Watching this movie was like having a root canal - without anesthesia. The movie begins and ends with two characters falling from a roof and dying - and in the end you too would wish you had done the same and saved yourself the pain of watching this movie.
Arya(Samadarshi) is a painter who paints on the bare backs of women - as canvas no longer interests him. Tilottama (Swastika) is his girlfriend - who is not ready to be one of his living canvases. Amartya (Joy Sengupta) is the last scion of an old zaminder family - and a psychiatrist. Both Tilottama and Arya are his patients (unknown to each other). After Tilottama snubs Arya's 'living canvas' offer, she marries Amartya.
During one of Arya's visits to him, Amartya realizes that Arya and Tilottama were lovers - and he invites Arya to his ancestral house on the pretext of commissioning a series of paintings of the ancestral house. (Thankfully Arya decided to do this on paper - and doesn't bring a team of bare backed ladies with him). Tilottama displays displeasure on seeing Arya - but gets cozy with him the very next day. Arya behaves like a proper gentleman (gets drunk and shouts to the entire world that he and Tilottama are lovers). In the end , Tilottama entices him to go to the roof with her and manages to get him fall from it. Arya dies with an expression of pure bliss (probably he was just happy that the movie is about to end).
Swastika looks like Samadarshi's aunt and its difficult to accept them as lovers. No explanations are given about Amartya's actions. No explanations would have been enough anyway.
