Plot

Raj Singh Puri is best friends with L.K. Malhotra, who is the younger brother of J.K. Malhotra. The brothers are business tycoons and Raj works in their company.

Raj has three daughters. Their mother, Shalini Singh Puri, died in an accident while shopping. The eldest daughter, Avantika, gets married through an arrangement. The second one, Sania, marries her lover, even though Raj said the family will not fit with their lifestyle and how they're brought up. The youngest, Isha, doesn't believe in love. After a few weeks at her in-laws, the second daughter, Sania, returns home asking for a divorce. After this, Raj becomes strictly against love and relationships.

All this changes when Isha falls in love with the heir to the Malhotra empire, Ronit; L.K. Malhotra's son. They ask for Raj's blessings, but he bluntly refuses them. Isha, understandingly, shuns her relationship with Ronit. Raj arranges for Ronit to be married to the daughter of another tycoon. Isha agrees and makes him a promise that she will not do anything and would listen to her parents, but deep down she still has strong feelings for him. Ronit is unhappy, but goes along with the promise and makes Raj realize that his fiancée's family is not right for him. Raj approaches the Malhotras to break off the engagement, but J.K. Malhotra shuns him by calling him inferior. The other Malhotras join forces to make J.K. realize his mistake and Ronit is finally married to Isha. At the end of the movie, Raj is still living in his farmhouse with his daughters, their husbands, and a granddaughter.
