This film is the story of seven brothers living in a large farmhouse. The first half of the movie shows the life of the brothers who grew up under their elder brother Ravi (Amitabh Bachchan)'s helm, parentless and living like animals in their adult life, yet sustaining their livelihood by farming. Ravi falls in love and gets married to a nurse named Indu (Hema Malini) through a series of romancing plots. The brothers (All including Ravi until he fell in love were misogynists) and the new woman in their lives adjust with each other and she civilizes them. Suddenly they all fall in love with a group of six women and shortly after things take a turn for the worse.
The group of women is also attracted to them, however there is another woman among them who is a physically disabled girl named Seema Singh (Ranjeeta) who is still single. She happens to be Ranjit Singh's (Amjad Khan) niece. Since the niece has recently turned twenty one, the uncle wants the niece dead so that he can claim all her wealth. The following part of the movie involves plots by the uncle to kill her, which involve the use of Ravi's look-alike (played again by Amitabh Bachchan as Babu) and replacing Ravi with Babu while Ravi is held captive in Ranjit Singh's huge fortress. How the brothers come to Ravi's aid once he is kidnapped and replaced by Babu and if Seema will ever be able to see the end to all this, makes up the rest of the movie.
