Savitri (Moushumi Chatterjee) falls in love with Vijay (Mithun Chakraborty), who saves her sister from a dacait named Shamshera (Amrish Puri). Both get very intimate, and then decide to marry. Before the marriage could take place, Shamshera kills Vijay, and Savitri gives birth to a baby boy, but is told that the child was born dead. She then marries Thakur Prem Singh (Navin Nischal), who is responsible for blinding Shamshera in one eye, and sending him to prison. Subsequently Savitri gives birth to another baby boy, Rajesh (Sumit Saigal). Years later, she comes across a young man named Ravi (also Mithun Chakraborty)

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mithun Chakraborty reportedly filmed both roles simultaneously, confusing even the crew about which character he was playing in certain scenes.
This film rode the 1980s wave of 'rebirth justice' cinema where audiences demanded dead heroes return for vengeance—literally.
