Kalpana (Rekha) is a young woman with a compulsive tendency to lie, often using her fabrications for what she perceives as benevolent outcomes, such as helping others in distress or facilitating positive changes in her family's life. She lives with her elder brother Kamal (Amol Palekar), a strict police inspector who frequently warns her that her deceptions will eventually lead to serious trouble, her younger sister Alpana (Prema Narayan), and their mother Shanti (Shammi) in a middle-class household. Despite Kamal's admonitions, Kalpana continues her pranks and white lies, believing they serve a greater good. For e.g. Kalpana tells Kamal that his best friend Ranjan has been injured in an accident. Kamal rushes to meet him and finds that his friend is perfectly alright. Kalpana told a lie as Kamal never made time in his busy life to meet his friends. Kalpana's friend wants to complete her education to get a job and contribute towards supporting her home. But she did not have money to pay her fees. So, Kalpana mortgaged her gold chain to pay for her fees and told Kamal that her chain had been stolen. Later, her friend gets the money from her brother and returns the chain, but meets Kamal instead, to whom she narrates the whole story. Kamal is investigating a local drug gang who is supplying drugs to the betel leave shops in the area. Kamal raids the establishment of Babulal (Goga Kapoor) who is a mafia don of the area. A man named Sunil runs away from the raid and turns out he is the brother of Dr Anil Gupta. Professor Puri is the family elder friend of Kamal and Kalpana. Professor Puri congratulates Kamal on his raid and wants to know how he knew where to conduct the raid. Kamal conveniently dodges the question and does not divulge his sources. Puri says that police work is too dangerous and encourages him to take on a different line of work as he has 2 sisters to marry and a widow mother to take care of. Kamal harbors feelings for their neighbor Seema (Supriya Pathak), a kind-heart woman living with her mother (Dina Pathak), but struggles to express them due to his reserved nature. Kalpana fabricates scenarios to bring them together, including staging chance encounters and exaggerating compliments to boost Kamal's confidence. Meanwhile, Alpana works at a travel agency and is secretly in love with her customer Rasiklal (Deven Verma), a humorous but somewhat bumbling man. However, their mother arranges Alpana's marriage to the respectable Dr. Anil Gupta (Raj Babbar) to secure her future. To sabotage this alliance and allow Alpana to pursue Rasiklal, Kalpana spreads false rumors claiming Dr. Gupta is untrustworthy and has a questionable character, successfully halting the wedding plans. Kalpana tells Shanti that she had once gone to Dr Anil for an ankle sprain and he ended up sexually harassing her. Dr Anil considered Seema as his sister and her mother as his own mother. Seema finds out about Kalpana's story and confronts Anil. Anil is adamant that nothing of the sort happened between them. Anil meets Seema's mother and tells her the same and says that Kalapana is lying as he has never even seen her. Kalpana is proven to be a liar when Seema's mother introduces Anil to Kalpana, and she does not recognize him. When Kamal confronts Kalpana, she says that Alpana loves someone else and hence she had to resort to lies to break her match with Dr Anil. Kamal meets Rasik, without telling him that he is Alpana's brother, and tells him to meet Alpana's family to ask for her hand in marriage. Kamal then tells Kalpana and Alpana that he has selected a boy to marry Alpana who is coming to meet her. Alpana is devastated and Kalpana decides to intervene. She gets a neighborhood kid and gets him to say that he is Alpana's son. Kalpana intercepts Rasik, without knowing that he is Alpana's Rasik and tells him that Alpana was married once earlier and had 2 kids from that union. Rasik runs away. When Alpana meets Rasik later that day, she realizes that it was Rasik who Kamal had selected as her groom. Kalpana sprains her ankle in a sports competition at college and ends up going to a clinic without realizing that it belongs to Anil. Ironically, when Kalpana meets Dr. Gupta to apologize for her slander, she develops genuine romantic feelings for him, leading to her own courtship filled with initial misunderstandings stemming from her earlier lies. Kalpana tells Anil that she only told a lie as Alpana loved another man. Kalpana organizes a picnic where she gets to spend time with Anil, Kamal with Seema