Story

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

The movie tells the story of two brothers, Vijay and Ravi Verma, who follow different career paths(of a smuggler and a cop respectively). Vijay is the elder one and sees his mother go through tough times to bring up her sons. So he follows the path of crime to make quick bucks. Ravi joins police force, though not intentionally, but for livelihood.

As the professions chosen by them are so contrasting in nature, and since they live in the same city (in fact the same house) they were very naturally bound to confront each other. Their mom has to make a choice now, between the two sons. Being an idealist, she chooses to support Ravi.

Dialogues from the movie

  • Aaj khush to bahut hoge tum.....jo aaj tak tumhare mandir ki siidiyan nahin chada....jisne kabhi tumhare samne haatj nahin jode wo aaj tumhare saamne haath failaye kahada hai.......ye tumhari jeet nahin haar hai haar......hum ghar se beghar ho gaye......mera baap jeeteji mar gaya.....meri maa suhagan hote huye bhi vidhwa bani rahi....lekin aaj tak maine tumse kuch nahin maanga....

(Vijay addressing the God's idol: You must be very happy today that someone who hasn't climbed the steps of your temple, someone who never folded hands in front of you - that same someone is standing with hands spread in front of you. It is not your victory but defeat. We had lost our shelter; My dad died; My mom had to live like a widow though she wasn't one for many years. Yet, I have never asked you for anything, ...till today).

  • Yeh dekho yeh wohi main hoon aur yeh wohi tum. Aaj main kahan pahuch gaya hoon aur tum kahan ho. Aaj mere paas buildingey hai, gaadi hai, bank balance hai. Tumhare paas kya hai. Kyaa hai tumhare paas. ................ Mere paas ... Maaa Hai.

(Look at me today, and look at you. See where I have reached, and where you remain. Today I have buildings, cars, a bank balance. What do you have? - I have Mom.)

  • Haan main sign karoonga.

(Yes, I will sign)

  • Jab ek bhaai bolega to ek bhaai sunega, jab ek mujrim bolega to ek police officer sunega.

(When a brother talks, a brother will listen. When a criminal talks, a police officer will listen.)

  • Uff tumhare yeh usool, yeh aadarsh. Kis kaam ke hai yeh. Inko gondhkar do waqt ki roti naheen banaayi jaa sakti

(Oh, these principles, these ideals of yours. What use are these? They cannot be pawned for two square meals)
