In a world where family expectations outweigh personal desires, tradition isn't simply a guide—it's an ironclad rule.
Madhav is a man with an engineering job that pays rather well. He also has a family that consists of a mother who doesn’t understand why it is so wrong to demand dowry for her son when she paid out a generous dowry for her daughter; a father who feels so obligated to his beautiful wife for consenting to marry him, he will not deny her; a grandfather whose wacky schemes occupy his own time and Madhav’s; and a grandmother whose caustic tongue hides a kind heart.
Traditionally, as the eldest son, Madhav must marry a woman who will perform his ancestors’ afterlife rituals—a responsibility he’s ready to shoulder. Yet, when it comes to selecting a bride, he'd rather deviate from tradition and choose his own partner—an idea his parents are not willing to accept.