and Rasik with Alpana. Later, Kalpana goes to meet Anil at his house and ends up meeting Sunil who she witnesses consuming drugs in his room. Kalpana confronts Sunil but then protects his secret in front of Anil. Sunil is embarrassed and decides to give up drugs. Complications escalate when Dr. Gupta's younger brother Sunil becomes entangled in a dangerous drug trafficking operation run by a criminal gang masquerading as academics, led by a figure posing as a professor. Puri (Madan Puri). Puri realizes that Sunil knows Kalpana and hence Kamal. He figures that Sunil is the mole in their organization due to which the police have been able to raid all their dens. Puri asks Babulal to eliminate Sunil and Kalpana. In a bid to save Kalpana, Sunil murders one of Babulal's henchmen. Kamal investigates the murder and arrests Sunil. Sunil (Rasik Dave) gets framed for a related murder, prompting Dr. Gupta to seek help from Kamal. Desperate to protect her newfound love and his family, Kalpana testifies in court with a fabricated story to exonerate Sunil. Kalpana says that on the day of the murder, Sunil was with her at a holiday resort for the entire day and night. Dr. Gupta believes the worst about Kalpana's chastity and her entire family turns against her. The situation worsens as the drug gang, seeking revenge for the interference, kidnaps Kalpana to silence her. Kamal leverages his police resources, with assistance from Dr. Gupta and Rasiklal, to track down and rescue Kalpana from the gang's hideout in a tense confrontation that exposes the criminals' operations. The rescue succeeds, leading to the arrest of the traffickers and Sunil's full vindication. As the dust settles, the accumulated lies are unraveled through honest confessions: Kalpana admits her deceptions were rooted in good intentions to support her loved ones, earning forgiveness from Kamal, who reflects on how her actions ultimately benefited everyone despite the chaos. The romantic entanglements resolve happily. Kamal marries Seema, Alpana weds Rasiklal, and Kalpana unites with Dr. Gupta, affirming that while truth is ideal, compassionate lies can sometimes pave the way for positive outcomes.

Alok (Amol Palekar) is the only son of millionaire Mrs. Karuna Chaudhari (Veena). For the past few years he was a mental case. However, he recovered after a hard work by Dr. Sen (Iftekhar). Alok has recently recovered and is leading a normal life. Karuna and her brother Dilip Thakur (Dinesh Thakur), decide to get him married but the doctor says that the girls whom Alok marries should completely dissolve her personality into Alok because such people become quite possessive after treatment. Karuna was married to Ranjeet. But before marriage, Anupam (Shreeram Lagoo) was in love with Karuna, but her father refused her wedding to Anupam as their horoscopes didn't match. Ranjeet later appointed Anupam as Director in their firm, and that's when Ranjeet found that Anupam and Karuna loved each other from before their wedding. Ranjeet was heartbroken and commits suicide to free Karuna. But Karuna never married Anupam. His suicide made Alok mentally unstable. While Dilip was at the asylum to collect Alok, he runs out of the town (in Dilip's car) and goes to Bombay (by train, which he catches at the train station). Keeping in mind that he will not return with his Uncle whom he recognizes, Karuna sends her new manager, Mr. Siddharth (Parikshit Sahni), to bring him back home. Siddarth had replaced the ex-manager Gupta (Utpal Dutt), who was very cruel and unreasonable with the workers of the factory. He blames the workers if the machines break down and uses their salaries to fix and repair them. Siddharth was a senior supervisor and was not afraid to stand up to Gupta against his dictatorship. Karuna likes Siddharth's approach and fires Gupta. She asks Siddharth to take over as the manager of the factory as he is kind and fair to the workers. Meeta is Karuna's assistant and became close with Siddharth after he became the manager. slowly Meeta and Siddharth fall in love with each other. Siddharth goes to Bombay and finds Alok at his regular hotel. Alok was looking to move from a double room into a single room (as the double room is too expensive) and Siddharth offers to share the double room with Alok. Alok and Siddharth become friends, and soon Alok gets very possessive about Siddharth. He wants Siddharth to be with him always and offers to pay him rs 2500 per month for the same. Siddharth asks where Alok will get that kind of money and that's