Plot
Gautam (Sachin Pilgaonkar) and Phalgun (Ashok Saraf) are childhood friends residing in the bungalow of Gautam's another childhood friend, Shrikant Dalvi (Chetan Dalvi). The duo is desperately in need of a huge sum of money because Gautam, who is a bar waiter, needs to pay for the leg surgery of his crippled younger brother, Suhas (Dhruv Ghanekar), while Phalgun, who is a office clerk, needs to pay off all his debts to his creditors. However, Gautam and Phalgun has no means to receive the money by honesty and legal ways and at the last resort, the duo unwillingly plans to perform their first act of dishonesty and kidnap Kalpana (Varsha Usgaonkar), the daughter of wealthy businessman Dadasaheb Korde (Shrikant Moghe). The duo decides to put their plan into action in a foolproof way and executes the kidnapping of Kalpana successfully and perfectly. However, Gautam and Phalgun are both surprised to discover Kalpana's father is not ready to pay out even a penny for the ransom, seeing through their true nature, and has already sent Inspector Phutane (Satish Shah) and crime lord Ganu Pailwan (Viju Khote) to investigate the matter.

To add to the duo's miseries, Kalpana is not a model victim of kidnapping either and dominates Gautam and Phalgun throughout the film. She even treats the duo like her servants and instructs them both to not leave the bungalow where she is imprisoned otherwise she will escape. The situation is further complicated when Mama (Sudhir Joshi), Shrikant's uncle and the owner of the bungalow, arrives from Dubai to stay at the bungalow for a day, followed by Inspector Phutane in search of Gautam and Phalgun. However, Kalpana acts as Gautam'a wife in front of Mama and Phalgun's wife in front of Inspector Phutane in order to cooperate with the duo to obtain money from her father. One day, Gautam receives a letter from Shrikant informing that he has made the job arrangements of him and Phalgun in Delhi. Gautam and Phalgun are both extremely delighted with this news and disregard Kalpana's existence stating that she is now free to return home.

However, a heartbroken Kalpana slaps Gautam and confesses that she has feelings for him, which was the sole reason of her cooperative stay with him at the bungalow. Gautam reciprocates Kalpana's feelings while Phalgun also returns home to reunite with his wife, Ashwini (Charusheela Sable). Kalpana decides to drop Gautam, Phalgun and Ashwini off at the railway station, but Kalpana's car is spotted and pursued on the way by Ganu Pahelwan and his henchmen. Ganu Pahelwan eventually manages to capture Gautam and Phalgun and presents them both as guilty to Kalpana's father. However, Kalpana arrives and narrates a fake story that Gautam and Phalgun had instead rescued her from her kidnappers and expresses her wish to marry Gautam. Despite this, Gautam intervenes and confesses the truth to Kalpana's father, who forgives him and approves of his marriage with Kalpana by citing Gautam's honesty and courage. Meanwhile, Gautam is surprised to learn that Kalpana has already paid for the leg surgery of Suhas before her father also makes the job arrangements for Gautam and Phalgun.
