Anandi is a eight year old young girl. She is a bright student at her school. One day when Anandi was walking along with her friends the village boys try to play with the girls and hold a rope on their way. But a man who passes by that same way falls and his dress becomes mud.
Anandi who sees this scolds the boys and helps him to get up. The man gets impressed by this girl.
The man is Bharau Singh. He has come seeking alliance to his son. He visits Jan Singh's house who is none other than the father of Anandi.
Bharau Singh and Jan Singh fix the marriage of Anandi with Jagadish Bharau Singh's son.
Anandi also falls in the mud and makes herself to look shabby. She returns to house and finds the same man in her house. She childishly tells their parents that she already has met this man. The boys were playing naughty with this man and that she had scolded them.
The teacher of Anandi does not like child marriage. When the arrangements of Anandi and Jagadish is under way teacher brings in the police to stop the marriage.
The police take bribe from bride's father and allow the marriage to happen. The police turns against the teacher itself.
Anandi has to go into the new house and has to adjust to the new relationships. Her husband boy plays all types of naughty with his wife. The boy tells his grandmother to chase away the girl to her parents home. The old lady tells him that he has live life long with her and she cannot be chased away.
When everyone sits around the table for lunch Anandi had to look on. She is not allowed to eat until they finish. Just to make Anandi to wait a little more Jagadish eats slowly and eats more. Anandi boils inside. As soon as he leaves she sits happily to eat. The old lady tells her to eat from the plate of her husband Jagadish. Its only Sumitra who is supportive to her. She consoles her and tells her that it is a custom to eat in husband's plate. So Anandi crying takes some food and eats and starts crying. She is consoled by Sumitra.
Anandi, Jagadish and their friend Suguna go to a temple. Jagadish to tease her tells her to keep her eye closed so that Lord Shiva appears before him.
Suguna meets her lover Pratap and keeps talking with him. Jagadish thinks of hitting Anandi as she passes by with a stone and break her head but then sees her seeing him with gazing eyes and throws down the stone with frustration.
