Storyline
A ex-convict must flee his mob boss, leaving his family to fend for themselves. His wife goes blind and his children are abandoned. They are adopted by a Hindu policeman, a Muslim tailor, and a Catholic priest. The Hindu-raised son becomes a policeman in his turn; his Muslim-raised brother becomes a singer; and the last son, played by Amitabh, becomes a happy-go-lucky Catholic who lives on the edge of the law. The boys meet again and their lives become entangled in an incredible plot full of unlikely coincidences and furious action sequences interspersed with songs. In the end, the grieving mother recovers her sight, the evil mob boss is punished, and the family is at last re-united. Written by gavin@sunny_deol2009@yahoo.com

Trivia
In order to shoot the action scene where the villain falls in a well with his car while chasing the hero, director Manmohan Desai asked cameraman Peter Pereira to get inside the well with his camera. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the adult Akbar is first seen in the movie at the hospital, he refers to Salma by the actress' real-life name, Neetu. See more »Quotes
Anthony Gonzalves: You know the whole country of the system is juxtapositioned by the hemoglobin in the atmosphere because you are a sophisticated rhetorician intoxicated by the exuberance of your own verbosity.See more »