when Alok reveals his true identity to Siddharth. He says he doesn't like going back home, as he gets sick there. Siddharth tells Alok that he has been sent by Karuna to bring Alok back home. This is the only way Siddharth and Alok can be together. Meanwhile, Alok gets attached with Siddharth so much that he does not want him to leave for just a minute and so with his friend, Meeta (Rameshwari). Meeta is an orphan brought up by Mrs. Karuna. Alok falls in love with Meeta and wants to marry her. Meeta is very kind of Mrs. Karuna and does not want to hurt her by refusing to marry Alok but she loves Siddharth. Siddharth also tells her to sacrifice her love for the sake of her loyalty to Karuna. Meeta gets engaged with Alok and Siddharth leaves the town after giving resignation. Now Mr Gupta finds his opportunity and starts indicating to Alok that there was something going on between Meeta and Siddharth. Gupta tells Alok that Meeta spent an entire evening with Siddharth before leaving, and even produces her handkerchief as evidence of the same. Alok recalls Siddharth to work by accusing him of accounting fraud at the company. Siddharth is outraged and returns. Alok now taunts Meeta and Siddharth and wants them to admit to their relationship. He leaves town for a few days, yet stays secretly to observe what Meeta and Siddharth do. Alok hears Meeta profess her love to Siddharth, when they think they are alone. Alok tries to kill Siddharth, but at the last moment back off as he cannot kill his friend. Siddharth confronts Alok that he tried to kill him. Siddharth wants to leave, but Alok wont tell him till Siddharth tells him about the extent of his relationship with Meeta. When Siddharth refuses to comply, Alok goes mad with outrage. He kills Siddharth's dog in retaliation. It is clear that he is mentally unstable again. Alok tries to kill Meeta by pressing her neck, but she manages to escape. Meeta decides to leave town and joins Siddharth in Bombay. Alok finds out that the duo are together in Bombay. Alok calls Siddharth as a friend and says that he got blind with jealousy. He begs Siddharth and Meeta to return, as Mrs Karuna loves Meeta very dearly. Siddharth decides to go back alone. But Alok has every intention to ensure that Siddharth cant get Meeta, if he cant get her. Alok maintains a diary, and Mr Gupta knows where he keeps the diary. When Siddharth arrives, Alok gives him all the jewels that Mrs Karuna had kept as a wedding gift for Meeta and Alok's wedding. Alok says that Mrs Karuna knew about Meeta marrying Siddharth and wanted her to have the jewels none-the-less. Siddharth agrees to take the jewels When putting into the briefcase, Siddharth finds that Alok had kept a gun in it for Sid's safety. Siddharth takes the gun and returns to Alok. But now the gun has his fingerprints on it. After Siddharth leaves, Alok takes the gun (carefully wrapped in a handkerchief) and shoots himself, before throwing the cloth in the fire. Mr Gupta is the first inside the room and sees the burning handkerchief. Alok dies. Meeta and Siddharth get married, when police arrives and arrests him. The case reaches court, where Anupam defends Siddharth, while Dilip is the prosecuting lawyer. All the evidence is against Siddharth, and he is found guilty, and sentenced to death. Just a few days before his hanging, Dr Sen returns from a trip to Europe and tells the jailer that he knew Alok and he was still very mentally fragile. But nobody can stop the hanging unless there is any fresh evidence in the case. As a last resort, Anupam and Meeta approach Mrs Karuna. Dr Sen knew that Alok maintained a diary, and they want Mrs Karuna to help them find the diary. KAruna agrees after Anupam convinces her that Meeta is her daughter and Siddharth is like her son and is innocent. Mr Gupta overhears this and tries to burn the diary. But Meeta and Anupam reach in time and stop Mr Gupta and recover the diary. They manage to use the evidence to issue Governor's orders to stop the hanging, just in the nick of time. Meeta and Siddharth are reunited

