Synopsis

edit

The narrative unfolds with the introduction of Bacchu, a renowned pickpocket known for his cunning skills and unethical ways. His story begins as he embarks on a bus journey, targeting unsuspecting passengers' wallets. However, his criminal activities take a dramatic turn when a group of menacing gangsters unexpectedly board the same bus, revealing Bacchu's secret thievery. The furious passengers turn on Bacchu, subjecting him to a brutal beating and ultimately reporting him to the authorities. Haunted by this humiliating experience, Bacchu becomes consumed by a thirst for revenge and desperation. His sole mission now is to locate Kalu Dakat, a notorious criminal, and ensure his arrest by law enforcement.

In a different part of the country, businessman Alamgir from Mymensingh frequently travels to Dhaka for business purposes. However, his insatiable desires lead him to seek the company of women wherever he goes. During one of his trips, he checks into Hotel Relax and requests an unusual service that perplexes the hotel staff.[3]

Rabbi, an unemployed dropout, is a regular guest at Hotel Relax. He has a sinister agenda—enticing new girlfriends to his hotel room, executing meticulously planned robberies, and repeating the process with other unsuspecting victims. Meanwhile, Salam, a loyal waiter at Hotel Relax, grapples with an uncontrollable temper, especially when faced with mistreatment. His life takes a dark turn when he impulsively pushes a rude customer off the hotel's rooftop. To his horror, a witness observes him committing this heinous act.

As Alamgir seeks companionship in his hotel room with the assistance of a pimp, an unexpected twist occurs. A fake policeman named Shakil apprehends them in the act, confiscating their cash. Unbeknownst to Shakil, his pursuit leads him to the room of the infamous Kalu Dakat, resulting in his own capture. Simultaneously, Bacchu, driven by his relentless mission to find Kalu Dakat, assembles a team of police officers to raid Hotel Relax. The hotel plunges into chaos as the police force arrives, engaging in a fierce shootout with Kalu Dakat's gang. The hotel manager awakens to the carnage, discovering the shattered state of Hotel Relax.[4] [5]
