Twins separated at infancy are brought up differently. One weak, one strong. One day, they end up at each others house. Their life is not the same anymore.
Anju and Manju, identical twins separated at birth. Born to a rich father who is paralyzed, they are brought up in totally contrasting environments. Anju is brought up in her father's house, bullied by her stepmother and her brother. She is constantly terrorized by them and often ends up in tears. Manju is a street smart girl, dancing in a hotel and ready to take on the world. They accidentally exchange places; Anju lands up in Manju's house and Manju in her father's palatial house. She takes up cudgels on behalf of the down trodden and soon discovers that she has a twin. She soon turns tables on Hattangadi and Kher.—gavin@sunny_deol2009@yahoo.com

Anju lives with her Uncle, Tribhuvan and aunt, Amba, who abuse her both physically and emotionally all the time, and also keep her drugged, so she is dependent on them all the time. They live in a big mansion, and therefore, Anju is forced to do all the housework. Anju's passion is dancing and her Uncle prevents her from perusing this. Dayal does his best to protect Anju from the frequent beatings. Meet Anju's look-a-like, who lives in small tenement, drinks beer, fights with men, dances, lies, amongst other things. Manju's mom has psychological problems and is hospitalized, and Manju's friend is Jaggu, who is quiet and soft-spoken, and will only get into a fight to protect Manju. Tribhuvan's friend's name is Vishwananth, who wants his son, Suraj to marry Anju. Suraj is a lot like Manju, and he has even met Manju in the beer bar, and thinks the photograph of Anju is Manju. And on the other hand Tribhuvan and Amba want Anju to marry Batuknath Lalanprasad Maalpani, who is the nephew of Amba. One day Anju and Manju are taken for each other and what results is absolute chaos, as each try to fit into the other's shoes.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
Born as twin sisters, Anju (Sridevi) and Manju (Sridevi) are separated immediately after birth thanks to their mentally handicapped nanny Madhumati (Aruna Irani), who runs away with Manju when she was 6 months old.Their parents are devastated at the loss of Manju and lose all interest in managing their rich and vast estate. They call Manju's father's younger brother Tribhuvan from the village to take care of the mansion and the business. Tribhuvan wanted his brother's wealth and started to conspire.
Their parents were killed in a car accident (when Anju was 10 years old) orchestrated by Tribhuvan.Anju ends up with her uncle Tribhuvan (Anupam Kher) and Tribhuvan's sister-in-law Amba (Rohini Hattangadi), while Manju is raised in a slum environment.
Tribhuvan tried to kill Anju as well but was stopped by Amba. In their will, the parents of Anju and Manju had declared that their daughters will inherit their wealth once the twins turn 21 (if they die before that, the wealth goes into a trust). Tribhuvan had to concede this point and took his frustration out on Anju by constantly hitting her and treating her worse than a maid in her own house.
This results in Tribhuvan and Amba bringing Anju up as a coy and easily frightened girl (by giving her regular drug injections), merely keeping her alive so she can sign off the property in their name. The only time she is allowed to step out of the house is to accompany Tribhuvan to the bank and help him withdraw her monthly trust allowance which he keeps in Amba's control.The house servant Dayal "Dadda" Sharma (Annu Kapoor), Anju's younger brother Raja (Aftab Shivdasani) and a pet dog sympathize with her plight.
Anju likes classical dance and is unable to resist the urge to dance whenever she hears Indian classical music. On his birthday, Tribhuvan hosts a grand party. Among the several guests attending is his friend Vishwanath (Saeed Jaffrey), who is generally kind towards Anju. When Indian classical music plays at the party, Anju is unable to resist and bursts out dancing but ends up accidentally slapping Tribhuvan. Although calm at the party, he beats Anju mercilessly with a whip the next day.
On the other hand, Manju grows up in a slum as a happy-go-lucky and street-smart stage dancer. She spends her days tricking people in the village to forgo her loans and is childhood friends with her neighbor and taxi driver Jackie "Jaggu" Pandyekar (Rajnikanth). Jaggu is constantly rescuing Manju from trouble as she mixes with the wrong crowds while dancing at bars.Madhumati is in a mental hospital and Manju's truth has not yet been revealed to her.
One night Manju crashes into a bar to drink beer where she meets and flirts with Suraj (Sunny Deol), Viswanath's son. Suraj soon falls for her after just a single meeting. Vishwanath has been pestering Suraj to get married for a while now and one day, when he shows him Anju's photo as a prospective marriage offer, he agrees, mistaking her to be Manju. When they visit Tribhuvan's place with their offer, Anju doesn't recognize Suraj and has a panic attack (courtesy of the injections given to her by Amba), which scare Suraj and Vishwanath away.
The reason Tribhuvan and Amba refuse to attend to marriage offers for Anju is because they want to get her married to Amba's brother Batuknath Lallanprasad Maalpani AKA Balma (Shakti Kapoor). They call Balma to live with them, who soon begins sexually harassing Anju and kills her pet dog when he leaps to her defense. Anju overhears Amba telling Balma that once Anju turns 21 and signs over the property papers, Balma can do whatever he wants with her.Terrified at the turn of events, Anju runs away from home. On her way, she is harassed by strangers until Suraj saves her.That same day, Manju has a fight with Jaggu and she sets off on her own path. Manju was drunk and so Jaggu followed her. He ran into Suraj who was fighting the goons harassing Anju. In a twist of fate, their paths end up crossing and while the two never meet, they end up exchanging places.
While Anju escapes, Manju reaches the location where Jaggu and Suraj are fighting the goons. Suraj is stabbed in the arm, and Jaggu leaves to bring his taxi (to take him to the hospital), while Manju stays with Suraj.Thus, an injured Suraj is brought to Anju's house by Manju (who was seen on the streets by Tribhuvan and Amba), while Anju ends up at Manju's slum with Jaggu. Manju falls in love with Suraj.
Manju is easily able to assert control over Tribhuvan, Amba and Balma. While the trio mistake her for Anju and assume her to be weak, Manju surprises them by displaying strength and aggression and has them under control. Meanwhile, Anju starts getting close to Jaggu, who starts falling for the new "Manju". The new "Manju" is shy, clean, cultured and an ideal wife. He proposes marriage to her, to which she agrees.Suraj sees Anju with Jaggu and thinks Manju is two-timing them and breaks up with her.
The two sisters live their life comfortably until one day, Balma spots Anju at Manju's place and deduces that the one in their house is her twin sister Manju. He hatches a plan and kidnaps Anju, taking her to a bungalow at Alibaug. One of Jaggu's friends overhears Balma speaking to Tribhuvan on the phone and informs Manju, Suraj and Jaggu, who finally understand what's going on. They arrive at the bungalow where Tribhuvan forces Anju to drink poison (after signing the will transferring all assets to Tribhuvan, on her 21st birthday) and also has their nanny captive. Suraj, Manju and Jaggu fight Tribhuvan's goons and save Anju, who finally gets to share a tender moment with Manju. She is taken to the hospital and survives.
Finally, Suraj marries Manju while Jaggu ends up with Anju and they live happily ever after. They are both blessed with twin girls that are born on the same day.