Naram Garam is the story of Kusum (Swaroop Sampat) and her father Vishnuprasad (A.K. Hangal), who are left homeless due to non-repayment of debts from the local money lender (Vishnu had mortgaged the house for his wife's treatment, who later died). They are helped by Ramprasad (Amol Palekar), who is in love with Kusum. Birju (Anand) is Vishnu'son, who left the house to join a theatre company, which Vishnu disapproved of. Ramprasad was a student of Vishnuprasad and came to meet him in the village after getting Vishnu's letter. Vishnu wants Ram to marry Kusum, but Ram says he has a low income of rs 140/month and stays in his boss's house. Ram returns to the city to his job.. Bhavani Shankar (Utpal Dutt), Ramprasad's employer, is feared by his family members and employees, but is himself terrified of his own mother-in-law Naniji (Dina Pathak). He is also very superstitious. Bhavani has a younger brother Babua (Shatrughan Sinha) and daughter Sumitra/Summi (Kiran Vairale). Babua hasn't married as he wants to get Summi married first, who will soon turn 20. Ramprasad helps Bhavani Shankar get the possession of his ancestral home after a 53-year-long legal battle with a squatter and is therefore assigned the responsibility of getting the house back in shape so that it can be re-occupied. The house is worth 2 Lakhs, but Bhavani spent Rs 4.25 Lakhs in legal fees to get it back and 6 lawyers died over the time to fight the case in courts. It is a matter of great pride for Bhavani. Now, Babua wants to celebrate the occasion and asks Ram to organize a theatre (he is a great fan of Rani Radmavati, Jhasi and Sita).. Ram contacts Birju. Babua gets drunk and hits Ravaan for ill-treating Sita and admonishes Laxman for not following the instructions of his brother. Birju's theatre owner Guruji (Nilu Phule) understands his pain of not being able to help his family. Birju earns rs 50/month with Guruji. Guruji introduces Birju to Ratna (Padma Chavan), who runs a much bigger company. Ratna loves Birju from first sight, but she also likes that Birju is a thorough professional and a gentleman. She hires Birju for Rs 200/month. In the meanwhile, Kusum and her father come to the shelter of Ramprasad (They were kicked out of their village home by the money lender) and start staying in the house (since Bhavani is out of town to meet a priest in Banaras). Ramprasad doesn't have a house of his own, hence decides to let them stay illegally until he can find an alternative. When this comes to the knowledge of the estate manager, Gajanan Babu (Suresh Chatwal), he arrives furious and determined to oust the squatters. However, he succumbs to the charms of Kusum and instead of ousting the old man and his daughter, presents a proposal of marriage. Horrified, Kusum and Ramprasad turn to Kali Shankar, a.k.a. Babua (Shatrughan Sinha), Bhavani Shankar's younger brother, for help. Babua is a garage mechanic and a ruffian with a kind heart for women in distress. Ram says that Kusum and Vishnu are squatters but instead of evicting them, Gajanan has given them permission to stay in exchange for marriage with Kusum. Ram tells Babua that Kusum will commit suicide if forced to marry Gajanan. He successfully dissuades Gajanan Babu from carrying through with his proposal, but is also determined to oust Kusum and her father. However, he too is captivated by Kusum's beauty and presses his suit. Then Ramprasad finally turns to Bhavani Shankar, who dissuades Babua using his younger brother's fear of him. ShastriJi (Om Prakash) is Bhavani's priest, who had advised him to marry a younger girl, whose name starts with a K. When Bhavani meets Kusum, he thinks this is an omen. Bhavani Prasad comes to his home to oust the illegal residents, but is captivated by Kusum's voice and beauty. Being a very superstitious man and a faithful believer of astrologers, Bhavani Prasad believes that Kusum is the reincarnation of his dead wife Ahilya . He decides to marry Kusum. Ramprasad finds the situation becoming very sticky, but decides to play along. Bhavani Shankar takes all the precautions to make sure the marriage would take place secretly, only with Ramprasad's knowledge. Ram goes to find Birju. Meanwhile Birju had become a confidant of Ratna. Ratna shares how she was married at 12, and was beaten and burned at her in-laws. She came back home, but couldn't find peace. She started the theatre company to keep herself busy. She gives her jewels to Birju, so he can get Kusum married with honor. However, Ramprasad invites Bhavani Shankar's mother-in-law and daughter to come to the house at exact date and time of the marriage, without telling them of the marriage itself. Bhavani Shankar now finds himself in a flux, not having the courage to get married in their presence. He secretly convinces Ramprasad to marry Kusum instead. Ramprasad negotiates his salary (rs 600/month) and the house in return of the deal. Thus, Ramprasad and Kusum finally get married and the reality behind the whole affair remains undiscovered.

