Screenwriter Amitabha Roy is on his way to the provinces to do research for a new project. When his car breaks down in a small village, he recognizes his childhood sweetheart in the wife of the man who offers him accommodation for the night, whom he had left at a difficult moment out of cowardice. Since then, he has been unable to enter into a relationship with another woman. KAPURUSH runs together with MAHAPURUSH, as it does in contemporary theatrical distribution. In the film adaptation of Rajshekhar Basu's satirical short story about a devout Hindu family that falls for a self-proclaimed healer, Ray expressed his contempt for spiritual gurus and impostors.
