Patthar Ke Phool (English: Flowers of Stone) is a 1991 Bollywood film starring Salman Khan who plays a police officer fighting an underworld gang. Raveena Tandon (In her film debut) plays the female lead role while Vinod Mehra, Kiran Kumar, Reema Lagoo and Manohar Singh appear in supporting roles.

Suraj is the son of Inspector Vijay Verma (Vinod Mehra) and his wife, Meera (Reema Lagoo). One day, Suraj meets a girl named Kiran. Unknown to everybody, Kiran is the daughter of Balraj Khanna, the king of an underworld gang. Balraj has kept his truth a secret from the world and his own daughter. Vijay, in the meanwhile, gets assigned to the case of Balraj's gang. Joining the same college, Suraj and Kiran fall in love. As Vijay probes deeper and deeper into the gang, the gang members, especially Goga (Goga Kapoor), become unnerved.

Balraj is disturbed by the fact that his daughter has fallen for Vijay's son. Vijay too gets an inkling that Balraj is the leader of the gang. So, when Vijay learns about the affair between his son and Kiran, he forbids their love. Suraj has a spat with his father over the matter. As Suraj vents out his feelings to his mother, Meera also reveals a secret to him: Suraj is not Vijay's biological son.

Meera tells him that his real father, her husband, was also an Inspector and a friend of Vijay. Meera was expecting a baby, when Suraj's father was killed while on a case by a goon named Ramsingh Gupti (Deep Dhillon). After the death, Vijay took Meera into his home and later married her when people started talking about Meera's character.

Upon learning the truth, Suraj decides to track down Vijay and apologize to him. However, Goga decides to have Vijay killed and contacts Balraj for the matter. Balraj tells him to leave Vijay alone, as doing something to him would be unwise and also as he has decided to surrender to the cops. Goga, however, ignores the orders as he wants to take over the gang and orders a hit on Vijay. Just as Suraj apologizes to Vijay, the latter is gunned down by Goga's men.

Shocked by the events, Suraj decides to bring the criminals to book. Suraj goes on to become an Inspector just like Vijay. Suraj demands to be assigned to the last case Vijay was working on, as the criminals in that case must have killed him. Suraj is surprised to find Balraj's name in the file and doesn't take much to put two and two together. However, Kiran breaks off with Suraj, not ready to believe the allegation.
