== Synopsis ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a sober but adamant young girl orphaned by fate who lives in a slum with her maternal uncle, Damodar ([[Gammat Jammat|Suhas Bhalekar]]), a bachelor. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl receives only one chance to change her name and financial conditions and that is after her marriage. Damodar is a domestic worker for Mr. Lakshmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]), a renowned industrialist whose only son, Narendra ([[Sachin Pilgaonkar]]), also known as Naren, has just returned from abroad after completing his studies. At a party thrown by Mr. Kuber for his son's homecoming, Shaku accompanies Damodar for help in the chores when Naren shares his views on marriage with his friends. His only condition is that he will marry a young widow, which is overheard by Shaku. With the help of Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), a theatre costume lender and Damodar's friend, Shaku poses as "Saudamini", a young widow, and creates a sequence of events wherein she succeeds in entering the Kuber residence.

Using her theatrical antics, she soon wins over the hearts of Naren and his mother, Mrs. Kuber ([[Gol Maal|Shubha Khote]]), who ask her to stay in the house for a more duration. As days go by, Naren falls in love with Shaku but Mr. Kuber asks for the photograph of Saudamini's late husband. Again with the help of Tatya Malvankar, Shaku shows the Kubers the photograph of an aspiring theatre actor dressed in a military uniform and as that of her late husband, "Captain Bajirao Rangade", provoking Mr. Kuber to finally agree for Naren and Shaku's marriage. The aspiring theatre actor in the photograph is Dinkar Luktuke ([[Ashok Saraf]]), a clerk working for Mr. Kuber's childhood friend, Mr. Gajanan Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), while secretly in love with his only daughter, Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]). Mr. Kuber had previously asked Mr. Deshmukh for Hema's hand in marriage for Naren. One day, when Mr. Kuber visits Mr. Deshmukh at his office, he suddenly bumps into Luktuke and identifies him from the photograph of Saudamini's so-called late husband, Captain Bajirao Rangade.

[[Sachin Pilgaonkar]] remade the film in [[Kannada language|Kannada]] in 2007 as ''[[Ekadantha]]''. The plot of the film is based on ''[[Bombay to Goa]]'' (1972), which itself was a remake of [[Tamil language|Tamil]] film ''Madras to Pondicherry'' (1966).<ref>http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/the-remake-saga/1073397/1</ref>

==Plot==
Vakratund ([[Sachin Pilgaonkar]]), also known as Vacky, and Bhakti ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) are a childless couple having got married against Bhakti's parents' wishes. Vacky is a talented artist but has not achieved commercial success despite 10 years of marriage. Soon, Bhakti learns from Vacky's paternal aunt, Atya ([[Nirmiti Sawant]]), that Vacky's parents had made a vow to Lord Ganesha after the loss of their three newborn children that they will bring their son to the [[temple]] of Ganapatipule "unclothed" if he is born healthy. However, the vow was left unfulfilled as Vacky's parents died young out of ecstacy of finally being blessed with a healthy son. Shocked at learning this, Bhakti persuades Vacky to fulfill the vow but he soberly disagrees to comply with her wishes for the task being next to impossible. In an attempt of overcome Bhakti's insistence, Vacky and his childhood friend, Kishore ([[Atul Parchure]]), hire a small-time television actor (Satish Tare) to act as powerful sage "Ughade Baba" in front of Bhakti. Ughade Baba instructs Vacky and Bhakti to take a mannequin dressed as Vacky to the temple of Ganapatipule unclothed via [[Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation|state transport]] bus to fulfill the vow and enable themselves to enter parenthood.

On the previous night of Vacky and Bhakti's travel to Ganapatipule, Vacky and Kishore succeed in sneaking such a mannequin at a bus depot into a state transport bus under the backseat. However, they are unaware that after their departure from the bus that night, an unseen international smuggler, Babu Kaalia, who has escaped from prison and has stolen [[diamond]]s worth [[Indian rupee|₹]]80 [[crore]] from the [[Government of India]], had entered the bus and hidden a bag filled with the diamonds in a hollow of the mannequin. The remaining plot of the film focuses on hilarious situations and the highs and lows that Vacky and Bhakti face while travelling to Ganapatipule from the bus. The bus journey is adventurous with the passengers, a totally mixed bunch, from all over [[Maharashtra]], different lives, personalities, cultures and traditions, are all thrown together for this journey. The bus is in the "control" of bus conductor Lalu ([[Ashok Saraf]]) and bus driver Prasad (Sunil Tawde). En route, Lalu meets [[lavani]] dancer Shevanta ([[Kishori Shahane]]) during a technical problem regarding the bus and falls in love with her when she helps him solve his financial problems.

After the resumption of the journey, however, Lalu is horrified to accidentally see the mannequin under the backseat and creates havoc believing it to be a dead body. Despite this, Vacky and Bhakti together manage to convince Lalu and Prasad and the bus passengers that it is a mannequin and not a dead body and its significance for being secretly taken from the bus to Ganapatipule. Nevertheless, on finally reaching Ganapatipule, the group is shocked to be confronted by the police, who have an evidence that Babu Kaalia is travelling from the bus in disguise to escape to [[Dubai]] from the port of Ganapatipule with the diamonds stolen by him. At the same time, a mute passenger ([[Vijay Patkar]]) in the bus is revealed to be actually feigning his speech impairment for being an undercover [[inspector]] sent by the Mumbai police to identify Babu Kaalia. Throughout the journey, Vacky has been sketching a portrait of Babu Kaalia with the help of another bus passenger (Jaywant Wadkar) having encountered Babu Kaalia earlier. As soon as Vacky completes the portrait, Babu Kaalia (Pradeep Patwardhan) reveals his true identity and holds the entire bus and the police at gunpoint with the demand for the mannequin wherein the diamonds stolen by him are hidden.

At this point, Vacky confesses to Bhakti that the Ughade Baba whom she had met earlier was fake and that he had planned the drama with Kishore in order to avoid fulfilling the bizarre vow. However, Bhakti requests Vacky to take the mannequin to the temple out of her faith and devotion towards their union and Lord Ganesha. Vacky thus escapes from the bus with the mannequin and runs towards to the temple while being pursued by the gang of Babu Kaalia, the police and the bus passengers. During the persuasion, all the clothes of Vacky are torn off by the pursuers and is only left in his undergarment by the time he reaches the temple with the mannequin and locks himself inside it. In the temple, Vacky's undergarment also tears off after being entangled with the door bolt and is delighted to realise that Lord Ganesha himself has indeed fulfilled the vow by making him appear before Him unclothed. While Babu Kaalia and his gang are arrested by the police for their crimes, Vacky exits the temple in the duplicate clothes of a priest and returns the diamonds in the mannequin that were stolen by Babu Kaalia to the police. In the end, Vacky and Bhakti are rewarded with ₹8 crore by the Government of India for nabbing Babu Kaalia and live happily thereafter.
