'Mr. Bechara' (Anil Kapoor) is a shy printer and, since the passing of his wife, a single father to his infant son--but his quiet life is shattered by the schemes of Dr. Dayanand (the one-and-only Anupam Kher), a medical man with techniques so unorthodox that they border on complete lunacy. Dr. Dayanand has a beautiful amnesiac patient named Asha (Sridevi), and he wants Bechera to pretend to be her husband and her child's father. The two couldn't be more mismatched, yet as time passes, they begin to rely on each other. The doctor's lies begin to spiral out of control, with both humorous and poignant results.—gavin@[email protected]
Widower Anand Verma is the father of an infant son and the owner of a printing press. He is approached by the unorthodox Dr. Dayanand, who has an assignment for him: to masquerade as the husband of his amnesiac patient Asha. Anand agrees to carry out this task until Asha regains her memory, and the two get to know each other and eventually fall in love. They decide to marry, but on their wedding day they're approached by a man named Ajay who claims that Asha is his wife Anita--leaving the couple in a dilemma.—gavin ([email protected])
Known for his unorthodox methods of treatment for his patients, Dr. Daya Anand prescribes a "husband" for an amnesiac woman, who he has named Asha. The prescribed "husband" is a widower, Anand Verma, with a baby son. Anand reluctantly agrees to pose as the husband until Asha's memory returns. They live together and get used to each other. Months go by and she remains an amnesiac, and they decide to get married. On their wedding day a young man named Ajay appears, claiming that the young woman is his wife Anita. Will this bring back her memory? If not, will she accept Ajay as her husband?—rAjOo ([email protected])
Anand Verma (Anil Kapoor), a widower, and father of a child admit a woman into the hospital who had lost her memory. The woman is distraught that she cant remember anything and that nobody in the whole world has come so far to claim her as their own. Since Anand admitted her, the doctor asks him to take care of her until she recovers from amnesia.The doctor Dr. Dayanand Surgery (Anupam Kher) names her Asha (Sridevi), which is the name of Anand's late wife and makes her believe that she is married to Anand and has a child.Mr. Natwarlal "Romeo" (Shakti Kapoor) is a patient at Dr Dayanand's hospital.
Due to the circumstances, Anand has to accept the situation and takes her to his house. Asha insists that she does not remember any incident about her life with Anand. To make her believe it, the doctor lies to her that she has a birthmark in the part of the body only known to her husband. He also places a photograph of hers with the wedding photo of Anand.Asha yet insists that she cannot remember anything but believes that Anand is her husband and she is a mother of his child. Asha has high standards and spends a lot, and Anand is a middle class person.. So Dr Dayanand also supports him financially, so he can take care of Asha and her demands.Anand runs a printing press (for marriage cards) with his assistant Dum Dum (Rakesh Bhanushali), and doesn't have too many customers. Anand is in debt..Natwarlal poses as Asha's father and visits Anand's house. Anand had already told her that her dad is dead, so Natwarlal makes a story about Anand being unhappy about the dowry paid to him for the wedding. He comes to the house when Anand is not around and steals stuff from the house.
Asha starts to live with Anand as his wife, which troubles him a lot as he knows that she is not his wife. Asha insists that Anand recount their married life to him and Anand is forced to tell stories with his real wife Asha (Heera Rajagopal) to the new "wife".. Asha sells all of her jewelry and uses the money to buy new dresses for herself and decorate the house as per her tastes.Anand goes to the police Inspector V. P. Chaturvedi (Tiku Talsania) in desperation to find Asha's real family. But Dr Dayanand feels the timing is not yet right.. he calls the inspector (who is a patient of his) and tells him that Anand is a mental patient and not to take him seriously.
Asha also showers affection on the child and gets attached to it. Asha witnesses a robbery and follows the robbers in the car and helps to arrest them. Police Superintendent (Avtar Gill) meets Asha and recognizes her from a photo of a case that is currently unsolved. But Inspector Chaturvedi intervenes and convinces the SP that Anand is mad and hence not to take him seriously (as he has been to many police stations to file the report).Dr Dayanand remembers how Anand was a life saver at a beach. One day, his real wife Asha had a heart attack, while Dayanand's daughter was drowning on the beach. Anand went to save Dayanand's daughter, and as a result his wife passed away. This is why Dayanand brought Asha and Anand together, so they could support each other.To augment Anand's business, Asha glamorizes herself up and sits at his shop and lures all the customers from the neighboring press, which employed females as honey traps to lure customers. Anand is super upset and slaps Asha for displaying her body to lure lecherous clients. One Day finds a photo of Anand's real wife in the house and assumes she is the mistress. Dr Dayanand has to step-in and reveal that this was a shock treatment to get her memory back and that Anand has no knowledge of it.
But Asha comes to know a situation that whatever is told to her is not true and she is neither married to Anand nor is a mother of the child. when Asha tries to get intimate with Anand, he pushes her away. He begs Dayanand to tell her the truth, but Asha overhears the entire conversation and figures it out by herself.Anand tells her to leave the house, but she says she cannot leave him or his child and wants to be with them forever. Anand is convinced by everybody (Asha had insisted to keep the kid for one last day and that day Anand has an accident which would have killed the child unless Asha had insisted) and finally agrees to marry her. Natwarlal also steps up by saying that he considers Asha as his own daughter and pays off Anand's debts.But Asha has an unknown fear that something might stop their marriage.One day Dr Dayanand goes to see a bungalow that he wants to purchase. The agents has no keys, so he agrees to see the next house to get an idea. Inside the house he finds the photo of Asha with Ajay. Dayanand learns that Asha's real name is Anita and that Ajay is madly in love with her. Ajay gets suspicious that Dayanand knows something and follows Him. Ajay ends up meeting Anand and Anand understands the full story..
On the day of marriage, Asha sees Ajay as a groom, which confuses everyone. The groom sings a song which jogs Asha's memory. She is actually Anita and the groom is her lover named Ajay (Akkineni Nagarjuna). When they were about to marry, they were stopped by goons (led by Anita's brother who was supposed to the match) because of which Anita fell from the mountain, survived with injuries, and had lost her memory. Anita's brother was later arrested by police for assaulting Ajay..
Now that her memory is back, Anand finds Ajay, brings him to Anita, and insists she marry him, as they are both lovers. Anita reluctantly accepts. When Ajay is tying the Mangal Sutra, Anita however stops him. She goes to Anand saying that he may not need her, but she needs him and the child. Seeing that motherly affection has overcome her, Ajay leaves. Anand and Anita finally get married.
