Plot

Raja Jaichand (Sadashiv Amrapurkar) is dictator of a distant area close to border. He rules with brutality, killing innocent for his personal entertainment. He doesn't accept authority of Indian Government and colludes with foreign forces to keep his power. Gayatri (Swapna) lives with her two adopted brothers, by the names of Veeru (Dharmendra) and Dheeru (Vinod Khanna), who are small-time crooks, and con men, and are known to the local police. When Gayatri meets and falls in love with Police Inspector Arjun Thanghe (Rajinikanth), the duo are delighted and arrange her marriage with great pomp and ceremony. A flashback sequence reveals that the duo were police trainees. Veeru had fallen in love with their commandant's granddaughter, Sheela (Jaya Prada). On the day of Holi, Veeru planned to ask her hand in marriage. However, a terrorist kills her along with some family members of other police officers as a revenge for his men. Veeru avenges her death, while Dheeru prevents police force for intervening. They are imprisoned for some time for taking law in their hands. In present, duo are recruited by Jaichand's henchwoman Lilly, to eliminate and take place of commandos sent by government to run Police camp in their village. There they find that Arjun was previously assigned to run the camp. Arjun attempted to set things right, but is killed in the process, and Gayatri loses her sanity. The duo decides to avenge their sister, but are stopped by their commandant (Kulbhushan Kharbanda). It is then revealed that despite being thrown out of police force, they had been working undercover for him. He compels them to fight smartly. They take help of local girl, Rasbhari (Sridevi) and infiltrate secret fortress of Jaichand.
