Sharad (Amol Palekar) belongs to a middle-class family and lives with his brother Shreeram Lagoo and sister-in-law Tarla Mehta in Bombay.

Chaudhary (Pinchoo Kapoor) invites Sharad home for lunch and introduces him to his daughter Leena (Preeti Ganguly) who promptly falls in love with him.

At the factory, his assistant Khote (Ashok Saraf), wanting to help him get out of the trap set by the bosses, spreads a rumour that Sharad is not of good character.

Chaudhury starts believing that Khote is spreading the rumours to win over Sharad as his own son-in-law.
