Synopsis

A rich spoilt girl, Gauri (Nivedita Joshi Saraf), bumps into a young man, Mahesh Jawalkar (Mahesh Kothare), and both despise each other at first sight. Mahesh works as a farm inspector for Gauri's widowed father, Dhanaji Wakade (Sharad Talwalkar), who is a haughty industrialist. Mahesh and Gauri's quarrel results in Mahesh's banishment from Dhanaji's company. However, the high-esteemed Mahesh protests by building a tent in Dhanaji's front yard and challenges him to marry him off to his daughter. After petty misunderstandings, Mahesh and Gauri put the quarrel behind them and fall in love anew, but it will be difficult to convince her father for their marriage as Mahesh is way below Dhanaji's social status. In a bid to overcome Dhanaji's resistance, Mahesh seeks the aid of his childhood friend, Ashok Gupchup (Ashok Saraf), by disguising him as his elderly, estranged father and a millionaire so that Dhanaji approves his marriage. Dhanaji instantly falls for the scheme before Ashok is shocked by the glimpse of his second daughter, Seema (Surekha Rane), as she is the girl whom he loves from a trip in New Delhi. Meanwhile, Dhanaji's son, Laxmikant (Laxmikant Berde), also known as Lakshya, is an aspiring filmmaker and is not interested in the family business. He desires to make a film with a village belle, 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 changes his opinion about his own father and supports both Mahesh and Ashok in their tactics against Dhanaji. Ashok, Mahesh and Lakshya will now try all possible ways to impress Dhanaji to approve their marriages.
