In a flashback, Arjun remembers witnessing one of his students Sangeeta being raped by Sanjay. He runs towards the situation to assist but is stopped by Sanjay's friends. After Sanjay leaves alongside his friends, Arjun quickly takes her to the hospital and goes to the police station to file a complaint, but Sanjay threatens to rape Arjun's sister if he testifies against him, persuading Arjun not to testify. Hearing that Arjun would not testify against Sanjay. Sangeeta is told by the police that if Arjun gives the statement, they will arrest and punish Sanjay, ensuing Sangeeta to get justice. However Arjun, the eyewitness, is forced to give the inappropriate statement because of Sanjay's blackmailing. The case is closed, leaving Sangeeta burst into tears and urge to get justice. Sangeeta is then harassed and abused by majority of students at college. She writes a letter to her so-called sister Nisha about everything that happened to her including that if Arjun Dixit had the courage to give the right statement, she would get justice and would be able to avoid the dirty misunderstandings of people. Lastly, she writes that she will never forgive Arjun, neither should Nisha. She immediately commits suicide after writing the letter.
Returning to the present, Arjun is found guilty and is behind bars for murder, but then Sanjay's mother bails Arjun out using her influences and tells him that her son was wrong and deserved what he got. Arjun's parents and Nisha had already left the city. Knowing that, Sanjay's mother offers Arjun a job, but he turns down the offer, telling her that he has to go Mumbai. Arjun then goes to Mumbai in search of Nisha. While staying with his friend Shiva (Yashpal Sharma), he meets Haldiraam (Ashish Vidyarthi), a hideous criminal who runs a powerful gang. Arjun finally finds Nisha dancing in a club, while he tried to approach her he beats up a guy who was talking things about her in a vulgar way. The guy turned out to be the brother of a powerful don Ramu Kaalia (Mukesh Rishi) in Mumbai who is also one of Haldiraam's main rivals, taking this advantage Haldiraam kills the guy in the hospital making Arjun believe that he himself was responsible for the death. Haldiraam tells Arjun that the don will kill him, so Arjun should kill him first. Haldiraam hands Arjun a gun and tells him to go kill the don. The attempt is a failure, but this makes Arjun become a ruthless, cold-blooded criminal known as "Pandit", because of his hidden knowledge and yoga skills. Nisha is worried since Pandit is a strong criminal and he might pose a threat to her and her family. She is at a photoshoot, her photographer, as well as her friend, Imran (Annu Kapoor) notices her wrong posture and body language. She openly tells Imran that Arjun could harm her any time and that she is worried, though she reimproves her posture and gets busy in the photoshoot until Pandit reaches there. Seeing that Nisha is wearing tight and revealing clothes, he forcefully covers her and takes her to her house. Nisha says Arjun has no right to change her lifestyle and that she will wear whatever she wants. Pandit sets Nisha's clothes on fire, leaving her raged. She decides to marry one of her childhood friend Siddharth in order to get away from Pandit. Pandit learns that Nisha is getting married, so he makes his way to the marriage and messes things up, taking Nisha with him. Though police succeeds to capture Arjun and his men, but are threatened to stay still and not to shoot since Arjun was pointing a gun at Nisha. They take the jeep of police and flee. After too many ups and downs, Pandit forces Nisha to marry him by blackmailing her that he will kill her younger brother if she refuses. Nisha is forced to marry Pandit. Soon after they are married, Pandit emotionally laughs and says that in the past, he was also forced not to testify against Sanjay, or he would have raped his sister. Likewise now, Nisha was forced to marry Pandit, or he would have killed her brother. Nisha starts coming to the realization of her wrongdoing. Later Pandit allows Nisha to marry his friend Siddharth and start over. She is totally confused. Pandit takes her to Siddharth and apologizes for everything. While Pandit is returning to his car, he sees one of his man laying dead. This is when situation turns out blood-filled and violent. Haldiraam's men are after both Nisha and Pandit.

