Two convicts and small time crooks Amitabh and Dharmendra are picked by Thakur Sanjeev Kumar, a former police officer, to seek vengeance on the dangerous bandit Gabbar Singh Amjad Khan because he killed all of Thakur's family except a daughter-in-law and maimed Thakur for life.This was a result of an earlier incident in which Thakur -- acting as a police officer -- had captured Gabbar and helped in his conviction in the court. Gabbar managed to escape and wreaked havoc in Thakur's life. Now Thakur seeks the help of these two crooks to get Gabbar. The ensuing action makes for one of the most exciting Indian movies made to date.
Thakur Baldev Singh Sanjeev Kumar seeks to avenge the cold-blooded massacre of his family at the hands of notorious bandit Gabbar Singh Amjad Khan. Since he is unable to do so on his own, he recruits Veeru Dharmendra and Jaidev Amitabh Bachchan. Both are jailbirds and have in and out of various jails. They are reportedly known to carry out any work provided the compensation is right. Both agree to capture Gabbar Singh live and hand him over to Baldev Singh. Things do not go as planned. Veeru falls for the local horse carriage driver Basanti Hema Malini; and Jai starts to have romantic feelings for Baldev Singh's widowed daughter-in-law, Radha Jaya Bhaduri. To make matters worse, Gabbar has sworn to kill both Jai and Veeru, and holds Basanti as a hostage, to lure them to him
