	DCP Shiv Kumar ([[Sunil Dutt]]), an honest, brave and upright police officer, returns home to his wife Sheetal ([[Trishul (film)\|Raakhee Gulzar]]) and their young daughter Guddi, announcing that he has been transferred to [[Mumbai]]. Shiv has two younger brothers Vijay ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) and Ravi ([[Shashi Kapoor]]) living in Mumbai, who are intelligent and capable youngsters but spend their time indulging in crooked schemes. Vijay and Ravi are also assisted with information about shady characters by a legless beggar ~~named~~ Abdul ([[Mazhar Khan (actor, born 1955)\|Mazhar Khan]]). After being swindled by the beautiful Renu ([[Bindiya Goswami]]) and her paternal uncle Chacha ([[Johnny Walker (actor)\|Johnny Walker]]) in the city, Vijay and Ravi decide to join forces with them and another glamorous thief ~~named~~ Sunita ([[Majboor (1974 film)\|Parveen Babi]]). However, ~~one of their tricks~~ backfires and lands ~~Vijay and Ravi~~ up in prison, but Shiv bails them out in hopes of shaping them into a much honourable life. Meanwhile, a mysterious man ([[Shatrughan Sinha]]) attempts to shoot Shiv twice in the city, but Shiv survives both times. After learning about the two attempts on Shiv's life, Vijay and Ravi advise him to find a different line of work, arguing that his profession is unpredictable, dangerous and unsuitable for a family man. However, Shiv stands firm by citing his undying patriotic commitment to his corps and his country.

After being swindled by the beautiful Renu ([[Bindiya Goswami]]) and her paternal uncle, Chacha ([[Johnny Walker (actor)\|Johnny Walker]]), in the city, Vijay and Ravi decide to join forces with them and another glamorous thief, Sunita ([[Majboor (1974 film)\|Parveen Babi]]). However, Vijay and Ravi's following scam as two religious leaders who claim to walk on water backfires and lands them both up in prison, but Shiv bails them out in hopes of shaping them into a much honourable life. Meanwhile, a mysterious man ([[Shatrughan Sinha]]) attempts to shoot Shiv twice in the city, but Shiv survives both times. After learning about the two attempts on Shiv's life, Vijay and Ravi advise him to find a different line of work, arguing that his profession is unpredictable, dangerous and unsuitable for a family man. However, Shiv stands firm by citing his undying patriotic commitment to his corps and his country.

	~~Around the same time~~, Shiv ~~penetrates~~ the gang of some international smugglers and it eventually turns out that they were all working for a sadistic international crime lord ~~named~~ Shakaal ([[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]), who is operating from a remote island outside [[India]] while funding crime in Mumbai and rejoicing in pain of his enemies and traitors. The island of Shakaal is equipped with hidden cameras and all sorts of automatic gadgets, including a pack of hunting dogs and a man-eating crocodile in an artificial pond below a rotating table with seats. Shakaal kills Ranjeet ([[Sudhir (Hindi actor)\|Sudhir]]), one of his own aides, by throwing him into the artificial pond as the prey of the man-eating crocodile after ~~cleverly finding out~~ that he was an informer about his underworld to Shiv. Due to the fact that Shiv is getting close to finding out the root of the criminal acts in Mumbai, Shakaal has Shiv ~~abducted~~ and brought to his island by his henchmen where he reveals that he had only arranged the previous two murderous attempts on Shiv and bribes him to join his criminal forces, but Shiv chooses to die in his own line of duty. After a long chase between Shiv and the pack of hunting dogs, Shakaal shoots Shiv to his death on the beach from his helicopter and has his dead body dumped back to Mumbai.		When Vijay and Ravi were serving their sentence in prison, Shiv penetrated the gang of some international smugglers and it eventually turns out that they were all working for a sadistic international crime lord, Shakaal ([[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]), who is operating from a remote island outside [[India]] while funding crime in Mumbai and rejoicing in pain of his enemies and traitors.

After a long chase between Shiv and the pack of hunting dogs, Shakaal shoots Shiv to his death on the beach from his helicopter and has his dead body dumped back to Mumbai.

	As Sheetal, Vijay and Ravi lament the tragic loss of Shiv, the mysterious man, who attempted to shoot Shiv twice in the city, approaches them and introduces himself as Rakesh, a marksman and former circus performer who used to shoot targets blindfolded. Rakesh confesses that he was blackmailed to work for Shakaal, who had held his wife hostage and that he had deliberately missed on the two previous attempts on Shiv's life in hopes of buying time to save his wife. However, Shakaal had already deduced this and had set up Rakesh's wife in a sabotaged car in retaliation, resulting in her death in a fiery car accident which Rakesh tried to prevent but failed in doing so. ~~Upon learning this~~, Vijay and Ravi join hands with Rakesh in hopes of defeating the underworld of Shakaal together in revenge for the deaths of both Shiv and Rakesh's wife. To that end, the trio seeks the aid of Abdul as he provides them information about Shakaal's contraband warehouse in Mumbai. Even though the trio manages to blow up the warehouse, Shakaal retaliates by having his henchmen target Sheetal and Guddi when Rakesh shows his deadly rifle skills to protect them both while on and around a bridge which has a farmhouse with a stable full of horses.

