Storyline
| Plot Summary |
This is the story of two brothers, Vijay and Ravi Verma, who follow different career paths: Vijay is a smuggler and Ravi the policeman who is asked to hunt Vijay down. The brothers are the sons of a trade unionist, Anand Verma, who was defeated and disgraced by the firm for which he worked, when after his family was kidnapped he found himself forced to end the strike he had led. Unable to bear the public disgrace, Anand deserts the family; the sons are raised by their mother, who brings them to the city of Bombay and there suffers the tribulations of a poor single mother. Vijay, the elder brother, grows up with an acute awareness of his father's humiliation and is victimized for his father's supposed betrayal of the workers. In the process of fighting for his rights, Vijay, who starts out as a boot polisher and becomes a dockyard worker in his youth, becomes a smuggler and a leading figure of the underworld.

| Quotes |
Vijay:
Your principles, your ideals? What work are your principles of? What work are your ideals of? All your principles mashed up together couldn't make up one time of bread Ravi ! The ideals for which you are ready to play from your life, what has they given you? One rented quarter, a rundown police car, two pairs of brown uniform. Watch, watch today this is all me, today this is all you, we both have stood up together from this pathway, but today where have you remained and where have I arrived. Today I have a bungalow, car, bank balance. What do you have? Ravi: I have mother. See more » |
