Summary: Rahul Malhotra (Khan) abandons his studies to
become the guardian of his sister’s three
orphaned, but mischievous and undisciplined,
children and to manage the family factory. The
factory is in debt to the film’s villain, the Sindhi
businessman Bijlani (Tahil), whose daughter
Maya (Nishan) loves Rahul. Unknown to Rahul,
the children offer shelter to Vaidehi (Chawla),
who has run away from her authoritarian and
caste-conscious father Iyer (Chandran). Rahul
hires her as a governess and falls in love with
her. Maya’s plot to exploit her father’s control
over Rahul’s business to blackmail him into
marrying her, fails when the children claim that
Vaidehi is in fact their ‘mother’. In the end,
Bijlani’s revenge, as he tries to have Rahul’s
house auctioned, is intercut with Rahul’s effort
to defeat some gangsters and deliver the
factory goods that will enable him to pay off
Bijlani. The low-budget ‘family movie’ was the
unexpected hit of the year and reports
circulated that Khan, who shares a script credit,
had in fact directed the film which was
produced by his family concern.
