In a compilation fusing Indian and Western styles, these women use skill, grace, and energy to express their journey through youthful love. In the opening instrumental segment, the girls complete their daily routines and adorn themselves in preparation for the men of their dreams. As reflected in the first piece, "Pardesia," the new men of the village steal the girls' hearts and leave them yearning to be noticed as they grow into captivating women through the middle sequence, "Chadthi Jawani." In a final traditional number, "Dumroo Baje," the women dance in celebration after winning the hearts of their newfound lovers.
