Plot[edit]
The film begins on Diwali night when Rajaram, a heinous man, subjects his wife, Durga, and children, Lakhan, Shera, and Aasha, to various tortures. Spotting it, his partner Kishorilal decides to terminate him. Hence, Rajaram ruses with his acolyte Mohanlal Verma and slays Kishorilal. Whereat, his daughter Geeta runs away with her infant brother Suraj to their governess Savitri. Afterward, they detach, Savitri safeguards Suraj, and a courtesan adopts Geeta. Being cognizant of her husband’s cold-heartedness, Durga quits with the kids. Tragically, they are attacked by bandits headed by Daku Zaalim Singh. In that mayhem, the family splits, Lakhan flees, killing a person, and Shera is reared by Zaalim Singh, whom he requires, whereas Aasha retains with her mother.
Years roll by, and Lakhan becomes a justice-seeking dacoit adored as a deity by the destitute. He also locates his mother & sister, Aasha, a law student. Shera, a dreadful dacoit at this hour, knocks out Zaalim Singh. Knowing it, his daughter Bijili seeks to kill Shera but backs her as she dearly loves him. Lakhan & Shera contradict as they are unbeknownst, and Inspector Amar Verma, the son of Mohanlal, gallantly challenges them. Geeta grows up with revenge; twice, she is acquainted with Amar, and they fall in love. Fortuitously, she recognizes her brother Suraj and learns about his crush on Aasha but stands back. In tandem, Rajaram & Mohanlal became notorious. Once, Amar was surprised to view Geeta as a dancer, which distressed him. Nevertheless, he confirms to marry her.
Coincidentally, Shera spots covets for Geeta and abducts her when Lakhan safeguards her. The next, his henchman, Kallu, tries to molest her. Lakhan drubs and expels him when he blends with Shera. Thus, Lakhan decides to marry Geeta, which she accepts to accomplish her retributive justice. Parallelly, a severe battle is prolonged between Lakhan, Shera, & Amar. Unaware of the truth, Shera captures Durga but fails to detect her. That night, Shera intimates with Bijili, assuming her to Geeta under the influence of alcohol. Afterward, Lakhan audaciously defeats Shera and relieves his mother, but Kallu backstabs and kills him. All at once, Shera discerns Durga, repents, and slays Kallu.
Later, Geeta wipes out Mohanlal with the support of Shera. Before dying, he admits his sins to Amar. However, he is compelled to apprehend her, and she is penalized when Shera overhears that Amar swears to wait until her return and salutes his true love. Shera succeeds in absconding when Rajaram seizes Suraj, Aasha, & Durga. Forthwith, Shera assaults him when Durga obstructs, which makes Shera helpless. Astonishingly, Rajaram acquits, and the venomous before is his twin Shambhu, who has purported to capture him. At last, Geeta eliminates Shambhu and surrenders to Amar with Shera. Finally, the movie ends with the release of Shera & Geeta when Amar unites with Geeta, and Shera is surprised to see his son with Bijili, who looks like his childhood Lakhan.[3]
