At a lavish wedding party, Jaya meets and falls in love with Balraj Bingley, a charming NRI (non-resident Indian) from London. Balraj is accompanied by his friend William Darcy, a handsome but arrogant American hotel tycoon. Darcy clashes with Lalita, the second daughter, who is outspoken and independent. She dislikes his snobbish attitude and his prejudice against India.
The Bakshis are invited to Goa by the Bingleys, where Lalita meets Johnny Wickham, a friendly and charming British soldier. She is attracted to him and invites him to visit her family in Amritsar. However, Darcy warns her that Wickham is not trustworthy and has a shady past.
Meanwhile, Manorama tries to arrange a marriage between Lalita and Mr. Kohli, a nerdy and obnoxious NRI from Los Angeles. Lalita rejects him and he ends up marrying Chandra Lamba, a friend of the Bakshis.
Lalita is heartbroken when she learns that Balraj has returned to London without proposing to Jaya. She blames Darcy for influencing him and breaking her sister's heart. She also discovers that Wickham has eloped with Lakhi, the youngest daughter, who is naive and rebellious.
The Bakshis travel to California to attend Kohli's wedding, with a stopover in London to meet Balraj. However, they find out that he is not available and has gone to New York. They also encounter Darcy again, who confesses his love for Lalita and proposes to her. She rejects him angrily, accusing him of ruining her sister's happiness and supporting Wickham's betrayal.
Lalita later learns the truth from Darcy's sister Georgiana: Darcy had nothing to do with Balraj's decision; he actually tried to persuade him to propose to Jaya. He also reveals that Wickham had seduced Georgiana when she was 15 and tried to elope with her for her money. He then abandoned her when Darcy intervened. Darcy also tells Lalita that he has found Wickham and Lakhi in Los Angeles and has arranged their marriage.
Lalita realizes that she has misjudged Darcy and that she loves him too. She apologizes to him and accepts his proposal. Balraj also reunites with Jaya and proposes to her. The film ends with a double wedding of Lalita and Darcy, and Jaya and Balraj, in Amritsar.
