Suddenly, Fatema's father is struck by paralysis, and he can no longer pull the rickshaw for a living. With the source of income gone, Fatema's dreams of pursuing education and securing a government job fade away.

She had hoped to alleviate all of her father's struggles through her success, but now her family's financial situation is dire.

As the events unfold, Fatema loses her father, and her mother has already been missing for a long time. In these difficult times, the priest Sadhan Thakur stands by Fatema's side.

He offers her shelter in his home, becoming her refuge. Fatema, in return, treats the priest as her grandfather and gives him sisterly affection. However, this sparks unrest in the entire village.

This is the premise of director Atiul Islam's film 'Fatema.' Rahul Arunoday Banerjee plays the role of Sadhan Thakur, while the newcomer Mun portrays Fatema's character.

Fatema had aspired to study and secure a government job to alleviate her father's struggles, but her dreams are shattered when she is suddenly struck by paralysis.

Her father's rickshaw business comes to a halt, and so does her education. Then, one day, her father also passes away, leaving her all alone. 

In her helpless state, she finds solace in the presence of the priest, Sadhan Thakur, who welcomes her into his home.

The villagers find fault with the close bond between a Muslim girl like Fatema and a Hindu priest like Sadhan Thakur. The film delves into religious clashes and confrontations with the orthodox sect.

Does religion truly divide people? However, no one is evil here; the Muslim Maulvi says, "Islam preaches peace."

Sadhan Thakur, on the other hand, quotes Swami Vivekananda, "He who loves others serves God." 

But who listens to whom, and who understands the motives of others? The narrow-minded individuals fail to comprehend anything beyond their own self-interest.

Directed by newcomer Atiul Islam, the film centers around the characters played by Rahul Arunoday Banerjee as Sadhan Thakur and Mun as Fatema. 

Alongside them, Laboni Sarkar, Raju Majumdar, Santona Basu, Barun Chakraborty, Anindita Som, Monajit Borah, and many others also feature in the film.

Before the release of 'Fatema,' Rahul had revealed, "The film is extremely relevant. In today's world, where people are being divided based on their differences, this story becomes very timely. I feel this kind of film should be made more often now. I liked the story, and that's why I agreed to do the film."

The film 'Fatema' seems to be a thought-provoking tale, exploring the impact of societal norms and religious beliefs on individuals. 

With promising performances by the cast, it is likely to leave a lasting impression on the audience.
