The story has beautifully depicted the love between the jeep driver, Birkhe, played by ace actor Dayahang Rai and his son, Siddharth, a Bengali boy whom he gave shelter after his parents die in an accident. Birkhe being a drunkard wasn’t able to take care of the boy and hence everyone advised to send him to send the boy to a boarding school. Moreover, he wasn’t allowed to meet him until he finishes schooling.
