Amit (Rakesh Roshan) was a modern guy, raised in Bombay (present day Mumbai) and educated in USA. He wants to marry a compatible woman who was educated and could share his views. To contrary his parents fix his marriage with a beautiful, intelligent and traditional village girl Madhuri (Rekha). Amit tries to reject but his father (Utpal Dutt)adamantly demands that he should marry Madhuri or leave the house. Having no choice, Amit waits for an opportunity.

Madhuri lives along with her widowed mother and her brother Shrikant (Rakesh Bedi). Shrikant comes to Amits house before marriage and Amits father demands dowry in the form of gold just to make fun of him. He takes that seriously and thinking that wedding wouldnt take place if he couldnt get the gold, he gets fake jewellery. During wedding ceremony, Amit observes that and takes that opportunity to reject bride despite the fact that wedding already took place and Madhuri is his wife now. Amits parents request Madhuri to wait for some time for Amit to correct his behavior.

But after a year, still Amit wouldnt come back to take Madhuri to her in-laws house. Madhuri wants to get a job in Bombay and goes to an interview. There, she comes to know that Amit was the boss and gets the job anyway. She changes her name to Malathi Choudhury and as Amit hasnt seen her face previously, couldnt recognize her. He develops feelings on Malathi and after some time she reciprocates them too.

He wants to marry her hiding the fact that he is a married man.Amits parents still waiting for Madhuri, comes to know about Malathi and try to confront her. They recognize Madhuri and want to continue the game. At last Madhuris mother reveals Malathiis real identity to Amit and he plays a little drama too. At last Amit asks apology and invites Madhuri as daughter-in-law (Bahu rani) to his house.
