Upon learning of a prophecy that states he will be killed by his eldest nephew, Satpal separates his sister's twin sons. However, the boys become best friends after growing up, and fight against tyranny.
In the 1970's, where daku, romantic and lost and found action fare were the leading force, period-Talwar (sword fighting) pics were rare, but Dharm Veer is a first class example of period-action replete sword fights, ship battles and feisty princesses, yet it still retains its lost and found masala sheen, and the villainy is high-end with bad buy maestros Jeevan and Sujit Kumar giving the heroes, Dharm Veer played by Garam Dharam and Jeetendra (no brainier who plays Dharm!) a lot to fight for, and there's plenty of derringer-do, high-end dramatics, romance and epic theatrics - all these elements Manhoman Desai executes in his inimitable fashion.
Dharmendra is at the top of his game, flexing his muscles and singing with MOHd Rafi's voice to Zeenat Aman - the songs are melodious, and the cinematography is splendid - Dharm veer is wondrous entertainment for the one who want to escape in the world of palaces, forts, maharajas, queens, lost princes, talwar flashing and moustache twirling villainy.
