Plot
The film is about Kyabla (Parambrato Chatterjee), who lives in the slums, and falls for rich girl Bobby (Mumtaz Sorcar). Bobby loves Prem (Diganta Bagchi) and hates Kyabla. But Kyabla, who is obsessed with Uttam Kumar's films, won’t give up easily.
The film is a funny take on the love triangle. The title Ekbar Bolo Uttam Kumar was a dialogue director Chinmoy Roy told in his starring film Basanta Bilap; it was an instant hit. "Besides, this is my way of paying tribute to Uttam Kumar,” said the actor-turned-director.

The careful Devil is still at hand with means;

To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
