Kesar centers around Kesar, a young girl from rural Punjab. Kesar is an innocent, fun-loving girl who is the darling of her family. Her family consists of her grandfather Kuljeet, her parents Parmeet and Teji, her younger brother Shammi, her widowed sister-in –law Vidya and Vidya’s children.

The story opens with Kesar and her family waiting for their close friends from Mumbai to arrive and celebrate Lohri with them. These friends are Dharam Mallyaa childhood friend of Kuljeet, his wife Saroj, Dharam's secretary Happy Singh, Happy's wife Shanti and Jaswant and their son.

Dharam arrives with an agenda. During the visit Dharam asks Kuljeet, Parmeet and Teji if they would agree to marry Kesar to his grandson Rudr. Rudr, a city slicker comes to Ambala with his PA Abhi to meet Kesar and her family. Kesar and Rudr take to each other and Kesar goes to her brother, niece and nephew to meet the Mallyas in Mumbai. Though she is radically different from the sophisticated Mallyas, she does not fit into their lifestyle.

Despite being from a small town, a mentally emancipated Kesar makes the lofty decision to leave her adulterous husband and refuses to adhere to the society norms that expect her to put on a pedestal a husband who does not deserve to be revered.

This is the question Kesar raises and refuses to confine to the predefined rules of existence.
