The movie features the popular and renowned actors Govinda and Raveena Tandon in lead roles. The story of Anari No 1 revolves around Raju (Govinda), who lives a very simple life with his grandmother. He has an immense love for a beautiful girl named Sapna (Simran), but she doesn't reciprocate the same feelings towards him. Raju wants to win Sapna’s heart, but he doesn't have the financial stability to express his affection for her. In contrast, Sapna is a millionaire's daughter and has an extravagant lifestyle.

To impress Sapna, Raju and his friend Monty (Harish) devise a plan to make money by becoming fake godmen. After several failed attempts, Raju comes up with a plan to fool a rich businessman named Dinanath (Satish Kaushik) by pretending to be a famous saint. Raju and Monty successfully dupe Dinanath into believing their pretenses and thus amass a lot of money.

However, Raju’s life takes an unexpected turn when his grandmother discovers their deceitful activities and disapproves of their ways. Raju, guilty of hurting his grandmother, realizes the mistakes he has made and decides to renounce his fraudulent ways.

Just when the things seem to get better, Priti (Raveena Tandon) enters the picture. Priti is a journalist whose sole aim is to expose fake godmen. Raju and Monty's new found success is endangered when they come in the knowledge of Priti's intentions, and they begin getting cold feet.

What follows next is a series of hilarious events in which Raju and Monty try their best to maintain their pretense amidst all the chaos. The story takes a turn when Priti falls in love with Raju, who is unaware of her feelings for him. Things go haywire when the truth about Raju's impersonation is revealed in front of everyone.
