Vishwanath, an honest lawyer, is implicated and imprisoned at the behest of a powerful underworld don, GNK, and his associates. After his release from prison, Vishwanath decides to seek vengeance, but finds out that it is virtually impossible to do this through due process of law. So he decides to change his identity, hire a gang of crooks and assassins, to carry out his vendetta. Not realizing that in doing this he is alienating himself from the love of his life, Soni; and making himself a criminal.
This the 2nd Subhash Ghai film starring Shatrughan Sinha, and though it's not as good as Kalicharan, it's not too far behind in delivering a powerful action drama that really belongs to Shatrughan. His gargantuan performance dominates the whole picture. He's intense, and totally convinces as a lawyer who turns criminal and leads a gang of misfits against the don, GNK, well played by Prem Nath. Their dialogue is well-matched.
The film can drag a bit towards the end, but it's rarely boring and drips with masala dramatics. Perhaps, the film is a little uneven, with the first being gritty and serious, and second half veering into masala territory, but overall it's a solid film that gleans good performances from Reena Roy, Pran, and Ranjeet, a drugged-up villain who likes to utter the lines "once in the blue moon."