This is a story of two lawyer brothers Advocate (Utpal Dutt) & Harish (Girish Karnad), their half-brother Chandranath (Amol Palekar) (son of their father's brother), their wives and children. Siddheshwari (Ashalata Wabgaonkar), wife of the eldest brother has left the operational details of the household to Sheela (Shabana Azmi), wife of the half-brother Chander. Chander is a happy go lucky musician, who fails in successive business ventures (like selling mustard oil. He lost Rs 8000 in selling rice & jute previously. He wants another rs 6000 for the mustard oil business). Sheela ensures that the household runs smoothly, while Siddheshwari is the fount of love and affection in the joint household. Chander has kids Ramu (Master Vikas), Pappu (Master Pappu), Kanhaiya (Master Rajesh). Neela (Manisha) Siddheshwari's daughter and Mahendra (Gopi Sapru) plus Hari are her sons. Harish and his spouse Naintara (Bharati Achrekar) rejoin the household. Atul is their son. Naintara gets expensive clothes for Atul and expects Siddheshwari to pay for them. Naintara wants control over the house money, but the house keys have been entrusted to Sheela. Atul makes fun of the way Hari dresses and Sheela scolds him badly. Naintara is offended, but Siddheshwari won't say a word. Naintara complains to Siddheshwari that she will escalate the matter to Harish. Siddheshwari is alarmed and calls Sheela and scold her for her behavior. Sheela shows maturity, apologizes to Naintara and organizes a party for Atul. But Atul is also offended that Sheela yelled at him and is no mood to compromise. Atul enters the kitchen with his shoes on and won't back down when Sheela asks him to get out. When Atul starts insulting Sheela, Mahendra intervenes, and a fight breaks out between Atul and Mahendra. Harish tries to intervene and tells Sheela to come to him if she has a problem with Atul. Siddheshwari shuts up Harish by saying that in that case, he should bring all complaints against Sheela to her. This is a women's matter and asks him to back down. Naintara & Harish decide to leave the house, but Siddheshwari tells them to stay. Naintara says that Sheela has told all the kids to ignore Atul and that is unacceptable. Siddheshwari asks the kids, who tell her that until Atul apologizes to Sheela, they will ignore him. Siddheshwari is convinced at Naintara's allegations. When Siddheshwari confronts Sheela, she says Atul is a spoiled brat and she will not allow any kid of the house to be influenced by him. Siddheshwari speaks to Sheela alone, but she refuses to budge. Siddheshwari gets angry and says that she cannot ask her blood relation (Hairsh & Naintara) to leave the house for the fear of society opinion. Siddheshwari escalates the matter to Advocate and tells him that Chander needs to start earning his share around the house. due to this insult, Sheela stops speaking to Siddheshwari, but continues to perform all her duties around the house. Naintara sweet talks Siddheshwari and tries to take over the kitchen. She gets Siddheshwari to admit that they are blood relations and need to care for each other. Sheela is hurt even further. But even Siddheshwari knows that she is saying these things to make Naintara happy and doesn't really believe in them. Advocate tries to handle the situation in his own way. He scolds Chander in front of Harish for being a failure at Mustard business but gives him Rs 10,000 more to start the sawdust business. But Harish tells Advocate that he should not destroy another Rs 10,000 on Chander as he doesn't know