Dharam Dev of the Special Squad (played by Dev Anand) wants to bring swindler Durga Prasad, or DP (Kabir Bedi), to book. He befriends DP's secretary, Sapna (played by the gorgeous Parveen Babi), to obtain information. Very soon, though, DP has his revenge: he frames Dharam Dev on false charges of drunken driving and the latter is imprisoned. The police soon realize it was a mistake and Dharam's term is reduced and he is out after six months. He starts his battle from outside the police force, with Sapna and Inspector Rajesh (Rakesh Roshan) as his only friends. Soon, however, DP again outwits him and he finds himself involved in a kidnapping cum murder case. How Dharam Dev proves himself innocent and catches DP red-handed is the story of Bullet.
A fairly captivating thriller starring Dev Anand, Praveen Babi and Kabir Bedi, the latter playing a significant role as a sociopathic crook that Dev Anand is desperate to apprehend, but Bedi is too smart, and in the second half, where things become suspenseful, Dev Anand gets in a spot of a bother as he embroiled in a kidnapping plot and murder.
The plot is tautly-woven, moves briskly, though it's the characters that drives the film, especially Anand who really performs well as a policeman determined to get a crook behind bars or at least use the bullet he carries with him; a bullet that has the crook's name on it. There's a strong kitschy flavour and some dodgy songs, but it's quite atmospheric, offbeat with some odd camera angles and is fairly captivating.
