Plot
editA wealthy Bombay-based industrialist Kedarnath (Om Shivpuri) travels to a small town where his childhood friend Narayan (Pran) resides. He meets with him, his wife Laxmi (Urmila Bhatt), and their daughter Rani (Poonam Dhillon). He proposes that Rani marry his son Rajesh (Raj Babbar) and move with him to the city. Narayan and Laxmi are overjoyed. Soon a marriage takes place. When Rani reaches Kedarnath's house, she is welcomed neither by her mother-in-law Sheela (Rohini Hattangadi) nor by her husband and his sisters Jyoti (Neelam) and Pinky. She is ill-treated, belittled, slapped, and humiliated on every possible occasion.
Then the unexpected happens: Jyoti happens to be a child bride, married to a poor Bhardwaj family. Now Deepak Bhardwaj (Rishi Kapoor) has grown up and has come to claim Jyoti as his wife and moves into their house, much to the chagrin of Jyoti, Rajesh, Pinky, and Sheela. Tragedy follows as Kedarnath passes away, leaving Rani and Deepak to the mercy of Sheela, who loses no time in turning the tables on them and asking them to leave the house. She is now busy preparing Rajesh's marriage to a young woman named Sona (Rekha), who is not only rich but also beautiful and is ready to come to her home with a huge dowry. Sheela does not know that Sona has her own agenda and plan, which do not include Sheela at all.
