Tiger is forced to go on the run with his two half-brothers with his girlfriend Jumma who decides to stay behind so that Tiger can fully concentrate on looking after his brothers. Many years later, he is now known as Shekhar and is living a happy life with his two grown-up brothers Kumar (Rajnikant) and Vijay (Govinda) as well as Kumar's wife Aarti (Deepa Sahi) and a daughter, Jyoti.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan : A David Dhawan Film : Inspired by William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors!!

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (literally translating to "Big Brother, Small Brother" in English) is a 1998 Bollywood film starring Govinda in a double role, Amitabh Bachchan in a double role, Anupam Kher, Ramya Krishna, and Raveena Tandon. Directed by David Dhawan, it was released in 1998 and was the first of Amitabh's films that had success at the box office since his comeback after a few years of hiatus from the Bollywood industry. is a remake of the Hollywood film Bad Boys.And is also inspired by William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors.

Two friends, Arjun Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) and Pyare Mohan (Govinda), are in the police force. Amitabh's sister Seema (Raveena Tandon) is in love with Pyare. Amitabh has no female companion and some pretty crude comments are often passed about his age.

Meanwhile, the villain Jorawar (Paresh Rawal) kills a cop who tries to pry into his private affairs—that's smuggling of arms and diamonds. Rawal also appears terrified of the police, but the mood seems to come and go. For when it comes to snuffing one out, he has no problem doing it. Along with the cop, he also gets rid of an eyewitness, played by Divya Dutta in a blink-and-you-miss-her role.

But there's another eyewitness, Neha (Ramya Krishnan), friend of the girl you hardly saw. She comes up to Arjun, confusing him for Pyare, but that's all cleared up in a few song sequences or so. Darned useful, these songs; nice way to get rid of uncomfortable problems.

Anyway, the trouble begins when the villains begin hunting for Neha, just when she's cavorting around with Arjun. Just when the heroes are all ready to go up a notch over the villains, in pop two petty thieves whom even their mothers would confuse for Arjun and Pyare. They call themselves Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan. The plot's in knots.

Arjun and Pyare are blamed for every crime the crooks commit and things aren't helped when Anupam Kher, the police commissioner, is also thrashed by the doubles.

Shahenshah : Rishte Me Hum Tumhare Baap Hote Hain Naam Hai Shahenshah!!

Shahenshah (Urdu & Persian: King of Kings) is a 1988 Bollywood superhero film directed by Tinnu Anand and starring Amitabh Bachchan in the title role. The film was produced and directed by Tinnu Anand. The story of the film was written by Amitabh Bachchan's wife Jaya Bachchan and the screenplay was written by veteran screenwriter Inder Raj Anand who died before the film was released. The film marked Bachchan's comeback after a three year hiatus during which he had entered politics. Due to the hype of Amitabh Bachchan's comeback Shahenshah went onto do well at the box office.

he movie opens with a corrupt and sniveling bank manager Mathur (Prem Chopra) and crime baron JK (Amrish Puri). Mathur is in a financial dilemma, and JK orchestrates a bank robbery to bail him out. Inspector Shrivastav (Kader Khan) gets wind of this plot and is about to crack the case when JK enlists an exotic dancer, Julie (Aruna Irani), to use the robbery as a backdrop and frame the honest inspector for corruption.

Inspector Shrivastav, unable to bear the false charges, hangs himself at home after being released on bail. This creates a lasting and powerful impression on his young son, Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan). Vijay retains the noose his father used to hang himself.

Years later, Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) grows up in the care of Inspector Aslam Khan (Pran), and becomes a cop himself. Aslam Khan is an honest cop much like Vijay's father. Vijay is an obsequious and cowardly inspector, prone to bribery and generally scared of powerful criminals. It doesn't take JK long to find Vijay, get him on payroll, and run his underworld crime empire (drugs, guns, racketeering) past the cops.

A new apparition bursts upon this scene. This is Shahenshah, a costumed crime fighter (see movie poster). This iron hand is used to attack enemies and smash objects, and Shahenshah's other weapon is a noose. Shahenshah describes himself as "one who doesn't hold a cop's job but does the same work; one who apprehends criminals himself, conducts the trials himself, and, pronounces and executes the sentences himself". It is revealed a bit later that Shahenshah is actually Vijay. Frustrated and helpless at the corruption in the police force, Vijay has employed this new tack to get to the criminals. Vijay/Shahenshah's outward mission is to take out crime, but his real goal is to get to the guys who framed his father.

