Indian Army Major Ranvir Kaul (Amitabh Bachchan) and some 30 of his colleagues were captured in Pakistan and held under brutal conditions for 33 years. The jail is headed by Maj Qureshi (Piyush Mishra), who does not like the brutal torture of the prisoners. Kaul attempts another escape (he steals a lighter from his torturer and uses that to light his guard's face on fire, when he was being transported between prisons) but is caught, beaten, berated and thrown back in prison. Eijaz (Aditya Srivastava) is the ISI officer in charge of torturing them. During the fracas one of his men does flee and through a sympathetic friend, Jabbar (Akhilendra Mishra), sends a letter home. Kaul's wife (Tanuja) and son Gaurav (Akshaye Khanna) petition the Indian Army but the General, though sympathetic, has his hands tied. He raises the subject and Pakistan will deny it and immediately the men will be shot; he cannot authorize Army action absent hard evidence (not just a letter); there are no other options. Kaul's son, Gaurav, sets off to find his father. he is not sure if Ranvir is still alive, but his mother is resolute in her conviction. Other prisoners include Naru (Ashraful Haque), Anand (Rajendra Gupta), Nayyar (Kamlesh Sawant) & others. Gaurav smuggles himself into Pakistan (By getting captured as a Pakistani dead person and is thrown across the border by BSF in a body exchange) (Gaurav travels by train but is recognized by a policeman from the India matchbox he carries. Gaurav manages to kill the policeman and continue ahead) and meets Jabbar and discovers (he captures an interrogates a guard from the first jail) that his father has been transferred to a different prison camp (Since the original prison was being inspected by the Human right commission), Saran Jail under the cunning and sadistic Sohail (Kay Kay Menon). Sohail hangs one prisoner who had tried to escape during the transfer process, on the day of their arrival at his jail. Radhika (Amrita Rao) is Jabbar's daughter and falls in love with Gaurav. Kaul meets another set of captured Indian POWs (Capt. Ajit Verma (Nishikant Dixit)) at this new prison. Kaul attempts another escape. One man sacrifices himself on the electric fence (Actually Ranvir had got the short stick, but his junior sacrificed himself to save Ranvir) as others go through. Sohail bemusedly sighs as the others, once past the fence, are blown up by the landmines (10 soldiers die in the attempt). Kaul and the remaining prisoners are again beaten and kicked back into their barracks. One of the prisoners, Khan (Sanjay Dutt), manages to evade the landmines (by jumping over the dead bodies) and escapes. Gaurav meets him accidentally, while Khan was being pursued by trained dogs and Pakistani military police and brings him to safety. Gaurav attacks a military courier and, using his uniforms, infiltrates a Pakistan Army office block. Gaurav is caught by Eijaz, but Khan had followed Gaurav and saves his life. He steals a set of plans which reveal a water main under the prison. His father and the men can dig their way to this main and crawl out. With great reluctance Khan gets arrested again and tells Gaurav that the escape will happen in 10 days. Sohail correctly guesses that Khan is back for a reason. Khan discloses to Kaul that his son is here; this news, and the water main, is a great inspiration for the men. The men quietly begin digging a tunnel to the water main. They discover the body of an Indian Army Captain Jatin (Raj Zutshi) in the debris under the prison, but this Jatin is among them! Khan and Kaul realize that he is in fact a Pakistani spy. Gaurav and Khan had planned the escape for the night of the tenth and Jatin, the spy, had dutifully reported this back to Sohail. Kaul and Khan decide that the escape will happen on the ninth. Jatin is not told of this, but the men manage to send a coded message to Gaurav. The following day Khan notices the number 9 scrawled on an army supply truck entering the prison: it is Gaurav's reply. He will await the men near the water main outlet on the ninth. On the night of the escape the men overpower the guards (Ranvir stays out of the barracks as the men sneak in a dummy to maintain the head count. Then the major attacks the guards at night to steal the keys and rescues the men from their cabin) and kill Jatin. They enter the water main and begin digging away the last few meters of remaining debris. The knocking in the pipes travels up to Sohail's kitchen sink; Sohail quickly discovers the escape and hotly pursues the men down the pipe. Gaurav digs from the other side and, just in the nick of time, the debris is cleared, and father and son are reunited. The men make it through. One of them (Jatta (Raghuvir Yadav)) sacrifices himself on a land mine inside the water main which caves in and blocks Sohail. Rajan (Arif Zakaria) also stays back at the camp to fire at the Pakistani and prevent them from pursuing his comrades. Gaurav leads his father and the men to a railway line, but the train is delayed till morning. The men split up to avoid detection and arrange to meet at dawn near a border point village. They arrive at the border point, but Sohail and his men are in close pursuit. There is a firefight. Khan puts up a brave fight but is shot down. Ranvir Kaul and Gaurav and the handful of remaining prisoners finally get across the border in a Pakistan army truck. Sohail is right behind them, but his jeep is disarmed and he is surrounded by Kaul and the prisoners. Kaul points to the border line behind them; they are now on Indian soil. Kaul, now an Indian Army soldier, attacks and kills Sohail in hand-to-hand combat, and throws his body across the border. The film ends as Ranvir Kaul and his men are reinstated in the Indian Army and salute the Indian tricolor.

