Ram lands a job in Canada as a software engineer and finds himself embedded among a group of sophisticated youngsters whose way of life and habits are totally alien to him. But due to his simplicity, frankness and benevolence, all his male and female colleagues soon develop a fondness for Ram. One of his friends, a vibrant girl, Geetha loves him dearly as a good friend and often makes him a subject of humour without ever hurting his feelings. This gradually develops into a strong bond and rapport between the two.
Though days and weeks pass by, Ram still feels that he does not belong to Canada as his roots are deeply anchored to his native State.
One day, Ram’s mother sends him the photograph of a girl whom he is proposed. On seeing the photo of the orthodox Brahmin girl, clad in traditional attire, all his friends endorse that she is the girl for him. Ram also gets convinced.
Ram leaves for home to finalise the marriage. On his invitation, his friends from Canada arrive a week earlier to witness the Brahmin marriage ritual, which is a seven-day long extravaganza.
Geetha, who has never even worn a traditional Indian dress is enchanted by the colourful ceremonies and gets so excited that she starts dressing up and involving in the rituals as if she were one of the members of the family.
All rituals and rites connected with a Brahmin wedding are designed and intended to build a bond between the bride and groom before marriage as well as to give them a chance to assess the level of compatibility between them. But, as if by a mischievous hand of destiny, the culmination of many rituals accidentally establish a bond , not between Ram and the bride, Jaya, instead between Ram and Geetha, who is totally engrossed in the proceedings. These bizarre developments occur day after day strengthening a strange relationship between the two. By the penultimate day, Ram and Geetha feel that they are inseparable. It is as if the rituals blew the lid off the keg of love and feelings they had unknowingly nurtured for each other.
The Ram’s mother comes to know of this and advises Geetha to treat the whole affair as a mere dream to avoid a catastrophe in the bride’s life. A heavy-hearted Geetha and her friends leave that evening itself.
Again, quite consistent with the unexpected events which have been unfolding earlier, the bride’s sister reveals a blissful truth that her sister Jaya adores another neighbourhood boy and would have expressed her wish to get off this wedlock but for her fear of retribution from her family.
On the seventh and final day of rituals, when the Chief Priest asks for Ram’s willingness to marry Jaya, he refuses justifying his decision by exposing the bride’s love for another man.
The story actually ends on a happy note here. But the frame dissolves to a scene back in Canada. Ram is helping Geetha in the kitchen while a baby lies in a cradle. Ram’s mother conveys her acceptance of Geetha and invites them home to get traditionally married. The story completes the full circle by flagging off the Brahmin wedding rituals all over again.
