Dharma is a 1973 Bollywood action
film directed by Chand. The film stars Pran in
the title role. The rest of the cast includes Ajit, Madan
Puri, Bindu and
the pair Navin Nischol and Rekha. The film
became a "Superhit" at the box office.
Sevak Singh Dharma is a dreaded dacoit living
in isolation with his followers Bhairav Singh (Rajan Haksar), Mangal Singh
(Madan Puri) and his wife Parvati (Geeta Siddharth) amongst others. He kills
Bhairav for betraying his trust during a police encounter. While escaping in a
boat, both his young son, Suraj, and wife are hit by gunfire by inspector Ajit
Singh (Ajit) and considered drowned, while he survives and lands up in a city
as the feared dacoit, Chandan Singh. Chandan Singh takes revenge on Ajit
Singh's family and abducts his wife Asha and daughter Radha (both played by
Rekha). Asha gets killed accidentally while Radha is rescued by a prostitute.
Flash forward: Ajit Singh is now the Inspector General of Police; Chandan Singh
is impersonating Nawab Sikander Bakht. Radha is a dancer who flips for Raju (Navin
Nischol) Chandan's second-in-command. In time, Chandan tells Ajit that she is
his daughter, and he should take charge of her. Even though Ajit suspects
Raju's true identity, he admits him into the police force with the explicit
duty of arresting Chandan who, after the truth about him comes in the open, is
on the run. Bottles of blood and bullets run amuck in sequences leading towards
the climax; the truth about Raju (or Suraj), now a police inspector, is
revealed in the encounter between father and son. Chandan gives himself up to
the police.
