Krishnendu, a brilliant medical student in the National Medical College, Calcutta, in the pre-independence period and an avid atheist falls in love with Rina Brown, daughter to a Christian father. As Rina's father successfully convinces Krishnendu to change his religion, the fanatic Hindu in Krishnendu's father begs Rina to leave Krishnendu for good without disclosing to him the reason for this sudden flight. Though both the lovers part but Providence again brings them nearer in a miraculous way. The chance meeting reveals the silent adoration that each still felt for the other but again the promise to Krishnendu's father gets the better of Rina and she leaves Krishnendu once again. But the Almighty seemed to test these loving souls when a letter to Krishnendu from his repentant father arrives, revealing the secret to him with Rina still untracable. Meanwhile WWII breaks in and both Krishnendu and Rina, by a curious turn of fate, arrives at a Red Cross hospital at Assam at almost the same time. The audience is left breathless till the last moment and the intense drama of the movie makes it an all time classic.
The romantic duo of Uttam Kumar and Suchitra Sen seems to attain a new height in this film while in the side roles Chayadevi excells with her muted expressions and Chobi Biswas is just perfect for his role. The photography, cinematography and overall direction are excellent and Hemanta Mukherjee's music direction blends just to well with the variety of emotions that the film exhibits. Utpal Dutta lends his majestic voice in one of the unique exhibitions of drama in silver screen that enriches the movie even more.
