Plot

While on a trip to Nainital, Geeta (Waheeda Rehman) meets Madan (Kamaljit) and falls in love with him. Madan is from Delhi and his father is a wealthy man. His mother played by Achla Sachdev is a superstitious woman who constantly gets poojas performed by pandits. Madan expresses his desire to marry Geeta and his parents agree to his request. But the family pandit studies Geeta's horoscope and reveals that she is a manglik and hence inauspicious. Being a manglik or having Mangal Dosha is considered unfortunate as per Indian astrology.

gollark: Yes, that is why I said yet.
gollark: It's a shame, really.
gollark: I'm not saying that, just that we can't yet set up test societies and do randomized controlled trials.
gollark: > I would agree that knowledge passed down from generations is good, but with one major condition. [...]Science doesn't "prove" things and social things are VERY HARD to test.
