- Pandit Shaadiram Gharjore is a village match-maker. When he takes some guy's family to see Malti, Hoshyaarchand (her father) insult the family and throw them out, saying he wants a son-in-law at least 40 times wealthier than he. Panditji is so humiliated that he vows to do something about Hoshyaarchand's ego. This is where the story begins. Panditji goes to his friend, Raju (Coolie No. 1) (who, by the way, has fallen in love with this rich girl since he saw her picture before panditji took the random guy's family to see her), and convinces him to pretend to be the son of the richest man in Asia. After a lot of bootlicking on the part of Hoshyaarchand, Malti and Raju get married. The rest of the film revolves around upholding this bit of deception, and gets quite interesting.... :)—Gita Lal <trinetri@i-2000.com>

- Shaadiram Gharjode (Sadashiv Amrapurkar), a matchmaker, is once humiliated by Hoshiyar Chand (Kader Khan) when Shaadiram goes to inform him about a family wanting to marry their son to Hoshiyar's daughter. Hoshiyar Chand insults them as he wants both his daughters to marry into the richest family. Goverdhan (Shakti Kapoor) is Chand's brother-in-law. Chand's mother (Shammi) is not supportive of his dismissive attitude towards prospective grooms and their families.
Raju is a coolie, but an honest one. One Day he stops a guy (Mahesh Anand), who was running from the police and turns him over to the authorities. His suitcases had money stuffed into it. The guy warns Raju of his vengeance. Shaadiram Gharjode had met Raju at the bus station, when he had saved Shaadiram and his client from local ruffians who wanted to loot them. Raju gave all the money back to Shaadiram and his client.
Gharjode decides to teach Hoshiyar Chand a lesson: He meets a coolie called Raju (Govinda) and they go to Hoshiyar Chand's village pretending to be a rich family. Hoshiyar is impressed and he wants his daughter Malti (Karisma Kapoor) to marry Raju. Chand's eyes light up when he comes to know about Raju and his wealth, and he readily agrees to have Malti marry him. Malti had earlier met with Raju, and both fall in love with each other. They get married. Goverdhan goes with Raju and Malti to live in Raju's new house.
Raju pretends that his rich father is not accepting "poor" Malti as his Bahu and has kicked them both out of their house. Shaadiram arranges a Kholi for them to live in and tell Malti that Raju has put a court case on his father to ask for his fair share of the family wealth. Malti accepts her new life with grace and humility. In addition, Shaadiram and Deepak (Raju's friend) confuse Goverdhan and leave him on the streets of Mumbai to fend for himself. It is only after the marriage that Chand finds out that Raju is really a poor coolie. Chand comes to Mumbai to meet Malti and finds Raju working as a Coolie at the bus station.
Raju convinces Chand that the Coolie is his long-lost twin brother & pretends that he has a fight with his father & has been kicked out of house to live in a poor neighborhood. Hoshiyaar now plots to get his 2nd daughter Shalini married to the Raju's twin brother, but Shalini loves Raju's mechanic's friend Deepak (Harish Kumar). To entice the Coolie twin brother, Chand offers him an apartment and a taxi for income.
Chand forces Coolie to stay with him at the apartment, but then Malti comes crying that Raju hasn't returned home. Raju finds it very difficult to play this double role. Chand gets suspicious, so he sends Coolie and Shalini for a movie, and goes to see Raju with Malti. Unknown to him Coolie had handed over Shalini to Deepak and he went to be with Malti instead. Chand is satisfied that Raju/Coolie are not the same person.
Soon, Shalini is pregnant. At the same time Coolie has written a letter to Chand that he is not worthy of his daughter and is leaving. Chand blames Coolie for making Shalini pregnant, which Raju knows is not true. Chand goes to Gajendra to complain and Gajendra's manager figures that Chand thinks Gajendra has 2 sons. The Manager is in cahoots with Gajendra's son.
Raju had rented a big bungalow to show to Hoshiar before the wedding (This bungalow is usually rented out for film shootings). That bungalow belonged to a rich dude Gajendra (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) whose son was a criminal (Mahesh Anand) whom Raju helped arrest. Gajendra kicks his son out when he figures that his own son is a criminal and convict. Gajendra's Son figures out Raju's deception to Hoshiar & traps him in a plot to kill his own dad. Gajendra's manager lures Raju to Gajendra's house where he finds Gajendra's stabbed body. Raju is stopped by his manager and his son, who hand him over to the police. Raju escapes. Gajendra is still alive, whom police take to the hospital.
Hoshiar realizes the deception when police tell him that Raju is a murder suspect & has no twins. Raju saves Gajendra from his son, who again tries to kill him after Gajendra survives the first attack. Before this Malti sees Raju, Deepak and Shalini together and finds that Shalini is carrying Deepak's child and Raju is against Shalini getting an abortion. Gajendra adopts Raju & Deepak as his sons & Hoshiar is happy.
