Summary:
In Nivedita Research Laboratory, we follow the life of renowned Bengali scientist, Jimutbahana, who has always faced opposition from his wife, Ishita. Every time he tries to appoint a beloved student as his assistant to aid in his work, Ishita manipulates the situation by removing these students and marrying them off to others. Despite his discontent, Jimutbahana remains unable to stop his wife’s actions. However, the situation reaches a critical point when Ishita attempts to marry off Amitabh, a new assistant, to their daughter Madalsa, who is Jimutbahana’s most beloved child. Torn between his fatherly love and his lifelong dedication to science, Jimutbahana must decide which path to take: give in to his wife’s manipulations or stand up for his own work and ideals.
