Storyline
An elderly man in Kolkata has retired from his printing job and stays home, turning down his son's offer to move to America. A friend shows him a job advertisement seeking a storyteller in another city. This catches his attention because he used to make up tales for his friends when he was younger, even though he's never written a book.
“A retired man discovers a new chapter.”
