Plot
Mr. Mallik lives in a house about a hundred years old, at the old part of Dhaka city. Real estate companies frequent around his house at Old Dhaka as they construct multiple apartments. Mr. Malik is also provided with an offer, to have his house demolished and the companies would construct an apartment in its place. This brings Mr. Malik to a point of dilemma. Meanwhile, her daughter, Ruba returns from the United States with her six-year-old daughter, after being abused by her husband. Hearing about the offer of demolishing their house from her father, she opposes it.
Ruba reminisces her memories around the house as she moves from one room to another. On a balcony, she comes across a man's red underwear owned by their next-door neighbor, Kislu, who wears a different color of underwear each day of the week. Ruba is amused by this and eventually bonds with Kislu.
Soleman, who murdered someone earlier in his life, now works as a security guard at Mr. Mallik's house. He often has fights with the local goons. When Mr. Malik discovers about the relationship between Ruba and Kislu, he plans to separate them and rescue his daughter. When Kislu is murdered, the plot becomes more complicated.
