Summary

Debabrata Bose happens to be a laid back 'typical middle class Bengali' who tries to change himself after repeated insults by various people in various forms. He also finds that, the Bengalis are bending backwards to please people of other communities and many Bengalis are deep rooted in large corruption. Entering as the greatest Bengali patriot ever, our 'Netaji', cannot keep quiet seeing all these, rises from immortality and makes a comeback to help Debabrata to rejuvenate and motivate the Bengalis. He helps Debabrata to stand up to voice against, particularly a non-Bengali promoter who plans to get hold of Debabrata's plot by kidnapping him and his family, but Debabrata manages to teach him a lesson with the help of invisible 'INA' sword given to him by Netaji.
