Wealthy Dyaneshwarprasad Pitamber has a problem, to be precise four problems - his four uncontrollable daughters, named after four goddesses: Lakshmi, Saraswati, Parvati, and Durga, who refuse to be disciplined, and be married. Pitamber arranges for Raju Patel to come from the U.S. and marry at least one of his daughters. Unfortunately, Raju is waylaid at the airport by two con men, Raja and Kanhaiya, and his luggage, clothes, and ID are taken over by them, and he is left in barely basic clothing at the airport, mistaken for a beggar. Raja assumes the identity of Raju, and Kanhaiya accompanies him to Pitamber's house. Once there, they are welcomed with open arms by Pitamber, and Raja agrees to all conditions set up by Pitamber and his daughters in order to get married and inherent part of the vast wealth and fortune. Sensing something wrong somewhere, Pitamber asks Raja to locate three other grooms for his three daughters also, otherwise, no marriage will take place, as he wants all four daughters to be married at the same time. With all four refusing to marry anyone, it looks like Raja and Kanhaiya have a lot on their hands, apart from hiding from notorious criminal Pappu Anna, who has sworn to kill them for making him suffer a huge financial loss.
Raja then somehow help Parvati get back his love Ravi and after knowing the past of Saraswati that in college days, a gangster's brother flirts and tries to rape her and no men helped her to get him(gangster's brother) punished. Raja then went to him with Kanhaiya and later he(gangster's brother) apologize to Saraswati and she get impressed to Kanhaiya. Raja have an idea to get Lakshmi married and get 10 crore(5 crore from raja's marriage and another 5 crore from Kanhaiya's). He calls the original Raju Patel and convinced him to marry Lakshmi.
In the end, Pitembar finds out that raja is a fraud but forgives her and all the 4 grooms and brides got married.
