Plot
[edit]Sher Singh, a.k.a. Shekhar, a struggling movie scriptwriter, is in love with a Marathi girl Nisha. Then he goes to Swami Trilokand, who tells him that soon he will marry two women. Sher Singh panics. However, Nisha's wealthy father arranges her marriage to his friend's son Vicky, who has loved Nisha for a very long time. Sher Singh rushes home in response to a telegram to find that his marriage has been arranged with a local Village Punjabi girl, Sweety, who has loved him since childhood, in return for his sister's marriage to Sweety's brother. Since Sher's sister has a physical disability in her leg, this may be her only chance of finding a good husband. For his sister's sake, therefore, Sher marries Sweety and returns to Mumbai.
Meanwhile, Nisha refuses to marry Vicky and is ready to kill herself. To pacify Nisha, her father forces Sher to marry her. Sher doesn't get a chance to explain about his first marriage. However, after the wedding, he confesses to Nisha's father that he is already married. Nisha's father advises Sher not to tell her anything. Meanwhile, Vicky goes crazy and attempts to kidnap Nisha, as he wants to marry Nisha. In the ensuing struggle, Nisha's father is killed, and then Vicky seemingly dies in an accident; so, Nisha never gets to learn the truth about Sher's bigamy.
7 years later
Sher Singh leads a double life and has one son with each wife. The two sons, Tuktuk Shekhar and Tony Singh, are exact lookalikes. As the boys are admitted to the same school, they, along with their mothers, become friends. Since Sher Singh goes by the name of Shekhar while in Mumbai, he manages to convince his wives that there are two people—Sher Singh and Shekhar; during the daytime he spends with Sweetie and at nighttime with Nisha, bearing a remarkable resemblance. His sons, meanwhile, suspect that something is wrong because of their similarities and keep investigating. When it almost seems like the truth will be out, there is a surprise element in the entry of a second Shekhar with exactly the same face who claims to be Nisha's husband.
Now, Sher Singh can neither confess to being a bigamist nor sit silently as a stranger stays with his wife Nisha. Meanwhile, he is implicated in a murder as well. Finally, it turns out that Vicky is not actually dead, and he has undergone face reconstruction surgery to have the same face as Sher Singh. Vicky wants Nisha and tries to get close to her, but Sher refuses it to happen. Vicky was about to kill Sher and his family, except Nisha. Both his wives fight for him and save him. After much slapstick, all ends well, and they live happily.[3]
