Another version of the story involves a plagiarism lawsuit. The writer allegedly claimed the director stole the "twin lotus" concept from a little-known Assamese novel. The court issued an injunction against the film’s release. Since the producer had no money to fight the case or re-edit the film, the cans simply rotted in a warehouse, which was later flooded during a monsoon.
The plot unfolds in a rural Bengal village plagued by a mysterious illness. Folklore suggests that two antagonistic spirits—one benevolent (associated with the red lotus) and one malevolent (associated with the blue lotus)—are locked in an eternal battle. Lal Kamal Neel Kamal Bengali Movie
