Ravi Kumar Distributed by-Dharma Productions Release dates-February 1, 1991 Running time-171 mins Country India Language-Hindi All round bad guy Bakhtawar (Danny Denzongpa) rules over the docks in Mumbai, treating his workers as slaves and killing anyone who dares to go against his despotic will. Despite his general dissatisfaction with this regime, Tiger (Amitabh Bachchan) the leader of workers extorts money from the workers for his father Pratap (Deepak Shirke), who in turn works as an enforcer for Bakhtawar and struggles to keep the peace between his son and his employer. Tiger is in love with Jumma (Kimi Katkar) and the two have a rather stormy relationship, although we don’t get to see very much of them on-screen together. In the confusion Girdhar and his faithful sidekick Havaldar Arjun Singh(Annu Kapoor) break into Bakhtawar’s safe and steal everything. To cover up their crime they set fire to Bakhtawar’s house, killing his wife and children in the process. At the same time they arrest Bakhtawar and send him to jail. Tiger gets on the train, but Jumma refuses to come with them and she says to Tiger the children's future is important than their future and she will wait for him her whole life. Finally Girdhar blows up the train carrying Tiger and his brothers to eliminate any possible witnesses of his crime. An older Tiger wakes up from the dream who goes by the name of Shekhar and is a respectable farmer and timber merchant in Ooty. Kumar (Rajnikanth) is a police officer and is married to Aarti (Deepa Sahi) with a young daughter Jyoti (Sanjana). The youngest brother Vijay (Govinda) is a student pursuing Anita (Shilpa Shirodkar), the beautiful daughter of General Rana Pratap Singh (Kader Khan). Neither of the two brothers seems to have any memory of their time in Mumbai and both regard their step-brother as a rather staid and authoritarian figure, whose rules they generally ignore. Meanwhile, Jumma has managed to overcome her early life and is now a successful actress while Girdhar and Havaldar are living well on their stolen riches and selling tanks from their base in Bombay. The middle part of the film tends to drag as it concentrates on the unity of the family and a rather involved romance track with Vijay and Anita. Shekhar and his family likes Anitha and they decides to ask hands of her from her Parents. But they refuse the proposal and insults Shekhar and his family. Anitha's Parents decide to set Her Marriage and they take her to Bangalore. In the mean time Girdhar finds a man Chittor (Kader Khan) look alike Rana Pratap Singh as the original has refused to buy his tanks. Bhaktwar tells Aarti and Jyothi tells the truth about Shekhar and also tells to Kumar on the Phone. Kumar goes to the police station and finds the true identity of Shekhar. In the mean time Shekhar arrives at Bombai and meets with Jumma. Giridhar shoots Baktawar and threatens Shekhar. Kumar, Vijay, Jumma and Anitha arrives there. Kumar carries Aarti and drops her into the sea. Giridhar press the bomb's button which defuses. Kumar rescues Aarti jumping into the water. There happens a fight between Giridhar's men and the brothers. Giridhar tries to escape which is protested by Shekhar. The Army and Police arrives there and arrests the goons. Giridhar drags Jyoti and threatens everyone with pointing a gun. The shot Baktwar who is not dead ties a bomb over Giridhar's leg. Vijay grabs the gun, Kumar takes Jyoti and Shekhar throws Giridhar on the top of Baktawar. Both Baktawar and Giridhar die. The film ends with the family happily united.
