Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
After an arranged marriage, the bride goes to live with her husband's family. She is a girl with some modern ideas, and resents the whole thing. Before too long, she and her husband's stepmother begin quarrelling. The battles for dominance that go on in the women's quarters of a large Indian household provide part of the humor in this film. Despite her distaste for her marriage, she gradually finds that her husband is an unusually good man. When her former lover comes to take her away from the household, she discovers that she has a real choice to make.
