As a boy Shankar, his sister Munni and his mother Mrs. Bajrangi (Anjana Mumtaz) were rescued by an elephant and taken to the nearest village. Shankar's mother survives but Munni dies. Shankar is adopted by Chanchal's father (Vinod Mehra), who is a friend of Bajrangi (Dara Singh). Shankar's home was set of fire by Nahar Singh (Amrish Puri). The baby elephant saved them by breaking a wall, allowing the family to escape. Shankar (Mithun Chakraborty) grows up and earns his living by doing road shows in Delhi along with Chanchal (Varsha Usgaonkar) and Appu (the elephant). Shankar happens to see a poster for Gemini circus featuring Natasha (Irina Kushnareva) and begins to dream of working with her. Hari Singh (Amrit Pal) is Indian coordinator for the Russian circus. Hari is using the circus as a front for smuggling operations along with Bob (Gulshan Grover) and Nahar Singh. Hari is being monitored by a mysterious person named Fakira (Naseeruddin Shah). As the circus goes to Delhi, Fakira joins the group as a coolie. Fakira attacks Hari in the train and wants to know Nahar's location. Fakira throws Hari off the train and he dies, and this is witnesses by Natasha. During the chaos, a bear named Misha escapes from the train and goes into the jungle. He is pursued by circus performers Serge and Natasha. Natasha is bitten by a cobra and is found by Shankar. Shankar sucks the poison out of Natasha and brings her home. Natasha can understand and speak Hindi. Meanwhile, Serge stumbles upon Bob's smuggling warehouse in the jungle. Serge tells Bob that he is looking for Natasha. Bob's men know that a foreign girl entered a nearby village the previous day. Bob agrees to help Serge, and this would be a perfect cover for him to transport his goods to Delhi. Bob brings Serge to the village, where Chanchal is only too happy to help Serge as then she would be rid of Natasha. But seeing Bob, triggers a memory in Appu of Bob and Nahar Singh killing Appu's family. He attacks Bob, and only Shankar manages to bring Appu under control. Natasha leaves with Misha. Meanwhile Shankar's mother needs an operating costing Rs 1 Lakhs for her persistence sharp headaches. Bob delivers Serge, Natasha and Misha to their circus in Delhi, and believes that he has hoodwinked the police. But then, he is pursued by Fakira, who turns out to be Police Inspector Adarsh Kumar. Bob manages to escape, but Adarsh confiscates his entire consignment. Turns out Adarsh had witnessed Bob, Hari Singh, & Nahar Singh kill an elephant and had called Bajrangi for help. When Bajrangi intervened, Nahar Singh shot Bajrangi. Nahar Singh hated Bajrangi as Bajrangi had defeated him in a public wrestling tournament earlier. Nahar Singh was the brother of Raja Sahib (Achyut Potdar), who was Bajrangi's benefactor. Nahar killed Raja Sahib also for siding with Bajrangi in the poaching matter. Adarsh was presumed dead in the melee. Hari Singh took the locket from Bajrangi's neck. Then Nahar Singh set fire to Bajrangi's home to eliminate his family, after blaming Bajrangi for elephant poaching and the death of Raja Sahib. Now, Bob is in a panic and doesn't tell Nahar Singh that he lost the drugs to the police. Adarsh approaches Bob and offers to release the drugs against a bribe of Rs 2 Crores. The drugs are to be transported to Europe in an elephant's cage. Adarsh's only motive is to get to Nahar Singh. Shankar comes to Natasha's circus in Delhi to meet