Ravi (Bachchan) is the eldest of a wild clan of seven brothers, each named after a day of the week, who collectively run a farm. Ravi falls for the nurse Indu (Malini), whose arrival following their marriage leads to a disciplining of the entire family. The remaining brothers in turn fall for each of the six companions of the heiress Seema (Ranjeeta), thus initiating the film’s final drama. In order to appropriate her wealth, Seema’s guardian, Ranjit Singh (Khan), has hired the notorious Babu (Bachchan in a double role) to kill her. The villains kidnap Ravi, allowing Babu to impersonate him in order to assassinate Seema. However, Babu is reformed by the large family and in the end falls in love with the heiress. |
