Plot

Madhukrisha (Utpal Das) is the youngest son of Hariprashanna (Nipon Goswami). His brothers Jaykrishna (Julen Bhuyan) and Gopikrisha (Biki), as well as Madhu himself are all unmarried. He passed MBA and went to West Bengal for job. Madhu sees a young Bengali woman named Mukta (Debasmita Benarjee) who is the daughter of a rich man (Mani C. Kappan). The two fall in love and elope.

Madhu is afraid of whether or not his parents would agree to their marriage, so he keeps Mukta undercover as a maid in his home. When Madhu goes away on business, his parents realise that Mukta is pregnant and decide to dismiss her from her job. When Madhu returns home, he is forced to reveal that Mukta is his wife. Madhu's mother, who likes Mukta, scolds him for keeping his wife as a servant – she and her husband express their willingness to accept Mukta as their daughter-in-law.
