Plot
Loha, is a story of Shankar (Dharmendra) who wants to eradicate crime from the city, and he disguised himself as a Panwala from Bihar.
The movie begins with an aspiring underworld Don, Lukkabhai (Mohan Joshi) ousts his erstwhile mentor Tandyabhai (Deepak Shirke) to emerge as the reigning champion of a crime infested world. Elsewhere, Arjun (Mithun Chakraborty), is a soldier and loves his girlfriend Karishma (Ramya Krishnan) . Arjun is after life of a Local goon Vikraal. Vikraal (Rajesh Vivek) removes Karishma's clothes and strips her naked. He slams her on the ground and rapes her brutally. As a result, Arjun seeks obsessive refuge in liquor.
Shankar saves Arjun's life and after listening to Arjun's story decides to help him. Meanwhile, severely inconvenienced by Shankar's righteous meddling, Lukkabhai brutally rapes and killed Shankar's sister to teach him a lesson. Infuriated, Shankar teams up with Arjun, who now is indebted to him and another alien named as Mustafabhai (Shakti Kapoor), who wants payback, as Lukkabhai had chopped his hands off.
Together, they deliver the king pin of the underworld and his minions to a well-deserved end. Re-instating a proverbial triumph of good over evil, restoring harmony and justice in the society. Thereby resurrecting their previously bruised societal images.
