Plot

Ananta Das is a middle-class common man who commutes daily on the 8:08 A.M. Bongaon Local to Sealdah for his office job. During his regular journey towards Kolkata, he realizes that people have stopped protesting against any form of injustice due to fear or depression, and he, too, has become spineless like others. However, an incident shocks him and changes his mindset completely. One day, a student is killed by goons for protesting against the eve-teasing of his elder sister. At first, Ananta refrains from taking action, but later he bursts out with anger and protests against every wrong deed in his surroundings.
