When a remorseful Ravi visits Chander's family at their home, giving them some food and confessing what he did, Chander's mother berates Ravi while the father ([[A. K.

Once out of Ravi's clutches, Vijay struggles to drive to a temple in the middle of the night, where he reunites with Sumitra and pleads forgiveness. Vijay then breathes his last in Sumitra's arms, leaving her extremely shattered, just as Ravi arrives at the temple as well and is completely distraught over his action towards Vijay. The film ends with the [[Maharashtra]] police hosting a celebration for Ravi for his successful actions of pursuing justice and taking down the criminals, though Ravi is still wracked with remorse for killing Vijay.

	As the boys grow up to be young men, Vijay ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) has an acute awareness of his father's failure as he has been victimized for his father's supposed misdeeds. In the process of fighting for his rights, Vijay begins out as a shoe polisher and later becomes a dockyard worker. When Vijay beats up several goons working for a ruthless crime lord, Samant ([[Madan Puri]]), one of Samant's rivals, Mulk Raj Daavar ([[Iftekhar]]), is influenced to bring Vijay to his inner-circle. When Vijay successfully completes a task in nabbing several of Samant's goods for Daavar, the latter rewards him with money, allowing Vijay to purchase a palatial home for his family. While continuing on his assignments for Daavar, Vijay also sacrifices his own education to enable Ravi to study. As Ravi finishes his studies, he begins dating Veera Narang ([[Neetu Singh]]), the daughter of the Mumbai police commissioner, DCP Narang ([[Manmohan Krishna]]). On DCP Narang's suggestion, Ravi applies for employment with the police and is sent for training. Several months later, he is accepted by the police and earns the rank of Sub-Inspector. When Ravi returns home, his first assignment is to apprehend and arrest some of the hardcore criminals and smugglers in Mumbai which also includes his brother, Vijay. Ravi is deeply shocked as he had never associated his own brother with criminal activities and must now decide between apprehending Vijay and quitting the police force.

Ravi is deeply shocked as he had never associated his own brother with criminal activities and must now decide between apprehending Vijay and quitting the police force.

	Initially, Ravi is reluctant of going against his own brother, but is later moved when he non-fatally shoots down a poor boy who stole two [[roti]]s in an attempt to stop him from running. When a remorseful Ravi visits ~~the boy~~'s family at their home, giving them some food and confessing what he did, ~~the boy~~'s mother berates Ravi while the father ([[A. K. Hangal]]) forgives him and justifies Ravi's action by stating that stealing of a "[[lakh]]" or of food is the same, which finally motivates Ravi to agree to take the case. When Ravi finds out that Vijay has accquired wealth by crime, he decides to move out along with Sumitra (who too is disgusted), causing a feud to develop between Vijay and Ravi. Around the same time, Anand is found dead inside a train and his body is cremated by Vijay. Ravi then takes the opportunity to complete his task in taking down and arresting many associates from both Samant and Daavar's gangs and even Daavar himself is arrested by Ravi. Fuming over the loss of his family and many of his associates, Vijay enters into an intimate relationship with a woman named Anita ([[Majboor (1974 film)\|Parveen Babi]]), whom he meets at a bar. When Anita becomes pregnant with Vijay's child, Vijay decides to abandon his life in the underworld so that he can marry her, confess his sins, and seek forgiveness from Sumitra and Ravi.

	The film opens with a depiction of the strong leadership of trade unionist, Anand Verma ([[Satyen Kappu]]), who works hard to enhance the lives of struggling laborers. He lives in a modest home with his wife, Sumitra Devi ([[Nirupa Roy]]), and their two young sons Vijay and Ravi. However, things take a turn for the worse when Anand is blackmailed by a corrupt businessman ([[Kamal Kapoor]]), who threatens to kill his family if Anand does not cease his protest activities. Forced into compliance, Anand is ~~thus~~ attacked and jeered for his betrayal by the very same laborers, who are unaware that he was blackmailed to do so. Anand's family is also persecuted by the angry workers and leaves town out of shame, leaving Sumitra to take care of their sons alone in poverty. Meanwhile, several of the angry workers kidnap Vijay and tattoo his arm with the [[Hindi]] words "मेरा बाप चोर है" (transform: "My father is a thief"). Not knowing what else to do, Sumitra brings her children to [[Mumbai]] and struggles as a day laborer to raise her sons.

