[edit] Plot
The film revolves around Professor Parimal Tripathi (Dharmendra), a botany professor who falls in love with and marries his sweetheart Sulekha (Sharmila Tagore). Parimal is a rather humorous person who loves making pranks, an antithesis of regular professors. Sulekha, on the other hand is much morer impressed by her jijaji (brother-in-law) Raghavendra (Om Prakash). She considers him as a highly intellectual person and as her idol. Parimal, fuelled by the exceesive praise of jijaji from Sulekha and a high inferiority complex, as he himself is an intelligent man decides to make a fool out of jijaji to prove a point to Sulekha. To add to it, jijaji's current need for a pure Hindi-speaking driver flashes a bulb in Parimal's mind. Parimal decides to become Pyaremohan Illahbadi, a motor mouth driver who pretends to hate the English language and speak only Hindi. Now begins the comedy of errors, as Parimil and Sulekha play prank after prank.
First they pretend that Sulekha is not happy in her new marriage, then they put across the impression that Sulekha is having an affair with Pyaremohan, the driver, and if that was not enough they get Parimal’s long time friend SuKumar Sinha (Amitabh Bachchan), who is also a Professor, but of English literature, to temporarily act like a serious and boring lecturer, the complete opposite of reality. But as it happens, Suv falls in love with Vasudha (Jaya Bachchan) who thinks that Suv Kumar is in fact Parimal. The film revolves around the resolution of these funny mishaps.
