Amrit Manthan is the unusual story of two sisters, Amrit and Nimrit, whose relationship sours in the wake of circumstances. Based in the town of Amritgarh (Punjab), they are the daughters of an erstwhile royal dynasty, which is facing financial ruin. Amrit is beautiful and arrogant, while Nimrit is shy and sensitive. Amrit falls in love with a wealthy commoner, Agam Malik, and agrees to get married to him. But, on the day of the wedding, Agam turns the tables on her and forces Nimrit to get married to him. This is to revenge a great wrong that Amrit had committed against him many years ago.
