Summary:
Pakhider Shahare Jemon weaves together three intertwined stories set against the backdrop of a rainy night. The central character, Joy, a businessman’s right-hand man, is caught in the turbulence of his troubled marriage with his wife, Kear. Tensions rise at work, with suspicion over his wife’s infidelity and shady dealings involving illegal dollars. As he navigates the complications of his professional and personal life, Joy is searching for a way out of his predicament.

Rothi, recently released from jail, faces a strained relationship with his girlfriend, Blossom, who no longer wants contact with him. Rothi longs to leave behind his dark past and join Blossom, but before that, he must finish one last task.

Bishan, a shy and unsuccessful water purifier salesman, struggles with failure in various aspects of life, including an abusive brother, a humiliating boss, and a distant love interest. As he seeks to regain his footing, the narrative explores his journey of resilience.

The stories are bound together by the monsoon season, the constant questioning of an elderly man named Kapil, and the imagery of wet birds perched on rooftops and bridges. In a city of humans, much like the city of birds, people too long for a bath of love and hope.
