What Does a Sympathetic Portrayal of Sexual Assault on Screen Look Like?

A happy-go-lucky engineering student lives with his family in Bangladesh and has fun with his friends. One day, he gets into a fracas with a local politician and his henchmen while trying to save his friend, where he gets arrested and has a case registered against him. The local court gives him a conditional bail, provided that he signs the register in a police station. On the way to the police station, he sees a college girl and falls in love with her. The police station, where he has to sign daily, is handled by his uncle, whose ex-lover is the constable at the station. He kindles his uncle's love life and makes merry at the girl's college, leading to funny situations.
