Rama Rao under the Srinath Productions banner.[1] It stars Jeetendra, Rajinikanth, Rishi Kapoor, Poonam Dhillon, Kimi Katkar and Bhanupriya, with music composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal.[2] The film was a remake of 1977 Tamil film Chakravarthy which was also remade later in Telugu as Mugguru Mithrulu (1985) and later in Kannada as Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara (1988). It marked Bhanupriya's Bollywood film debut.[3]
The film begins with three soulmates, Sandeep, Ranjith, & Prakash. Daaga, Ranjith's father, is a deadly gangster. In a swap, Ranjith hands him over to the Police. However, he absconds with his wife & daughter Rekha, evading Ranjith, whom Sandeep's parents foster. Years roll by, and the three mates grow along with their bondage. Sandeep becomes a renowned Doctor, Ranjith is a fearless cop, and Prakash is a leading criminal lawyer. The three always have uphill battles with Daaga, who must achieve the apex in crime and is unbeknownst to Ranjith. Besides, Ranjith & Prakash perturb with hotheaded Sandeep against injustice.
Meanwhile, annoyed, Daaga hurls his henchman, who molests Ranjith’s pregnant wife, Latha. Here, enraged, Sandeep wallops the blackguard and takes a word from Latha to be quiet. Exploiting it, Daaga slays his sidekick and incriminates Sandeep. Thus, a rift arises as duty-bound Ranjith apprehends Sandeep, and Prakash defends him. Since Sandeep is compelled, Prakash forges a woman, Rekha, as Sandeep’s wife and acquits him. However, Ranjith does not give up and ceaselessly seeks to unearth the fact, but in vain. Next, Sandeep truly knits Rekha. Prakash falls for a pickpocket, Shanti, a victim of Daaga. Ongoing the situation gets more complex, Latha reveals the truth to Ranjith. Nevertheless, he wholeheartedly accepts her. At last, the three fuse and cease Daaga when Ranjith & Rekha realize they are siblings and Daaga is their father. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note, with the three proceeding with their friendship.
