Despite Robert's assurance that his family's welfare will be looked after, Kishanlal learned that Robert did not lift even a finger for the man's family as his wife Bharati is suffering from tuberculosis while his three sons are starving. Kishanlal seeks help from Robert, who instead humiliates him and orders his henchmen to kill him. However, Kishanlal escapes in one of Robert's cars loaded with smuggled gold bullion. Kishanlal returns home to find his sons abandoned by Bharati, who had left a suicide note. Kishanlal then takes his sons and leaves them at the foot of Mahatma Gandhi statue in Borivali Park and tells them to wait and that he would return, while he drives off to draw away Robert's henchmen. In an inflamed car crash, Kishanlal is presumed dead by the mobsters and the police, but actually survives. Before his return with the smuggled gold, Kishanlal is distraught to learn that his sons are gone. However, each of the sons are found and adopted: one by a Hindu policeman named Superintendent Khanna, one by a Muslim tailor named Mr. Ilahabadi, and one by a Christian priest named Father Gonsalves. In the meantime, Bharati is struck by a falling branch following her suicide attempt and loses her eye sight. Bharati is distraught to hear from the police that Kishanlal and the boys died from the car crash. Having seemingly lost his dear family, Kishanlal angrily swears vengeance on Robert. 22 years later in 1977, the sons have grown up. The eldest son became a Hindu policeman named Inspector Amar Khanna, the youngest son became a Muslim qawwali singer named Akbar Ilahabadi, and the middle-born son became a Christian licensed liquor seller named Anthony Gonsalves. The three met each other while donating blood for a hit-and-run victim, unaware that the blind recipient is Bharati, who is now selling flowers. In the meantime, Kishanlal is now a wealthy crime lord as he used the smuggled gold to form his own crime syndicate and relied on his connections to destroy Robert's business before forcing a penniless Robert to work for him. It is also revealed that Kishanlal also took in Robert's daughter Jenny as his niece and sent her abroad for college, and that she has returned after graduating. As the story unfolds, each of the three sons finds themselves falling in love. Anthony falls in love with Jenny at a church sermon during Easter Sunday, Amar takes in a one-time crook named Lakshmi and her grandmother after arresting her abusive stepmother, and Akbar falls in love with a young doctor named Salma Ali, whose father Taiyyab disapproves of their relationship. During a police raid on one of Kishanlal's loading docks, Kishanlal and his men are forced to flee, allowing Robert to escape with another shipment of smuggled gold bullion after shooting Superintendent Khanna. Regaining his former position as crime lord and rounding up new mobsters to his cause, Robert intends to retrieve Jenny for himself and get vengeance on Kishanlal for destroying his business. Eventually, Bharati miraculously regains her eyesight at a festival hosted by Akbar that is honoring Sai Baba of Shirdi. She recognizes Akbar as her youngest son Raju, when she sees a photograph of him as a child, and Mr. Ilahabadi recognizes Bharati as the woman he rescued from the falling branch and dropped her home years ago. However, Kishanlal is double-crossed by one of his bodyguards Zebisco, who betrays Jenny to Robert in exchange for her hand in marriage. While Jenny is getting kidnapped by Robert and Zebisco, Father Gonsalves tries to save her, but Robert murders him. Lakshmi is kidnapped by her abusive stepbrother Ranjeet, who also works for Robert. Taiyyab and Salma find themselves in a house fire arranged by some prostitutes who worked under Taiyyab. However, Akbar saves Salma and Taiyyab, who gratefully gives his blessings to Akbar and Salma's relationship. In their pursuit of justice against Robert after learning what happened, the three brothers finally discover their mutual heritage with each other along with Kishanlal and Bharati, reuniting the family once again. Determined to make Robert and his men pay for their crimes, the three brothers pose as an elderly tailor, a one-man band, and a Catholic priest and infiltrate Robert's mansion along with Salma, who helps Jenny and Lakshmi escape. The three brothers then reveal themselves and beat up Robert and his men (including Ranjeet and Zebisco) before having them all arrested and sent to prison for their crimes. However, Bharati is distraught to learn that Kishanlal has been sent back to prison for his past crimes, but Kishanlal comforts her by saying that the only thing that matters to him is that their family is reunited once again. Kishanlal is allowed to share a brief heartfelt hug with his sons, who then ride happily into the sunset with their loved ones.
