The story revolves around the life and work of Nobin Chandra Das, a young man with a romantic heart and a brilliant mind. Nobin Chandra Das's father dies soon after Nobin's birth and his family faces a financial crisis. Nobin decides to become a sweet maker. With a zeal to create something fresh and unique, Nobin had set his heart on making the most delicious sweet of all time for his wife, Khirodmoni.
After undergoing several trials and tribulations, which include alienating himself from his loved ones, Das finally emerges victorious and ends up creating one of the best things that could ever happen to all the Bengalis. Failure, misfortune, insult, nothing could stop Nobin. Khirodmoni Devi, his wife, has the courage to run a business in that era. This invention makes him famous in Bengal.
