The Randhawas are a wealthy Punjabi family who run a successful confectionery business named Dhanlakshmi Sweets, led by the authoritative matriarch, Dhanlakshmi Randhawa. Her husband, Kanwal Randhawa, uses a wheelchair and suffers from memory loss following an accident. Their son, Tijori, mirrors Dhanlakshmi’s controlling nature and dominates the household alongside her. Tijori's family includes his submissive wife Punam and their children, Rocky and Gayatri.

One day, Kanwal mistakenly kisses a stranger, believing her to be a woman named Jamini. Concerned for his grandfather, Rocky investigates and discovers an old photograph of Jamini. His search leads him to Jamini's granddaughter Rani Chatterjee, a well-known Bengali television news anchor. Rani hails from an intellectual family—her mother Anjali is an English professor and her father Chandon is a Kathak dancer.

Rocky and Rani arrange a meeting between Kanwal and Jamini, who are revealed to have shared a brief extramarital affair in 1978. Rekindling their bond, Kanwal and Jamini's interactions bring Rocky and Rani closer, and the two begin a relationship. Although Rocky proposes, Rani initially dismisses it as a temporary fling but later realises her love for him.

Due to the cultural differences between their families, Rocky and Rani decide to live with each other's households for three months to better understand their backgrounds. Rani encourages the women in the Randhawa family to assert their independence, drawing the ire of Dhanlakshmi and Tijori. Meanwhile, Rocky faces ridicule from the Chatterjees for his limited education and patriarchal attitudes, but gradually begins to change. He later apologises for his earlier behavior while calling them out for the ridicule and joins Chandon’s dance classes to better appreciate his perspective.

During Durga Puja celebrations, Rocky and Chandon perform together, upsetting Tijori. The resulting confrontation leads Rani to push Tijori in anger, causing a rift between her and Rocky. Back home, when Tijori attempts to strike Punam, Rocky intervenes and stands up to him for the first time. As he is about to leave the household with Punam and Gayatri, the shock causes Kanwal to briefly regain clarity and recognize his son before dying.

Months later, Tijori visits the Chatterjee home to apologise. Rocky and Rani reunite and get married. Though Dhanlakshmi does not attend the wedding, she sends Rani the secret family recipe, symbolically accepting her into the family.
