Aman Tripathi is an advertiser who comes from an orthodox middle-class family, comprising his father, Shankar Tripathi, a conservative agricultural scientist who had invented black cauliflowers, for which he is facing constant ridicule and boycott from farmers, his mother, Sunaina Tripathi, a calm housewife who is always concerned about her son, his uncle Chaman and aunt Champa, and their daughter, Rajni "Goggle" Tripathi and a few more relatives.

Aman is in love with Kartik Singh, his long time job partner and friend. One day, Sunaina asks Aman to attend Goggle's wedding. Aman says that he can come only if he gets leave. Sunaina and Shankar intend to marry Aman off to a family friend's daughter, Kusum Nigam, who is besotted with Aman. During this time, Aman and Kartik help the latter's friend, Vedika, run away from home, and after giving her father and his neighbours a wild goose chase, they initially argue but decide to go to Allahabad together. They later find out that the train they caught is the one Aman's family boarded, and reunite. Sometime after changing their attire, Aman and Kartik share a kiss as the train passes through a tunnel, but are caught shamefacedly by Shankar, who ends up vomiting at the sight of his son kissing a man, and falls uncoscious.

Later, the train halts for long at one of the stations due to ongoing protests along the railway lines ahead, when Kartik suggests to Aman about talking his father on. Sunaina summons a doctor to check Shankar up, but a heated argument ensues between her and Champa. Shankar recovers and recalls the incident but keeps it a secret. When he sees him coming, Shankar aims a water hose at Aman that drenches him. He embraces him up and asks him to stay away from Kartik. At the wedding, Shankar continuously eyes off Aman and Kartik, and has a funny confronttation with the latter, but in a few moments, Kartik and Aman share a kiss instead, leaving everyone awestruck and helpless. Kartik is then whsiked away by Chaman to the railway station, while Shankar blackmails Aman into agreeing to marry Kusum; meanwhile, Ashok refuses to marry Goggle, who escapes with her horse to the railway station. She tries to commit suicide but Kartik stops her, and they both decide to return home in hopes of winning Aman's respect back.

Returning home, Shankar presuades Sunaina to rechristen Aman with a new name in order to cleanse him of his "sins", but Goggle soon returns, with Kartik reappearing in the Tripathi household. However, Shankar beats him up with a stick. Kartik falls down and is unconscious. Unable to see this, Aman locks himself up in his room and agrees to marry Kusum under pressure from Shankar, asking the Tripathis not to harm Kartik in return. His family is happy and starts the wedding preparations. Kartik wakes up and finds out about the wedding, trying to convince Aman to avert this mishap. Aman is unable to defy his family, but Kartik then declares that he will leave as soon as the wedding ends. Kusum steals all of Sunaina's jewellery and escapes, leaving behind a letter in Aman's room. Kartik gets his bag to leave and notices the letter. He reads the note and, delighted, pretends to be the bride. Shankar suspects something is wrong, and inadvertantly chases the "bride", when Kartik suddenly reveals himself to everyone's surprise. Goggle hands over Kusum's note to Sunaina, sending everyone into a shock. Aman confesses his love for Kartik, but the priest refuses to proceed, considering it "unnatural".
