Dhoom Dhadaka

Synopsis

Dhanaji Wakade is an arrogant and greedy industrialist. Seema and Gauri are his daughters and Laxmikant is his son. Mahesh Javalkar is an employee in his company. Gauri and Mahesh decide to marry but Dhanaji does not approve his daughter getting married to someone below his social status. Dhanaji's son Laxmikant is an aspiring film maker and desires to marry the daughter of Mr. Rede who too is not as rich as Dhanaji.

To overcome Dhanaji's resistance, Mahesh decides to take help of his friend Ashok. They decide that Ashok would disguise himself as a very rich old man and introduce himself to Dhanaji as Mahesh's father. They know that Dhanaji would be impressed by his show of wealth and allow his daughter to marry Mahesh. When disguised Ashok reaches Dhanaji's house he notices that Dhanaji is father of Seema. Ashok and Seema already know each other and desire to marry each other. Ashok discloses his identity to Seema. Mahesh discloses Ashok's identity to Gauri. Laxmikant too discovers Ashok's truth accidentally. Disguised Ashok tells Dhanaji that he wants to marry his elder daughter Seema. Dhanaji is so impressed by the (claimed) wealth of disguised Ashok that he agrees to his proposal.

Ashok's father is a friend of Dhanaji. He arrives at Dhanaji's town for some business purpose and halts at Dhanaji's house, but he does not recognize Ashok who is in disguise as an old bearded man. After some time Mahesh's father arrives at Dhanaji's house because he hasn't received any news from Mahesh for past few months. Now Dhanaji is confronted with two fathers of Mahesh. When Mahesh arrives at Dhanaji's house, he points at Ashok as his real father because he does not want to put his marriage plan in danger. Dhanaji hands over Mahesh's real father to police thinking him to be an imposter. Ashok guesses that the police would easily confirm the identity of Mahesh's father and then Ashok and Mahesh would be considered as frauds. So Mahesh, Ashok, Seema and Gauri elope in Mahesh's vehicle. They are joined by Laxmikant and Rede's daughter who also want to get married against their parents' wish. When Dhanaji notices their absence, he chases Mahesh's vehicle. He is accompanied by Ashok's father and Mahesh's father. Mahesh's vehicle takes a turn which Dhanaji doesn't notice and they start chasing another similar vehicle which is occupied by thieves. Chasing the thieves they reach the hiding place of the thieves. There the thieves attack them but Ashok, Mahesh and Laxmikant reach there on time and overpower the thieves. Police arrives and arrests the thieves. Dhanaji realises his folly and allows his three children to marry as per their choice.

The story of this film is similar to that of the Hindi film Pyar Kiye Jaa (1966) which itself was based on the Tamil comedy Kaadhalikka Neramillai (1964) which was remade into a Telugu movie as Preminchi Choodu (1965).
