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.

Several murders have taken place throughout Kolkata, for which a serial killer is believed responsible. The murderer strikes in accordance with verses of Bengali poetry, which he leaves next to the victims. The police are baffled; chief detective Abhijit Pakrashi (Parambrata Chatterjee) struggles to solve the case, which takes a toll on his relationship with girlfriend Amrita Mukherjee (Raima Sen). Pakrashi's superior brings back an ex-cop, Prabir (Prosenjit Chatterjee), to help solve the case. Prabir, earlier suspended for his violent methods, is notoriously ill-tempered and foul-mouthed. Prabir and Pakrashi work together, while Amrita (a television journalist) and colleague Surya Sinha (Abir Chatterjee) research serial killers for a series whose thirteenth—and final—episode will be about a contemporary murderer. Meanwhile, eccentric poet Nibaron Chakraborty (Gautam Ghosh)—who considers himself part of the Hungry Generation—wanders Kolkata at night reciting poems.

Rabindranath Tagore’s elder brother Jyotirindranath Tagore, a Western educated bright young man from the 19th century Bengal met the octogenarian Lalan Fakir and drew a portrait of the poet saint in the former houseboat afloat on the Padma river. Jyotirindranath, an urban intellectual exchange views with the man of native wisdom. Their exchange of ideas forms the cinematic narrative of this film. The narrative is a saga of the life and time of Lalan Fakir and his liberal sect who lived a life of high order in an otherwise superstitious 19th century Indian society. Lalan inherited the best of the liberal and enlightened tradition of Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam to develop a philosophy of life which is extremely secular and tolerant. Thus became an easy prey for the fundamentalists from the Hindu and the Muslim institutions. They were the parallel stream flowing freely in the heart of rural Bengal when men like Tagore were germinating ideas of the Bengal Renaissance. The love and compassion of Lalan is relevant more than ever in today’s world of intolerance and hate.
