Unknown to all of them, Randhir (the engineer who swore revenge) has put a bomb in the engine at the Mathura Railway station and disengaged the vacuum brakes so that even guard wouldn't be able to stop the train. The bomb was timed to explode halfway through the journey. He hopes to sabotage the train and thereby destroy Vinod's reputation without a scant thought to the lives of the passengers. Meanwhile Ashok leaves the train as he does not wanted to travel with Seema in the train. He meets Randheer in a bar where Randheer tells him that he has fulfilled his and Ashok's revenge. (He was misunderstood that Ashok must be seeking revenge from Seema for her betrayal). Knowing this Ashok immediately leaves to catch the train before explosion time so that he can save his friend's train and save passengers. He manages to catch the train at Kota Railway station, but was unfortunately late. Halfway, the bomb explodes killing the drivers Jeevan Lal and Dango, and destroying the brakes and accelerator. Ashok goes outside the train and goes to the engine compartment and saves the guard (Osman Ali) and brings him back. Vinod, who is desperately trying to save their lives, talks to them through All India Radio and asks them to go to the engine compartment and apply the emergency brakes. The radio broadcast completely panics all passengers and the train cooks come running to find out what happened. In their haste, they leave the cooking gas on. The news also panics all the relatives who are waiting at Mumbai and they besiege Vinod. Sheetal also comes to him and shouts at him asking him to save their son, Raju. Ashok, Ravi and the guard climb on top of the train and try to reach the engine. Meanwhile, Rakesh's wife enters labor and Seema's doctor cousin attends to her, asking for some hot water. A cook lights a match to heat up some water in the kitchen. The open gas explodes killing the guard Osman Ali, the cook and several passengers and half the train starts burning. Ashok and Ravi barely make it back and with the help of some passengers put up some gaps between the burning compartments and the passengers. Vinod tries another effort by sending a helicopter and trying to get someone to land on the engine compartment. Randhir sabotages this mission by volunteering to go on the helicopter. He drops on to the engine compartment but does nothing leading Ashok and his superiors to believe he is dead. Meanwhile Ashok finds out why Seema left him. She had lost her leg on the way back from the pilgrimage. She didn't want to be a burden on him in his poverty and decided to go away. They patch up. Ravi and Neetu also fall in love. Sheetal also comes back to Vinod and apologizes for her behavior. She gives him courage for his last attempt to save the train. Rakesh, who is in Mumbai, tries to build a steep incline quickly which will reduce the speed of the train once it reaches Mumbai and may yet stop the train but he is running out of time as the train is speeding towards Mumbai and is just hours from reaching it. Vinod tries one last effort by getting an engine to drive along the Super fast train. He asks Ashok and Ravi to come up top and throws a rope saying that he will come over to the train and stop the train himself. Ranjeet tries to escape by using the same rope to the other train knowing that he will be arrested in Mumbai. Asrani tries to stop but Ranjeet throws him off the train. Ashok fights Ranjeet who falls off the train. Vinod comes over to the train. He says that he has brought fireproof suits and some dynamite(just in case). They will wear fireproof suits and go to the engine and apply the emergency brakes. Vinod, Ashok and Ravi go through the fire to the engine where they find Randhir. Randhir tries to kill Vinod but falls off the train in the scuffle. They reach the engine to find that the drivers are dead and all systems have failed. Ashok comes up with an idea of blasting the couplings of the compartments from the engine. Vinod disagrees saying that passenger compartments will derail if blasted off at this speed, but then remembers the incline being built by Rakesh. They send Ravi back to warn the passengers and to ask everyone to tie themselves to their seat. Vinod asks Rakesh over wireless to clear the incline area even though it isn't completely ready and then Ashok and he set up the dynamite charges on the couplings. As the train starts climbing the incline, they blast the dynamite and jump off the slowing engine. The engine blasts through Mumbai station and stops on the road. But the passenger compartment slows down and comes to a complete halt. All passengers get off safely. Vinod and Ashok happily come walking they're hurt but alive. Everyone connects with their relatives and the film ends as a tribute to the soul of India.