	The film opens with a depiction of the strong leadership of trade unionist Anand Verma ([[~~Satyendra Kapoor~~]]), who works hard to enhance the lives of struggling ~~labourers~~. He lives in a modest home with his wife, Sumitra Devi ([[Nirupa Roy]]), and their two young sons, Vijay ~~([[Amitabh Bachchan]])~~ and Ravi ([[~~Shashi~~ Kapoor]])~~. Anand, however~~, ~~is blackmailed by a corrupt businessman~~ who threatens to kill his family if Anand does not cease his protest activities. Forced into compliance, Anand is thus attacked by the very same ~~labourers~~ who ~~then jeer him for his betrayal,~~ unaware that he was blackmailed. ~~His~~ family is also persecuted by the angry workers~~. Out~~ of shame~~, Anand leaves town~~, leaving Sumitra to care ~~for~~ their sons alone in poverty. ~~Several~~ of the angry workers kidnap Vijay and tattoo his arm with the Hindi words "मेरा बाप चोर है" (~~''merā bāp chor hai''; my~~ father is a thief). Not knowing what else to do, Sumitra brings her children to [[Mumbai~~\|Bombay~~]] ~~and~~ struggles as a day ~~labourer~~ to ~~care for~~ her ~~now homeless~~ sons.		The film opens with a depiction of the strong leadership of trade unionist, Anand Verma ([[Satyen Kappu]]), who works hard to enhance the lives of struggling laborers. He lives in a modest home with his wife, Sumitra Devi ([[Nirupa Roy]]), and their two young sons Vijay and Ravi. However, things take a turn for the worse when Anand is blackmailed by a corrupt businessman ([[Kamal Kapoor]]), who threatens to kill his family if Anand does not cease his protest activities. Forced into compliance, Anand is thus attacked and jeered for his betrayal by the very same laborers, who are unaware that he was blackmailed to do so. Anand's family is also persecuted by the angry workers and leaves town out of shame, leaving Sumitra to take care of their sons alone in poverty. Meanwhile, several of the angry workers kidnap Vijay and tattoo his arm with the [[Hindi]] words "मेरा बाप चोर है" (transform: "My father is a thief"). Not knowing what else to do, Sumitra brings her children to [[Mumbai]] and struggles as a day laborer to raise her sons.

	~~Vijay,~~ the ~~older brother~~, ~~grows up with~~ an acute awareness of his father's failure ~~and is victimised~~ for his father's supposed misdeeds. In the process of fighting for his rights, Vijay~~, who starts~~ out as a ~~boot~~ polisher~~, was~~ a dockyard worker ~~in his youth, now becomes a smuggler for the underworld~~. Vijay beats up several ~~thugs~~ working for ~~their~~ ruthless ~~leader~~ Samant ([[Madan Puri]]), ~~which then influences~~ one of Samant's rivals to bring Vijay to his inner circle, ~~leaving~~ Vijay to ~~become~~ a ~~new leading figure of the underworld~~. He also sacrifices his own education so his ~~brother~~ Ravi ~~can study~~.		As the boys grow up to be young men, Vijay ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) has an acute awareness of his father's failure as he has been victimized for his father's supposed misdeeds. In the process of fighting for his rights, Vijay begins out as a shoe polisher and later becomes a dockyard worker. When Vijay beats up several goons working for a ruthless crime lord, Samant ([[Madan Puri]]), one of Samant's rivals, Mulk Raj Daavar ([[Iftekhar]]), is influenced to bring Vijay to his inner-circle. When Vijay successfully completes a task in nabbing several of Samant's goods for Daavar, the latter rewards him with money, allowing Vijay to purchase a palatial home for his family. While continuing on his assignments for Daavar, Vijay also sacrifices his own education to enable Ravi to study. As Ravi finishes his studies, he begins dating Veera Narang ([[Neetu Singh]]), the daughter of the Mumbai police commissioner, DCP Narang ([[Manmohan Krishna]]). On the DCP Narang's suggestion, Ravi applies for employment with the police and is sent for training. Several months later, he is accepted by the police and earns the rank of Sub-Inspector.

