==Plot==
Vijay ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) and Ravi ([[Shatrughan Sinha]]) are best friends who do not question each other about their careers. Vijay is a police officer and Ravi is a lawyer. While Vijay catches criminals, Ravi bails those criminals out and is employed by Daaga ([[Prem Chopra]]). One day both Vijay and Ravi meet Sheetal ([[Zeenat Aman]]) at different places and times, and both fall in love with her. While Ravi's love is more vocal and is reciprocated by Sheetal, Vijay has one-sided crush on Sheetal.

Ravi admits his love for Sheetal to Vijay who is devastated but decides to sacrifice his love for Ravi's sake. However, there is a misunderstanding when Daaga decides to stir up Vijay and Ravi's friendship by showing Ravi a photo of Vijay and Sheetal. Vijay and Ravi become rivals for the first time. The rest of the movie looks at the conflict between Vijay and Daaga. After the misunderstanding, Ravi is on Daaga's side but later learns the truth and atones for his deeds.

Balwant Singh was shot by Daaga because he couldn't run due to ankle sprain while jumping off the charter plane. Daga tried to shoot Vijay with a pocket gun and got shot in return instead.
