Loha is an Indian Hindi language action crime superhero film directed by Kanti Shah.
The film features cast including Dharmendra, Mithun Chakraborty, Shakti Kapoor and Mohan Joshi.
It is now considered to be a cult classic falling in the so bad it's so good category, along with Gunda (1998) which was also directed by Shah and starred Chakraborty in the lead role.
Lukka's sidekicks include Salim Chikna (Harish Patel), Takla (Rami Reddy), muscleman Babu Batla (Bajrangi), and Munna Mobile (Razzak Khan).
Lukka ousts his erstwhile mentor Tandya Bhai (Deepak Shirke) to emerge as the number 1 don of Mumbai.
Geeta, an aide of Mustafa (Shakti Kapoor) gets to know about the open challenge that Shankar posed to Lukka.
Secretly, Inspector Kaale lets Batla escape from lockup to start a new life away from Lukka.
They become close friends, and Shankar takes Arjun to the hospital for an operation saving his life.
Shankar finds Lakshmi dead and catches a glimpse of Munna Mobile running away.
He registers a case with Inspector Kaale, who promptly informs Lukka that Shankar is on the lookout for Munna Mobile now.
Next, Shankar, Arjun, and Mustafa plan to destroy the huge stock of Lukka's weapons which he stored at his hotel.
After destroying the weapons, Shankar targets Salim Chikna with a warning that he will be killed by noon the next day.
Inspector Kaale suggests he will apply for TADA to be imposed on Shankar, which includes a shoot at sight order.
After learning that Shankar could be shot any time by the police, Mustafa guides him to steal confidential papers of the minister which contain all his corrupt deeds.
However, due to Shankar's blackmail, the helpless minister had to reverse these orders, and Inspector Kaale was suspended from duty.
The minister tells him he has no choice, but can work in Lukka's favour again if he can get the confidential file from Shankar.
Learning this, the driver rushes to Shankar to save his daughter and also tells him that it was the minister who took his sister to Lukka, which led to her death.
Shankar killed Takla just when the police arrived at the scene, which led to his arrest at the hands of Inspector Sujata.
Mustafa came wearing a bomb that blew up and destroyed parts of Lukka's hideout, killing himself too.
A bullet from Lukka's gun was about to kill Shankar, but Arjun jumped in between, which led to his death.
In his last moments, Arjun asks Shankar to finish his incomplete work and kill Lukka.
After a short physical fight where Shankar beat up Lukka, he finally shot his worst enemy to death.
Many scenes of the film were shot at the HAL Airport in Bengaluru, as was evident by the commercial planes landing and taking off behind the shot and the usage of helicopters in the movie owned by the now-defunct Deccan Aviation, whose hub was at the HAL Airport.
