The film is set in the tumultuous Naxalite uprising in Bengal in 1971. Byomkesh Bakshi gets involved in a story of vengeance when he decides to attend a play at the theatre. He becomes a witness to a crime unfolding on the center stage. As Byomkesh Bakshi digs deep into the case, it opens him to a tripartite story of love, betrayal, and infidelity.

The film is slated to release on 11th August 2022.