Shahenshah quietly breaks up several of JK's gambling dens and illicit liquor distilleries. He also halts the demolition of a slum. This catches the eye of small-time trickster Shalu (Meenakshi Seshadri) who lives there with her aging and ailing mother Julie. JK had ordered her assassination after she helped frame Vijay's father; she has been on the run from him ever since; this becomes Shalu's motivation for seeking out and eliminating JK. Shalu decides to infiltrate JK's coterie by becoming an exotic dancer.

The fun begins when JK murders an honest news reporter Salim (Vijayendra Ghatge) who was about to expose JK's crime ring. Salim was engaged to Shaheena (Supriya Pathak), the daughter of Aslam Khan. Vijay now decides to turn around his image as a cowardly cop. He openly defies JK. Julie agrees to testify against JK. Shalu provides ancillary evidence. And JK prepares for an all out war against Shahenshah, Vijay, Shalu and the lot of his enemies.

There is a veritable bloodbath on the streets as Inspector Vijay tries to get Julie into the courthouse. And there is a final showdown where Shahenshah reveals his secret identity and becomes the nemesis for all the culprits.

Kaala Patthar : Black Stone : Teesre Baadshah hum hain

Kaala Patthar (English: Black Stone) is a 1979 Indian Bollywood action/drama film. It was produced and directed by Yash Chopra. The story was written by Salim-Javed. This film is the fourth collaboration between Amitabh Bachchan and director Yash Chopra after the hugely successful Deewaar (1975), Kabhie Kabhie (1976) and Trishul (1978). However, this film did average business at the box office, but did good business in the big cities.Despite its many Filmfare nominations, it failed to win any awards.

The words " Kaala Patthar" refers to coal. This movie was inspired by Chasnala mining disaster.

Vijay Pal Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) is a disgraced Merchant Navy captain who is branded a coward, humiliated by society and disowned by his parents for abandoning ship risking the lives of over 300 passengers (perhaps inspired by Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim). Feeling guilty over his cowardice and with low self-esteem, he starts working as a coal miner to forget his past. He meets and becomes friends with Ravi (Shashi Kapoor), an engineer incharge of the mine. He also makes an enemy in another co-worker named Mangal (Shatrughan Sinha) who is an escaped criminal working in the mine to avoid the police. Vijay's past comes to haunt him as he sees Mangal causing trouble for the coal miners and angry over his cowardice over what happened when he was in the navy, Vijay tries to defend the miners against Mangal. Ravi eventually gets Vijay and Mangal to be friends after circumstances surrounding the mine force Mangal to change himself. The one person who supports Vijay him in his life is Dr Sudha Sen (Raakhee Gulzar) who tries to make Vijay face up to his past and move on. Ravi and Mangal also get involved in their own romances with Anita (Parveen Babi) and Channo (Neetu Singh) respectively.

When Seth Dhanraj (Prem Chopra) makes lives difficult for the coal miners by giving them poor equipment, less than sufficient medical supplies and lack of facilities, Vijay, Ravi and Mangal forcefully come together to fight for justice against Dhanraj when water floods the mines endangering the lives of hundreds of workers. The disaster actually took place at a place called Chasnala in erswhile Bihar(now Jharkand).

Dialogues

"Teesre Baadshah hum hain" (I am the third King) legendary dialogue spoken in style by Shatru,[citation needed] after a card game, pure machismo. "ek angoothi main bhi le loonga" "My pain is my destiny and I can't avoid it."

Nastik : This film became a 'blockbuster' at box office!!

Nastik is a 1983 Hindi film produced by Vinod Doshi and directed by Pramod Chakravorty. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Pran, Deven Verma, Sarika, Amjad Khan, Aruna Irani, Madan Puri, Bhagwan Dada, Nalini Jaywant, Rita Bhaduri, Lalita Pawar, Bob Christo and Tom Alter. The music is by Kalyanji Anandji.This film became a 'blockbuster' at box office.

In the long and illustrious career of the Indian superstar, Amitabh Bachchan: alas this movie does nothing to contribute to it.

