Plot
The Deshmukhs and Inamdars are neighbours residing side-by-side. In the Inamdar household, the matriarch Maasaheb (Daya Dongre) wields strict control with an iron fist and enforces discipline. On the contrary, the Deshmukh clan adopts a freewheeling lifestyle from the patriarch Bhaurao Deshmukh (Shrikant Moghe), indifferent to the judgements of others. In an intriguing twist, Jairam (Sachin Pilgaonkar), a key figure in the Deshmukh household, and Chameli (Supriya Pilgaonkar), the maid employed by the Inamdars, hatch a plan with the help of Mr. Deshmukh's wife, Mrs. Deshmukh (Ashalata Wabgaonkar), and Maasaheb's widowed son, Nanasaheb (Jairam Kulkarni). Their goal is to bridge the gap between these two contrasting families, by making the Inamdars' son, Balasaheb (Ashok Saraf), fall in love with the Deshmukhs' daughter, Rashmi (Neelima Parandekar), and the Inamdars' daughter, Kaladevi (Nivedita Joshi), with the Deshmukhs' son, Ramesh (Sanjay Jog), aiming to bring about a resolution to their longstanding differences once and for all.
