Embedded with charged emotions and family sentiments, this intense socio-political drama revolves around the twists and turns in the life of the honest Chandramohan Azad (Jeetendra), who is an employee and a dedicated union leader. His zeal and hard-work is detested by some of his fellow-workers and his employer, Sinha (Pincho Kapoor).
Consequently, he is framed for the murder of a fellow union worker and sentenced to jail for several years. After his release, he finds out that his brother-in-law, Deshbandhu (Utpal Dutt) is an MLA, and his sister (Seema Deo) is content with the way the things are. Chandramohan's right to assert what is truthful and just is frustrated at every attempt by a corrupt society and law enforcement officers. Will Chandramohan continue to fight inequality or will he himself become part of the system he fights now?
The film is a remake of the Telugu movie Eenadu (1982).
This film marks the first and only occasion in which Jeetendra and Kamal Haasan appear together in a movie.
Kamal Haasan makes an extended cameo appearance in this movie.
Parveen Babi signed and shot for the film but disappeared all of a sudden. She was replaced by Zeenat Aman.
