Plot
Shekhar Sinha, his wife Sandhya, and their son Jai are one of the many Hindu Indo-Mauritian families living in Mauritius. Jai ventures out to Stockholm, Sweden, to obtain an education in culinary studies and incidentally meets Sophie Besson, a Roman Catholic Franco-Mauritian. They start meeting regularly and soon fall in love. Jai is introduced to Sophie's parents, Norman and Claire Besson. Norman (a large landowner in Mauritius) instantly disapproves of him (because of his ethnicity). Jai feels his father and mother would approve of Sophie. Unfortunately, Sandhya disapproves of her (because of her Catholic faith) and tells Jai to end his relationship with her. The lovers plan to elope, but Jai fails to turn up on the stipulated wedding time in church. Sophie reluctantly returns to her parents to marry the boy of their choice (Gordon). By this time Jai is engaged to Gayatri Pandey to fulfill his mother's wish (who has asthma). Sophie wants to know why Jai did not turn up. Meanwhile, Gayatri learns of Jai and Sophie's love and comes up with a ruse of Sophie's false pregnancy that forces Sophie and Jai's family to accept them as a couple. The film ends with Gayatri leaving Mauritius.
