Plot Summary
Karma
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 (Shashi Kiran, Satish Kaul), and daughter-in-law (Beena) are mercilessly gunned down by Deng's men; his youngest son (Jugal Hansraj) 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.

- Subhash Ghai's original choice for the villain's role (Dr. Dang) was Amrish Puri, but the film-maker opted for Anupam Kher instead. Reason: "Amrish has been killed so many times on screen earlier that people wouldn't be interested in watching him get killed yet again," Ghai had revealed then.
