Lalita is in her late teens, an orphan who lives with the family of her uncle Gurucharan. Gurucharan, though a principled man, is forced to take a loan from his neighbour Navin babu due to circumstances. The two neighbouring families share a very cordial relationship despite Navin’s money-minded ways. Shekhar, Navin’s younger son has a friendly relationship with Lalita. As time passes, Shekhar and Lalita try to understand the true nature of their feelings. Tensions erupt between Shekhar’s father and Lalita’s uncle on repayment of the old loan. The situation is further aggravated with the arrival of Gerinder babu, a flamboyant eligible bachelor who is attracted to Lalita.  Misunderstandings build themselves between Lalita and Shekhar. Much later, when Lalita visits her old place “lal kothi” one last time for the sale of Gurucharan’s house to Navin babu’s heirs, the story takes another unexpected turn.
