Plot
Gopi (Govinda) is a simple man from Banaras. He marries a returning emigrant, Madhu (Ramya). He is the family-oriented and loyal. She is a daredevil, happy-go-lucky type. He represents the Indian values. She does not mind taking a dive in the village pond in a bikini. One day it's her birthday party and she starts drinking and dancing. Gopi feels ashamed about his wife being like that. He is angered and slaps her. He recognises his error, but she runs away. She wants to live abroad. He wants to stay with his mother in his village. She walks out on him. Mother wants the daughter-in-law back. He decides to get the bride back, but after teaching her a lesson. He goes to Singapore and other foreign locales to hunt for his runaway bride. They occasionally encounter each other. He makes her pregnant and prevents the doctor from aborting the child. She delivers a baby boy. In the meanwhile, he becomes rich and famous. He leaves with the 15-days-old kid and returns to his village and threatens to remarry. The stage is set for his remarriage, but she reappears and wants the child back. He says if she cannot live without her 15-days-old child, then why did she want to separate his mother from her child?
