Plot
Tara lives a modest life in Punjab with his father, a lighthearted and supportive figure. Tara falls in love with Mira, the daughter of Shingara Singh, a wealthy and politically powerful man known for his rigid views on social status and caste divisions. Shingara Singh is actively involved in a regional campaign to "purify" the culture and preserve traditional values, including opposing intercaste marriages.Tara and Mira begin seeing each other in secret, aware that Shingara Singh would never approve of their relationship due to Tara's lower social and economic standing. With the help of his friend Ranjit, Tara devises a plan to win Shingara’s approval: he disguises his background and pretends to be the son of an NRI businessman with strong political connections.
Initially, the plan works, and Shingara Singh considers Tara a suitable match for his daughter. However, as the façade begins to unravel, Tara finds himself in a moral conflict—torn between continuing the lie or coming clean to earn Mira’s love through honesty. Meanwhile, Mira starts sensing something is amiss and struggles with the realization that her love might be built on deception.
As tensions rise, Tara’s identity is exposed, leading to a dramatic confrontation with Shingara Singh. Mira must choose between her family’s expectations and her feelings for Tara. In the end, after witnessing Tara’s genuine character, honesty, and love for his daughter, Shingara Singh undergoes a change of heart and reluctantly gives the couple his blessing.