anything about business. Advocate is convinced and asks Chander to start teaching the kids as the teacher also charges Rs 50/month. Despite the coldness, Siddheshwari pines for Sheela's care and warmth, which she never gets from Naintara. One day Harish brings Rs 500 from his work. Naintara gives this money to Siddheshwari and makes her point that Harish is contributing to the house, but Chander is not. Sheela is so hurt that she gives back the house keys to Siddheshwari. Siddheshwari is also hurt at Sheela throwing the keys at her and asks Sheela when she is leaving the house, and how much money she has stolen already. Sheela decides to leave the house and tells Chander that they will stay in the village house from now on. Siddheshwari believes that Sheela will not leave if she doesn't allow her to touch her feet, and shuts the door. Sheela pays her respects at the doorstep and leaves with her family. Chander and Sheela reach the village house with their kids, where Manohar Lal (Manik Dutt) was the sole caretaker of the property. Manohar was in charge of growing crops on the family land, but he was selling a portion of the produce on the side and profiting personally from it, without declaring that income to the family. To get rid of Chander, Manohar decides to stop sending money to Calcutta, and plans to create a hue and cry in front of Advocate that Chander has decided to take over the farms himself. Meanwhile Manohar asks Chander that the repair of the house is due and asks Chander to visit Advocate and ask for money. Advocate gives Rs 1000. Manohar now meets Harish and tells him that Chander has ordered not to send any money to Calcutta. Harish sends a letter to Chander to vacate the house. Chander and Sheela shift into a hut in front of the house but refuse to go back to Calcutta. Chander also decides not to use the farm income for home repairs. Chander and Sheela decide not to respond to Harish's letter. Harish takes this as a declaration of war and proceeds with a court case against Chander. Harish even sends the police to search for stolen money in Chander's possession. Siddheshwari is alarmed at these allegations but backs off when even her husband calls Chander a thief. Meanwhile Manohar tells the village grocer to stop giving supplies to Chander on credit. Sheela starts selling her jewels to keep the house going. Siddheshwari is very close to Pappu and senses that he is not well. This is when Pappu is indeed very sick. She tells the advocate to go to the village and check on the family. Advocate reaches the village and finds Pappu was indeed sick. He was not aware that Chander was fighting a case that Harish had started against him. He also finds that Chander and his family stay in a hut opposite the family house. He finds that Sheela has sold off all her jewels. Sheela breaks down saying that Chander always followed the orders given to him. He came to the village and stayed in the servant's quarters. He was accused of falsehoods and even a police search was conducted against him. He fired Manohar since he caught him stealing from the family farms and income. Advocate is heartbroken and transfers all the property to Sheela. As a result, Harish loses the case in court. Harish decides to go back to Patna with his family. Advocate brings Chander and his family back from the village. Siddheshwari thanks advocate for fixing her family. Advocate knew that Chander was depositing all the property income in advocate's bank account, and that Manohar was stealing from them, and Chander fired him.

