The film starts with a match between 11 Bullets and a cricket team of South Kolkata. The hero, named Abir, alone smashes 11 Bullets. The team members of 11 Bullets are then abused by the people of their locality. In the meantime, Abir comes with his family to stay at Dorjipara, which is the locality of 11 Bullets. But, due to huge cultural deference between North Kolkata and South Kolkata, Abir becomes irritated to stay over there. The niece of the landlord of Abir's tenant house, stars having regular quarrels with Abir. Then, Abir discovers that a political leader is trying to grab Dorjipara, and for that, the leader wants the tenant house, which the landlord does not want to sell. When Abir teaches the 11 Bullets people, that without protesting against these political evils, they will not be able to survive, slowly, those people come close to Abir, and vice versa. Then slowly, Abir gets intimate with Rani, which her brother Rajat does not like. A Person, Shankar, who is attached to that leader comes and gets involved with the unmarried, frustrated, elder sister of Rani, named Ratna. But, when Shankar says that, he wants to marry Rani, not Ratna. Then Ratna kills herself. Ultimately, when the party leaders come to take control over Dorjipara, Abir throws a challenge of a cricket match, which is going to decide, who's going to get control over the house. 11 Bullets have a tensed and marvelous win, and Abir has a romantic win over Rani.
