[edit] Story

The film is about two pairs of identical twins separated at birth and how the circumstances go haywire when they meet in adulthood.

Raj Tilak and his wife are on a trip with their twins sons whom they call Ashok. Since they look the same they should be called the same is Mr Tilak's reasoning. As fate would have it, they adopt another set of twins whom they call Bahadur. An unfortunate accident then divide the family leaving each parent with one child each.

A few years later Ashok (Sanjeev Kumar) is married to Sudha (Moushmi Chatterjee) and Bahadur (Deven Verma) is married to Prema (Aruna Irani). They and Sudha's sister Tanu (Deepti Naval) all stay together. Into their lives enter the other Ashok, a detective novel aficionado, and Bahadur, a bhang lover. Now there are two Ashoks and Bahadurs in the same city which is more than what their family, the Inspector, Jeweler, Taxi Driver and themselves can handle.
