Two sword-mates take on an evil tyrant and his army of Kung Fu assassins.

In a small rural village in India, two fathers are set on a collision course: Thakur Avadh Narayan Singh, a cruel and powerful landowner who rules with an iron fist, and Rudra, a poor laborer who remains complacent under Thakur's tyranny to protect his family. Rudra lives a modest life with his wife Paro, two sons, and his nine-year-old daughter, Durga, cherishing their love and unity despite the harsh realities of village life. The Thakur's cruelty is revealed through the tragic tale of Shiva, his now mad gardener, and Shiva's son Kisna. Kisna, an educated and idealistic young man, sought to empower the villagers through education, which Thakur saw as a threat to his control. Thakur ordered Shiva to tell Kisna to stop educating the villagers, but Kisna's fate was sealed when Thakur discovered his romantic relationship with his only daughter. Shiva, desperate to protect his son, decided to send Kisna away from the village and even slapped him in private for daring to dance with the Thakur's daughter. However, the Thakur's daughter, after being beaten by her father and brothers for her relationship with Kisna, sought refuge at Shiva's house. Bhola, the younger brother, stormed Kisna's home with the Thakur's men and forcibly took her back, while Bacchu, the elder brother, humiliated Shiva by slapping him repeatedly despite his pleas for mercy. Kisna, enraged by his father's mistreatment, retaliated by striking Bhola. The Thakur left without retaliation that day, but his revenge came the next morning. As Shiva escorted Kisna to the train station to leave the village, Thakur, Bacchu, Bhola, and their men ambushed them. In a brutal display, they beat Kisna mercilessly while Shiva begged for mercy, and Thakur personally delivered the fatal blow, killing Kisna in front of his father. Thakur's daughter, devastated by the loss of Kisna, later committed suicide. Thakur, devoid of remorse, refused to attend her funeral, leaving Shiva broken. Years later, Rudra's complacency is shattered when tragedy strikes his family. Thakur's sons, Bacchu and Bhola, drunk and enraged after being humiliated by a courtesan named Naina who chose another man over them despite being paid, encounter Durga as she returns from the market with groceries due to her mother being ill. They brutally rape and beat her before abandoning her unconscious in a ditch. When Durga fails to return home, Rudra and the villagers organize a search and find her barely alive. The horrifying attack devastates Rudra and his family. The turning point comes when Bacchu and Bhola return to the crime scene to recover Bacchu's golden chain, which he accidentally left behind. The police inspector catches them in the act, exposing their guilt. The village, along with Rudra, learns the truth about the assault, and the Thakur begins bribing his way out of trouble. The local doctor, initially willing to confirm Durga's injuries, is bribed to falsify the medical report. The local police inspector, though not loyal to Thakur, is also bribed to declare a lack of evidence. With no options left, Rudra resolves to take justice into his own hands. On the day Bacchu and Bhola are to appear in court, he ambushes and kills them both with a rifle. Furious, Thakur sends his trusted right-hand man, Uddam, to capture Rudra and his family who flee the hospital into the forest at night. Shiva, still haunted by Kisna's fate, steps in to help but is tragically killed by Uddam in the process. At Paro's urging, Rudra confronts and kills Uddam the next day when he captures Rudra and his family, avenging Shiva's death. Meanwhile, the doctor, overcome with guilt for his complicity, commits suicide. Determined to end the violence, Rudra confronts Thakur directly. In an emotional moment, he apologizes for killing Thakur's sons and pleads for peace and safety for his family. Thakur's wife, recognizing Rudra's anguish and her husband's cruelty, forgives him and allows him to turn himself in. However, Thakur, blinded by rage, orders his men to attack. The inspector, having a change of heart and attempting to arrest Thakur, is killed by his men. In the final confrontation, Rudra kills Thakur's remaining men and beats the Thakur into submission Paro then delivers the final blow, crushing Thakur to death with a rock and ending his reign of terror. Rudra then surrenders himself to the police and is sentenced to six months in prison. Upon his release, he reunites with his family, finally at peace.

