Description : Master Dinanth (Amitabh Bachchan) is
a freedom fighter and led the war
against the British in 1942 and
eventually won the independence in
1947. But after independence, the
people's love for their country seems to be diminishing and theyare too
busy betraying it like rich
businessman Thakur Pratab Singh
(Amjad Khan). Masterji finds out about
Thakur Pratab Singh's illegal activities
such as smuggling of weapons and ammunition and gets him arrested. In
revenge for putting him in prison,
Pratab Singh gets Masterji's wife
Bharati (Sharmila Tagore) and
daughter Priti (Parveen Babi)
kidnapped by Thakur's partner in crime Sher Singh (Kader Khan)to try
and change his ways but to no avail.
Thakur also provokes an attack on
Masterji's home by the local villagers
who accuse Dinanath of betraying his
country and he is forced to flee his home with his young son Raju. His
wife becomes a victim of leprosy and
escapes from Sher Singh leaving her
daughter Priti in a friend's care.
Masterji is informed that his wifeand
daughter could be dead as they find a necklace of hers near the train tracks.
Masterji is devastated by his wife and
daughter's loss and he and his son
move on with their life. They settle
into a slum called Bharat Nagar which
is divided in 4 sections with a don in each one of different backgrounds:
Punjabi (Shammi Kapoor), Madrasi
(Premnath). Bengali (Uttam Kumar)
and Muslim (Parikshat Sahni). All of
them love their own section but
nobody thinks of themselves as Indian except Masterji. Masterji sets
out trying to bring peace between the
four dons and once they settle their
differences the four underworld dons
use the Masterji's stay in BharatNagar
to cover up their own illegal activities. Fast Forward to 15 years later the year
is 1962 and Masterji's now grown-up
son Raju (also Amitabh Bachchan)
turns out to be the opposite of his
father by being draw into the
underworld committing crimes toearn money with his father unaware
of what he does. He starts working for
Thakur Pratab Singh unaware that
Thakur had once kidnapped his
mother and sister many years earlier
which caused their separation. Will Raju find out what Thakur did to his
family, will Master Dinanath find out
his son is not what he thinks he is?
and will Master ever find his wifeand
daughter again?
