After seeing his union-activist father brutally killed at the hands of a policeman, a young boy runs away to Bombay, where conditions force him into a life of crime, and he eventually becomes a Mafia don (played by Kamal Hassan). Often considered India's answer to the Godfather, this action-packed movie features a scintillating finale.