her. Appu enters a live circus performance and starts performing along with Shankar. Their act is a huge hit and as a result he is offered a job in the circus. Natasha is also happy, as she and Shankar love each other. Mrs. Bajrangi refuses to let Shankar leave for Russia without marrying Chanchal. Shankar says that he has never seen Chanchal as his wife. Chanchal runs into the jungle with Appu. She reckons that in a few days Natasha's circus will leave town and things will go back to normal. Shankar anyways cannot go without Appu. But in the jungle Bob finds and abducts Appu for his smuggling plan. Chanchal tries to save Appu, but s gravely injured and dies after she is found by Shankar. Shankar follows Appu's trail to Delhi, where he reunites with Natasha. Meanwhile, Bob prepares a cage for Appu and packs it with the drugs worth Rs 250 Crores for transportation to Europe. Shankar and Natasha track Appu to the warehouse, where the cage is being prepared. Adarsh saves Shankar from being shot, but soon the police arrive, and Adarsh has to run away, along with Bob. Appu, Appu's cage, Shankar and his mother are all taken to Russia by Natasha and her circus. Adarsh and Bob are forced to follow them there. Now Natasha sees a locket in Shankar's neck that she saw on Hari. Mrs Bajrangi says that the locket belonged to Shankar's father and hence he might be alive. But Natasha tells them that the man was killed by a coolie named Fakira. Shankar vows vengeance. Serge is jealous of the love between Shankar and Natasha. Serge assaults Appu and Shankar protects him by attacking Serge. Natasha also tells Serge that she doesn't love him and will never marry him. Serge then plays a trick during a school trip. He asks the students to burst balloons which sound like gunshots to Appu, and he panics and goes berserk. Appu is arrested by the police. Shankar is ordered to take Appu back to India in 2 days. Shankar asks for one more chance and trains Appu and demonstrates that he is not impacted by the sound of bursting balloons anymore. That night Adarsh infiltrates the circus to get his drugs. As he escapes (because Appu created a ruckus and attracted attention), he runs into Natasha and Shankar. Natasha identifies Adarsh as the Coolie who killed Shankar's father. Adarsh manages to escape. Serge gets curious about Appu's cage and finds drugs hidden in its base. Adarsh is also captured when he returns to circus as a clown to retrieve the drugs. Serge says that Shankar smuggled the drugs into Russia using Appu, and that Adarsh is his partner. Mrs Bajrangi decides to visit Shankar in prison and Adarsh sees her. Turns out Adarsh is Shankar's brother, and his real name is Fakira. Adarsh meets Mrs. Bajrangi inside prison and tells her that her elder son is alive. Fakira clarifies that the man his killed was not Bajrangi, but Hari Singh. Fakira says that he smuggled drugs only to get to Nahar Singh. The next day Nahar Singh bails Fakira and Shankar out of prison and tells them that Mrs Bajrangi is in his custody. Nahar says that police got only 5 Kilos of the drugs and Fakira believes that Serge has the rest. Nahar sends Shankar to get the drugs. As Shankar confronts Serge with Natasha, Bob arrives and shoots Serge and takes control of the drugs. As the drugs reach Nahar, Fakira takes advantage of a lapse and attacks. Appu arrives and tramples Bob and Nahar as well. Finally, Natasha and Shankar get married.

