The story begins with a wealthy household dominated by Durga (Aruna Irani), with her husband, three sons Ram (Ashok Saraf), Laxman (Laxmikant Berde) and the youngest Bharat. Ram and Laxman are married and both are fathers to girls. This causes Durga much worry as to who will continue the family lineage and out of resentment sends both her daughters-in-law back to their parent's home. Her last hope her son Bharat is persuaded into marrying Priya (Rambha), and has the unwanted burden of bearing a son.
In this household Durga's dominance is total, even her own husband Dashrath (Prem Chopra) submits to her whims and fancies. Coincidentally Govinda and his friend Mullu (Johny Lever), a detective, are both expectant fathers around the same time, and their respective wives are admitted into the same maternity ward. Meanwhile Durga who suffers a heart attack, is also admitted to the same hospital. Mullu is the first one to become proud father of a baby boy, whom he rushes over to Bharat, on the other hand Priya delivers a baby girl.
While Bharat is playing with Mullu's son, Dashrath enters and assumes the boy to be that of Bharat, and rushes to his wife announcing the good news. Durga is overjoyed, and is soon on the road of recovery. Here is the dilemma of the film that Bharat too has fathered a girl, just as his brothers, but cannot disclose the truth to his family. Mullu, father of the boy cannot claim his own son in order to avoid Durga's wrath, and the fear of her health being in danger again. How much longer before the truth is out, forms the crux of this heart warming film.
