Synopsis

Abhimaan is the story of a proud Italian-Bengali business tycoon Ashok Deb Burman and his estranged daughter Madhuja. Madhuja harbours hate for her father — who disowned her because she married someone from a lower society against his wishes. Twenty five years pass and mellowed with age, Ashok now wants to mend his relationship with Madhuja. For this, he seeks the help of his grandson, Aditya Deb Burman. The rest of the story follows Aditya's leaving Italy and arriving at Kolkata, entering the house posing as a driver and how he gets into many adventures and misadventures and finally succeeds in reconciling his grandfather with his aunt.
