Film Synopsis

Amar, portrayed by Sanjeev Kumar, is a wealthy widower who shares his house with his daughter and a servant Dayal (played by Mehmood). He is constantly bothered by his sister and brother-in-law (Anwar Hussain) who want him to remarry – if not for his sake, the for the sake of his young daughter who needs the love of a mother. Amar having had enough reluctantly agrees to marry. They scout for potential wives, and decide to choose between two sisters -- Shobha (Madhu Malini), and Sheela (Meena T.). Since, Amar has never met either of them, he is not sure if they will be the appropriate choice, and decides to test them – he swaps places with Dayal. When the party (Amar and family) arrive at the prospective-in-laws house, Dayal (as Amar) in given a spacious room, and Amar (as Dayal) is settled into the servant's quarters, which consists of an untidy room with no electricity. Soon, Amar (the real one) realizes that he is in fact attracted to Geeta, played by Jaya Bhaduri, (the household servant) but he cannot reveal himself and openly propose marriage to her, since him being a servant is actually a farce. Meanwhile, Durga starts getting suspicious about Amar (as Dayal), and starts wondering if Amar is actually a servant or a crook to great comic effect.
