Plot
[edit]Durgeshwari is a very rich and proud lady. She stays in her palatial house with her two sons, Dheeraj and Neeraj, her daughter Rekha, her brother Dindayal Trivedi, and his close friend Banke Bihari Chaturvedi, along with her personal secretary, Shakti. Rekha studies in a medical college in Bombay. Durgeshwari has full control over her home and company and is feared by all. Her ambitions of marrying Rekha in a rich family like hers seem to fail when Rekha falls in love with Raja. Raja is an unemployed, poor, but smart and educated man. Durgeshwari, seeing him as a smart fellow, puts a condition for agreeing to the marriage, which would humiliate him and thus make him back out. She asks Raja to live with them after the marriage and not the other way around, where the bride goes to live at the groom's home.
Duregeshwari tries many tricks to humiliate, demean, and even portray a false image of Raja in front of Rekha with the help of all her aides. But it's all in vain; Raja outdoes her tricks and eventually enters into her good books.
