Like William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", the plot of the play revolves around two families, who differ from each other in terms of religion in the adapted backdrop of a city in Bangladesh. Amidst the ever-growing rivalry and conflict between the two influential families, two young members of the respective families, Jui and Rumman, fall in love with each other.
As their love story progresses, two members of their families get killed, leading to a brutal communal riot in the city. After the incident, Jui's marriage to a wealthy businessman is fixed by her family, which leads to the play's climactic end.
Director of the play, HM Motaleb, said, "We tried our best to bring the famous romantic play to the stage. I am sure that the audience will love it."
