Tridev

Bhujang (Amrish Puri), a powerful crime lord, has an honest politician assassinated on behalf of his arms supplier. Inspector Karan Saxena (Sunny Deol) is assigned to the case. Karan is the son of a respected judge. Karan is in love with Divya (Madhuri Dixit) and they both are engaged. Divya's father is the Commissioner of Police, Mathur (Anupam Kher). Her brother Ravi (Jackie Shroff) is the hot-headed black sheep of the family.

Karan arrests a small-time arms seller, Ramesh and finds out when the arms shipments are smuggled in. At the next arms drop, Karan arrests the dealer Don. Bhujang has Inspector Karan framed and has Ramesh and Karan's father, the judge, killed. Commissioner Mathur is aware of Karan's honesty but has him transferred to a remote village due to pressure from his seniors. At his new post, Karan meets Jai Singh (Naseeruddin Shah) and finds out that Jai's father was murdered by a dacoit called Bhairav. At the time the local police was headed by Mathur, who arrested the wrong man and ignored the testimony of the young Jai.

Bhujang's brother Raghav is doing time for illegal possession of weapons. Bhujang abducts Divya to force her father, Commissioner Mathur, to release Raghav. Ravi breaks Raghav out from prison and Bhujang invites Ravi to join his gang. When Commissioner Mathur decides to bring Karan back, Bhujang sends Ravi and his men to have Karan killed. They tie up Karan in his house and burn it down, but Karan escapes with the help of a knife Ravi gave him in secret. At Bhujang's house, Ravi meets Natasha (Sangeeta Bijlani). Natasha is Ramesh's sister, who is working with the journalist Shrikant to get proof of Bhujang's crimes. Shrikant is later killed before he can publish his proof. Jai Singh leaves for the city. Renuka (Sonam), an actress he met earlier, hires him as a bodyguard as she is impressed when Jai catches a bag snatcher. Renuka is the daughter of a corrupt politician who works with Bhujang and plans to have her married to one of Bhujang's sons. Jai meets Bhujang and recognises him as the Dacoit Bhairav who murdered his father.

Meanwhile, Karan destroys Bhujang's large warehouse which stockpiled smuggled weapons, inflicting a big financial loss to Bhujang. Karan secretly starts working with Ravi to destroy Bhujang's plans When Bhujang plans to rob a global bank to overcome his financial loss, Ravi gives the information to Karan. Jai Singh finds out about the plans when he overhears Renuka's father discussing it with Bhujang's son and takes Renuka to the bank to prove her father's misdeeds to her. At the bank, Karan foils the bank robbery and kills one of Bhujang's sons.

Bhujang captures a large group of policemen along with Commissioner Mathur and has Karan, Ravi and Jai are framed for it. He also captures Divya, Natasha and Renuka. Karan joins forces with Ravi and Jai to fight Bhujang. They escape and break into Bhujang's hideout where they defeat his men and free Divya, Natasha and Renuka along with the captured policemen before cornering Bhujang whom they then kill. The three couples Karan-Divya, Ravi-Natasha and Jai-Renuka finally unite and rejoice.