Govind (Amitabh Bachchan) and Rajesh (Vinod Mehra) (who is limp in one leg) are two brothers who are happy being brought up by their considerably older stepbrother Hari (Sanjeev Kumar). However, when Hari has to leave home for two months to complete his law degree, his newly married wife Seema (Tanuja), jealous of her husband's excessive affection for the two, ill-treats them, forcing them to leave home and escape to Bombay. Hari returns back after 2 months and realizes that Seema drove his step brothers away from the house. He is very angry. After days spent doing menial labor. They are then picked up by a stranger, who puts them to work as beggars. They manage to escape after a few days. The two brothers are finally given a home by the widower Rahim Chacha (A. K. Hangal), who has a son Anwar (Ali Masood) and daughter Farida (Madhu Malini). Govind takes on the responsibility of providing for his brother's education by becoming the taxi-driver Chhotu Ustad. Govind earns all day and then massages Rajesh's legs at night.. The years pass and Rajesh's legs are all better now. Jagan (Mehmood) is Govind's friend, who sells bananas on marine drive. Govind's car has a unique quality that it can sense if passengers are carrying any illegal stuff or not. One day Govind picks up Mary (Parveen Babi) who is heavy pregnant and offers to drop her to Parel. But the car wont start. Later Govind finds that Mary (who had recently moved across the street from Govind) uses her pregnant belly to transport illegal country made liquor across town. Mary is angry that Govind destroyed her stills. She hires Peter and his goons to abduct and trash Govind. But Peter tries to force himself upon Mary and only timely intervention from Govind saves her. Mary apologizes to Govind. Govind and Mary start dating. Rajesh, however, is ambitious and foppish (he tells his friends that his brother is an international business). Manju (Bindiya Goswami) is Rajesh's fellow student and is tired of his boasts. To embarrass Rajesh she invites Govind to the college's annual fest where Rajesh is performing in a play. Rajesh gets really nervous when he sees Govind in the audience and fluffs his lines. The audience turns on Rajesh and Govind starts a fight with the entire auditorium. Govind continues to help the police by chasing and catching criminals involved in transporting drugs and other contraband across Bombay. In one of the chases Govind sees Anwar in the smuggler's car. Anwar convinces Govind that he only works for a transport company and that Govind has a case of mistaken identity. Manju and Rajesh start dating. Rajesh is good at cards and is introduced to gambling by his room mate. Rajesh wants to get rich quick and doesn't want to work hard for money. Govind runs into Hari at his office and instantly recognizes him. He goes to Hari's house and meets Seema. But Seema is rude and tells Govind that Hari is a famous lawyer now and he is only a taxi driver. She throws Govind out and warns him never to try and contact Hari again. Verma's brother Bansi (Prem Chopra), who has actually been instrumental in fixing up this marriage (Bansi had seen Rajesh playing cards at his club and casino) (Bansi asks the casino manager, who is close to Seth, to propose the match. Seth hates Bansi as he is opposed to Bansi's illegal activities). Seth likes Rajesh, but wants Rajesh to live with them after the marriage. Govind is not agreeable, but Rajesh spurns his brother and the latter's pride by marrying the rich Seth Verma's (Pinchoo Kapoor) daughter Manju (Bindiya Goswami) and staying at his father-in-law's mansion. To pay for the wedding, Govind had mortgaged his taxi and eventually loses it. Rahim uses his EPF retirement money to get the cab back. Bansi employs the unsuspecting Rajesh to carry on a drug-smuggling trade using the vehicles of the Verma Transport Company, owned by the Seth. Meanwhile Rajesh's univ results are declared and Govind finds that Rajesh has failed. Govind confronts Rajesh, who ends up insulting Govind saying that he has no ambition. One of the smuggling operations is foiled by the police (The truck topples in a chase), and Anwar, also mixed up in his business, is left seriously injured. Bansi's men attempt to kidnap Anwar to destroy evidence when Govind is not at home. In the skirmish that ensues, Rahim is shot fatally. In the aftermath of the tragedy and Rajesh's realization of how he has been used by Bansi, Rajesh seeks his brother's mercy. However, at this very moment, Bansi murders Seth Verma and tries to frame Rajesh for it. However, it is Govind who is found at the scene of the crime (he was called there by Bansi's casino manager, who was mimicking Seth Verma on the phone) and accused of murder. The judge at his trial is Hari, who is now one of the leading legal eagles in the city. In the course of the trial, the real identity of the accused and his brother are revealed to Hari. Hari adjourns the court and meets Govind in the locker that night. Hari knows that Govind is innocent and decides to fight the case. Hari now steps down as judge and becomes Govind's defense attorney. Through a series of astute investigations, he unearths the truth. Hari is able to prove that Bansi was the murderer as his watch was photographed near the dead body, before Bansi came back 30 mins after the murder and took the watch back. The police had not informed anyone about the murder for 4 hrs, so it is not possible that Bansi knew from anyone else that Seth Verma had been dead. Bansi, cornered, attempts to shoot Hari and escapes the courtroom, but is finally tracked down by Govind in his beloved taxi 'Basanti'. As the smuggler is arrested, the three brothers are reconciled.

