Piya Ka Ghar (1972)

In a quaint small town in India, Malti Shankar resides in a spacious house with her parents, her upbringing shaped by her paternal uncle, Gauri Shankar, who lives just next door. As tradition dictates, her marriage is being arranged with Ram G. Sharma, a young man residing in the bustling city of Bombay with his family. The Sharma family is described as well-reputed, based in a grand building named "Bharat Mahal" near the seashore, their roots tracing back to the neighboring town of Bayana. The air is charged with anticipation as the wedding party descends, the bride and groom giving their mutual approval and embarking on their shared journey of matrimony. Malti relocates to Ram's house only to face a reality strikingly different from the one painted by the matrimonial matchmaker. Far from the seashore, tucked away in a crammed corner of the city, Ram's house is a humble shanty, its limited space divided precariously into living quarters and a kitchen that now doubles as her bedroom. Accustomed to a life of comfort and space, Malti is thrust into this world of chaos, noise, and an alarming lack of privacy. The question that lingers is whether this overcrowded, obscure existence will shape her destiny. And what will the reaction be of Gauri Shankar, the man who raised her, when he uncovers the stark truth of the Sharma family's living conditions? Embark on a journey of discovery, tradition, and adaptation as Malti navigates her new life in 'Piya Ka Ghar'.
