Plot
Arrested for a wide variety of infringements of the Indian Penal Code, Karan, Kishan and Arjun recount to the court how two of them were adopted and nursed by a saintly woman, Savitri Devi; how they fell in love with Tara, Sheetal and Sagarika respectively; how they took to crime; and how they ended up being arrested by the police and in their present predicament.
After good-hearted Savitri Devi (Sushma Seth) was robbed of her baby by her criminal husband, she started raising orphaned children in an ashram, teaching them about truth and honesty. But not all her children follow this path as grown-ups, like Arjun (Sanjay Dutt) and Kishan (Rajnikant). Society didn't grant them access to a better future because they are orphans and poor, so they took on the criminal path and got in with dubious Champaklal (Kader Khan), whose son Robin (Kiran Kumar) wants to establish a mighty mafia imperium in India.
But Karan (Vinod Khanna), another former foster child of Savitri's, gives them a rough time as Savitri has begged him to save Arjun and Kishan from the path of crime. For this purpose, Karan gets help from his love, tough taxi driver Tara Lele (Dimple Kapadia), and Kishan's and Arjun's girlfriends Sheetal (Kimi Katkar) and Sagarika (Sangeeta Bijlani). When Kishan and Arjun learn some unexpected truths, their aversion for Karan decreases and the three heroes unite to fight for the greater good.
