Kshatriya (Warriors) is a 1993 Bollywood film directed by J.P. Dutta. It features an ensemble star cast including Sunil Dutt, Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Raveena Tandon and Divya Bharti. Sunil Dutt and Dharmendra play fathers to their real-life sons: Sanjay Dutt and Sunny Deol, respectively (Even though Sunil and Sanjay did not actually share screen space). This was Divya Bharti's last film to be released while she was alive; she died 10 days after its release.
The story of the film was similar to Parampara (1993 film) released after this movie. Both movies were multistarrer films and failed to create good business at the box office. Sunil Dutt, Vinod Khanna and Raveena Tandon were common actors in both movies.
The story is about two warring royal Kshatriya Rajput families in Rajasthan, India, based in Mirtagarh and Surjangarh. The Mirtagarh family is headed by Maharaja Bhavani Singh (Sunil Dutt), his wife Maheshwari Devi (Raakhee), his daughter Divya (Dolly Minhas) and younger brother Jaswant Singh (Vinod Khanna). Surjangarh's family is headed by Prithvi Singh (Dharmendra), his wife Suman (Sumalatha), his brother Devendra Pratab Singh and Devendra's son Vijay Pratab Singh. Vijay falls in love with Divya but both families are against them marrying and Mirtagarh's minister Ajay Singh (Prem Chopra) adds fuel to fire by getting Vijay killed even though Bhavani never wanted him dead. Divya commits suicide after hearing of Vijay's death and Prithvi shoots and kills Bhavani in revenge. Jaswant Singh (Vinod Khanna) returns from England and kills Devendra in revenge and vows to kill Prithvi when he is released. Prithvi's son Vinay (Sunny Deol) and Bhavani's son Vikram (Sanjay Dutt) are sent to England as children to get away from the bloody feud between their families.
