The film was remade in Tamil as Dharma, starring Vijayakanth and in Bangladeshi as Shanto Keno Mastan in 1998.

Deva, an angry young man, lives with his father, Advocate Ashok Pradhan, mother Gayatri, brother Akash, and sister Guddi.

Commissioner of Police Inder Saxena has a genial relationship with Deva and his family, but is secretly planning to apprehend and punish him.

One day, Akash stops at a building under construction erected by "Laal Builders" to deliver some goods.

Incidentally, at the top floor of the building he eavesdrops on the three crime bosses – Jindaal, Laal Singh and Khan devising an evil plot to kill the Chief Minister and frame Deva for the murder.

She rings up Deva, but before she utters the truth, Inder arrives with Jindaal, and Khan and detaches the telephone cord.
