In the
picturesque town of Manikpur (West Bengal) of 1953, the zamindar goes to watch
a Chhau dance along with his daughter, Pakhi Roy Chaudhary, an aspiring writer.
After Pakhi has an asthma attack from the ensuing excitement, she is rushed
home and is given medication. As she recuperates, her father comforts her and
narrates the story of the invincible king whose soul resided inside a parrot,
and then proceeds to tell her that she is the parrot within whom his life
resides.
One day
while learning to drive a car, Pakhi accidentally bumps into a motorcycle and
mildly injures a handsome youth. While he is being treated, Pakhi gets drawn
towards him. A few days later, the same youth introduces himself to the
zamindar as Varun Shrivastav, an archaelogist who needs to study the land
surrounding the temple owned by the zamindar. Over the next few weeks, Varun
charms the zamindar and his daughter with his knowledge and persona, and is
invited along with his assistant, to live at their home.
Soon, love
brews between Varun and Pakhi as they bond over art and literature, and their
love culminates into a passionate affair. Meanwhile, an act passed by the
Indian government debars the powers of zamindars causing tension in the
Chaudhary household.