Haldiraam and other of his men are searching for Pandit and Nisha. Injured Pandit takes Nisha and hide underneath railroad track. They both see love in each other. Haldiraam is unable to find them until the train goes away, disclosing their hideout. Haldiraam finds them and hurts Pandit at first, but when he speaks smuttily about Nisha, Pandit is deranged and beats up Haldiraam. Though he does not kill him since they needed a witness to present in court. Nisha apologizes to Arjun and Arjun forgives her. In the end, they recall their student-teacher relationship and laugh.

Review:
Whoo!.
Arjun Pandit is truly one of the most mind-blowing action movies I have ever seen!
Sunny Deol's character is somewhat different as he plays a simple, god-fearing yoga professor, who believes in nonviolence.
Later circumstances lead him into a web of deceit and danger, as he eventually learns the truth and becomes Arjun Pandit, who is sort of a hit-man for one of the dons.
When he finds out that he is being used as a pawn, he turns vengeful against the baddies, and in a totally explosive and bloody battle, our Jat hero survives and wins the day at last, plus he gets the girl; the song in the climax was soooooo unnecessary.
This action film is the comeback of Sunny Deol with Rahul Rawail.
Their later movie together, JBSN in '05 was funny!
Arjun Pandit is a good action movie.
Recommended for Sunny fans!.
Good move But. Watched this movie recently.Unfortunately many doesn't know the fact that this is the remake/rehashed version of 1995 classic Kannada movie 'Om' directed by Upendra starring Shivarajkumar.I watched the original Kannada movie in theater at least twice.Here they completely shifted the story from Bangalore underworld to Mumbai underworld.As usual Sunny Deol over acts in some scenes.Rahul Rawail disappoints big time.Juhi Chawla does her job pretty good.This is only one time watchable movie.All the supporting cast did a pretty good job.I think the director made this movie after the success of Sathya.This movie is only for Sunny Deol fans..
remake of Kannada hit film-om-nobody except one mentioned it in reviews-watch original.
AM A BIG FAN OF SUNNY..
I HAVE WATCHED ORIGINAL KANNADA FILM STARRING SOUTH FILM STAR SHIVARJ KUMAR-ONE OF BEST COMBINATION OF SHIVU N UPENDRA...in Kannada it was a big hit n still today considered classic(although not with a good subject)..and remade in Hindi-Telugu(Dr rajshekhar ) Tamil,but all failed to win except Hindi n Kannada...!!both original and remake(Hindi) good.
its nice to c sunny in such role...
he did justice to his role..sunny rocks...i give it 9/10...must watch for sunny fans...
Not up to the mark..
Music is good.
Action is good.
Dialogue is good.
Sunny and Juhi as well as other done their best.
Combination of a good movie.
Buy typical '90s.
Old story.
Uneven execution.
Forgettable..
Not Bad Not Good.
Arjun Pandit has one of those highly improbable stories that only Bollywood can dream of, but powerful performances and steady direction make it tolerable and even watchable at times.
Mumbai is abuzz with news about a gangster called Pandit, whose chamchas seem to be abnormally worried about the well-being of Nisha Chopra (Juhi Chawla), a starlet/dancer.
When they finally take Nisha to meet Pandit, he turns out to be Arjun Dikshit (Sunny Deol).
You anticipate a long flashback, but none makes its appearance.
Instead, Pandit scares Nisha, celebrates her birthday, eats enough chocolate cake to make anyone sick, and leaves you wondering where the script is going..
Excellent Rahul-Sunny comeback.
An excellent comeback for Rahul-Sunny pair.
Actions are really very storming, esp, the one in Buddhist Math.
Also, action sequence in the climax became very lively amidst railway tracks.
The turning point where Sunny came to know that Juhi had played all the games just to take revenge was also good.
Overall, you will never feel bored in the movie.
This is another hit movie for Sunny-Juhi which turned out to be hit.
I don't think it would have been possible for any other actor to replace Sunny.
But still Sunny doesn't seems very comfortable in the romantic moments with Juhi.
During climax Juhi suddenly realizes Sunnys true love for her that was also portrayed very beautifully.
