Bade Ghar Ki Beti () is a 1989 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Kalpataru. It stars Rishi Kapoor and Meenakshi Seshadri in pivotal roles.
Plot Mala is the daughter of Kishanlal, who works as a servant for a wealthy family. One day, Mala meets the head of the family, who is so impressed by her that he asks for her hand in marriage for his fourth son, Gopal, which Kishanlal humbly accepts. Mala marries Gopal and moves into their palatial home. While Mala is helpful and sweet-natured, the other three daughters-in-law are quite the opposite.
When misfortune befalls the family, the patriarch passes away. Gopal and Mala move out, leaving Gopal's mother at the mercy of her indifferent sons, Girdhar, Murli, and Manohar, and their abusive wives, who refuse to assist with any household work, virtually forcing their mother-in-law to do all the menial tasks. They neglect her needs even when she falls ill and ultimately throw her out of the house.
Gopal gains popularity as a musician. Meanwhile, his brothers mortgage the family home to a moneylender and decide to live off Gopal, telling him that their mother has gone on a pilgrimage. Gopal eventually discovers the truth and confronts his brothers.