He had a strong voice and said that Bishan's father last wish was not to let Bishan's uncle back into the house at any cost. Kishan is an orphan himself and grows his own grain on a piece of land. Before dying Bishan's father gave Bishan's responsibility to Kishan. Bishan's uncle thinks the friendship between Bishan and Kishan can come in the way of him having complete sway over his sister's financial affairs. In a bid to separate the two friends, the uncle manipulates his sister into sending Bishan away to the city and then abroad for further education. Kishan was offered by Bishan's mom, but he won't go on someone else's money. He says he still have his father's debt to repay. When the two friends reunite years later, Bishan discovers that Kishan has a great voice. Bishan is now a successful businessman, and he wants to promote Kishan's singing talent. Unknown to Kishan, Bishan had also married in London and had a kid. But Bishan wanted to break this news to him later, as Kishan was bound to be upset that he was not at Bishan's wedding. Kishan goes to the city with his friend (Bishan makes him promise on his birthday). In Bombay, Kishan again meets Bishan's uncle and his mother. He also finds that Bishan has been married to Sheela and also has a child. Sheela explains to Kishan that her father had cancer and would have not survived long, and this is why the wedding had to be performed in haste and without Kishan's presence as getting Kishan to London would have taken so long. Bishan asks Komal (Neetu Singh) who is the daughter of the music academy owner, to groom Kishan to be a performer and a gentleman. Kishan doesn't know that Bishan has paid the music academy Rs 50,000 for Kishan training and grooming. Johnny (Kader Khan) is Bishan's driver. Bishan is the owner of a shipping company and even has his own merchant ship. In the meantime, Bishan discovers that the family wealth has been systematically looted over the last 18 years by the uncle and his son Jagdish. He is forced to borrow by mortgaging his remaining assets in order to ensure that Kishan becomes a successful singer. The Rs 50K check that Bishan had given to the music academy, has bounced. So, Bishan borrows against his house & ship to continue Kishan's training and to pay for the huge stadium where Kishan's first concert will be held. Kishan tries to get expelled from the process by being uncooperative and disruptive. The academy finally has enough and calls Bishan to take Kishan away. Bishan takes Kishan to the stadium that he has booked for his first concert to show him how much he believes in his friend. Kishan now understands the gravity of the situation and vows to work hard to become capable of achieving his friend's dream. Bishan's actions cause a major rift between Bishan and his wife Sheela (Tanuja), who is convinced that Kishan will turn his back on his friend if he were to ever succeed. Due to his theatrics Kishan is about to kicked off the academy but changes his tune when he finds that Bishan has planned a huge launch for him and staked everything on his future. Komal trains him personally. On the night of the debut concert Sheela leaves Bishan and takes away their son. Kishan gets cold feet and can't sing without Bishan on his debut night. Komal tells him she loves him, and Kishan gets his confidence back.

Kishan proceeds to become a star and Komal - his trainer professes her love for him. Bishan in the meanwhile falls into a conspiracy further set by his treacherous uncle (Jeevan) and Cousin Jagdish (Ranjeet). He is kidnapped alongside several hostages - primarily children on his shipping vessel, brainwashed, tortured and forced to sign a confession that all the misdeeds have been done by him.

So, now they wanted to prove that Bishan hijacked his own ship so as to repay his creditors. This was Bishan will be dis-credited, and his uncle and Jagdish would be considered his victims and not oppressors. Bishan loses his mental stability when Jagdish threatens hang little kids unless Bishan signs the confession and goes into shock. Johnny escapes from the Island where the hostages have been kept. Johnny tries to contact Kishan, who tracks Johnny, but Johnny dies in a car accident. Meanwhile Bishan also escapes from the Island. The kids are still kept hostage by Bishan's uncle and Jagdish Bishan is then thrown into an asylum after he has a breakdown and experiences amnesia. Kishan pretends to be mentally ill and admits himself into the asylum by tricking the authorities and saves his friend by reviving his memory successfully by feeding him Rotis as he used to when they were children.
