Plot synopsis:
Charandas is a fledgling wrestler who lives with Bhajandas. According to Bhajandas, Charandas should marry and start a family of his own. But Charan is hell bent on becoming a wrestler & is even ready to remain a bachelor until 40 as per the norms of Mastram. However, one day, Charan's thoughts are challenged when he sees Chameli on Kallumal's coal depot. He realizes that to marry her, he may have to leave Mastram's Akhara.
Charan does so & seeks help of Adv.Harish, a close friend of his brother. Harish appreciates Charan's love & is ready to help latter. Charan dares to confess his love to Chameli. On other hand, Anita (Roopini), Chameli's best friend is also convinced of Chameli's true love. The lover duo start meeting secretly. One day, however, the love affair stands exposed when a relative of Chameli spots the duo in a restaurant.
The respective families soon take up cudgels against their wards & make it clear that they won't allow inter caste marriage. Chameli is kept under house arrest & her parents decide to get her married to one of their acquaintances. Charan comes to know of this development. Mastram is surprisingly supportive of Charan's love. He explains that just as bachelorhood is a challenge for would be wrestlers, a lover should not back out from the challenge posed by the world.
Mastram along with Charan's friends back the lovers to overcome the obstacles. Here, Champa calls in the help of her rogue brother Chhadam Lal aka Chhadmi (Annu Kapoor) against Charan. With help of Harish & all his friends, Charan chalks out a plan to rescue Chameli from her house. As per the plan, Charan abducts Chameli from her own house, while Harish sees to it that the duo legally get married. Charan & Chameli are initially frightened, but Harish convinces them by telling them that as long as people do not dare to marry outside the caste like them, Indians will never be truly united.
Meanwhile, on learning that Chameli is missing, her parents lodge a complaint against Charan. They proceed to the place where Charan & Chameli are going to get married. Meanwhile, Bhajandas also comes with his men to disrupt the marriage. Both the parties have arrived late, as Charandas & Chameli are legally husband & wife now. They vent their ire on Harish, who according to them is responsible for corrupting the duo. Harish takes Bhajandas sidewise & explains that if the marriage is permitted by him, he will garner votes of both the castes in the election. Besides, he will get coal & cement at subsidized rate from Kallumal.
Convinced by the argument of Harish, Bhajandas relents in the control of greed. Similarly, Harish tells Kallumal that an influential Bhajandas is sure to win the elections. If Kallumal accepts the marriage, he will get special perks for his coal business thanks to Bhajandas. Kallumal too goes greedy & relents. In the end, Chameli & Charandas are united with the blessing from both the parties.

Review:
very good clean comedy movie. This is a very good comedy movie, which will make you laugh while watching and make you smile after movie is finished. At that time such movies were very rarely made in Bollywood. Hats of to the director Basu Chatterji. Storyline is very simple. In a small suburban area, lives Chameli(Amrita Singh) and Charandas(Anil Kapoor). Both fall in love. But their parents are against their marriage. Charandas finally with the help of Vakeel Bhaiya(Amzad Khan) make a lot of struggle and marry with the Chameli. Vakeel takes care of changing the opinions of their parents. Music is not very good and not bad at the same time. The song "Mohabbat Ke Dushman Jara Hosh Me Aa" certainly makes an impact.Director must be given credits for how he plotted this simple story. Starting from the Charandas becoming Chela of his Guru, he fall in love with the Chameli, their flirting with each other, letter exchanges, Chameli's parents locking her in the room, Charandas asking help from Vakeel all these scenes follow a very good time line. Each character has given some uniqueness and then actors have done justice with these characters. Even small characters like of Mamu(Anu Kapoor) and Master(OM Prakash) makes an impact. Amrita Singh fits equally good as an old school student, so Anil Kapoor, as a bachelor, who fall in love unexpectedly. Special hats to Pankaj Kapoor as in Kalluram. All others are fitted well in the story, and done their part as expected. This movie is a really good and can be kept in a collection.. great comedy!. The movie is a laugh riot and very natural. Very enjoyable even today and some great and natural comedy by Anil kapur, amrita singh, pankaj kapur and annu kapur. one of Anil Kapur's best and natural performance. pankaj kapur and amjed khan are very good too. very good movie.. this one is hilarious. This is a hilarious movie about a small town romance. Pankaj Kapoor as coal merchant and Amrita Singh's father and Amjad Khan as lawyer and Anil Kapoor's big brother are brilliant and although i am not a big fan of Anil Kapoor and Amrita Singh but they have done a good job as well. Basu Chatterjee and Sharad Joshi have been successful in capturing the spirit of a small town in UP. The language used is right out of some town in western UP and the result is quite hilarious. But the songs stick out like a sore thumb because not only they are out of place but absolute base as well. If you like simple comedies you will love this one but don't forget to skip the songs.. Classic and humorous. His movie is simply excellent. This is my favorite Indian movie of all time. It is comic genius. It never lags, it never slows down, it is a movie that has a wonderful flow to the plot. That along with the brilliant writing makes this an awesome movie. You can't stop laughing during the movie.Right from the first scene to the last, your giggles don't stop.
