But after few days, he becomes frantic with the marriage proposals from local residents. Everyone including his office boss coaxes him to marry their aged daughters (a satirical take on the Indira Gandhi's administrative campaign on birth control set in the aftermath of the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War during which time many young men had been enlisted into the army, thereby causing a hypothetical increase in numbers of unmarried girls, who were seen a burden by their conservative families) population and numerous funny incidents start rolling. However, Sitesh falls for Neepa, a headstrong, smart girl who lives opposite to Sitesh's apartment, who also falls in love with him. In the meantime, to save his brother from the hands of crazy fathers, Sitesh starts a smear campaign against his brother.
