Plot
Sharad (Amol Palekar) belongs to a middle-class family and lives with his brother Shreeram Lagoo and sister-in-law Tarla Mehta in Bombay. Sharad gets a job in Malavli in which he is not interested. He, however, does go for the job where he meets bosses Mr. Rodrigues and Mr. Choudhury, who are initially rude to him, but soften immediately and pamper him when they see he is unmarried. Both these men are on the look-out for grooms for their daughters. On the first day, Sharad's boss Pinchoo Kapoor takes him to his house for lunch where he is introduced to Leena Preeri Ganguly, the boss' fat daughter who promptly falls in love with him. Then, he gets introduced to Mr. Rodrigues' three daughters too. But Sharad is in love with Renu (Ranjeeta Kaur), his neighbour. In the factory, his assistant Mr. Khote (Ashok Saraf) wants to help him get out of the trap created by Mr. Chaudhury and Mr. Rodrigues. Khote spreads the rumour that Sharad is not of good character. This, however, creates tensions between Renu and Sharad. Mr. Chaudhury starts believing that Khote is spreading the rumours in order to win the place of his son-in-law. After a series of funny foibles and fumbles, all tensions are resolved.
