Story
Line: This is the story
of the Gupta family. Embodied with traditional respect for
elders and dignity for self, consists of Mrs. Gupta (Veena),
her elder son Navendru Gupta (Balraj Sahni), Navendru’s wife
Madhvi (Kamini Kaushal); second son Birju Gupta (Prem Chopra);
the third son, Satyan Gupta (Rajesh Khanna); one daughter
Geeta (Kumud Bole), and Navendru’s son, Raju (Junior Mehmood).
The family gets a proposal for marriage from Alloppee Prasad
(Asit Sen) and his wife Bhagwanti (Leela Mishra) for Birju,
which the family accepts. The bride-to-be Neelu (Bindu) has
been abroad and is non-traditional with a broad and outgoing
outlook, and makes this known at the very first meeting with
the Gupta family. Mrs. Gupta does not appreciate this, but
Navendru convinces her, and the marriage takes place. Neelu
has a younger sister, the beautiful and stunning Reena (Mumtaz),
who goes to the same college as Satyan, and both meet amidst
misunderstandings, both comic and embrassing, and eventually
both fall in love with each other. Navendru has taken a loan
of a large sum of money from a money-lender, and when the
time comes to pay, Navendru does not have the money, and Birju’s
wife refuses to share and pay the money to Navendru. Misunderstandings
and quarrels take place in the household, and ultimately Neelu
and Birju move out to their own place. The Gupta family lose
their home to their creditors, whilst Birju and Neelu continue
to live a life of luxury. Meanwhile, Satyan has given up hope
on a happily married life with his sweetheart Reena. How will
the family resolve these problems is best seen in the movie.
