The film continues after the events of MLA Fatakeshto.

A lady reporter is reporting everything in "[[Star Ananda]]", a TV channel run by [[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]].

However, the Chief Minister ([[Soumitra Chatterjee]]) is in favor of Fatakeshto. With 4000 crores loss in Finance Department, Fatakeshto vows to take the Finance Ministry and recover the loss in seven days time. The Chief Minister also bestows the duty to Fatakeshto of removing the FM (one of the goons). With many hurdles on the way, Mithun recovers almost Rs. 3700 Cores loss by booking ministers for their misappropriation of funds but is left short of 300 crores.
