Plot[edit | edit source]

Tiwari, a farmer from eastern Uttar Pradesh lives in a village with his two nephews Omkar and Chandan. He falls ill and is treated by a Vaidya (indigenous medical practitioner) from another village across river. When the farmer feels okay, he asks the Vaidya about his fees. The Vaidya who is a father of two daughters, asks for the farmer's elder nephew, Omkar, to marry his elder daughter, Roopa. The farmer readily agrees. Omkar has a younger brother Chandan and Roopa has a younger sister Gunja.

The marriage takes place and Omkar's house is filled with joy and happiness with Roopa's arrival. Chandan and Gunja are seen bickering and teasing each other all the time. Soon, Roopa gets pregnant and gives birth to a baby boy. Since there is no other female in the house, Roopa asks Omkar to call Gunja for some time to support her in household chores. Everyone agrees happily and Chandan visits his sister-in-law's village to bring Gunja home. During this journey, both of them sing happy songs and become friends. There is some liking which starts brewing between them. Gunja bonds with everyone in the family and takes up all the responsibilities of the house. Chandan and Gunja eventually begin to fall in love.

After a few months, Gunja leaves for her home with a heavy heart. Chandan keeps coming up with excuses to go and meet her. However, Gunja takes a promise from Chandan to only come to her as her groom. While visiting her parents a couple of months later, Roopa learns about their love. She promises to talk to everyone at home and arrange their marriage alliance. Unfortunately, she dies in an accident while she is still at her parents' house, and never gets the chance to tell everyone.

Time passes and Omkar's life drives into despair and sadness without Roopa. In order to bring happiness back into his life and a mother for his child, his uncle and Roopa's father suggest to marry Gunja to Omkar. Chandan is unable to tell anyone about his love for Gunja and remains silent for his brother's life. Gunja confusingly thinks her father has arranged her wedding with Chandan and gets extremely happy. Things take a different turn when she sees her brother-in-law Omkar dressed up as the groom on the wedding day. She believes that Chandan cheated her and agrees to marry Omkar for her father's reputation. Despite trying to control emotions, she faints during the wedding rituals. Chandan tries to explain his situation to Gunja in private. He makes her understand that he decided to sacrifice his love for his love for his brother. He tells her that he thought that Gunja would trust him and support him in this decision. Gunja starts to think highly of Chandan after hearing all this and assures him that she will support his decision now. Right then, Omkar enters the room, having heard this entire conversation. He disapproves this huge sacrifice of theirs and informs their families of their love. Gunja and Chandan get married with their families' blessing.

The Vaidya asks for the farmer's eldest nephew to marry his eldest daughter. The farmer readily agrees.
+Tiwari, a farmer from eastern Uttar Pradesh lives in a village with his two nephews Omkar and Chandan. He falls ill and is treated by a [[Vaidya]] (indigenous medical practitioner) from another village across river. When the farmer feels okay, he asks the Vaidya about his fees. The Vaidya who is a father of two daughters, asks for the farmer's elder nephew, Omkar, to marry his elder daughter, Roopa. The farmer readily agrees. Omkar has a younger brother Chandan and Roopa has a younger sister Gunja.
-Omkar marries the Vaidya's elder daughter Roopa, and they start living happily. Roopa gives birth to a baby. During Roopa's pregnancy, her younger sister Gunja comes to live with her. While there, she falls in love with Omkar's younger brother Chandan.
+The marriage takes place and Omkar's house is filled with joy and happiness with Roopa's arrival. Chandan and Gunja are seen bickering and teasing each other all the time. Soon, Roopa gets pregnant and gives birth to a baby boy. Since there is no other female in the house, Roopa asks Omkar to call Gunja for some time to support her in household chores. Everyone agrees happily and Chandan visits his sister-in-law's village to bring Gunja home. During this journey, both of them sing happy songs and become friends. There is some liking which starts brewing between them. Gunja bonds with everyone in the family and takes up all the responsibilities of the house. Chandan and Gunja eventually begin to fall in love.
-Learning of their love, Roopa promises to help them marry. But, she dies in an accident; and nobody else knows about the love affair. The farmer and the Vaidya decide that Gunja should marry the widower Omkar, to take care of her sister's baby. But moments before the wedding rituals are completed, Chandan and Gunja's love affair is revealed. He is allowed to marry Gunja with everyone's consent.
+After a few months, Gunja leaves for her home with a heavy heart. Chandan keeps coming up with excuses to go and meet her. However, Gunja takes a promise from Chandan to only come to her as her groom. While visiting her parents a couple of months later, Roopa learns about their love. She promises to talk to everyone at home and arrange their marriage alliance. Unfortunately, she dies in an accident while she is still at her parents' house, and never gets the chance to tell everyone.
-The rural culture and languages of Uttar Pradesh are portrayed authentically in the film. The movie is based on the first half of the novel. It changes the partners in the second marriage, as the novel had the proposed marriage between Gunja and Omkar taking place. The novel proceeded with the development of their relationship, where Omkar dies of illness and eventually Gunja also dies leaving Chandan alone.
+Time passes and Omkar's life drives into despair and sadness without Roopa. In order to bring happiness back into his life and a mother for his child, his uncle and Roopa's father suggest to marry Gunja to Omkar. Chandan is unable to tell anyone about his love for Gunja and remains silent for his brother's life. Gunja confusingly thinks her father has arranged her wedding with Chandan and gets extremely happy. Things take a different turn when she sees her brother-in-law Omkar dressed up as the groom on the wedding day. She believes that Chandan cheated her and agrees to marry Omkar for her father's reputation. Despite trying to control emotions, she faints during the wedding rituals. Chandan tries to explain his situation to Gunja in private. He makes her understand that he decided to sacrifice his love for his love for his brother. He tells her that he thought that Gunja would trust him and support him in this decision. Gunja starts to think highly of Chandan after hearing all this and assures him that she will support his decision now. Right then, Omkar enters the room, having heard this entire conversation. He disapproves this huge sacrifice of theirs and informs their families of their love. Gunja and Chandan get married with their families' blessing.
-Most of the film was shot at [[Kerakat]], [[Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh]].