Arun works as a Chartered Accountant at a private firm named Jackson Tolaram. Arun is a Supervisor, Grade 2. At work, Arun is pushed around by his juniors, who are busy hearing Cricket commentary, while Arun has to catch flak from his boss for unfinished work and has to work late nights to complete it. One fine day he comes across Prabha Narayan (Vidya Sinha) at the bus stop in route to work and finds love at first sight for her. Lacking enough courage and unsure if his feelings are reciprocated, he pines for her from afar and follows her around, at a safe distance (or so he thinks). Prabha, fully aware of his affections, secretly relishes his discomfort, while waiting for him to make the first move. Deepa (Nandita Thakur) is Prabha's best friend at work, and with whom she shares everything that happens with Arun. Arun imagines himself being suave and sophisticated and asking Prabha out on date, but the minute he sees her, he is tongue tied and awkward. One day Prabha comes to Arun's company and Arun believes that she has come to complain about his behavior. But it turns out that Prabha has come from Frank Lloyd company to inquire about some missing invoices. This is start of Arun and Prabha's friendship. While Arun is hopelessly stuck, in comes the suave, brash Nagesh Shastri (Asrani), a colleague of Prabha's, and emerges a serious rival for her attention. It doesn't help that he appears to be miles ahead of Arun in the "race" and is all that Arun is not. Nagesh is gregarious while Arun is shy, he's confident and boastful, while Arun is besieged with self-doubt, he's smooth, while Arun is awkward, he's street smart, while Arun's naive, he's assertive while Arun is timid. Plus, Nagesh owns a scooter and ensures that he has opportunities to offer Prabha a ride, while Arun can only look on. Arun gathers the courage to call Prabha at work and to ask her out for lunch. Nagesh butts in when Arun takes Prabha on a date. He bosses around, orders all the food, chats Prabha up, and leaves Arun to pay the bill. Nagesh also invites Prabha to partner with him on the inter office table tennis tournament. Arun even has dreams of shooting down Nagesh in cold blood. A gullible Arun, trying to match Nagesh with a motorbike of his own, is conned into buying a dud (the garage owner had been trying to sell it for 6 months and was even contemplating selling it to a junkyard before Arun came along and was conned into buying it for Rs 3000), further embarrassing him in front of Prabha. Nagesh tells Arun that the bike is not even worth Rs 300. He seeks salvation in astrology, tarot cards, dubious god-men only to land with egg on his face. In desperation, he finally turns to Colonel Julius Nagendranath Wilfred Singh (Ashok Kumar) of Khandala, who has made it his mission to assist those in love find their true destiny. Colonel is famous for having seen the world and people come from all over the country to seek his counsel. The location of Colonel's mansion is a bit of a trek from the railway station of Khandala. It is by design to test the resolve of the person who has come to seek guidance. Colonel Singh agrees to help Arun and thus begins the turnaround as Singh begins to transform Arun into a mature, confident young man through meticulously designed lesson plans, peppered with philosophy and "hands on" training. Training includes stuff like: Chess and Tennis training, how to check if the girl is interested in you, how to be authoritative, how to get the girl from drawing room to bedroom, eating with chopsticks etc. Col Singh tells Arun that he has graduated, and he considers Arun as his own son. He used to love a girl named Prabha and he let her go as he couldn't gather the courage to make her his. He wants Arun to succeed. A "born-again" Arun returns to Bombay with a distinguished swagger, brimming with newly discovered self-esteem, ready to take on the world and win over Prabha. Arun starts using his tricks to frustrate Nagesh, keeps him waiting, gets him to pay for lunch (by switching restaurants on him where Arun has the upper hand and Nagesh doesn't know how to use chopsticks) and so on. At work, he is very firm with his subordinates and gets them to do his bidding. He even convinces the garage that the dud bike he bought is a vintage and a customer willing to make big money on it. The garage buys the bike back and Arun makes a profit on it. Arun also introduces Prabha to Col Singh. Arun also beats Nagesh at Tennis and chess. Nagesh notices Col Singh everywhere. Nagesh finds out Col Singh's truth and his path from drawing room to bedroom in 3 easy steps. Nagesh tells Prabha everything about what Arun is planning to do.

She will have to remove her India traditional wear. A knock on the door will force Prabh in the bedroom, where Arun will push her into having sex with him. Prabha decides to go and see if Arun truly loves her. when Col Singh finds out that Arun has invited Prabha, he rushes to stop him as Prabha really loves him and he doesn't need to play tricks on her. Prabha enters Arun's house and sees all the preps he has made to bed her. Arun lights the match, but can't do this to Prabh and walks out. Prabha smiles. She hugs Arun.
