Even dedicated fans of Indian cinema are likely to find this movie hard to sit through. Mohan returns from the city but he's too late and this tear-drenched, melancholic drama eventually reaches an improbable conclusion after much recrimination. He didn't expect a young bride and promptly has a coronary - but manages to force Manju into promising to be a mother to the children. The groom is an old man with a heart condition and four young children. Neither the bride nor the groom see each other's faces until after the ceremony. For a few rupees, Makhu does the deal with her. Makhu knows just where to find a groom a rich contractor whose sister is looking to get some free home help. Despite the protests of Mohan's father and the distraught Manju, the Panchayat decides that if a date has been set for a wedding, then a wedding there shall be. The Panchayat (village court) accepts the lies of the villainous Mahku and his sidekick, Kalva that Mohan must have run off with a city girl. (Apparently, it doesn't occur to anyone to go and find out what may have happened to Mohan). The wedding date is impending and the groom's a no-show. Back in the village, folks are becoming worried. He gets attacked and robbed and is taken to hospital where he remains unconscious for nearly a week. Mohan goes off to the city to buy jewellery for the wedding. Mohan and Manu are childhood sweethearts.
