Story
Meena was walking on the street when she saw a man coming out of a bus. The man was holding a radio with him. He was wearing a colorful shirt. The local children were laughing at him and started to follow him. The man's father was also present there who scolded the children and sent them away. The next day Meena went to visit Tara who was sad because her father is arranging her marriage as she is 18. Meena looked through the window and saw that the groom is the same "funny" man. Tara has no desire to marry him because they are demanding a huge amount of money from her parents. (They asked for a bicycle and 20,000 Rupees) Tara's family cannot afford this much money.

After returning home, Meena and Mithu told their parents and grandmother what they heard. Raju declared that when he will work and marry, he will never ask for a dowry. Meena also said that she doesn't want her parents to give dowry when she grows up. Meena's mother said that is everyone refuses to take and give dowry then the society can change.

Mithu was joining them and saying "Say 'no' to dowry!". This gave Meena a naughty idea of sending this message using Mithu. He flew to the shopkeeper's house and repeated the sentence. But the man, along with his father and his uncle, the shopkeeper, laughed at Mithu and neglected him. They continued their conversation. They didn't realize that Mithu heard everything and also remembered everything.

After Mithu went back to their yard, Meena asked what he heard there. Mithu said, "Bicycle now, motorbike later.". They understood that Tara's family is in danger. The bridegroom's party will turn their family into bankrupt. Meena, Raju and Mithu rushed to Tara's house to inform them. After hearing everything, Tara's parents decided to refuse to the groom's family. They informed the chief of the village about it to make the other families alert of these greedy people. The next day, Tara's father refused the marriage proposal to the groom. They thought of checking all other houses for a bride.

From then, wherever they go, everyone shuts the doors and windows of their homes. They finally thought of decreasing the amount of money from Tara's family. When they went back to Tara's house, Tara, Meena and Raju yelled "Say 'no' to dowry!" together and shut the door.

At last, the groom decided to leave the village. While leaving, he took his radio and turned it on. He got shocked to hear that even the radio is playing a song "Say 'no' to dowry..." the man threw the radio angrily which got stuck to the branch of a tree, Mithu was dancing with the song.
