A medical student falls in love with a junior but pursues his career and because of an accident becomes blind which threatens his entire life.

The dude before me wrote the entire story... had I seen that..I would have never watched the movie!!!! This was a formulaic melodrama. The Director was following a typical formula while exploiting the names and the on-screen magic of the foremost movie pair in Bengal. The lighting and the camera work are dismal. Mind you by this time Satyajit Ray was making the first episode of his APU Trilogy and the camera work there runs circles around these guys. The end was pathetically predictable. Oh well even Ms. Sen appeared to be a bit &quot;tired&quot; and over-dramatic. I was thinking of Mr. Uttamkumar&#39;s crisp acting in Nayak. What an ocean apart! In November I saw the new Bengali Movie &quot;Autograph&quot; and was wondering......Formula and &quot;SEQUEL&quot; written all over. Oh well, I guess this Kolkata boy has seen a lot thus he is turning his nose up..who knows? May be that is the truth!!!

Sagarika

Arun (Uttamkumar) is a brilliant student born in a poor family in a remote village. After finishing MBBS Arun is working as a house surgeon at Bengal Medical College and aspires to go to London on a state Scholarship for further study. One day accidentally Arun collided with a junior medical student Sagrika (Suchitra Sen) in the college premises. Looking at the mesmerizing beauty of Sagarika, Arun fell in love . However, Arun didn&#39;t say anything to Sagarika. Arun&#39;s student Shipra became jealous of Sagarika. In order to harass Sagarika Shipra tore a page from Arun&#39;s diary (where Arun expressed his love for Sagarika) and sent it to Sagarika. Sagarika was extremely furious with Arun, and complained to the college Principal. The principal was upset with Arun&#39;s behaviour and decided not to recommend Arun&#39;s name for state scholarship. All his dreams being shattered, Arun returned to his Uncle (Pahari Sanyal) at his village. In order to fulfill his promise (that he will send Arun abroad for higher studies in medicine) to his brother (Arun&#39;s father) at his death bed, Pahari arranged Arun&#39;s marriage with Basanti (the daughter of a Zaminder). The Zaminder sponsored Arun for higher studies abroad on the condition that Arun will marry his daughter Basanti after his return. In the meantime Sagarika was extremely repentant when she came to know that it was Shipra&#39;s conspiracy to send Arun&#39;s letter to her. Sagarika felt guilty of shattering Arun&#39;s dream of securing state scholarship. The Zaminder came to Kolkata to meet his niece Sagarika and requested her to train Basanti so that she could be worthy of Arun. As Basanti was not well educated Sagarika used to write love letters to Arun on behalf of Basanti and by doing so Sagarika herself fell deeply in love with Arun. Arun stood first in FRCS and secured a scholarship for research. However, he met an accident and became blind. When they heard about Arun&#39;s accident, the Zaminder decided that Arun can&#39;t marry his daughter now. When Arun returned back to Kolkata, Arun&#39;s friend Kedar-da (Jiben Bose) and Sagarika (she told Arun that she is Basanti) took care of him. After a few months a renowned eye specialist came to Kolkata and told that with surgery Arun would get back his eyesight. The&#39;Zaminder learnt about Arun&#39;s possible recovery from Arun&#39;s Uncle. He told Sagarika that once Arun get back his eyesight, Basanti will surely marry Arun. Sagarika promised Arun that after surgery when he regains his eyesight, he will surely see his Basanti first.In the meantime Sagarika told everything (the incidents from College life and her love for Arun) to Basanti and told her to meet Arun when he gets back his sight. As soon as Arun recovered from successful eye surgery, he saw Basanti for the first time. But when he touched her hand , he recognised that this is not the Basanti whom he loves. Becoming extremely upset and violently agitated he was almost loosing his eyesight when Sagarika came rushing through the door and embraced Arun passionately, the movie ends with everybody feeling good.

One of the most cherished movies done by the immortal duo-Uttom Kumar &amp; Suchitra Sen. While being a house surgeon in a medical college, &#39;Arun&#39; (Uttam Kumar) has a misunderstanding over a love letter with a third year medical student, &#39;Sagarika&#39; (Suchitra Sen), and must leave the college, much to his dismay. Sagarika later finds out that it was not Arun&#39;s fault, but Arun has already left the college. Later, Arun&#39;s marriage is arranged with &#39;Basanti&#39; (Jamuna Sinha) , who also happens to be a distant relative of Sagarika. When Arun loses his vision in an accident, Basanti is unable to go to take care of him, and Sagarika takes her place. Unwilling to reveal her identity, Sagarika let&#39;s him think it is Basanti, not her. Sagarika learns that he still hates and despises her. Soon it will be time to take bandages off his eyes, and he will be able to see again, much to the dread of Sagarika.
A must watch film for the fan of Uttam-Suchitra.
