Anjali Patekar arrives in Mumbai to escape family problems and look for a job. To secure cheap lodging from a paranoid landlord Popat, she fakes a marriage to Nandu Apte, an aspiring musician who is in a similar predicament. Jeetu Sahai starts his own electronics business after robbing his miserly father. His friend Anil, who wishes to marry into a rich family, woos Madhuri, the daughter of criminal Teja by pretending to be millionairebusinessman Radhe Shyam Tiwari's son. He secures an engagement with her through the help of Tiwari's servant Pandu. Radhe Shyam Tiwari and his wife, also named Anjali, decide to leave their village and shift to Mumbai permanently. Their arrival disrupts Anil's plan, and Pandu asks him to abscond. Teja approaches Tiwari to discuss the marriage, and accuses him of lying when he claims to have no knowledge of his supposed son. This creates a rift between Tiwari and his wife, who suspects that he has a son outside their marriage.
Anjali visits Tiwari's mansion hoping for a job, while Jeetu goes there to fix equipment, and assumes her to be Tiwari's daughter. Later on, she applies for a position at Jeetu's store, who hires her in an attempt to woo her. Anjali continues the pretense, and Jeetu starts dropping her off at Tiwari's mansion everyday. Radhe Shyam spots Jeetu outside his house as he does so, with his wife spotting the other Anjali at the same time. Both Tiwaris become convinced that their spouses are having an affair with the younger counterparts.
Nandu falls for Anjali, while the landlord Popat's wife Dulari falls for him and wants to run away. He discovers that Anjali is being forced to marry Raja, the son of her village's landlord, and scares him away when he arrives in Mumbai. Raja hides at Welcome Lodge under a fake alias, where Anil too is hiding. Soon, Teja learns of Anil's location and arrives at the lodge, but in confusion, beats up Raja instead, making him go crazy. Meanwhile Anjali, unable to keep up with her lies, skips work. A worried Jeetu storms up to Tiwari and demands he let them marry, while Tiwari, believing that he is talking about his wife, starts a feud with him. Nandu lies to Dulari about running away, telling her that he'll be waiting for her at Welcome Lodge. She takes the help of a corrupt policeman Waghmare, but he mistakenly picks up an insane Raja, who fights back and leads Waghmare and the lodge staff into a chase. Jeetu arrives at Tiwari's house. To clear up the misunderstanding, they call Anjali as well, who tells them the truth. Teja reappears, furious about the marriage, and forcibly takes them to his warehouse. Nandu is chased by Popat, who is after a reward that Nandu's family has offered to return him home. All characters end up in Teja's warehouse, where they fight and get arrested. Jeetu and Nandu confront Anjali and profess their love, making her choose. She chooses Nandu and Jeetu quietly agrees.
