In the story Uday, a young photojournalist on assignment in the jungles of the Sundarbans, rescues a white tiger cub ensnared in a poacher’s trap and brings the cub to a small settlement he is based in.

Soon, panic among the villagers sets in. In order to bring calm back to the villagers, the forest warden takes the cub away. The Royal Bengal Tigress enters the village in the night searching for her cub.

She picks up the scent of her cub’s blood and reaches the photographer’s hut. When she fails to get her cub back, her instinct leads her to avenge the kidnapping.

The organizers said that the movie has earned permission from Censor Board as well as information ministry for screening.

Mesbah Uddin Ahmed, senior manager (media, marketing division) of Star Cineplex told banglanews that they hope the audience will enjoy the movie as it has presented the Sunderbans, one of the UNESCO heritages, largely situated in Bangladesh.
