Synopsis

Shontaan

The film depicts the tussles and difficulties in the troubled relationship between a son and his aged, ailing parents. Saradindu is an old man, battered down and tired from the daily struggles of life. He lives with his wife Mala who suffers from severe arthritis. Their son Indranil is a self-centric and selfish man who doesn't care about his parents. He works in a multinational company. With a high income, he lives a life of luxury with his wife Ria, and his son Pablo, away from his parents. He travels in a Mercedes, parties frequently with his colleagues, goes on international holidays, but is reluctant to provide time for his parents or to pay for his ailing mother's knee surgery when her health deteriorates. When Saradindu goes to Indranil to ask for money for Mala's surgery, he humiliates his father and denies to give any financial assistance.
