The film reaches a climax when Arindam, overcome by his guilt, contemplates suicide and is dissuaded by Aditi.

When the train reaches its destination, Arindam alights and is surrounded by his fans and is back to his normal star self where there is no place for guilt, confessions and Aditi.—Diptakirti Chaudhuri <diptakirti@hotmail.com>
