- Raja Singh a.k.a. Raja Babu (Govinda) is the sole heir to a rich village couple Kishen and Janki (Kader Khan and Aruna Irani). He is good-Hearted but is also spoiled, unsophisticated, and uneducated (failed 5 times in 5th class). Janki has spoiled Raja with her love and protects her from Kishen who wants Raja to take some responsibility in life. Raja roams around the village aimlessly on his bike. He helps other poor families and sends the bills of his generosity (Like screening a Rs 25K Amitabh movie in the village theatre or Rs 10K to a money lender to not throw out a destitute family or losing money in gambling) to his father Kishen, who is annoyed with his behavior and attitude. Lakhan (Prem Chopra) pretends to be an ally of Raja's rich father (& works as his estate manager), but is secretly embezzling funds. He also creates problems for Raja and his family.
Raja regularly visits the village photo studio and gets his picture taken, each time wearing a different outfit. He is always accompanied by his sidekick Nandu (Shakti Kapoor). He falls for Madhubala "Madhu" (Karishma Kapoor) when he sees her photograph in the studio.
He harasses Madhu (By publishing a fake advert that Madhu is a mad person escaped from the mental asylum) so that he can get her attention. Madhu becomes annoyed with Raja's antics and comes to his village with her entourage. In the ensuing confusion, Madhu's entourage kidnaps the village moneylender Lala Sukhiram (Yunus Parvez), and takes him back to their village. The village gangs up against Madhu and sends their strongmen to defeat Madhu, but Raja steps up and protects Madhu from a certain defeat. But later Madhu figures that Raja had published that advert Then Raja disguises as a widow and enters Madhu's house to get close to her, but he is again caught.
Raja asks Janki and Kishen to approach Madhu's parents for marriage. Madhu sees one of Raja's photos as a lawyer and mistakes his costume as the real thing. She agrees to marry him, but accidentally (She goes to Raja's house to meet him) finds out that Raja is not only not an officer in the Navy, he is also completely illiterate. Enraged at this perceived duplicity, she rushes to Raja's house, tears up their wedding invitations, and insults Raja's father.
Raja still wants to marry Madhu, but his father refuses to grant him permission and tries to compel him to quickly get married to a mentally challenged girl to save his family's honor. Raja refuses as he loves Madhu and ends up insulting the girl's parents Chandra Mohan (Arun Bakshi) & wife Shanti (Beena Banerjee). Angered at this insult, Shanti reveals a big secret regarding Raja's origins. He is actually not his parents biological child, rather he was an orphan found on the steps of a Mandir (Hindu temple), and subsequently adopted by his parents.
Raja becomes overwhelmed with gratitude and decides to do as his father says. In the meantime, Madhu understands that Raja did not deceive her and it was all a misunderstanding. She forgives him and declares her love for him. But Raja tells her about his changed situation and asks her to forget him. Madhu refuses to listen to him and pursues him anyway. Madhu interrupts the wedding by calling the police and telling them that Kishen called off the wedding with Madhu as he wanted more dowry. Raja's father misunderstands his son's intentions and kicks him out for breaking his promise of no longer seeing Madhu.
Taking advantage of this tense situation, Lakhan plans to kill Raja's entire family and take control of their property. Madhu is now living with Raja and Janki, in a hut inside the village as Kishen will not accept them in the house. Lakhan tells Kishen that he should give a week to forsake Madhu to be accepted back in the house, but tells Raja that Kishen has given Madhu a week to improve her behavior and then he will accept her in the house. After a week, the confrontation occurs and Lakhan goes back on his word and says he always told Raja to fore-sake Madhu. Kishen feels further insulted.
Then Lakhan gets Kishen to adopt his son Amavas Singh (Sameer Khakhar), and get Chandrmohan's daughter to be married to him. Amavas is also designated as the heir of Kishen's entire wealth and property. Janki is super upset at this as curses Kishen. Raja then plays a prank to bring Kishen and Janki together and get them to realize their love for each other. Then he pretends in front of Lakhan that Kishen has taken him back and restored his property rights. Lakhan along with his son Banke (Gulshan Grover) kidnap Raja's parents. Raja rushes to rescue them. After a long fight, he manages to defeat his family's enemies. His father finally understands his son's deep love and respect for him and agrees to let him unite with Madhu.
