action
Deewaar tells the story of two brothers who couldn't be more different than a flashback : Vijay and Ravi Verma grew up with their mother. Her father, Anand Verma, abandoned the family when he betrayed his work colleagues.
Vijay, the older son, is shaped by his father's failures and has gone from shoeshine to smuggler in the course of his life. He gave up schooling for his younger brother, enabling Ravi to become an upright police officer. But now Ravi is ordered to arrest the great smuggler Vijay.
In a bar, Vijay meets the beautiful Anita and starts an affair with her. When she becomes pregnant, however, Vijay decides to go underground so that his child does not have to suffer the same fate.
But it's too late: Ravi has decided to arrest Vijay, despite the family circumstances. Even the mother is at Ravi's side, even if the decision is very difficult for her. The two brothers get into a conflict, while Vijay dies in the heated argument. Ravi is named a hero by the government.

The film was made in the year the state of emergency was declared in India. When designing the figure of Ravi embodied by Bachchan, Salim-Javed leaned on the story of the notorious smuggler Haji Mastan Mirza , who was stylized as an enemy of the people and imprisoned during the emergency.
Reviews
The mother-as-nation cliché often used in Hindi films, an extension of the nation-as-family cliché, was used here for an ambiguous purpose: although the audience's sympathies are directed towards the lower-class rebels, the mother is correct / Nation finally to the persecution of their well-meaning but misguided son; an act with obvious parallels to the political situation of the time.
