Tohfa

Janaki (Jaya Prada) brings up her younger sister Lalitha (Sridevi) after their parents die. She sacrifices all to make sure that Lakshmi has the best of everything, including a college education. The sisters love each other immensely. When Ram, a fellow villager returns from the city as a qualified lawyer, both sisters secretly are in love with him. When one of them finds out that the other is in love, she promptly marries the local hooligan Kaamesh Singh because she is already pregnant. Ram marries the other sister. As it turns out, not just her sister, but the entire community is flabbergasted at this shotgun wedding, and Kaamesh is turned out of the village. After committing a murder on the train, he is sentenced to jail. His new bride finds a job and gives birth to her son Gopi. It is when Gopi is a school going boy, a few years later that things come to a head. Ram's wife has been unable to conceive. A comic interlude occurs when a neighbour's wife Sundari gets pregnant. Ram and his wife contract for her to be a surrogate mother and hand over the child to Ram. Sundari agrees to carry the baby to term and hand it over to Ram and his wife. She herself has 6 sons named after each of the days of the week; one more child would be one too many. Kaamesh Singh, on his release from prison, turns his sister-in-law against his wife, by implying that his wife is having an affair with her husband. Ram's wife is so angry about his infidelity and swears vengeance against her sister. This sets the stage for the killing of Kaamesh Singh. How will this love triangle be resolved?
