Vinod Khanna received a Filmfare nomination for Best Supporting Actor.[1] This is one of six films that Vinod Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan starred together in. At the time, the pairing of the two actors often made the film quite successful, especially since both actors were rising stars gunning for the top spot in Hindi Cinema. The movie was an inspiration for the 1978 Telugu movie Rama Krishnulu.[2]

Plot

Vijay and Ajay are two small-time crooks, who loot other rich 'respected' but criminal-minded people for a living. One night, while gambling, Vijay recognizes Sheru, a person who has assisted PK in murdering his father. Vijay's tragic past is something that Ajay is unaware of. PK, meanwhile, roams around scot-free in the disguise of Ghanshyam Das, pretending to be a friend of Vijay. Later on, Ajay discovers his own past and that PK is his father. He deserts Vijay and joins PK. But Ajay has only temporarily started disliking Vijay. Vijay learns the truth about PK. Friendship of Ajay and Vijay is reestablished once Ajay knows the facts. Finally guilty are punished and others live happily ever after.
