Plot[edit source]

Staring at the forlorn street Habol( Saswata Chaterjee) was thinking “How the day will run!” as his accomplice, Bile( Samiyul Alam), could not catch a customer interested to take a photograph of their deceased family member. What is aperture? What is shutter speed? How and when to use flash? Habol learned all these at the age of 14 from Kanakda( Amitabha Bhattacharya) who dedicated his life for photography. Kanakda used to visit Habol’s para every now and then not just for a mere gossip but to have a sneak look at Ria. But unfortunately their relationship didn’t mature forcing Kanakda to disappear in the winds leaving his camera to Habol. It eventually turned to be the cataclysmic event in Habol’s life. Life had its own twist and turn on Habol leading him to open the ‘Shamshankali Studio’ to take pictures on the request of the corpse accompaniers who wanted the last picture of their beloved one before being burnt. His life went on with the accompany of Palda the caretaker of the crematorium and the other small shopkeepers like Salem, Sugna and Bishu. An awkward addiction gripped Habol. He used to keep one snap of the deceased for his own collection and would name him or her according to his fascination. One such photo was named ‘Labonyo’, a corpse of a 27-28 year old sweet looking married woman having a melancholy eye. He loved the eyes and like Cezanne told ‘Monet is only an eye, but my god what an eye’; Habol thought Labonyo had an eye, and my god what an eye. This photo gripped him day by day. His long await for the compassion of love was fulfilled by the unassuming, fathoming presence of Labonyo(Srabanti Chatterjee). One day as the evening breeze spelled magic on the 4 friends after the kick of local whisky has started, Palda started explaining the intricacies of life; Smitten with sexual desire Habol went home to force himself with Labonyo. Labonyo gradually through her presence, nature and gesture mesmerised Habol. Slowly and steadily he started avoiding the company of his associates only to gain Labonyo. He curtailed every bit of his time from the outer world just to be with Labonyo. One night, extremely excited Habol and Labonyo for the first time went outside. They were too happy to play hide and seek when Sugna, Habol’s friend got to see Habol playing alone like a mad in the moonlit field. All friends rushed in Habol’s house to find clothings of women which Habol claimed to be of his wife Labonyo ( no one saw her ). He was rushed to hospital. ‘Necrophilia’ is a disease and is curable as Habol is only in the 2nd stage– explained Dr. Majumdar. Friends waited anxiously for six months and brought back their very own Habol back to their para. All was fine till One day Paulda came with a ‘pite’ and sat with Habol. As intoxication grew, Paulda started talking about that incident. Habol hesitated but Paulda was not one to be stopped today. At an extreme moment Paulda found a GACH KOUTO (sindor box) and laughed at the childish behavior of Habol. Laughed for being in love with a Petni. Threw all the sindor on ground and then suddenly Habol heard a sobbing. Labonyo was crying and trying to replace the sindor back in the box. Blood ran through Habol’s head. ‘Fit’ Habol got irritated of drunk Palda and killed him strangulating. Seeing no other way out Labonyo and Habol decided to leave immediately during the night. Camera tilted down only to show one pair of foot prints on the muddy road.
