Nagnanir is a compelling narrative about the changing face of a city, where high-rise flats are rapidly replacing traditional homes. The story centers around Sudhakantha and his family, whose life is deeply intertwined with their beloved three-story house, "Punyagriha." As real estate development takes over, Sudhakantha's family must grapple with the aggressive plans of promoter Pinaki Majumdar, who aims to demolish their home and replace it with modern flats.
