+Amitabh Bachchan’s celebrated baritone
+introduces in voice-over the film’s political
+context: new laws limiting land ownership
+introduced after Independence threaten the
+zamindar class. One of them, Bade Thakur
+(Kapoor), has a son, Vikram Singh aka Vicky
+(Khanna) who is friendly with Sumer Singh
+(Dharmendra), a member of the hated Jat
+community. Vicky’s younger brother, the
+arrogant Devan (Ghatge), is killed by irate
+villagers and Vicky in turn murders several
+villagers, including the brother of Sumer’s
+girlfriend (Dimple). The friends turn into
+mortal enemies as Sumer becomes the farmers’
+leader. Both Sumer and Vicky are sought by the
+police, especially by Rajendra Pratap Singh
+(Khan), a principled officer despite being the
+youngest son of Bade Thakur. Rajendra
+Pratap’s disdain for caste differences irks his
+junior officer Hanumant Singh (Puri), who
+plans to kill him. The film continues J.P. Dutta’s
+concern with Rajastan’s communal and caste
+wars, the feudal lifestyle of the zamindars, their
+scant respect for human life and the image of a
+powerful, charismatic leader who unites the
+people against the oppressive thakurs. The
+visuals are replete with horses racing across the
+desert, camels, palaces, elaborate costumes,
+sand-dunes, ravines and the mandatory
+vultures.
