==Synopsis==
Dhanaji Wakade is an arrogant and greedy industrialist. Seema and Gauri are his daughters and Laxmikant is his son. Mahesh Javalkar is an employee in his company. Gauri and Mahesh decide to marry but Dhanaji does not approve of his daughter marrying someone below his social status. Dhanaji's son Laxmikant is an aspiring film maker and desires to marry the daughter of Mr. Rede, who also is not as rich as Dhanaji.
A rich spoilt girl named Gauri ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Joshi Saraf]]) bumps into a young man named Mahesh Jawalkar ([[Mahesh Kothare]]) and both despise each other at first sight. Gauri's widower father Dhanaji Wakade ([[Sharad Talwalkar]]) is a haughty industrialist and also the employer of Mahesh, who is soon fired by Dhanaji due to his quarrel with Gauri. However, the high-esteemed Mahesh challenges Dhanaji and swears to marry his daughter. Later, Mahesh and Gauri fall in love but it will be difficult to convince her father for their marriage as Mahesh is from a poor family. Thus, Mahesh takes the help of his close friend Ashok Gupchup ([[Ashok Saraf]]) and makes him pose as his estranged father and a rich businessman so that Dhanaji approves his marriage. The haughty industrialist falls for the scheme while Ashok secretly has an attraction towards Dhanaji's second daughter Seema (Surekha Rane). Meanwhile, Dhanaji's son Laxmikant ([[Laxmikant Berde]]), also known as Lakshya, is an aspiring filmmaker and is not interested in the family business. He aspires to make a film with a village belle named Ambakka Rede (Prema Kiran), whom he loves and tries to convince his father for their marriage and also to finance his upcoming film. Eventually, Lakshya despises his own father and supports both Mahesh and Ashok in their tactics against Dhanaji. Now, Ashok, Mahesh and Lakshya will try all possible ways to impress Dhanaji to approve their marriages.
 
To overcome Dhanaji's resistance, Mahesh decides to take help of his friend Ashok. They decide that Ashok would disguise himself as a very rich old man and introduce himself to Dhanaji as Mahesh's father. They know that Dhanaji would be impressed by his show of wealth and allow his daughter to marry Mahesh. When disguised Ashok reaches Dhanaji's house he notices that Dhanaji is father of Seema. Ashok and Seema already know each other and desire to marry each other. Ashok discloses his identity to Seema. Mahesh discloses Ashok's identity to Gauri. Laxmikant, too, accidentally discovers Ashok's truth. Disguised Ashok tells Dhanaji that he wants to marry his elder daughter Seema. Dhanaji is so impressed by the (claimed) wealth of disguised Ashok that he agrees to his proposal.
 
Ashok's father is a friend of Dhanaji. He arrives at Dhanaji's town for some business purpose and halts at Dhanaji's house, but he does not recognize Ashok who is in disguise as an old bearded man. After some time Mahesh's father arrives at Dhanaji's house because he has not received any news from Mahesh for past few months. Now Dhanaji is confronted with two fathers of Mahesh. When Mahesh arrives at Dhanaji's house, he points at Ashok as his real father because he does not want to put his marriage plan in danger. Dhanaji hands over Mahesh's real father to police thinking him to be an imposter. Ashok guesses that the police would easily confirm the identity of Mahesh's father and then Ashok and Mahesh would be considered as frauds. So Mahesh, Ashok, Seema and Gauri elope in Mahesh's vehicle. They are joined by Laxmikant and Rede's daughter who also want to get married against their parents' wish. When Dhanaji notices their absence, he chases Mahesh's vehicle. He is accompanied by Ashok's father and Mahesh's father. Mahesh's vehicle takes a turn which Dhanaji does not notice and they start chasing another similar vehicle which is occupied by thieves. Chasing the thieves they reach the hiding place of the thieves. There the thieves attack them but Ashok, Mahesh and Laxmikant reach there on time and overpower the thieves. Police arrives and arrests the thieves. Dhanaji realises his folly and allows his three children to marry as per their choice.