	At this unsuccessful attempt in seeking revenge, Abdul is chased by Shakaal's henchmen in a night sequence and his death occurs after being forced off a bridge which is raised even as he attempts to cross it. However, a furious Vijay breaks into a bar with back offices where Shakaal's henchmen spend time playing cards and ~~majorly manhandles~~ them all for killing Abdul.

Posing as a dance troupe, the trio, along with Sunita, Renu and Chacha, manages to enter the island and performs for Shakaal, who later shockingly captures them all and reveals that he had only sent Jagmohan (who was faking his injuries) to trap them.

Posing as a dance troupe, the trio, along with Sunita, Renu and Chacha, manages to enter the island and performs for Shakaal, who later shockingly captures them all and reveals that he had only sent Jagmohan (who was faking his injuries) to trap them.

	However, Chacha creates a commotion that allows the trio to be freed and beat Jagmohan and all the rest of Shakaal's henchmen to death. This involves in fight sequences in a gas-filled chamber by Ravi and Rakesh while Vijay also overcomes the man-eating crocodile in a fight with the animal in the artificial pond. Just as the trio, after passing through many hurdles, finally succeeds in capturing Shakaal and is able to kill him using his own methods through his automatic gadgets, Sheetal intervenes and refuses to let them do so, pointing out that their actions can be disrespectful to the law that Shiv upholds. The arguing commotion allows Shakaal to free himself and attempt to shoot everyone, forcing the trio to bravely shoot Shakaal fatally in self-defense. With his last breath, Shakaal pulls the lever and sets the island to self-destruct, however, the trio, Sunita, Renu, Sheetal and Chacha are all able to escape from the exploding island and fly off safely from Shakaal's helicopter, satisfied that they have beaten Shakaal in his tracks for good.

	As Sheetal, Vijay and Ravi lament the tragic loss of Shiv, the mysterious man, who attempted to shoot Shiv twice in the city, approaches them and introduces himself as Rakesh, a marksman and former circus performer who used to shoot targets blindfolded. Rakesh confesses that he was blackmailed to work for Shakaal, who had held his wife hostage and that he had deliberately missed on the two previous attempts on Shiv's life in hopes of buying time to save his wife. However, Shakaal had already deduced this and had set up Rakesh's wife in a sabotaged car in retaliation, resulting in her death in a fiery car accident which Rakesh tried to prevent but failed in doing so. Upon learning this, Vijay and Ravi join hands with Rakesh in hopes of defeating the underworld of Shakaal together in revenge for the deaths of both Shiv and Rakesh's wife. To that end, the trio seeks the aid of Abdul as he provides them information about Shakaal's contraband warehouse in Mumbai. Even though the trio manages to blow up the warehouse, Shakaal retaliates by having his henchmen target Sheetal and Guddi when Rakesh shows his deadly rifle skills to protect them both while on and around a bridge which has a farmhouse with a stable full of horses.

DCP Shiv Kumar ([[Sunil Dutt]]), an honest, brave and upright police officer, returns home to his wife Sheetal (Raakhee Gulzar) and their young daughter Guddi, announcing that he has been transferred to [[Mumbai]]. He has two younger brothers Vijay ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) and Ravi ([[Shashi Kapoor]]) living in Mumbai, who are intelligent and capable youngsters but spend their time indulging in crooked schemes. Vijay and Ravi are also assisted with information about shady characters by a legless beggar named Abdul ([[Mazhar Khan (actor, born 1955)\|Mazhar Khan]]). After being swindled by Renu ([[Bindiya Goswami]]) and Chacha ([[Johnny Walker (actor)\|Johnny Walker]]) in the city, Vijay and Ravi decide to join forces with them and another glamorous thief Sunita (Parveen Babi). However, one of their tricks backfires and lands Vijay and Ravi up in prison, but Shiv bails them out in hopes of shaping them into a much honourable life. Meanwhile, a mysterious man ([[Shatrughan Sinha]]) attempts to shoot Shiv twice in the city, but Shiv survives both times. After learning about the two attempts on Shiv's life, Vijay and Ravi advise him to find a different line of work, arguing that his profession is unpredictable, dangerous and unsuitable for a family man. However, Shiv stands firm by citing his undying patriotic commitment to his corps and his country.

