Amit, a modern guy raised in Bombay and educated in the USA, faces his parents' insistence on marrying Madhuri, a village girl. He resists their plan but is pressed to accept the arranged match. The setup foreshadows a clash between modern ideals and traditional expectations.

Shrikant visits Amit's home just before the wedding. Amit's father demands gold as a dowry to mock him. To prevent the wedding from being called off, Shrikant buys fake jewellery, complicating the plan with a visible deception.

During the wedding ceremony, Amit sees the fake jewellery and uses the moment to reject Madhuri, despite the ceremony having begun. Madhuri becomes his wife in name though the marriage is emotionally unsettled. The family tries to salvage the situation by asking Madhuri to wait for Amit's change.

Amit's parents ask Madhuri to wait for some time for him to come around. She remains in the in-laws' house, uncertain about her future. The unresolved marriage becomes the new status quo.

A year passes with Amit absent from bringing Madhuri to her in-laws. Madhuri decides to seek work in Bombay to build a life of her own. The marriage remains unofficial, but she takes control of her destiny.

At a Bombay job interview, Madhuri discovers that the boss interviewing her is Amit. She is hired anyway, despite the awkward history. The encounter redefines their relationship and sets a new stage for romance and conflict.

To present a fresh identity at work, Madhuri changes her name to Malathi Choudhury. She keeps her past hidden as she steps into her new role. Amit, unaware of her true identity, begins to notice Malathi in the office.

Amit develops feelings for Malathi, and Malathi reciprocates. Their romance grows within the workplace while the truth about Madhuri's identity remains hidden. The pair plans a future together, complicating obligations and loyalties.

With feelings deepening, Amit contemplates marrying Malathi and hiding that he is already married to Madhuri. This secret threatens to derail both families and reveals a conflict between modern desire and traditional duty. The moral stakes rise as deception mounts.

Amit's parents learn that Malathi is connected to Madhuri and confront the matter. They attempt to dissect the truth and continue a game of mistaken identities to protect appearances. Tension builds as both sides draw closer to an open confrontation.

Madhuri's mother reveals that Malathi is actually Madhuri, bringing the truth into the open. Amit responds with a staged drama as he processes the revelation. The deception finally starts to crumble under the weight of family pressure.

Realizing the mess, Amit asks for forgiveness and invites Madhuri as daughter-in-law to his house. He takes responsibility for his earlier missteps and pledges to repair their strained relationship. The families prepare to move toward a united future.
