During a carefree summer visit, Mandar and his cousin Dilip are introduced to sex and relationships by their older cousin Kshitij. The lessons shape Mandar's early swagger and confidence with women. This formative period foreshadows the complicated path his love life will take.

Back at school, Mandar's swagger earns him admiration among friends. He is expelled from his college dormitory for bringing a girl to his room, forcing a move to a new apartment. He reconnects with his steady girlfriend Parul, starting a more settled phase before the next upheaval.

Mandar is drawn into an extramarital affair with Jyotsna. Parul, feeling sidelined, bids him farewell. The affair ends when Jyotsna’s husband confronts Mandar, exposing his indiscretion.

Kshitij becomes a polished military officer and rescues Anju, a survivor of abuse, bringing her home. Mandar and Yusuf respond with a flippant, racist joke to the scene. Anju's arrival shifts the family dynamic and challenges Mandar’s casual attitudes.

Kshitij and Anju marry and have a son. He departs on military duty a while later, leaving Mandar to navigate life without his older cousin’s constant presence.

Over the next decade, Mandar hones his talent for attracting women but also experiences failures in arranged-match attempts. He turns to matrimonial websites to seek a more stable match. The ongoing pursuit shows how his past conquests collide with conservative family expectations.

Taking Yusuf's advice, Mandar tries to present himself as demure and conservative for Tripti. However, Tripti is liberal and rejects him for his image. The mismatch signals that honesty may be more important than outward appearances.

Tragedy strikes when Kshitij is killed during an encounter in Kashmir. Mandar is crushed by the loss, and Tripti grows closer to him as they navigate grief together. Their shared vulnerability forges a stronger bond.

The engaged couple attends a pre-wedding party where Mandar meets Tripti’s former boyfriend, Chaxx. The encounter unsettles him as he confronts a part of his past he has kept hidden.

Mandar has a last fling with a former flame, leading him to a hotel encounter that ends in embarrassment when the woman turns out to be a distant relative. He must face the consequences of his pattern before the wedding.

Back at Tripti's house, Mandar confesses that he lied about his past to win a partner for marriage. Tripti reveals that Chaxx is in the past and that she plans to build a present and future with Mandar.

The couple share a kiss, and Mandar feels he has finally laid his demons to rest after a life spent pursuing women. The moment marks a turning point as they commit to moving forward together.

In an auto rickshaw ride with Yusuf, Mandar recounts two versions of the same story. He concludes that the second version—the honest one—is the true one, affirming his choice to live openly.
