Plot

Babli, a spirited individual born into a prosperous family, went missing one night, prompting a collective search. In an inebriated state, she found herself outside the residence of her romantic interest, Tushar, expressing her desire for immediate marriage. However, Tushar, apprehensive about familial repercussions, did not appear the following morning. Subsequently, Babli severed contact with him and informed her family of her willingness to marry a suitor of their choosing.

Upon consulting the family astrologer, Aditya from Mumbai emerged as a prospective match, seeking a bride from a rural background. Both families expressed mutual interest, and arrangements were made for a meeting. The astrologer, however, foresaw potential obstacles, identifying not only Tushar but also Rajabhau—a seemingly idle individual with a penchant for a lavish lifestyle.

Despite the foreseen challenges, Babli and Aditya agreed to proceed with their marriage. Tushar attempted to reconcile with Babli through unidentified phone numbers, leading them to contemplate rekindling their relationship and eloping. Simultaneously, Rajabhau, unaware of Tushar's involvement, also reached out to Babli from an unknown number, believing her to be a companion of Tushar seeking his assistance in their elopement. This intricate web of misconceptions set the stage for a complex series of events in the lead-up to Babli and Aditya's impending union.