Peer Baba (Shammi Kapoor) sits in a town on the trade routes of Arabia and is the keeper of ancient tales. A rich tribal lord Ismail Baig from Bukhara comes to the Baba begging for a child, as he and his wife are childless. Baba blesses the couple but says that the resultant child will have to face severe storms in his life and could even die due to the intense storm of love. At the same time came Tulla (Pran) with his wife (Tanuja) from India, begging for their own bundle of love. Baba issues the same warning to Tulla and blesses the couple with a daughter. 20 years later, the boy and the girl have grown up. Tulla daughter is a pottery artist and sends a beautiful water jug to the Baba, via trader named Hasim, as a gift. The Baba asks Hashim to take the jug to Bukhara and give water to the first thirsty person he sees. Back in Bukhara the boy is a tribal prince named Izzat. Izzat wins the tribal sport of Buzkashi, against all the other warriors of the tribe. Hashim reaches Bukhara and gives the jug to Izzat who declares that he is thirsty. Drinking the water, Izzat has visions of a beautiful woman and now wants to go to India to meet her. Ismail knows that this is the test that Baba had foreseen for Izzat. But Ismail allows Izzat to go, as this is destiny and has to be faced. Shahzada Izzat Beg (Sunny Deol) comes to India with his caravan from Bukhara Uzbekistan and settles in a town called Gujra in Punjab. Salamat (Rakesh Bedi) is Izzat's friend, whom he had freed from slavery during the trip, by paying Salamat's master 1000 Dinars. On the way Izzat also fights the bandit leader Zarina (Zeenat Aman), when her gang attacks the caravan, for feeding water to their enemy. Zarina befriends Izzat when he declares that he will not fight a woman. The enemy Izzat saved was named Jabru, who says that he knows why Zarina became an outlaw. In Punjab, Izzat falls in love with Sohni (Poonam Dhillon), who keeps a shop of earthen pots with her father Tulla. Izzat Beg buys a pot from her with whatever money he had, and they are attracted to each other. Salamat also falls in love with a girl named Salamati, who is Noor's (Gulshan Grover) sister. Turns out Sohni was already engaged to Jabru, the man whom Izzat saved on the way to the town. Jabru's sister Malkani only knew that he had been abducted by bandit Zara, and didn't know that Jabru had been saved by Izzat. Malkani breaks the engagement with Tulla. Izzat requests Tulla to teach him the art of pottery, and since Izzat had bought Tulla's entire inventory, he was happy to oblige. Meanwhile Jabru returns to Malkani and reveals that Zara is actually Zarina. It seems that Zarina killed her husband due to Malkani and turned into a bandit. Jabru insists that he will only marry Sohni, but Malkani refuses to set foot in Tulla's house again. Malkani summons Tulla to her house. Malkani says that Sohni will not get a better groom than Jabru, but Tulla refuses to consider the match after being insulted by Malkani. In response, Malkani stops the supply of earthen clay to all potters in town. Only her land supplies the earthen clay. Izzat uses every opportunity to get close to Sohni, and even kisses her. While Noor is in love with Sohni and resents her relationship with Izzat. Noor approaches Sohni's mother and asks for her hand in marriage as he argues that the news of her engagement breaking will bring much disrespect to the family. Noor also says that he is from the same tribe as Sohni, and hence has the right to propose marriage. But Tulla hates Noor, as Noor was his student who opened his own pottery shop, and now wants to use Sohni's misfortune, to get his hands on Sohni herself. Noor accuses Tulla of selling his daughter to the rich Izzat. Tulla finds Sohni romancing Izzat and confronts her. Tulla says that it is a matter of honor for him and asks Sohni to stay away from Izzat. Noor complains to Zarina that a foreigner entered the village and bought his love with the might of money. Zarina has the foreigner abducted, only to find that it is Izzat. Noor challenges Izzat to a duel and is easily defeated. Izzat tells Zarina that Sohni loves him, but spares Noor's life as he knows that Noor also loves Sohni and that is not a crime. Zarina tells her own story to Izzat. She says that she loves a poor man named Rashid. She eloped with him, after her family refused to accept their love. But once she eloped, she found that Rashid was already in love with Malkani. Zarina stabs Rashid to death and turns into an outlaw. The potters beg Malkani to restart