Directed by: T. L. V. Prasad
Genres: Action
Starring: Mithun Chakraborty, Hemant Birje, Jack Gaud

Overview: Rakesh Pandey belongs to a middle-class family, and is employed. One day when he is returning home from work, he is arrested by the police on the charge of killing a woman in cold-blood. He refutes and denies this charge, but to no avail, as the prosecution produces witness after witness that have actually seen him commit this heinous crime. Ultimately, Rakesh vows to avenge this outrage, and assumes the name of Bhairav, not realizing that he has an uphill task, and that all the odds are stacked against him, including the fact that the witness who testified against him is Mrs. Jindal.
