KRANTI,  tells the story of a father and son, both honest police officers, who have the same goals but entirely different principles.

Awadesh Pratap Singh (Vinod Khanna), Commissioner of Police, is a man who believes in living his life according to certain principles that have been laid down in the past and have never been changed since.

ACP Abhay Pratap Singh (Bobby Deol) is the able son of an able father. He lives life on his own terms and firmly believes that the laws written earlier were good for that time, but have to be modified for being made effective in the current scenario.

Trouble comes in the form of a wealthy businessman, Rana Pratap (Kabir Bedi), who will do anything to bring unrest and harm to the people of India. He has no principles for reaching his goal and will do so at any cost. When he realizes that Abhay is troubling him, he gets him jailed for the offences he hasn’t committed.

Abhay’s mission after his release from jail is to prove to his father that he is being used by this influential man, who is planning to create unrest in the country for his own benefit at the cost of innocent people. Abhay succeeds in proving a point to his father and a major calamity is averted just at the nick of time.