the supply for earthen clay. Malkani wants Tulla to marry Sohni to Jabru as her condition to restart the supply of clay. The potters try to convince Tulla, but he asks for more time to make a decision. Meanwhile, Sohni and Izzat continue to meet, which is seen by Noor. Izzat was staying in the village in the disguise of a cow herder. He had bribed the original cow herder named Mahiwal to give his clothes to him, and the original to leave the village. Noor knew this, and he poisons the buffaloes, while Izzat was romancing Sohni. The villagers find Izzat in the disguise of the cow herder and beat him up. The village Panchayat decide that Izzat poisoned the cattle to take revenge on the village when they refused to marry Sohni to him. He is sentenced to death by hunger. The Panchayat also decides that Sohni will be married to Jabru to resolve the issue with Malkani. After several days, with Izzat nearing death, Sohni agrees to marry Jabru to save Izzat's life. But now, Jabru finds Izzat on the streets with Salamat, and brings him home for treatment. When Izzat recovers, he realizes that Jabru is the guy engaged to Sohni now. Since Jabru is his friend, Izzat decides not to reveal the truth to Jabru. But Noor realizes the issue and reveals everything to Malkani. Noor says that this is Izzat's ploy since after the wedding both Izzat and Sohni will be living under Malkani's roof. Noor then goes to Zarina and says that Izzat's Sohni is being married forcefully to Jabru. On the day of the wedding, Noor attacks Izzat when he is alone and abducts him with his goons. Noor reveals to Izzat that he was the one who poisoned the cattle. He also says that Zarina will kill Malkani and Jabru at Tulla's house and this way Sohni will end up with Noor. Izzat defeats Noor and rushes back to the village to the wedding with Salamat. Due to a storm, their horse falls down, injuring Izzat. Zarina confronts Malkani at the wedding and says that the wedding is happening without the bride's consent. Jabru is shocked to find that Sohni loved Izzat, his best friend, and was only engaged to him so that the villagers could get clay from Malkani's land. Jabru divorces Sohni. Salamat reaches the wedding and reveals how Malkani sent Noor to kill Izzat. Sohni rushes to Izzat who is lying injured by the river. Sohni and Izzat enter the stormy river from opposite ends and meet in the middle and drown together in embrace.

A poor man, Ali Baba lives in the town of Gulabad (Dharmendra), somewhere in Central Asia, with his mother (Sofiko Chiaureli) and elder brother Qasim (Yakub Akhmedov), who owns a small, petty shop. Ali Baba's father, Yousuf (Zakir Mukhamedzhanov), is a merchant in a faraway land who has not returned to Gulabad since his departure after Ali Baba' birth. Ali Baba makes a living out of selling timber cut from the hills. Gulabad is terrorized by a band of 40 bandits. They hide their loot in a magical cave in the deserted hills. When the bandit leader Abu Hasan recites the magical spell, it opens (Open Sesame), and when he says another spell, it closes (Close Sesame). A young girl named Fatima (Zeenat Aman) has a score to settle with Abu Hassan. Fatima and her father (Madan Puri) were travelling in a caravan some time ago, when Abu Hasan attacked it. Abu Hasan realized that Fatima's father knew the secret to gun powder which was a revolution in the battlefield in those days. Abu Hasan captures Fatima's father to learn the secret of the gunpowder. Ali Baba and Qasim rejoice when they receive letter from their father Yousuf that he is on his way to Gulabad and is bringing a lot of merchandise with him. Unknown to the brothers, Fatima is working as a spy for Abu Hasan and tells the thieves the location of Yousuf's caravan. Fatima is also used as a courier to buy all the raw materials needed for her father to make gunpowder in captivity. Abu Hasan and his men attack the caravan and destroy the dam that supplies water to Gulabad. The Qazi of the region announces a reward for the capture of notorious bandit Abu Hassan (Rolan Bykov). He also plans to dig wells all over Gulabad where people will be able to buy water. But the poor people know that they will not be able to afford the water and want the dam to repaired. Ali Baba finds that his father has gone missing and finds the sacks from his shop at the dam site, indicating that Fatima knows something about the attackers. Marjeena's father, the King of a nearby Kingdom, had found Yousuf near death and gave him shelter and nursed him back to health. The