Plot

Mukund (Kandya), a vegetable vendor, supplied vegetables to a hotel owned by Anna and her seven daughters. Annapurna (Purna), the eldest daughter, received a proposal from Chandya, but she wasn't interested. In that moment, with Kandya present, she expressed her preference for marrying him. Purna admired Kandya for his hard work in earning his meals, unlike Chandya, who she believed had it without putting in much effort. Kandya eventually agrees to Purna's proposal after appreciating her cooking skills and her insistence on completing her tasks before leaving with him. Although Purna accepts, thinking she will be taking care of only him, she is surprised upon reaching his home to find that he has six brothers – Batatya, Tambya, Harbharya, Dodkya, Kobya, and Chinglya – all living untidy lives. Feeling manipulated, Purna accuses Kandya, who acknowledges his need for her help due to the challenges of rural living. After a heated exchange, Kandya plans to sleep outside to save face with his brothers, but Purna allows him back inside after he attempts to sleep in a tree. The next day, Purna teaches Kandya and his brothers cleanliness and proper manners. Discovering that the brothers are unmarried and lack communication skills with women, Purna guides them to change their ways. Despite initial challenges, they learn from Milly's example. At a social gathering, the brothers meet six girls who catch their interest, leading to a brawl with suitors. Expelled from town, they pine for the women they fell in love with. As winter arrives, Purna, upset by the brothers' actions, forces them to live in the barn while the women stay in the house. Kandya leaves for a trapping cabin, and during winter, the women soften towards marriage. In spring, Purna announces she is having Kandya's baby, leading to everyone coming together to help. After the snow melts in Echo Pass, Kandya returns, and the townspeople worry about the missing women. Realizing the couples are unwilling to part, Purna encourages the brothers to marry the women, concluding their unique journey.
