Plot summary

Lafafi (Neena Cheema), along with her family comprising a drunkard father (Amarjit Grover), a sick mother (Daljit Kaur) and a disabled younger brother (Saurabh Shaili), makes her living by making and selling paper bags in the local market of a small sleepy town. With less than ordinary looks, she is a not only laughing stock for the shopkeepers with whom she has to deal but also is an easy target of their vulgar remarks and advances.

Chaman (Rajinder Kashyap), owner of a grocery shop, being a person with large heart by nature, helps Lafafi financially whenever she faces a crisis. This does not mean that he has a special consideration or soft corner for her. When Lafafi's drunk father is arrested, Lafafi seeks Chaman's help in getting him released from police custody. In some moments of weakness Chaman and Lafafi become physically involved.

The local doctor (Prem Kakaria) targets Chaman when he refuses to give him bribe. To avoid being arrested for malpractice, Chaman flees from the town and joins his friend Gora (Pramod Kalia), a small-time travel agent in a metropolitan city. Chaman joins Gora's profession and due to his daring nature and enterprise prospers fast as a travel agent, now known and called by all as C.L.

When Lafafi's parents come to know that she is pregnant, they try to get rid of her by marrying her to a retarded person. Lafafi also leaves the town and somehow reaches Chaman who blatantly refuses to accept her and her child. But Lafafi does not give in and continues to fight in her own way for her rightful place in Chaman' life and the society that had never been kind to her.
