Satte Pe Satta 1982

Satte Pe Satta weaves a sprawling family drama around a large, unruly brood living on a rustic farmhouse, where animals roam the yard and the daily rhythm is defined by hard work, hearty brawls, and stubborn pride. At the center stands Ravi Anand, portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan, the eldest brother and the family’s steady, protective pillar. He leads with a firm hand, often stepping between his siblings and the rough edges of life, especially shielding his youngest brother Shani Anand, who is brought to life by [Sachin Khedekar]. Together, Ravi and Shani anchor a clan that is rowdy, unsophisticated, and fiercely loyal, yet ultimately capable of forgiveness and unity when tested by fate.

Ravi’s world shifts when he falls in love with Indu, a hospital nurse played by Hema Malini. Indu enters the household with caution, unsettled by Ravi’s wild ways and his unkempt appearance, yet her warmth and patience gradually soften the edges of the entire family. To win her, Ravi, aided by Shani, crafts a ruse designed to present Ravi as a younger brother, a deception that temporarily smooths edgier relationships and wins Indu’s affection. Eventually, Indu and Ravi marry, and a new chapter begins.

After the wedding, Indu discovers that the farmhouse holds not three, but six more brothers—Som, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, and Shani—each with their own rough manners and comic misadventures. Indu’s patient influence begins the long process of civilizing them, and she proves to be a steady partner in their journey toward gentler living. In a parallel strand, six sisters arrive at the seaside, each drawn to one of the brothers, and romance blossoms on both sides. These sisters, in turn, become custodians of Seema Singh, a wealthy heiress who is paralyzed and unable to walk.

Seema’s uncle, Ranjit Singh, is a schemer who will stop at nothing to claim Seema’s inheritance. To realize his plan, he frees a prisoner named Babu Sharma and hires him to murder Seema. The plot thickens when Ravi encounters Babu—who is a perfect doppelgänger for him—and is replaced by Babu in his own home. The impersonation unfolds with Babu moving into Ravi’s life, an arrangement that takes Indu by surprise when she discovers she is pregnant, yet accepts the new, unexpected presence as part of their family. The family begins to sense trouble, and Ravi’s peace is threatened as Ranjit intensifies his vendetta.

Babu’s growing guilt strains his dalliance with Seema, who discovers that a new hope is rising within her as she suddenly regains the ability to walk after a shocking turn of events. Yet the emotional conflict intensifies, and during Karva Chauth, Babu finally reveals his true identity and Ranjit’s darker intentions to the entire clan. Shanu forgives him, recognizing his reform and the fact that Indu remains the motherly figure to the brothers. Babu pledges that, whether he lives or not, Ravi’s life will be protected.

The next act moves to a tense island confrontation, where Babu and the brothers confront Ranjit in a bid to free Ravi. Ranjit’s cleverness nearly outmaneuvers them, and Ravi suffers a brutal beating. Yet the brothers rally around Ravi, repeating their unbreakable family motto as a source of courage. With renewed resolve, Ravi rises to the challenge and defeats Ranjit, rejoining his brothers in triumph. The outcome is bittersweet: Babu decides to leave, and Seema’s heart is broken as her condition flickers again when she loses her walking ability. In a dramatic gesture, Babu uses a dagger to help Seema stand, restoring her mobility as Ravi is reunited with Indu. The film closes on a jubilant note, with eight couples embracing in happiness as the brothers marry their respective loves and a united family looks toward a hopeful future.
