Mithilesh Shukla (Rajpal Yadav) is a librarian at the University of Lucknow. He is also a 34-year-old bachelor, who until this point in his life has successfully avoided marriage, despite all the pressures his family puts on him otherwise. He finally cracks when his uncle (who is a lawyer) and his over emotional mother find him the ''ideal proposal'' and force him to go to Bareli to meet Veena (Rituparna Sengupta).
Veena leaves Mithilesh speechless. She is naturally charming, intelligent, naughty yet innocent, and last but not in the least, very beautiful. All these factors combined with his ordinary looks, leave Mithilesh with a strong fear of rejection. As the turmoil builds within him, he is bowled over to learn that not only has Veena accepted his family's proposal but she actually wants to marry him. Helplessly succumbing to this act of God, Cupid, fate or whatever has made this possible, Mithilesh decides to go ahead with the marriage.