	Ravi is an excellent student. He is dating Veera ([[Neetu Singh]]), the daughter of a senior police officer ([[Manmohan Krishna]]). On the Commissioner's suggestion, Ravi applies for employment with the police and is sent for training. Several months later, he is accepted by the police and has the rank of Sub-Inspector. When Ravi returns home, ~~he finds that Vijay has become a businessman overnight, has accumulated wealth, and a palatial home. One of~~ his first ~~assignments~~ is to apprehend and arrest some of ~~Bombay's~~ hardcore criminals and smugglers, which includes his brother, Vijay~~ – much to his shock,~~ as he had never associated his own brother with criminal activities~~. Ravi~~ must now decide between apprehending Vijay and quitting the police force. Ravi~~, at first~~ reluctant of ~~arresting~~ his brother, is moved when he non-fatally shoots a boy who stole ~~two~~ [[roti]]~~s in~~ an attempt to catch him. When Ravi ~~goes to~~ the boy's family, giving them some food, the mother berates Ravi while the boy's father ~~sends her back to the room~~. ~~The father~~ justifies Ravi's action ~~by saying~~ that stealing of a 'lakh' or of food is the same, ~~due to~~ which Ravi ~~agrees~~ to take the case.		When Ravi returns home, his first assignment is to apprehend and arrest some of the hardcore criminals and smugglers in Mumbai which also includes his brother, Vijay. Ravi is deeply shocked as he had never associated his own brother with criminal activities and must now decide between apprehending Vijay and quitting the police force. Initially, Ravi is reluctant of going against his brother, but is later moved when he non-fatally shoots down a poor boy who stole two [[roti]]s in an attempt to catch him. When a remorseful Ravi visits the boy's family at his home, giving them some food and confessing what he did, the mother berates Ravi while the boy's father ([[A. K. Hangal) forgives him and justifies Ravi's action that stealing of a "[[lakh]]" or of food is the same, which finally motivates Ravi to agree to take the case. When Ravi finds out that Vijay has accquired wealth by crime, he decides to move out along with Sumitra (who too is disgusted), causing a feud to develop between Vijay and Ravi.

	~~When~~ Ravi ~~finds out that Vijay has acquired wealth by crime, he decides~~ to ~~move out along with~~ his ~~mother~~. ~~Shouldering past~~ the loss of his ~~mother~~ and ~~sibling~~, Vijay enters ~~a sexual~~ relationship with Anita ([[Parveen Babi]]), ~~a woman~~ whom he meets at a bar. When Anita ~~falls~~ pregnant, Vijay decides to abandon his life in the underworld, marry her, ~~and~~ confess his sins~~. He also hopes to~~ seek forgiveness from ~~his mother~~ and ~~brother~~. However, ~~when~~ Anita ~~is brutally murdered by Samant~~, Vijay ~~murders~~ Samant in revenge, leading ~~him~~ to be branded a criminal forever. ~~Their mother~~, ~~who had sided~~ with ~~Ravi despite the fact that Vijay was her favourite, is tormented by~~ Vijay's ~~decisions and rejects him. When the two brothers meet for~~ a final clash~~, Ravi~~, pleading ~~with Vijay~~ to stop running, ~~shoots Vijay~~ in ~~his~~ arm, and Vijay ~~dies (after crashing his~~ car ~~into~~ a ~~wall while trying~~ to escape~~) in his mother~~'s ~~arms in~~ a temple, ~~seeking~~ forgiveness. Ravi is ~~felicitated~~ for pursuing justice, though he is wracked with remorse for killing Vijay~~. The end~~.		Around the same time, Anand is found dead inside a train and his body is cremated by Vijay. Ravi then takes the opportunity to complete his task in taking down and arresting many associates from both Samant and Daavar's gangs and even Daavar himself is arrested by Ravi. Fuming over the loss of his family and many of his associates, Vijay enters into an intimate relationship with a woman named Anita ([[Majboor (1974 film)\|Parveen Babi]]), whom he meets at a bar. When Anita becomes pregnant with Vijay's child, Vijay decides to abandon his life in the underworld so that he can marry her, confess his sins, and seek forgiveness from Sumitra and Ravi. However, Samant and his remaining goons arrive and murder Anita, provoking an enraged Vijay to storm into Samant's apartment and brutally murder him and his remaining goons in revenge, leading himself to be branded a criminal forever.

			After learning what happened following the deaths of Samant and his gang, Ravi meets with Vijay outside Samant's apartment building in a final clash, pleading him to stop running and surrender himself. As Vijay refuses to do so, Ravi ends up shooting him in the arm fatally, before a grievously injured and slowly dying Vijay uses a car as a getaway vehicle to escape from Ravi. Once out of Ravi's clutches, Vijay drives to a temple in the middle of the night, where he reunites with Sumitra and pleads forgiveness. Vijay then breathes his last in Sumitra's arms, leaving her extremely shattered, just as Ravi arrives at the temple as well and is completely distraught over his actions towards Vijay. The film ends with the [[Maharashtra]] police hosting a celebration for Ravi for his successful actions of pursuing justice and taking down the criminals, though Ravi is still wracked with remorse for killing Vijay.
