Synopsis

Shaku (Supriya Pilgaonkar) is a sober but stubborn young girl orphaned by fate who lives in a slum with her maternal uncle, Damodar (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. Laxmidhar 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, 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 friend of Damodar, Shaku poses as a young widow, Saudamini, and enters the Kuber residence. Using her theatrical antics, she soon wins over the hearts of Naren and his mother, Mrs. Kuber (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 Saudamini's late husband's photograph. Again with the help of Tatya Malvankar, Shaku shows him the photograph of a military officer and tells his name as Captain Bajirao Rangade.

Dinkar Luktuke (Ashok Saraf) is a clerk working for Mr. Kuber's childhood friend, Mr. Gajanan Deshmukh (Jairam Kulkarni), while secretly in love with Mr. Deshmukh's 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 bumps into Luktuke whom he recognises to be Saudamini's late husband, Captain Bajirao Rangade, in the photograph. A plan begins to take shape in Mr. Kuber's mind...!
