Rich playboy Anupam Verma (Dharmendra) loves flirting and romancing with girls, but as far as marriage is concerned, he has vowed to marry his dream girl, someone like the painting of the girl he once brought from a roadside shop. Anupam lives at his palatial house with Daima (Lalita Pawar), Anupam's nurse maid, and now the matron of the house. Luckily, on a fine day he actually came face to face with his dream girl (Hema Mailini). The face of the painting is not made of colors now, but with flesh. An excited and astonished Anup rushed to her and told her about his feelings. But his dream girl, to his great shock, stole his money (from a briefcase inside Anup's car) and ran away!!! Greatly shaken Anupam now promises to himself to find the girl at any cost, and there is only one clue for finding her, the shop from where he brought the painting. That day Anup was going to meet Khanna for a business deal that was set up by his brother Prem. But due to chasing his dream girl, Anup never made it to the meeting, and Khanna believes that Prem betrayed him. Dream girl's real name is Sapna (Hema Malini) who runs an orphanage & steals from the rich, like Anup, to support her brood. One of her children, Chintoo, is a painter, who made a portrait & sold it to a vendor where Anup bought it. Sapna has a brother, Chandu (Asrani) who supports her in this noble cause. Prem Verma (Prem Chopra) is Anup's cousin brother & has got a girl named Roopa pregnant and forces her to leave the child at Sapna's orphanage. Prem also has debts with a loan shark Khanna, who wants to partner with Anup. Prem has promised to deliver Anup to Khanna in exchange of the debts. Prem wants Anup to sign on the partnership documents with Khanna. The company accountant (S. N. Banerjee) tells Anup that Khanna is selling Anup's goods to multiple parties even without having the goods in possession. So, if Anup signs the deal, the company will not be able to deliver the goods, and it will cost them Rs 8 Lakhs in losses. Anup confronts Prem, but still loves Prem & continues to support him without the knowledge of his grandfather Ashok Verma (Ashok Kumar). Prem is the son of Ashok's daughter, while Anup is Ashok's grandson. Anup sees meeting his dream girl as a good sign, as that prevented him from signing the partnership documents and causing a huge loss to the company. Sapna and Chandu team up to scam rich people out of their money to support the orphanage. Sapna poses as an unmarried mother (with Roopa's baby) and interrupts the wedding to claim that the groom is the father. The groom's father (D. K. Sapru) wants to pay off Sapna, but their family friend Colonel (Satyendra Kapoor) wants the groom to marry Sapna instead. This prompts Sapna and Chandu to run away, and to avoid detection by the police, Chandu hides the kid in a car. The car belongs to Anup, who unknowingly brings the baby home. Chandu and Sapna follow and pose as saints to get the baby back. They claim that the boy is an incarnation of the Lord. They distract Anup and Daima and escape with the baby. Sapna is in financial difficulty & decides to allow adoption of kids to survive. She even gives away Chintoo to Dr Kapoor (Ramesh Deo) (who lives in America and claims that Chintoo's disability can be cured with proper treatment in the US), but then can't see the kids being all sad as one of them is given away. She goes & gets Chintoo back. Ashok admonishes Anup for supporting Prem even when he knows of Prem's association with his hooligan friends. He is also sick of Anup's womanizing ways & wants to marry him off. Anup says he is in love & Ashok wants to meet the girl. Anup meets Sapna when she tries to swindle him again with the car hitting the pram trick. But this time Anup catches her red handed & gets her to pose as Princess Sapna, & his girlfriend in front of Ashok. Ashok is instantly fond of Sapna & refuses for her to leave the house. Now Chandu is caught by Colonel whom they duped earlier & is handed over to police. There is no one at home to care for the kids. The kids wander the streets to find Sapna & finally locate her. But Sapna is forced to refuse them due to the fear of disappointing Ashok & the money promised by Anup, which can pay for the well-being of all the kids. But Anup finds out the truth & helps to bail out Chandu & takes care of the kids. When Sapna finds out, she loves Anup. But Prem also finds Sapna's real identity. He tries to blackmail Sapna for money, but she refuses to play along, even though Prem knows that Sapna was once a call girl by the name of Champabai. Prem reveals the truth at the engagement party for Anup & Sapna. Ashok is furious but finds that Sapna has already left the house leaving a letter behind. Ashok refuses to allow Anup to marry Sapna, but his mind is made. Then Daima reveals that Ashok's son didn't have a son, he had a daughter before both husband and wife died in an accident. Daima wanted to save the wealth from going to Prem's evil dad, so gave the daughter to a woman named Ratna & brought Anup from an orphanage. Prem knows this Ratna & immediately connects that Sapna is Ashok's real granddaughter. Prem finds the real Ratna & pays her to identify Roopa (Alka) as the granddaughter. He then kidnaps Ratna, Sapna & the kids & plans to kill them all to remove all proof against Roopa. But Anup follows & rescues them. Ratna accepts the truth in front of Ashok.

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. Nagesh tells how Arun to invite her to his house. He will be alone and romantic music will be playing. Arun will light a cigarette and drop the match on Prabha. 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. Col Singh and Nagesh arrive, but all is well. Prabha and Arun have decided to get married.
