The film was critically and commercially successful at the box office and was third highest-grossing film of 1989 behind Maine Pyar Kiya and Ram Lakhan and won three Filmfare Awards at the 35th Filmfare Awards in 1990. The film was remade in Telugu as Nakshatra Poratam, with Suman Talwar, Bhanuchander Prasad and Arun Pandian.
Powerful crime lord Bhujang has an honest politician assassinated on behalf of his arms supplier. Inspector Karan, the son of a respected judge is hired for the case. Divya, his fiancé and the daughter of Commissioner Arvind, has a brother Ravi, the hot-headed black sheep of the family. Bhujang kills Karan's father and Ramesh. Arvind knows Karan's honesty, but transfers him to a village due to pressure. At the new post, Karan meets Jai Singh whose father was killed by dacoit Bhairav, who is in fact Bhujang.
Bhujang invites Ravi to join his gang. As Arvind plans to bring Karan back, Bhujang sends goons and Ravi to kill him. They trap Karan, but he escapes with a knife's help which Ravi gave him. Ravi later meets Natasha, Ramesh's sister who is collecting proofs of Bhujang's crimes. Renuka, an actress who Jai met earlier, hires him as a bodyguard. She's the daughter of a corrupt politician, who works with Bhujang and plans her marriage to his son. Jai meets and recognizes Bhujang as his father's murderer.
Karan and Ravi vow to destroy Bhujang's plans. When he plans to rob a global bank, Ravi informs Karan. Jai takes Renuka to the bank to expose her father's misdeeds too. Foiling the robbery, Karan kills Bhujang's son. He captures Natasha, Renuka, Divya, Arvind and policemen and frames Karan, Ravi and Jai. The three fight and kill Bhujang, after freeing Divya, Natasha, Renuka, Arvind and the policemen. Karan-Divya, Ravi-Natasha and Jai-Renuka finally unite and rejoice.
At the 35th Filmfare Awards, Tridev won two awards from six nominations.
