Bishorjan

The film opens with a young Hindu woman refusing to see Durga Bishorjon with her son. Bishorjon takes place with huge celebrations as the two Bengals immerse their Durga idols in the river Ichamati separating them. The young mother recalls memories of a Bishorjon in her past.

After the partition of India, Bengal was divided into East Pakistan (later becoming Bangladesh) and West Bengal, a state of India. As border tensions rise, the people from either side begin drifting apart. A Hindu widow, Padma, lives in a village on the Bangladeshi side with her aging father-in-law. One day she saves a West Bengali Muslim man, Naseer, and takes care of him, who had nearly drowned in the Ichamati river during Durga Bishorjon. Naseer's presence in Bangladesh is illegal. To suppress any suspicion of his citizenship, they claim he is her cousin. Ganesh, the middle-aged jamidar of Padma's village and in love with her, grows suspicious of Naseer. Padma and Naseer wonder how a river divided people of the same ethnicity and created many differences between them, be it dialects or lifestyles.

Padma tries to find a way for Naseer to return to India. He reminds her of her husband, who died from excessive drinking. When Padma hears about Naseers's girlfriend, Ayesha, she is heartbroken. The two lonely souls start falling for each other. Ganesh learns of Naseer's real identity and decides to keep a watch on him. Naseer confesses to Padma that he lied about drowning during Durga Bishorjon. He reveals he has connections to the black market. Padma's father-in-law dies. Naseer worries about Padma's safety as a young widow alone in the village with Ganesh's prying eyes on her. Padma tells him not to worry and to prepare to return to West Bengal. Ganesh makes a heartfelt confession of love to Padma. He promises to wait forever for her. Padma arranges Naseers's return to India but needs help. She accepts Ganesh's marriage proposal in exchange for him helping her smuggle Naseer back to West Bengal.

The night before Naseer leaves, Padma gets drunk and bares her pain to Naseer. Distraught that Padma has to marry Ganesh because of him, he breaks down. Unable to control their feelings anymore, the two make love. The next day, Padma bids a tearful goodbye to Naseer and sends him away with a gift for Ayesha. Naseer promises to end his business in the black market. Ganesh takes Padma away to his house as Naseer leaves in a boat to the other Bengal. In the present day, Padma is now married to Ganesh, and it's Bijoya Doshomi. She refuses to go to see Bishorjon in Ichamati; her little son leaves with Ganesh without her. The big reveal at the end shows the son is Naseers's, as both carry the same birthmark.
