Plot
Ajay Chandra, a young man (Amitabh Bachchan), has big dreams. He falls for Aruna Khosla, a rich girl (Moushumi Chaterjee). She also reciprocates his feelings. He pretends to be rich not to disappoint her and takes help from his friend Prakash Mariwalla who was a Chartered Accountant, for suit, car and flat, claiming all as his own. He wants to start a galvanometer business by buying old ones and refurbishing them to workable ones with the help of Anokhelal. Unfortunately, the big cats try to buy him out, but Ajay doesn't budge. So, they buy Anokhelal by bribing him with money for his daughters wedding. This leads to a big failure for Ajay, whose mother Mrs. Chandra (Lalita Pawar) has to give the insurance money to her son to bail him out. It still doesn't work and Ajay is taken to court by Mr. Khosla, a lawyer. Mrs. Chandra encourages her son to repair the galvanometers himself and when he falls short of money, sells her gold jewellery. The prosecutor withdraws the case as the galvanometers are now repaired. His friend C.A Prakash Mariwalla also helps him with ten thousand rupees in disguise of an order.