The movie sucks big time. I am truly struggling to find some positives in this film. Yes, Big B was in his heyday when this film was made, but…….. Yes, Hema Malini looks ethereal but there’s only so much that you can watch of her. And to top it all the film is not even so atrociously bad that you can really enjoy it. It’s just pathetic and at the end of it, you are left shaking your head.

Characters and situations pop out of nowhere. Marriages are fixed, introductions between long-lost relations happen and problems are resolved in the blink of an eye. No one seems to have bothered about continuity. View it for some of the most stupid editing this side of the Atlantic. The music is singularly uninspiring. Amateurish and incompetent scripting, uninspiring acting and contrived situations rule the roost. The audience seems to be an intruder in such a madcap fast-forward vendetta story.

Roughly from 1983 when this movie was made, till about the year 2000, most of the Big B movies have been sheer garbage, with some exceptions. Nastik seems to have started the downslide.

The story:

If after all this ranting of mine, someone is still interested in the story, well here goes.

This was the age of the evil zamindars (rural landlords) as villains in the Hindi film. And so the film starts-off with an introductory song with the kids (soppy ones, at that) of a village priest (the eternally grieving actor, Bharat Bhushan) singing to the lord in the temple. The resident evil zamindar’s son makes plans to steal the valuable jewels of the temple idol and in the process manages to murder the priest, burn the family house down, render the priests wife blind, separates the family, the kid running away from the law to the city and turning into a Nastik (Athiest). All of that before the credits and within the first 30 minutes.

And so the runaway kid turns to thievery (and into Amitabh Bachchan too) in his youth. His partners-in-crime whom he bumps-into on the way are Pran and Hema Malini. Pran with a dismal past of his own (a raped daughter now mentally deranged). Incidently the villain for both turns out to be the zamindar (and rapist) who has now grown-up into Amjad Khan.

Amjad Khan (who was stabbed by the young AB leading to the loss of his eyesight in one eye) has by now evolved from relieving temple idols of their jewels. He is now into harebrained schemes of smuggling diamonds through false eyes and smuggling gold and drugs through idols and statues. Sarika (Kamal Hassan’s real-life ex-wife) stars in a cameo as AK’s sister with a minor crush on AB.

AB in the city who was under the impression that his mother and sister burnt-down with the house, suddenly bumps across (and keeps bumping-across) them in the city. The finale? Well: they all troop back to his village to take revenge on the zamindar and AB is turns into a reborn theist on the way.

And so

When you do maneuver your way through those old tired clichés, soppy mums, the gangsters lairs with the ubiquitous red light at the entrance and lots of multicoloured flashing lights inside, all you are left with is a buzzing head and a severe indigestion of Hindi films.

The chemistry between AB and HM is something to watch though, if you insist on some takeaways from the film.

God Tussi Great Ho : गॉड तुस्सी ग्रेट हो!!

God Tussi Great Ho (Hindi: गॉड तुस्सी ग्रेट हो) is a 2008 Indian comedy film, written and directed by Rumi Jaffery and starring Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Sohail Khan and Amitabh Bachchan in a special appearance. The film was released on August 15, 2008.

The film's story-line resembles that of Bruce Almighty, the 2003 Hollywood comedy film starring Jim Carrey. Arun Projapati (Salman Khan) has been trying to be a successful TV anchor, but success has always eluded him. He blames God (Amitabh Bachchan) for this lack of success. Arun is head over heels in love with Alia (Priyanka Chopra), who is a TV anchor and a well-known star working in the same channel, but he has never been able to express his love for her. When Rocky (Sohail Khan) is appointed as an anchor for the channel, Arun starts believing that Rocky will win Alia. Later, Arun is expelled from the channel. He has nobody to blame but God Himself, whom he later meets in person. An argument ensues between the two, at the end of which God then decides to give Arun the power over all things for ten days, wherein Arun may prove that he is a better operator of the universe. Arun then uses this power to put Rocky into an uneasy spot and win Alia's heart. After God scolds him for only making things better for himself, Arun starts listening to people's prayers. He later realizes that considering each person's wishes individually would be too time-consuming, so to save time and effort he grants everybody's wishes, including the wish of criminals to be free, and the Rocky's wish that Alia marries him. He later asks God why is everything happening towards him. God explains it is his own fault and that everyone cannot blame Him for this. Arun feels bad, but God forgives him and starts his life over again. During the game show, he tricks Rocky into lying about loving Alia, and Alia turns on him. Arun wins the heart of Alia.

