Synopsis :
The family consists of the head of the household, the heavy-handed, girl-hating, filthy rich Durga Devi (Aroona Irani), (the name being so ironic), her submissive husband Dashrath (Prem Chopra), her father, her three sons, wimpy Ram (Ashok Saraf), whiny Laxman (Laxmikant Berde), and hero Bharat (Govinda) and their wives (the first two of the three sons are married), and a lot of granddaughters, all of whom she refuses to acknowledge. Durga Devi is so angered by her bahus bearing girls (as if, medically-speaking, it is really the bahu's fault.), that she has sent them back to their family's homes, since such incompetent, shameful women are not needed in her home. Maybe she should have sent her own incompetent sons out of the house, since they are the deciding gene contributor to the sex of the child. But hey, that's India for you, it's always the woman's fault. Almost makes you wonder how Durga Devi managed three sons and no daughters, with her attitude...female infanticide, anyone?

Durga Devi is sure that her last-born brat, Bharat, will provide for her a plethora, or at least one, son, giving her the potha she always dreamed of and even got ill due to a lack of one. Bharat falls for, of all people, Rambo, I mean Rambha, as Priya, when they are dancing at some performance (don't you wonder HOW they and their troupes knew exactly one another's steps to coordinate such a well-synchronized dance WITHOUT ever meeting beforehand?). Priya plays the typical poor girl who works in a telephone booth-like store, and he chases her and decides to marry her, with only one problem. Dragon Demon (his mother) isn't going to accept a poor girl into the family for standard reasons we all know about. Hence, he plots with his good friend and neighbor, Mulayamchand (Johnny Lever), a.k.a. private eye. They trick the family into accepting her, even sending dowry from Bharat, through Priya's family, back to Dhaku Devi. D.D. finds out pretty quickly, and makes Priya a slave.

Meanwhile, Devil Devi's two stupid sons, Ram and Laxman (they really should not have misused the names as they did), are going crazy over trying to take over her inheritance, all of whom she will pass on only to her grandson; so smart as they are, they keep the population problem going by repeatingly trying for a son (poor wives!). Bharat comes along with his friend Mulay and enter the race, meaning that both of their wives incidentally get pregnant at the same time. The rest of the movie is predictable... Mulay has a son, Bharat, a daughter, they switch since everyone thinks they are having a son, and amazingly, D.D. gets ill exactly when Priya and Mulay's wife deliver, and miraculously wakes back up to life when her 'grandson' is born and brought to her, Priya is treated by D.D. as a queen, and the rest of the film is made up of how Mulay and his wife, along with Bharat and Priya, work together in crazy antics to keep the truth from Deadly Demon, and how the truth unfolds.
