==Synopsis==
Radha (Smita Patil) and Ramu (Mithun Chakraborty) are siblings. Their parents Shyam (Satish Kaul) and Sita (Sarala Yeolekar) are singers. Once, Shyam and Sita go to perform in [[Jalpaiguri]] to get some money, since they are in a poor status and they have to pay a monthly rent. While performing in Jalpaiguri wearing sexy and revealing clothes, Sita catches the eye of a rich and powerful man called A.M. Singh (Amrish Puri). He stops them mid-way home, kills Shyam and rapes Sita. Radha and Ramu get the news that their parents are dead. The house proprietor banishes them and they become homeless. Years later, Radha and Ramu have achieved success and are popular singers now. Ramu falls in love with Janita (Mandakini) and Radha marries Resham (Shakti Kapoor), who is their troupe member. They all sing and perform together. However, Resham becomes different and strange. He comes to abuse Radha. When Ramu comes to know that, he tries to prevent him, but Radha does not allow him to do it. Radha finds out that she is pregnant. She comes to inform her husband and finds him with another woman in their bed. She reacts angrily and Resham beats her in such a cruel way, that she passes away in the hospital. Ramu loses all interest in life, and even Janita, his new stage partner and lover, is not able to immediately pull him out of depression. In the name of Radha she succeeds. On the way to Jalpaiguri, where the next concert is to take place, Janita is attacked by Mr. Singh's minion, but she is saved by Sita. Having arrived in Jalpaiguri, Ramu recognizes his mother, who tells him what happened many years ago. Ramu organizes a big concert which will be dedicated to his sister. There, Singh appears and attempts to kill Ramu, but Resham, consumed by guilt, saves him and gets shot. Singh attempts to kidnap Janita, but Ramu saves her just in time and takes revenge on Singh for his father's life and his mother's honor. Singh is arrested by the police.

The main melody of "Zooby Zooby" is inspired from the song "[[Brother Louie (Modern Talking song)|Brother Louie]]".<ref name="Sunday Guardian">{{Cite news |url=https://www.pressreader.com/india/the-sunday-guardian/20111023/282763468407760 |title=Talking modern with Brother |last=Kaur |first=Pawanpreet |date=23 October 2011 |work=[[The Sunday Guardian]] |access-date=27 November 2018}}</ref> The singer [[Alisha Chinai]] makes here one of her first [[Playback singer|playback singing]] steps in "[[Zubi Zubi|Zooby Zooby]]".