Maharaj Singh (Shammi Kapoor) is a proud owner of several derby-winning stallions, and lives in a palatial farmhouse with his wife, Rukmini (Indrani Mukherjee) and young son, Chimpu. Chimpu has a birth mark (in the shape of a trident) on his back. Maharaj Singh is a champion horse rider and prides himself on taming the wildest of beasts. One day robbers attack his farmhouse with a view of stealing the stallions, but Maharaj fights them, killing the son of the leader of the robbers, Maan Singh (Madan Puri). Maan Singh swears to avenge the death of his son and abducts Chimpu. Chimpu was 2 years old and the night he was abducted, was his birthday. Servant Ram Singh (Ramesh Deo) gets blamed & kicked out of the household by Maharaj Singh. Ram Singh used to look after Chimpu inside the house and was with him all the time. Even at the time of Chimpu's abduction, Ram Singh was sleeping in Chimpu's room and hence was the prime suspect. Maharaj Singh spends all available resources to find Chimpu, but without any success. 20 years later Ram Singh is at a circus & finds a recently released convict, Badal (Amitabh Bachchan) whose mannerisms match Maharaj Singh. Badal has the same accurate aim with a gun that Ram Singh had last seen in Chimpu. Ram Singh was running a shooting game arcade and was paying 20:1 odd if the shooter could hit 6 balloons with 12 shots from a pellet gun. Badal corrects the shooting sight of the gun and hits 12 targets in a row. Badal also says the same things that Maharaj used to say. Badal can ride horses like an expert. Badal has taken to a life of crime to support the poor villagers who are dependent on his meager income. Badal used to work at a racecourse but was fired for someone else's mistake and was jailed for the same. Badal was released as part of a leniency declared on India's Independence Day and that day, he had decided that honesty does not pay. Badal has no birth mark, but Ram Singh tells Badal about Maharaj and Chimpu. Ram Singh convinces Badal to get a tattoo (for which they pay Rs 5 to a tattoo artist) & to pose as Chimpu to inherit the wealth. In exchange Ram Singh will get a 50-50 share of the Maharaj's wealth. Ram Singh teaches Badal everything about Chimpu's childhood memories and toys. Ram Singh tells him about Chimpu's mother Rukmini, a toy horse, a cradle made of sandalwood, stud farms, horses and the fact that the parents have been waiting for Chimpu for 20 years. Badal reaches the Maharaj's village by train and travels on foot to his estate. On the way he runs into college students camping in the jungle protesting the cutting of forest to create roads in the hills. Sunita is part of the group, and Badal is instantly smitten with her. The students invite Badal for a meal, impressed with his singing skills. Badal saves Maharaj's daughter's Sunita (Saira Bano) life from a stray horse that had escaped the Maharaj's stables & slowly they fall in love. At this point he doesn't know Sunita is Maharaj's daughter. Badal returns the horse to the Maharaj's stables and gets a job as a farm hand on his estate. Sher Singh (Jagdish Raj) is the manager of the Maharaj's stables and is impressed with Badal's skills with horses. Badal learns that Rukmini has not emerged from the shock of losing her child. She is still bedridden and sick. Maharaj Singh doesn't visit his stud farms anymore as he devotes all his time to the care of Rukmini. Badal goes in front of Maharaj & shows off his shooting & horse skills & impresses him. He then infuriates Maharaj in a series of incidents. At first, he disrespects a gift given by the Maharaj by shooting it with Maharaj's own gun, and then proceeds to insult the Maharaj's horses, which prompts him to tear Badal's clothes off & he sees the birth mark. This prompts Maharaj & Rukmini to accept Badal as their long-lost son, Chimpu. But at this point Badal also learns that Sunita is Maharaj's daughter & technically his sister. Sunita is confused because at some level she refuses to believe that Badal is her brother. As the news spreads Maan Singh wonders how Maharaj got a new son. Maharaj starts involving Badal in his business and starts handing over the reins of the offices to him. Now Ram Singh starts blackmailing Badal for his share. But Badal is moved by the trust & respect Maharaj Singh gives him & refuses to taint that by giving in to Ram Singh's demands. When Ram Singh tells the truth to Maharaj, at that moment Badal also professes the truth to Sunita. Maharaj confronts Badal & Badal accepts his folly. But Maharaj can't kick him out as this news would kill his wife who has grown fond of having her son back after 20 long years of separation. Maharaj also notices that Badal had every opportunity to steal money from Maharaj, as he was handling transactions worth several Lakhs, but every cent was accounted for, and all the money was safely deposited in Maharaj's accounts. Maan Singh approaches Badal & says that he has the real son Chimpu & asks Badal for Rs 2 Lakhs to keep his silence. Maan Singh says that he wanted to kill Chimpu after abducting him but was swayed by the child's innocence. Chimpu was raised by Maan Singh as his own son Suraj (Vinod Khanna) (& who is now a robber). Badal gives the Rs 2 Lakhs to Maan Singh, but kidnaps Chimpu when everybody in Maan Singh's camp is asleep. This lures Maan Singh to the estate & brings Maan Singh, Suraj, Badal in front of Maharaj. Maan is defeated in gun fight & he is forced to admit that Suraj is none other than Chimpu. When Maharaj's wife finds out, she forgives Badal & accepts him as son-in-law. Suraj agrees to leave Maan Singh & come back to his real family.
