Karma

(1986)

When Jailer Vishwanath Pratap Singh (Dilip Kumar) slaps arch-criminal Dr. Michael Deng (Anupam Kher), he does not realize he has re-shaped his own future, as soon after his two sons, and daughter-in-law are mercilessly gunned down by Deng's men; his youngest son is crippled; and his wife, Rukmani (Nutan) loses her vocal chords. Now calling himself Dada Thakur, Singh is determined to bring an end to Deng, and recruits three prisoners on death-row, namely Baiju Thakur (Jackie Shroff), Johny/Gyneshwar (Anil Kapoor), and a former terrorist Khairuddin Kisti (Naseeruddin Shah) to assist him in his private war against Deng. Dada Thakur does not realize that his army of three have only agreed to join him so that they could enjoy freedom, away from the prison, and from certain death awaiting them.
