Both fathers would like their respective children to meet each other and get married.

On reaching Rampur railway station, Jai, in the company of his friend, Pradeep, come across a man named Ravi, who tells them they are in the wrong village, and directs them to a mansion run by an eccentric owner, so that they can spend the night there, and then take the train back the next day.
