In 2001, in the fictional Nirmal Pradesh, Deepak, a farmer, is travelling back to his village with his new bride, Phool Kumari. They get into a crowded passenger train along with many other newlywed couples. The brides all wear the same-coloured bridal attire with their faces completely covered with a ghoonghat (veil), as is the tradition. Deepak dozes off and wakes up in the night to realise that he has arrived at his destination. In the darkness and confusion from the rush to leave, he disembarks with the wrong bride and Phool is left behind on the train with the other groom, Pradeep.
The couple is welcomed by his family only to be shocked when they realise it is the wrong bride. She gives them a false name Pushpa and lies about where she is from. Meanwhile, at a different station, Phool realises the mixup but the station master is unable to help her due to her not knowing the name of Deepak's village. She also refuses to go back home, not wanting to bring shame to her family. She decides to stay at the station in case Deepak comes looking, and is helped by Manju Mai, who runs a tea stall on the platform.