	It eventually turns out that ~~the mysterious man was~~ working for a sadistic international crime lord Shakaal ([[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]), who is operating from a remote island outside [[India]] while funding crime in Mumbai and rejoicing in pain of his enemies and traitors. ~~After learning about the two attempts on Shiv's life~~, ~~Vijay and Ravi advise him to find~~ a ~~different line~~ of ~~work, arguing that his profession is unpredictable, dangerous~~ and ~~unsuitable for~~ a ~~family~~ man. ~~However~~, ~~Shiv stands firm~~ by ~~citing~~ his ~~undying patriotic commitment~~ to ~~his corps and his country~~.

Around the same time, Shiv penetrates the gang of some international smugglers and it eventually turns out that they were all working for a sadistic international crime lord named Shakaal ([[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]), who is operating from a remote island outside [[India]] while funding crime in Mumbai and rejoicing in pain of his enemies and traitors. The island of Shakaal is equipped with hidden cameras and all sorts of automatic gadgets, including a pack of hunting dogs and a man-eating crocodile in an artificial pond below a rotating table with seats. Shakaal kills Ranjeet ([[Sudhir (Hindi actor)\|Sudhir]]), one of his own henchmen, by throwing him into the artificial pond as the prey of the man-eating crocodile after learning that he was an informer about his underworld to Shiv. Due to the fact that Shiv is getting close to finding out the root of the criminal acts in Mumbai, Shakaal has Shiv abducted and brought to his island by his henchmen, where he reveals that he had only arranged the previous two murderous attempts on Shiv and bribes him to join his criminal forces, but Shiv chooses to die in his own line of duty. After a long chase between Shiv and the pack of hunting dogs, Shakaal shoots Shiv to his death on the beach from his helicopter and has his dead body dumped back to Mumbai.

	As Sheetal, Vijay and Ravi lament the tragic loss of Shiv, the mysterious man approaches them and introduces himself as Rakesh, a marksman and former circus performer who used to shoot targets blindfolded.

However, Shakaal had already deduced this and had set up Rakesh's wife in a sabotaged car in retaliation, resulting in her death in a fiery car accident which Rakesh tried to prevent but failed in doing so. Upon learning this, Vijay and Ravi join hands with Rakesh in hopes of defeating the underworld of Shakaal together in revenge for the deaths of both Shiv and Rakesh's wife. To that end, the trio seeks the aid of Abdul as he provides them information about Shakaal's contraband warehouse in Mumbai. Even though the trio manages to blow up the warehouse, Shakaal retaliates by having his henchmen target Sheetal and Guddi when Rakesh shows his deadly rifle skills to protect them both while on and around a bridge which has a farmhouse with a stable full of horses.

	Though it would have appeared that the trio is able to concede defeat over Sheetal's imminent fate, they are approached by one of Shakaal's aides Jagmohan ([[Mac Mohan]]), who offers them his help to gain entry in Shakaal's island as he was brutally injured by Shakaal for his previous failure. Posing as a dance troupe, the trio, along with Sunita, Renu and Chacha, manages to enter the island and performs for Shakaal, who later captures them all and reveals that he had only sent Jagmohan (who was faking his injuries) to trap them. However, Chacha creates a commotion that allows the trio to be freed and beat Jagmohan and all the rest of Shakaal's henchmen to death.		At this unsuccessful attempt to seek revenge, Abdul is chased by Shakaal's henchmen and his death occurs after being forced off a bridge which is raised even as he attempts to cross it. However, a furious Vijay breaks into a bar with back offices where Shakaal's henchmen spend time playing cards and manhandles them all for killing Abdul. Thus, Shakaal is deeply frustrated with all his henchmen and now proceeds to have them abduct Sheetal and hold her captive at his island. Though it would have appeared that the trio is able to concede defeat over Sheetal's imminent fate, they are approached by one of Shakaal's aides Jagmohan ([[Mac Mohan]]), who offers them his help to gain entry in Shakaal's island as he was brutally injured by Shakaal for his previous failure.

However, Chacha creates a commotion that allows the trio to be freed and beat Jagmohan and all the rest of Shakaal's henchmen to death.

	Just as the trio finally succeeds in capturing Shakaal and is able to kill him using his automatic gadgets, Sheetal intervenes and refuses to let them do so, pointing out that their actions can be disrespectful to the law that Shiv upholds. The arguing commotion allows Shakaal to free himself and attempt to shoot Sheetal, forcing the trio to fatally shoot him down in defense. With his last breath, Shakaal pulls the lever and sets the island to self-destruct, however, the trio, Sunita, Renu, Sheetal and Chacha are all able to escape from the exploding island and fly off safely from Shakaal's helicopter, satisfied that they have beaten Shakaal in his tracks for good.
