The story revolves around seven unsophisticated brothers who all are transformed by Indu (Hema Malini) the wife of the eldest brother Ravi Anand (Amitabh Bachchan).

Then Babu falls in love with Seema adding to the complications. The story of the film was adapted from the American film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), which is based on the short story "The Sobbin' Women" by Stephen Vincent Benét, which was based in turn on the ancient Roman legend of the Rape of the Sabine women.^[2]
