== Plot ==
Village boy Siddheswar (alias Sidhu) loves Madhuri, the daughter of Hari. Hari, the rich village headman, will never accept Sidhu as a son-in-law. When they decide to marry, Hari sends some henchmen who almost murder Sidhu. Shocked, Madhuri commits suicide and Sidhu is mistakenly sent to hell while he is still alive. He starts a revolution in hell and heaven, and chases the Hindu God of Death, [[Yama (Hinduism)|Yamraj]] and [[Chitragupta]] out of hell with the help of his dead pet bull. He eradicates outdated rules and norms that were framed by Yamraj, and his head clerk Chitragupta, while Bichitragupta assists him. Thereafter, [[Vishnu]] and [[Lakshmi]] come to Sidhu and Vishnu blesses him and returns him back to Earth with his beloved Madhuri. Hari accepts them gladly.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sharmistha Gooptu |title=Bengali Cinema: 'An Other Nation' |date=November 2010 |isbn=9781136912177 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DcUtCgAAQBAJ&q=Jibanta+manush+Bhanu&pg=PA137 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180408210025/https://books.google.com/books?id=DcUtCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA137&lpg=PA137&dq=Jibanta+manush+Bhanu&source=bl&ots=ilNk8KxODs&sig=MiYXIPbABvrX196hvt4SbH61RcY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwia14jGlqraAhUfS48KHYbvC9g4ChDoAQgsMAE#v=onepage&q=Jibanta%20manush%20Bhanu&f=false |archive-date=2018-04-08 |access-date=8 April 2018}}</ref>
