A family's joyful dinner of Ilish fish, carefully prepared takes an unexpected turn when an uninvited guest disrupts their evening, bringing unforeseen trouble.

  

Anirban Choudhury, a government employee, faces a financial crunch at the month’s end. As he carefully calculates expenses- his son's education, his daughter's two wheeler EMI, house rent, and an upcoming family wedding- he realizes money is tight. One morning, his wife, Minoti, expresses a sudden craving for Ilish fish. Aware of its cost, Choudhury reassesses his budget but refuses to disappoint her. Determined, he arranges the special meal. However, just as the family sits down to relish the carefully prepared dish, an unexpected guest arrives, disrupting their joyful evening and bringing unforeseen trouble.
