Lootmaar is a 1980 Hindi movie produced and directed by Dev Anand. The film stars Dev Anand, Tina Munim, Mehmood, Nirupa Roy, Amjad Khan, Prem Chopra, Kader Khan, Ranjeet, Shakti Kapoor, Simple Kapadia, Shreeram Lagoo and Rakhee. The films music is by Rajesh Roshan. The club song 'Jab chhaye, mera jaadu' is still super hit. It was expected that this film may break the success recorded by the earlier film "Des Pardes", but Dev Anand failed in his attempt and this film became an average film. Acting-wise nobody has done any remarkable job. The role of Dev Anand and Rakhi's son was played by Tina Munim's real brother 'Manan'.

Indian Air Force pilot Bhagat lives with his wife, Raksha, and a young son. While going to the bank one day, the family find that the bank is being held up. The bank-robbers panic at the arrival of the police, and fire randomly killing Raksha instantly. Bhagat witnesses this horrific spectacle and is unable to do anything to save his wife. The robbers were masked, but one of them had a tear in his shoe, and another was wearing a locket, very similar to the worn by his wife. Bhagat's inquiries take him to the Northern-most hilly regions of India, where he must confront the past, as well as seek out the elusive killers and bring them to justice, not knowing that in so doing he will be endangering the life of his son.
