Amar Akbar Anthony

Kishanlal (Pran), a chauffeur, takes the blame for a fatal hit-and-run accident committed by his mob boss employer, Robert (Jeevan), on the assurance that his familys income will be tripled and their welfare looked after. He returns from prison to find his wife Bharati (Nirupa Roy) suffering from tuberculosis and his three sons starving. Seeking help from Robert for the sake of his family, he is ridiculed, humiliated and repudiated, until he turns on Robert and tries to kill him. Making his escape, Kishanlal inadvertently takes a car containing a shipment of gold bullion. Roberts goons give chase.

Kishanlal goes home to rescue his family only to find his wifes suicide note. Unknown to him, she fails and is struck blind. He leaves his sons in a public park (at the foot of a statue of Gandhi) while he draws off the pursuing goons. In the car chase that follows he crashes, is thrown clear of the wreck, and discovers the gold. But by the time he returns to the park with his riches, his three children have vanished.

Amar, the oldest, has been adopted by a Hindu policeman; a Muslim tailor adopts the youngest and names him Akbar; and a Catholic Priest (Nazir Hussain), finding the middle son asleep on the steps of his church, fosters him and names him Anthony.In revenge, Kishanlal kidnaps Roberts daughter Jenny and raises her as his niece, using the gold to destroy Roberts business and set himself up as mob boss instead.Amar (Vinod Khanna) becomes a policeman; Akbar (Rishi Kapoor) becomes a singer; the middle brother, Anthony (Amitabh Bachchan), becomes a likable, socially conscious scamp who runs quasi-legal operations and makes God his partner by donating half his income to charity. The three meet when they donate blood for an accident victim, unaware that they are related or that the recipient is their biological mother Bharati.Their lives become entangled in an incredible web of coincidences and furious action sequences interspersed with songs when Amars adopted father is seriously wounded and Anthony falls in love with Jenny, Roberts long-lost daughter.

Because of it his adoptive father, the priest, is murdered. In their pursuit of justice their paths cross again until, combining efforts, the brothers discover both the culprit and their mutual heritage.In addition to the ongoing feud between Robert and Kishanlal, each son meets and courts with greater or lesser difficulty their love interests. When the grieving mother regains her sight at a Diwali festival in honor of Sai Baba. She ends up at the Muslim tailors place once again.

He recognizes her as the woman he saved one day. When she asks about the young boy he had found that same day and how hes doing now, Akbar says he is the boy the tailer had found that day. He shows her a photograph from his childhood. Bharati recognizes the boy in the photograph as her own son. Thus, one by one the family is re-united and Robert, who caused their suffering, is finally imprisoned.
