The film starts with a woman writing a letter, which reads 'Amar mrittur jonne keu dayi noy' which means that 'no one is responsible for my death'; but she strikes out 'keu dayi noy', hinting that there is someone, or some people responsible. A man is seen coming out of a taxi, coming up the stairs, and then opening a study room where the woman is seen hanging from the ceiling. A young boy, who was probably sleeping on a bed nearby, rushes to greet the man, but discovers the woman's hanging corpse. Here the camera rolls back to sometime past. A beautiful woman named 'Nilanjana' is seen talking with some people, and then visits another man in a corner named 'Ritwik', and together, they go to meet someone. The audience is brought to the present again, where a producer and a director is seen having a deal that the latter would convince three famous film-artists to feature in the film. The director leaves, and starts doing what he said. There are various minor details as in introducing the three present characters. The director 'Joy', who seems close to one of those artists, Trina, meets her on a rooftop, and tries to convince her to take up this work against her wishes to work with another man who would feature in this collaboration. There is a slight hint that there is an old clash between them, possibly of love. Meanwhile, another such famous film-artist 'Sakhyo' tries to convince that very man named 'Diptyo' with whom Trina has a problem with to join this collaboration. The idea is that these people are to make a film, individually; thus, four directors get together and plan to make a film, consisting of four short stories one one theme-DEATH. They have an appointment with the producer on the outskirts of the city. Now, again, in a black-and-white screen, Nilanjana and Ritwik are meeting a producer, and they have just one request before finalizing the contract-their mutual friend 'Amitava' who is a struggling, but talented director. In the shooting set, it is clearly implied that 'Amitava' is in love with Nilanjana, and is filled by rage, and becomes jealous when he discovers Ritwik and she kissing in a room during the shooting. Coming back to the present, while the four are together, all three except Joy comes up with a story which is unique in its own way, but connected to the other stories by a common theme. Their stories are autonomous. In between the stories, some scenes reveal that there is something in between Trina and Diptyo. However, in the middle of the night, as they were going towards their destination, the car breaks down, and they spend the night in a nearby bungalow that is said to be belonging to the same producer; his cell phone is switched off. It is here that each of them revisits their past by the courtesy of Joy. In the beautifully crafted climax, Joy starts narrating his own story before meeting the producer. He says that his film named 'Nemesis' features three people-an actress, an actor and a director, of the '70s. The actress Nilanjana, is the leading superstar of that era. The actor Ritwik is a very good painter, and the director 'Amitava' is a struggling one, though talented. Diptyo interrupts and says that he shall send him his mail-id, here Joy can send his pay-cheque, implying that his characters are the very same people in that room. Joy, not quite interrupted, continues; he tells that 'these three were connected by a well known figure of geometry-Triangle'. Nilanjana fell in love with Ritwik after observing his acting skills; the couple were very compatible in the beginning, both had common likes and fancies. They started dating. 'Amitava' had to live with unreciprocated love, but this did not affect the friendship among them. But then, when the film is about 70% complete, the relationship between Nilanjana and Ritwik breaks, and Amitava, no longer able to see the two brimming with romance, decides to leave the film. In between all this, the producer, who was up with a new idea in the world of Bengali Films, and had spent a lot of money, went bankrupt. Although this man could somehow manage to live, his wife, who noticed that her jewellery was one by one consumed to make up for lost money, hung herself due to a financial insecurity. The man was broken and devastated-he became mentally unstable, and turned mad. Joy stops here. The rest three, who remained a bit shocked at the recurrence of past events, that actually featured them, however, praised him for the plot. Diptyo asked him where was the connection of retribution, or nemesis with these events. In response, Joy says that this ways just the pre-title - the real story takes place 20 years later. In the real story, this producer's step-brother, whom they loved more than their own child was scarred for life when he saw all these happen. He was brilliant student, and even out of all financial crisis there was no bar put before his education-he went abroad with a scholarship, but came all the way back to Calcutta to direct films, because that was in his blood. He wanted to do that desperately. After filming some low-grade films, he draws up courage for his final act. He told the three of a fake producer, a fake deal, with a fake card and a fake cell-phone number. Right then, Diptyo tries to look into his mobile to check on something, when Joy shouts, calls in the driver of their car 'Sanjay', who was supposedly in the city with the faulty parts of the car. Sanjay, though reluctantly, points a revolver with 4 bullets, at them, and takes away their cell phones. Joy now continues; He says, "After successfully entrapping them in a desolate bungalow in the middle of a jungle...this guys, he decides to...kill them!...one by one." Now as the climax draws to an end, at first the revolver is aimed at Sakhyo, but the cabinet is empty when the trigger is pressed! With the next culprit Diptyo, the same thing happens. Next, when it is pointed at Trina, and there is no doubt that this time there will be a shot, Trina declares that she still loves Diptyo. Just when the trigger was about to be pressed, a quick thought from Diptyo made him pull Trina out of the bullet's way, which in turn hit Joy, fatally. The camera is seen drifting away from a scene of regret and sobs from the driver and another old servant in the house. This was his film, 'Nemesis.

The movie is a strong insight into psychological dilemma about the primal existence of life. It reiterates the fact that you can 'shock someone by letting her know that death is impending and inescapable.’ It is a dark comedy which successfully evokes an awareness of life. The comic element is used dexterously to bring out the fear of death. The protagonist Meghna (Koel Mallick), misses her mother, hums the songs of her favorite Sidhartha Roy numbers, blames the new lady in her father’s life, shaken by the dejection by her fiancé. Yet, as an escape route from the world of pain and suffering she goes to her father doctor to get prescribed sleeping pills. Ananda Kar (Parambrata) as the name suggests ‘make merry’ refrains her from ending her life. He comes with an unusual proposal of imparting her technical know how about committing suicide. He adds 'the training will save you from embarrassment if suicide becomes a vain attempt'. Ananda Kar is the founder of the Hemlock Society, that teaches aspirants how to successfully commit suicide. The names of the professors are also significant of the tricks they will teach to execute the end. The society is a film studio. Meghna assembles with all other suicide aspirants being addressed by the over-enthusiastic professors, trainlet, jhulan, dhamani, raktim, shikha, all specialists in different suicide methods. Meghna goes with him, leaving a goodbye message for her parents at her apartment door. Dr. Basu comes in search of his daughter, finds the note and shatters in grievance. Dr. Basu and Niharika start their search for Meghna and almost leave no stone unturned. Meanwhile at Hemlock Society, Meghna encounters with miscellaneous experiences related to humans lives and death. The three day workshop at the society makes her understand the importance of life and what difference her loss would mean to her near and dear ones. The metamorphosis of Meghna occurs when she realizes the miseries of other inmates and considers herself lucky. On the final day, Meghna confesses to Ananda that she wants to live and a vital reason which worked behind her changing of mind is that she had fallen in love with Ananda. Ananda informs her that he is suffering from 'Lymphocytopenia' a medical condition for which he would survive only for two more years. Meghna leaves Hemlock Society, sobbing and returns to her father. The very thought that someone near the cradle of death can ‘drink life to the lees’ in spite of complain and regret, surprises her. She learns from Ananda, that Hemlock society is an institute that refrains people from ending their life by making them aware of the importance of life. Six months later, Meghna reconciles with Ananda while he is on a nursing home bed, after having a blood-transfusion. The film ends with a witty note where Meghna’s fiancé (Saheb Chatterjee), now a dejected soul and undoubtedly suicide aspirant, being taken to 'Hemlock Society'.
