The film is about misunderstandings between a grandfather and his five grandchildren and how Ravi (Jeetendra), tutor to the grandchildren succeeds in reforming them and marrying Rama (Jaya Bhaduri), eldest of them.
Ravi, being an unemployed young man immediately agrees to tutor the grandchildren of Rai Saheb (Pran), a job arranged by his uncle. His aunt tells him about how the children have made every previous tutor run away. The children led by the eldest, Rama, try to tease Ravi by using their standard tactics. To their surprise, Ravi not only takes them lightly, but also supports them in front of their great aunt, Sati Devi.
They gradually get closer and Ravi even takes them out regularly to play. Ravi and Rama grow close to each other. Ravi finds out the reason of misunderstanding between Rai Sahab and his grandchildren. Ravi somehow manages to sort out the problem.
