Central to the plot of Balidaan is a reworking of the legendary outlaw hero Robin Hood, who is believed to have robbed from the rich and given to the poor. Numerous films have adapted the Robin Hood story and several real-life people who have also followed his ideology.[4] In this Hindi-language adaptation, Raja (Manoj Kumar) is a dacoit, a bandit who robs and kills the wealthy and then distributes this wealth to the poor, to whom he feels this wealth rightfully belonged.
