Balu is told that, in order to write his exam, he has to bring his father to the college. He goes home and tells his parents a completely different story. While his parents keep thinking that he is studying for his exam he is busy daydreaming about Swapna and looking for her. At last he brings his father to the college, not to write the exam but to see Swapna! His father is clueless what is happening and still believes Balu.
Balu meets Swapna and her parents. Swapna's parents arrange another marriage for her. When Balu's father comes to know what is actually happening he thinks his child should be dealt with love rather than fear. When going away on a train he gets killed accidentally on the train.
