Plot
Rani loves Jani, but her brother Raju opposes their union. Having borrowed money from Chaudhary Lachhu, a wealthy zamindar in a neighboring village, Raju hatches a plan to marry Rani to him in repayment. Lachhu had already fallen for Rani after seeing her at a fair, and Raju took advantage of this. During the wedding ceremony, Rani's best friend Lachhi stood in for her and took the seven steps around the fire, saat phere, completely veiled by her ghunghat, and no one noticed the switch. After the ceremony, Rani and Lachhi moved to Lachhu's house and take over their original positions. However, Rani feigns illness to avoid any intimate relations with him. Eventually, Lachhu gets tired of her tactics and discovered the truth behind her behavior. Feeling sympathetic towards the young lovers, he decided to rectify the situation and arranged for Rani to marry Jani instead.
