Ram Lakhan

<p>Sharda is happily married to the rich and benevolent Thakur Pratap Singh. The couple have two young sons, Ram and Lakhan. Pratap’s father, Veer Singh, shows mercy to his nephews, Bhishambar and Bhanu after they serve jail time for siphoning the family wealth. Veer Singh is tricked into signing a will that deprives Pratap, Sharda, Ram, and Lakhan of the family wealth and right to live in their ancestral manor. Veer Singh is then killed by a car explosion. Pratap refuses to bow down to the cruel Bhishambar after finding out their master plan. He is later severely beaten up, brutally stabbed, and left on a nearby railway track to be cut into pieces by the next passing train, leaving behind Sharda, Ram, and Lakhan. Sharda vows to avenge Pratap’s death and hopes to get it by visiting the temple every day, and praying for justice. She talks about when her sons grow up and ultimately destroy Pratap’s assailants, and it is then and only then that she will disperse Pratap’s ashes. Ram, now a police inspector, becomes a major obstacle in Bhishambar’s illegal activities. He is in love with Geeta, the daughter of Police Commissioner Arun Kashyap. Lakhan is the fun-loving, precocious young man, still living under Ram’s shadow and Sharda’s love. When Lakhan finds out there is a big reward for the arrest of notorious gangster Kesariya Vilayti, he single-handedly captures him and claims the reward. Thinking police work is quite easy, Lakhan applies for the job, begins training, and eventually becomes an inspector also. He too seeks to use his new job to woo his childhood sweetheart Radha and deal with her stingy, eccentric but easily fooled father, Deodhar Shastri. Sharda heads on a religious pilgrimage and when she returns, she finds that Ram and Lakhan have quarreled and no longer speak with each other based on their ideological differences. Lakhan uses his power to make extra money in an attempt to raise his clout so he can take revenge against Bishamber and Bhanu. While Ram creates obstacles for Bhishambar, Lakhan joins his gang and is on their payroll. However, after he is tricked by Bhishamber and the ruthless gangster, Sir John, Ram has to come to terms and save his brother and finish what was once started. As the duo fight their enemies, Bishamber is pushed down by Lakhan and the coming train cuts him as Thakur was pushed down and killed in the same way, and Bhanu is shot down.