God Tussi Great Ho did not have a good run at the box office, apart from a few single screens. However the movie has emerged as a moderate success on the home video circuit

[edit] Reviews

Zoom TV has given Aladin 2.5/5 saying that "Aladin fails to enchant". They have also criticized that Jacqueline has been put in the cast for the sake of an actress and she hasn't got much to do. However according to the scale 2.5/5 is an average. They have praised Amitabh Bachchan for his performance in the movie as 'genius'. Entertainment Daily has given the verdict saying that "Aladin is surely a let down." Nonetheless they have praised the special-effects used in the film. Noyon Jyoti Parasara from AOL India praised the SFX but also pointed out, "Despite a good enough story to carry the film ahead, Aladin falls due to blunders in screenplay. Attempts to rush up things and add entertainment make the story go haywire." He rated the film 2 out of 5.

Lal is a very helping person and dead set against crime. In the same city lives Vikram Singh alias Vicky Baadshah (Raghuvaran) who is the Don of the city always clashing with Lal Baadshah. Vicky is the son of Dayal Singh (Amrish Puri) who lives far away from Mumbai in a castle. Vicky & his brother Ajit Singh (Mukesh Rishi), a corrupt police officer want to rule the city.

Meanwhile, Lal meets Kiran (Manisha Koirala), an L.I.C. agent who falls in love with him & is determined to become his wife. At the castle, Dayal Singh is still hunting for the treasures of the Maharaja, whom he murdered years ago along with his brother Sultan Singh (Prem Chopra). When the Maharaja was murdered, his son, Dewan Ranbir Singh (also Amitabh Bachchan) hid the treasure, for which Dayal Singh tried to murder him. What is the link between Ranbir Singh and his look-alike Lal Singh and will Dayal Singh be able to ever find the treasure?

Nishabd : Inspired from Poison Ivy (film)!!

Nishabd (Devnagari: निशब्द, meaning wordless) is a 2007 Bollywood movie directed by Ram Gopal Varma, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Jiah Khan inspired from Poison Ivy (film) (1992).

The film opens with young Ritu (Shraddha Arya) inviting her friend Jia (Jiah Khan) to spend the holidays with her at her home in Kerala. Ritu's parents Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) and Amrita (Revathi) make a beautiful home surrounded by picture-perfect surroundings. Vijay is a photographer and Amrita is a homemaker.

Jia has a dark past. Her mother lives alone in Australia and Jia studies in India. She is a free spirited girl with no attachments and no worries. She professes some affinity to Vijay but it doesn't go much further than that. But Vijay's world is turned upside down when he takes pictures of Jia watering herself down with the garden hose. Something innocent grows into something bigger, and something bigger grows into something beyond control.

Jia's world collides with Vijay's world causing three casualties. Ritu witnesses an intimate moment between Vijay and Jia and tries to get Jia out of the house without revealing the truth to her mother,but fails. Around this time, Amrita's brother Shridhar (Nassar) visits them. Through a sequence of events, he uncovers the disturbing truth about Jia and Vijay. Shridhar questions Vijay and realises that things are serious between Jia and Vijay. Vijay confesses his love for Jia to Amrita leaving her shattered.

Rishi(Aftab Shivdasani), the unrequited lover of Jia visits to surprise Jia on her birthday. Shridhar tells Vijay to objectively look at things and decide if he is right for Jia. Vijay realises that the relationship with Jia is not the best for her and tells her to leave. Jia is heartbroken and calls him a hypocrite and leaves with Rishi.

The family is still in pieces after Jia's departure. Ritu leaves for America and Amrita is unable to forgive her husband. We see Vijay reliving his moments with Jia all the time. He drives for hours and finally stands on top of cliff ready to jump. But then he remembers his moments with Jia and returns home.

Shridhar asks Vijay where he had gone and Vijay tells him he had gone to die. The film ends with his conversation with Shridhar saying that he is not scared of death. He says he has nothing left to live for, no wife, no daughter, no Jia. But he came back as he wants to live for a while with Jia's memory; that's all.

Sooryavansham : Its people justly and fairly!I!

