Plot
Nura is a street beggar. During the 1971 liberation war in Bangladesh, one of his legs became paralyzed. The Razakars attacked him, subsequently making him a crippled man. As a father, he has familial obligations that he could not abandon: he begs in the streets through rain and shine to make his dream a reality — to ensure that his daughter, Swapna, completes her education as a university student. Nura took part in the liberation struggle against the Pakistan Army. His attitude to life is different and does not have any regrets over his poverty, rather he enjoys begging as he sings in his native tongue, the Bengali language. He feels that Bangladesh would not have been liberated if he had to speak and sing in Urdu, which is a foreign language for him.
