Plot of Abar Proloy
The mysterious murder of Varun Biswas was the centre of the story of Abar Proloy’s most recent version, “Proloy”, in 2013. This exciting and gripping mystery of the murder and the determination to solve this seemingly unsolvable case was a massive hit with the crowd, garnering much attention and applause.
Abar Proloy also builds on this and amplifies the suspense and thrilling storyline. The storyline is based in the heart of the Sunderban, where a nefarious plot is in full swing.
The story revolves around a group of teenage boys that are up to no good. These teenage boys have become experts in manipulating young girls and use this tactic on these unsuspecting girls. They lie and flatter and do whatever is necessary for obtaining their goal, i.e. gaining the girl’s trust.
This makes these girls vulnerable, and they lower their guard, blindly trust them and ultimately fall in love with these boys. However, this love is only one-sided, as these teenage boys have now found what they want.
They use this blind trust and unconditional love of these young and vulnerable girls to execute their ultimate plan, i.e. trafficking these girls to other states of India. These girls are at the mercy of these people and are made to do morally and lawfully wrong things.
The Police department of Sunderban notices this increase in women trafficking and acts upon this immediately. The case is assigned to the fearless and rowdy cop, Animesh Datta, played by Saswata Chatterjee.
The story then focuses on Animesh’s attempts to locate and safely bring these girls back and his attempts to take down this gang, eliminating the violence in the Sunderban once and for all. His fearlessness, valour and his wit are all tested in this case.
Animesh Datta must confront the dangerous criminal mastermind who runs this operation, Kanu, played by Gaurav Chakrabarty. This back-and-forth exchange of action and animosity between these two makes the series necessary to watch.
