Synopsis:

After nearly fifteen years of practicing medicine abroad, Rupankar returns to Kolkata with a vision—to establish 'Rejuve,' a small nursing home aimed at providing affordable healthcare to the common people. His wife, Swasti, stands by his side, facing the challenges and adversities that arise in their journey.

However, Rupankar soon finds himself entangled in a web of internal corruption within the healthcare system, social constraints, and the pressures of family life. The struggles of parenthood add further turmoil—will his sons, Tata and Lalao, be willing to stay back in their parents’ homeland, or will they choose a different path?

Amidst all this, a hidden conflict brews within the family—Rupankar's niece-in-law, Ragini, seeks to uncover the true identity of her child’s father.

Parijayi is a deeply introspective novel, unraveling the intricate layers of human relationships, migration, identity, and moral dilemmas with remarkable depth and realism.
