== Synopsis ==<br />
A spoilt, young girl, Gauri ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Joshi]]), bumps into an impoverished, village-based young man, Mahesh Jawalkar ([[Mahesh Kothare]]), on the road and both despise each other at first sight. Coincidentally, Mahesh works in the factory owned by Gauri's [[widow]]ed father, Dhanaji Ramchandra Wakde ([[Sharad Talwalkar]]), who is a haughty, renowned [[industrialist]]. Mahesh and Gauri's argument results in Dhanaji firing Mahesh from his job out of affection for his daughter. Nevertheless, a determined Mahesh protests by building a [[tent]] in the Wakde household's [[front yard]]. He also challenges Dhanaji to get his daughter married to him, causing Dhanaji to retaliate by [[Demolition|demolishing]] Mahesh's tent with the help of the police. After petty misunderstandings, Mahesh and Gauri eventually fall in love, but know that it will be difficult to convince Dhanaji for their marriage as Mahesh is way below the Wakde household's [[social status]]. In order to overcome Dhanaji's resistance, Mahesh seeks the aid of his wealthy childhood friend, Ashok Gupchup ([[Ashok Saraf]]), by disguising him as his own elderly, estranged, [[billionaire]] father, "Yadunath Jawalkar", and thus begins the comedy of errors. Dhanaji instantly falls for the scheme and approves of Mahesh's marriage with Gauri. However, things take a drastic turn when Ashok is shocked to meet Gauri's older sister, Seema (Surekha Rane), as Seema was coincidentally Ashok's girlfriend during a trip in [[New Delhi]]. Ashok believes Seema to be Mahesh's girlfriend and leaves the Wakde household in anger, but returns when Mahesh pursues him and clears the misunderstanding. Mahesh reveals Ashok's true identity to Gauri, while Ashok himself reveals his true identity to Seema. Meanwhile, Seema and Gauri's older brother, Laxmikant "Lakshya" ([[Laxmikant Berde]]), is an aspiring [[filmmaker]] who is not interested in the Wakde household's [[family business]]. He desires to sign up a film with a village belle, Ambakka Rede ([[Prema Kiran]]), whom he also loves. Thus, Lakshya aims to make Dhanaji [[Film finance|finance]] his upcoming film as well as approve of his marriage with Ambakka. Eventually, Lakshya discovers Ashok's true identity and supports both him and Mahesh in their tactics against Dhanaji. Ashok, Mahesh, and Lakshya will now try all possible ways to impress Dhanaji to approve their respective marriages. Will the trio succeed in their endeavours?<br />