Sooryavansham is a 1999 Bollywood movie starring Amitabh Bachchan in a dual role, Soundarya, Rachana Bannerjee, Anupam Kher and Kader Khan. Although the film was a box office flop critics hailed Amitabh Bachchan's performance as his best ever since his comeback in 1997.[1] It is the Hindi remake of the Tamil film Suryavamsam, starring Sarath Kumar and Devayani.
For generations the Sooryavansh family has ruled the village communities and its people justly and fairly. Current generation is headed by Thakur Bhanupratap Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) who is feared and respected in the village. He has 3 sons; the youngest named Heera (Amitabh in a dual role) is treated like a servant because he is the most illiterate of the family, and he will not have anything to do with him.

Heera is an obedient son and always respectful of his father despite his father's indifference. His father is enraged when Heera proposes to marry his childhood sweetheart, Gauri (Rachana Bannerjee); and even more angered when Heera backs down promising never to marry again. Unknown to Thakur, Gauri refuses to marry an illiterate and makes Heera promise that he will not marry her.

At this time, Radha (Soundarya) enters his life; understanding his gentle and kind manner, she loves and proposes to marry him. She encourages Heera to live independently; and to help set up his own business. By now, Heera is completely disowned by his father Thakur for breaking his promise of lifelong bachelorhood.

Heera and Radha leave the village to live in their own home and Heera becomes a successful businessman, and Radha an important government officer. Soon, they are blessed with a son. Heera successfully fulfills what was once his father's dream, a charitable hospital for the poor.

Thakur comes to know of his grandchild, and meets him secretly without anyone knowing. One day, he is rushed to hospital, apparently poisoned by food sent to him by Heera, and Heera becomes the prime suspect of the attempted murder.

In the end, it is revealed that the person responsible was Thakur's arch nemesis, Khewara Thakur. Khewara Thakur and Bhanupratap have a face-off in front of the hospital with Heera helping to eliminate the enemy.

In the movie great actress Rekha has given her sound for the Gauri and the mother of Heera.This film was the remake of a Tamil film with Sarath Kumar in the place of Amitabh Bachchan.

"I can talk English, I can walk English, and I can laugh English because English is a very phunny language. Bhairoñ becomes Byron and Byron becomes Bhairoñ because their minds are very narrow. In the year nineteen hundred and twenty nine, Sir, when India was playing against Australia in Melbourne city, Vijay Merchant and Vijay Hazare, they were at the crease and Vijay Merchant told Vijay Hazare, “Look Vijay Hazare, this is a very prestigious match and you must consider this match very carefully. So considering the consideration that Vijay Hazare gave Vijay Merchant, Vijay Merchant told Vijay Hazare that ultimately we must take a run and when they were striking the ball on the leg side, Sir, the consideration came into an ultimatum and ultimately Vijay Hazare went to Vijay Merchant and said…

In the year nineteen hundred and seventy nine, when India was playing against Pakistan in Wankede stadium Bombay, Wasim Raja and Wasim Bari, they were at the crease and Wasim Bari gave the same considertion to Wasim Raja and Wasim Raja told Wasim Bari “look sir, this ultimately has to end in a consideration which I cannot consider therefore the consideration that you are giving me must be considered very ultimately.” Therefore the run that they were taking, Wasim Raja told Wasim Bari “Wasim Bari you take the run…” and ultimately both of them ran inconsiderately, they got out."

Toofan : A superhero who uses his crossbrow as a weapon!!

Toofan (English: Storm) is a 1989 science fiction fantasy Bollywood movie directed by Ketan Desai and starring Amitabh Bachchan in a double role as twin brothers. One is the title character Toofan, a superhero who uses his crossbrow as a weapon and the other is a magician named Shyam. Ketan Desai's father Manmohan Desai produced the film.

The film opens with a daredevil escape magician Ramesh Kumar (Ramesh Deo) receiving word that his close friend Inspector Hanuman Prasad (Pran) has just lost his wife during childbirth. As Ramesh's wife is unable to bear children, the inspector entrusts one of his twin children to Ramesh, to rear as his own, so they may both enjoy the children. They decide to keep this a secret between them (and the doctor). Ramesh returns to Bombay and the boy, Shyam, learns the tricks of the trade to become Shyam jadugar (Shyam the magician, played by Amitabh Bachchan). Ramesh meets an untimely death during a failed Chinese Water Torture Cell escape trick, and his wife steadfastly dissuades Shyam from pursuing magic. However, Shyam resolves to perform the escape successfully as a tribute to his late father.