King had found carrier pigeons with Yousuf and sent a message that Yousuf was safe and their location. The message was received by Ali Baba. His mother gives Ali Baba a family ring to help recognize Yousuf who had the exact same ring. Unknown to them, that ring had been stolen to Abu Hasan. Fatima's father knows that she will never be freed till he is a hostage. He gives Fatima a letter, which she opens after she is sent again to gather supplies. Her father had said that he will commit suicide and asks her never to return to Abu Hasan's cave. Ali Baba goes to the Kingdom and not only finds his father (but they both do not recognize each other as Yousuf did not have the ring on him) but also rescues princess Marjeena (Hema Malini) from the guards of the usurper Shamsher (Prem Chopra) who murdered her father to become the new King. Both Marjeena and Ali Baba fall in love with each other. They hide within a caravan to escape Shamsher, while Yousuf distracts Shamsher's forces. The caravan leader Mustafa (Frunzik Mkrtchyan) has his eyes on Marjeena and when she resists his lust, she is taken captive, along with Ali Baba. As Ali Baba is about to be killed, Yousuf intervenes and vouches for Ali Baba. Yousuf finds the signet ring on Ali Baba and reveals that he is his father (he says that his own signet ring might be with Abu Hasan). During their reunion, the caravan is attached by Abu Hasan and his forces. Yousuf is injured while Marjeena is taken captive by Mustafa. Ali Baba takes Yousuf to Gulabad, where he dies. Yousuf tells Ali Baba to rebuild the dam for Gulabad. Now Qasim recognizes Fatima in Gulabad since she had come to his shop to buy supplies. Qasim wants Fatima to reveal the location of Abu Hasan's cave, which is filled with treasure. Fatima decides to expose herself in Gulabad, knowing that some of Abu Hasan's spies are bound to recognize her. She and Qasim lie in wait to be attacked. But Fatima is attacked by Ali Baba instead (who had also recognized her as the girl who bought supplies from Qasim), who believes that Fatima is part of Abu Hasan's gang. As Abu Hasan's men attack, Ali Baba is forced to fight them, while Qasim escapes with Fatima. Qasim did not want to share his secret with Ali Baba. After burying Yousuf, Ali Baba finds out that Marjeena is being sold in the slave market, he borrows 1000 Dinars from Qasim (who makes him sign a paper declaring that Ali Baba has sold his share of Yousuf's property to Qasim) and uses that to pay for Marjeena. Qasim wants complete control, and as a result, decides to evict Ali Baba from their family home. Ali Baba and his mother leave the home, along with Marjeena. Qasim now hides Fatima in his house, but Fatima does not agree with his actions. Shortly, thereafter Ali Baba was cutting trees in the mountains when he discovers the secret hideout of Abu Hassan and its magic spells to open it. He takes some gold and jewelry from there, which he distributes among villagers to rebuild the dam and diverting some water to their parched land. Ali Baba's greedy brother Qasim lures Ali Baba into telling him where the cave is and what the magic spells are. Out of greed, Qasim takes so much gold jewelry and coin, as a result of which, he forgets the spell to reopen the door and gets stuck inside. When the bandits find him, they kill him. Ali Baba doesn't trust Fatima and captures her, but she escapes. Marjeena goes after Fatima but is found by Mustafa and Fatima helps to rescue Marjeena and this wins Ali Baba's trust. Fatima narrates her story and pledges her support to Ali Baba in killing Abu Hassan. Ali Baba then informs the Qazi about Abu Hassan's hideout. What Ali Baba does not know is that the Qazi and Abu Hassan are the same person, and that the Qazi has given instructions to his men to ensure that Ali Baba is killed, so that no one can get their hands on his treasure. Ali Baba is captured by Abu Hasan and his men. Abu Hasan tortures Ali Baba to reveal Fatima's location. But Marjeena helps Ali Baba to escape and return to Gulabad. Back in Gulabad, Ali Baba sees that Qazi is wearing Yousuf's signet ring and realizes that Qazi is Abu Hasan. Qazi claims publicly that he has killed Abu Hasan, and the 40 urns contain his wealth which will be distributed to the public. Abu Hassan hides the forty thieves in large urns to kill Ali Baba. Ali Baba kills them all with the help of Fatima. Ali Baba brings to light the startling truth in front of the public. Abu Hasan kills Fatima, before Ali Baba chases him back to the cave and kills Abu Hasan.
