In Pune, Nirmala Gupta runs the household with strict laws that everyone follows, even though they may privately chafe at her rules. Her discipline shapes daily life and creates an atmosphere of quiet obedience. The rest of the family endures her control while secretly questioning its necessity.

Nirmala secures the marriage between her son Chander Gupta and Anju Dayal, the daughter of a wealthy Mumbai widower Ram Dayal. Anju arrives with her elder sister Manju Dayal, expanding the family circle. The arrangement reflects Nirmala's strategy of strengthening the household through influential alliances.

After the wedding, Manju Dayal comes to stay with the Gupta family for several months. She quickly earns the trust of Dwaraka Prasad and the other relatives, even as Nirmala remains wary. Inder begins to notice Manju's charm and liveliness.

Inder Gupta develops feelings for Manju during her stay, drawn to her vivacity and kindness. He keeps his growing affection private as the family adjusts to her presence. Manju remains largely unaware of his deeper feelings at this stage.

In a private gathering, Manju and some relatives stage a small play that portrays Nirmala's tyranny and the ways the house could prosper with more freedom. The performance happens on a day when Nirmala is not believed to be at home, adding to the misperception. The act unsettles Nirmala and stirs tensions in the family.

Nirmala accidentally sees the play and feels wounded by the depiction of her as a dictator. The revelation reinforces the sense that Manju has earned genuine trust while she feels increasingly isolated. The incident strains the family dynamics further.

The next day, Inder and the other family members depart for a wedding, leaving the house to Manju, Nirmala, and Dwaraka Prasad. In their absence, Manju's influence grows as the others are away. The uneasy balance in the home deepens.

Manju approaches Nirmala to apologize and seek reconciliation. Nirmala refuses to forgive and banishes Manju from the house, a drastic punishment that shocks the family. The banishment marks a turning point in their relationship.

In a moment of heated confrontation, Dwaraka Prasad challenges Nirmala, and the altercation triggers a serious heart attack. The household reels from the sudden crisis as his health deteriorates. Nirmala and Manju both react with concern.

Manju acts quickly to save him, using quick thinking to stabilize him and summon help. Her timely intervention reveals a compassionate side that contrasts with Nirmala's stern approach. The incident shifts how the family views Manju.

With Dwaraka on the mend, Nirmala reassesses Manju's character and recognizes the warmth and loyalty she has shown. The rough edges of her earlier judgment begin to soften. A new, more tolerant dynamic begins to emerge in the household.

When Inder and the rest of the relatives return from the wedding, Manju decides to leave the house. Inder follows her toward the railway station, hoping to mend things, while Nirmala accompanies them and contends with her own reservations.

At the station, Nirmala intercedes to stop Manju from departing, signaling a moment of reconciliation but also ongoing hesitation. The exchange marks a pivotal emotional beat between the two women. There is a sense that their relationship may still evolve.

In the end, Inder and Manju marry, uniting the two families and sealing the resolution of the conflict. The wedding represents a new chapter of harmony and mutual respect within the household. The film closes on a note of hopeful union.