The film moves to the village of Udhampur, where a corrupt ACP Sharma (Kamal Kapoor) conspires with a notorious daku (bandit) Shaitan Singh (Goga Kapoor) to waylay a train transporting a large cache of Government gold bullion. Inspector Hanuman Prasad is falsely implicated in the robbery. He learns of the conspiracy, writes out his theory (naming Shaitan Singh and Sharma) on a small slate, and sets off to stop the ferocious daku. After a vicious fight aboard the train, Shaitan Singh throws him to his death. (Shaitan Singh lops off his own arm, handcuffed to the inspector, to detach the inspector and crush him under the wheels of the train.) Shaitan Singh escapes, stashes the gold cache somewhere, and double crosses the ACP. But the plot backfires, and Shaitan Singh lands in jail for an extended term.

Inspector Hanuman Prasad's ten year old son seeks refuge in a Hanuman temple, and prays fervently to be able to find the conspirators behind the death of his father. (Rain had accidentally erased the two names from the small slate; thus while the boy is convinced his father was innocent, he still does not know the real culprits.) In answer to his devoted prayer, he is granted supernatural powers (increased strength and the ability to summon storms at will) and a weapon (long range crossbow). The boy grows up, armed and empowered, to become Toofan (the storm, also played by Amitabh Bachchan). Costumed in saffron-red and black (colors typically attributed to his deity, Lord Hanuman), Toofan becomes a local savior for Udhampur. He fights off marauding dakus and local thugs, officiates at local functions, and serves as the marshal at large for the town. However, Toofan's principal aims are to assert his father's innocence and avenge his father's death.

Meanwhile, in Bombay, a rich and cunning seth (Raza Murad) falsely cites dire circumstances and tricks Shyam into cracking a safe. Shyam is arrested. When he is released on bail, he returns to frame the seth and gets the seth caught red handed at another con job. But this con job involves some dangerous international criminals; Shyam's cover is blown and he is forced to flee; the gangsters chase Shyam to kill him. In the resulting fracas, Shyam's close friend Gopal (Farooque Sheikh), in a bid to save Shyam, is hit by a truck and loses his arms. A dejected Gopal returns to his hometown, Udhampur.

The film takes another turn when Shaitan Singh escapes from prison. After repeated encounters with various local dakus, Toofan learns that Shaitan Singh was connected with his father's death. Toofan seeks out Shaitan Singh. After a vicious fight near a waterfall, Shaitan Singh pulls a cheap trick and Toofan falls into the river several hundred feet below. Some cops find him at a riverbank, identify him as Shyam Jadugar and bring him to Bombay. Thereafter, knowing Toofan is out, Shaitan Singh and his fellow dakus resume their raids on Udhampur. In one such raid, they loot Gopal's house and kill him. Around this time, in Bombay, the doctor reveals the secret of the twins. Shyam arrives in Udhampur to visit Gopal. Finding Gopal dead, and resolving to find his killers, Shyam decides to invoke his doppelganger Toofan and challenge Shaitan Singh once again.

Toofan awakens at a hospital in Bombay, and is immediately returned to Shyam's mother, who believes he is Shyam. Shyam is still wanted by the cops for his involvements with the seth. Toofan, posing as Shyam, plays a trick to expose the seth and exonerate Shyam. Having performed this duty, he decides to return to Udhampur and settle affairs with his old nemesis.

ACP Sharma retires from the force, and decides to go after Shaitan Singh (really the gold). Shaitan Singh kidnaps Gopal's son to lure Toofan; when Shyam shows up, posing as Toofan, Shaitan Singh overpowers him easily, shackles him up, locks him up in a railway car, and orders the train towards the cache. ACP Sharma tries to waylay the tracks (with dynamite), but is intercepted by Toofan and forced to fill out the two missing names on the slate. Shaitan Singh's train passes by; Shaitan Singh shoots Sharma; and Toofan gets on board. Shaitan Singh gets off the train (with his gold) and shoots the driver; the train continues over an unfinished bridge, and lands in the river thereby placing Shyam into a Chinese Water Torture Cell again. Shaitan Singh takes his gold into a waiting airplane. Toofan follows the airplane and engages Shaitan Singh in combat. This time, Toofan replays Shaitan Singh's old trick back upon him and the daku falls to his death. Meanwhile, Shyam is able to perform the escape successfully, thus achieving his redemption.

The film ends with the brothers being reunited.
