Plot of Raktabeej

The film has a layered plot.

On another layer, the film is about the strong anti-terrorism police front put up by IG Pankaj Sinha and SP of Burdwan, Sanjukta Mitra against a planned terrorist attack on the President. The directors seamlessly infuse the heartwarming premise with an intense, edge-of-the-seat thriller. The film also employs Sarbari Ghosal and Zinia Sen to curate relatable and heart-touching dialogues when required, as well as witty repartee and fun banter.
