[edit] Story
The first half of the movie shows the life of the brothers who grew up under Ravi's helm, parentless and living like animals in their adult life, yet sustaining their livelihood by farming. The oldest brother Ravi falls in love and gets married through a series of romancing plots. The brothers (All including Ravi till he fell in love were misogynists) and the new woman in their lives adjust with each other and she civilizes them. Suddenly they all fall in love with a group of women and things take a turn for the worse.
The group of women is also attracted to them, however there is a physically disabled girl among them called Seema Singh (Ranjeeta) who is still single. She happens to be Ranjit Singh's (Amjad Khan) niece. Since the niece has recently turned eighteen, the uncle wants the niece dead so that he can claim all her wealth. The following part of the movie involves plots by the uncle to kill her, which involve the use of Ravi's look-alike (played again by Amitabh Bachchan as Babu). How the brothers come to Ravi's aid once he is kidnapped and replaced by Babu and if Seema will ever be able to see the end to all this, makes up the rest of the movie.