Vijay Kapoor (Amitabh Bachchan) is a successful businessman. He lives happily with his wife Pratima (Raakhee Gulzar) and their four children. Ajay (Akshay Kumar), their only son who was studying abroad and has graduated from university, received an academic degree in Information Technology and came back home now. Daughters are Priti (Juhi Chawla), Priya (Simone Singh) and Rani. Ladoo Mama (Shakti Kapoor) is Pratima's brother and lives with Vijay. Ladoo is dating Sweety Aunty (Kunika). Brij (Anang Desai) is a family friend of Vijay. Jagmohan Thappar (Alok Nath) is a business competitor, but on friendly terms with Vijay. Rajesh Purohit (Mohnish Bahl) enters the family, and deviously impresses Vijay with his efficiency, and his eldest daughter Priti (Juhi Chawla) with his charm, whereas his main goal is to impoverish their family and take over Vijay's fortune. Soon, Vijay approves the marriage of Priti and Rajesh who becomes a son-in-law who stays at home. Meanwhile, Ajay falls in love with Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) and plans to marry her. Nisha is Jagmohan's daughter. At first Ajay finds a 100 flaws in Nisha and tells her that she has no sense of dressing. Nisha converts herself to a traditional Indian girl and meets Ajay. Now AJay is interested in her, but Nisha says now she can get any decent guy she wants and starts dating Suniel Shetty to make Ajay jealous. The whole family goes on a picnic to woo Nisha and it turns out that Suniel is Nisha's brother and was only acting to make Ajay jealous. Vijay convinces Ajay to first gain experience in the family business, even though Ajay wants to start his own business. However, ideological differences result in disputes between the two. Hari Singh (Ashish Vidyarthi) is a factory supervisor & union leader who mistreats his workers & gambles during working hours and Ajay sees this. Ajay confronts Hari, who is rude and dismissive towards Ajay. When Hari hits Rajesh, Ajay retaliates and beats Hari. Hari calls a strike. Vijay tells Ajay that he knows everything about Unions and he still ignores this and uses the union for his own purposes. He wants Ajay to apologize to Hari. Vijay forces Ajay to apologize to Hari. Consequently, Ajay stands firm in his decision to start his own business. He asks his father for economic assistance. When Vijay refuses to do so, Ajay takes a loan. When Vijay discovers this, he is furious and throws Ajay out of the house (Rajesh tries to talk to Ajay into accepting Vijay's money and Ajay tells him to get out of his room. Rajesh decides to leave the house (pretending to be offended of being told to leave the house), but Vijay throws out Ajay instead). Ajay finally marries Nisha and they move into their new house. Jagmohan refuses to support Ajay, but Nisha goes against him & marries Ajay. Rajesh makes Vijay sign a power of attorney, without his knowledge, hidden in a stack of normal papers. This is how Vijay goes bankrupt, and all his fortune goes automatically to Rajesh. The lenders arrive at Vijay's doorstep asking for their money back, else they will liquidate all of Vijay's properties, including his house. Rajesh reveals his true nature and it emerges, he was in cahoots with Hari and the money lenders (he had mortgaged the properties for list price, but pocketed half the amount himself). Rajesh knew that Ajay never asked him to leave the house, only his room, but Rajesh deliberately overplayed the incident to get Vijay to throw Ajay out of the house. Priti overhears all this and is shocked. As Ajay finds out what happened, he gets that Rajesh was the one who had incited arguments between the two. Ajay tries to get close to his father again, which causes a crisis in his relationship with Nisha, who is not pleased with Ajay's reunion with his family. Ajay and Nisha get separated due to consistent arguments between them, and while she finds out that she is pregnant, Ajay has already returned home. His mission now is to return his family fortune and his father's faith, as the latter still cannot forgive him their dispute. Vijay and Ajay eventually become reconciled, although he is yet to return the fortune. They get a stay order on the house auction and buy some time to figure the mess out. Vijay rules out harming Rajesh as that would impact Priti. Rajesh begins to treat Priti badly (after Ajay confronts Rajesh and beats him up), and she also comes back home. Ajay is asked by Vijay to get Nisha back home (she had gone to her father after the tiff). But when Ajay arrives there, Jagmohan asks him to sign divorce papers. Ajay brings Nisha home in exchange (in a deal made with Jagmohan only) for signing the divorce papers and asks her not to reveal the truth to his family. But Nisha is shocked when Ajay actually does sign the papers and hands them to Nisha, who goes back home with her dad. As auction is imminent, the factory workers finally realize that they are going to lose everything. They beat up Hari for conspiring against Vijay and his business. Ajay saves Hari and he is grateful. The workers pool their savings and their houses to gather enough cash to buy the factory and the house at the auctions. Ladoo bids against Rajesh at the auction and the winning bid is Rs 125 Crores. Now Ajay has 2 days to pay the money. Ajay then decides to return his family fortune violently (with the full force of all the factory workers) and forces Rajesh to sign another power of attorney which says that the money comes back to Vijay. Vijay uses the money to pay the auction bill. Priti, in a letter tells Rajesh that she can never forgive him for the atrocities he inflicted on her family and orders him to leave for good. Nisha reunites with Ajay when she learns that the divorce was not mutual and was engineered by her father, and the family finally comes together and lives happily as it used to be before.
