| 16 | Billed as a clash of titans between the 60s stars |
| 17 | Raaj and Dilip Kumar, the conflict between two |
| 18 | ageing patriarchs is told as a parable by |
| 19 | Mandhari (Kher). The two are bosom buddies |
| 20 | in their youth and Bir Singh aka Biru (Dilip |
| 21 | Kumar) is supposed to marry Thakur |
| 22 | Rajeshwar Singh’s (Raaj Kumar) sister. |
| 23 | However, he has to abandon her because |
| 24 | honour requires him to save a woman who has |
| 25 | been rejected on the eve of her wedding. The |
| 26 | thakur’s sister commits suicide and the buddies |
| 27 | become bitter enemies, pursuing their feud |
| 28 | over two decades while their respective |
| 29 | families proliferate on either side of the Beas |
| 30 | river. Each maintains a private army to counter |
| 31 | the other’s threat. The real villain, Rajeshwar |
| 32 | Singh’s brother-in-law Chuniya (Puri), has |
| 33 | Biru’s eldest son Vishal (Shroff) killed when he |
| 34 | tries to make peace. Vishal’s son Vasu |
| 35 | (Mushran), sent to an ashram to prepare for |
| 36 | joining his grandfather’s army, now falls in love |
| 37 | with the enemy’s granddaughter Radha |
| 38 | (Koirala) and the two eventually bring the |
| 39 | warring clans together. The partiarchs die in |
| 40 | each other’s arms. Dialogue reigns supreme in |
| 41 | the film but the love interest between Vasu and |
| 42 | Radha (played by newcomers, this being |
| 43 | Koirala’s debut) culminates in the hit song Ilu |
| 44 | ilu. |
