Billed as a clash of titans between the 60s stars Raaj and Dilip Kumar, the conflict between two ageing patriarchs is told as a parable by Mandhari (Kher). The two are bosom buddies in their youth and Bir Singh aka Biru (Dilip Kumar) is supposed to marry Thakur Rajeshwar Singhs (Raaj Kumar) sister. However, he has to abandon her because honour requires him to save a woman who has been rejected on the eve of her wedding. The thakurs sister commits suicide and the buddies become bitter enemies, puruing their feud over two decades while their respective families proliferated on either side of the Beas river. Each maintains a private army to counter the others threat. The real villain, Rajeshwar Singhs brother-in-law Chuniya (Puri), has Birus eldest son Vishal (Shroff) killed when he tries to make peace. Vishals son Vasu (Mushran), sent to an ashram to prepare for joining his grandfathers army, now falls in love with the enemys granddaughter Radha (Koirala) and the two eventually bring the warring clans together. The patriarchs die in each others arms. Dialogue reigns supreme in the film but the love interest between Vasu and Radha (played by newcomers) cluminates in the hit song Ilu ilu.
