Plot

The film begins with Dr. Shashikanth Verma (Jeetendra) a happy-go-lucky with bountiful girlfriends, the son of wealthy Retired judge Umakanth Verma (Ashok Kumar). Gauri (Rekha) a self-esteem woman, resides at Shashi's outhouse and administrates Umakanth's house with her amiable and authoritative behavior. Since childhood, Shashi & Gauri squabble but have untold love. Meanwhile, Shashi moves abroad for higher studies when Umakanth passes away making a testament that Shashi must marry Gauri. Knowing it, Shashi accuses Gauri when she renounces the wealth and is about to quit. At that juncture, forlorn Shashikanth bars and marries her. Soon they are blessed with a baby boy Ravikanth. Thereafter, Gauri spots Shashi with his ex-girlfriend Krishna (Asha Sachdev). Without knowledge of the actuality that Shashi is treating her ailing daughter, she suspects their relationship which results in the death of the kid. Hence a rift arises between the couple when Gauri the pregnant lady, moves out but Shashi retains Ravi. Soon, she gives birth to another child Umakanth. Years roll by, and Ravikanth (Sachin) grows up under the pampering of his father whereas Umakanth (Arun Govil) turns into a meritorious student with Gauri's effort. Right now, the siblings join the same workplace, become good friends, and marry their love interests Monica (Tamanna) and Manisha (Shoma Anand), respectively. Here, destiny brings the couple near but conceit makes them stand far. Later the couple is humiliated by the children giving priority to their wives. At this point, they realize that their real companion is their best half. So, they immediately rush when learning the devilry of children towards their spouse and contrariwise make them plead pardon. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the reunion of the couple.
