Amrish Puri

Lady Catherine Williams (nee Beckett) (Polly Adams), a wealthy British woman, arrives in India to donate Rs 3500 Crores to charity as part of India's Republic Day Celebrations. Catherine is a state guest but ignores all requests for a media interview. She has also ignored all requests from various states to visit them and see their tourist attractions. The media portrays this as snobbish behavior from the British, so much so that the Ministry requests Catherine to visit a few places before she leaves India. Catherine wants to see the real India, and she requests a visit to Devprayag, where India's 2 rivers Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet to form the Ganges River. At Devprayag, Lady Catherine remembers her childhood and narrates her story to a small crowd, which includes journalists Jimmy (Ronit Roy) and Rita (Ashwini Kalsekar). Shocking them, she reveals that she can speak Hindi very well. Catherine (Antonia Bernath) was born in India in 1930, to British citizens living in the country. She had a privileged and peaceful upbringing. In 1935, a young Catherine befriends Kisna (Vivek Oberoi), a local village boy, and the two share a joyous friendship. Upon learning of this, Catherine's father Peter forcefully sends her back to England. Shanta (Zarina Wahab) is Kisna's mother and Shankar (Yashpal Sharma) is his elder brother. Bhairo Singh (Amrish Puri) is a revolutionary and Kisna's maternal uncle. Sriram (Shivaji Satam) is the manager of stables and Kisna's father. Bhairo says that Peter Beckett, the British officer of the province, has stopped water supply to the farmers and diverted it to Prince Raghuraj (Rajat Kapoor). In 1947, during the Independence Struggle, Catherine comes back to India on holidays and again meets Kisna. Kisna has now developed into a poet and a singer. Kisna is now engaged to be married to Lakshmi (Isha Sharvani). Meanwhile, Prince Raghuraj has the hots for Catherine, even though she considers him as her uncle. The childhood friendship between Kisna and Catherine is rekindled and over time the feelings slowly develop into love. Their relationship is tested by the fact that they seemingly belong to the opposite sides of India's struggle for freedom. Anti-British sentiment is rife in the province, as people are dying after drinking polluted water as a result of Raghuraj's activities. Shankar has joined Bhairo Singh as a revolutionary. There is growing resentment against colonialism after British Government declares that all officers have to return to England by 14th Aug 1947 in preparation for Indian Independence. Catherine finds herself being targeted by an enraged mob of Indian nationalists including Bhairo and Shankar, who set her home on fire. She is protected by Kisna, who hides her in the family stables. Shanta finds Catherine and orders Kisna to protect her at all costs. Kisna is torn between his friendship and love for Catherine, and his duty to his country and the hatred of the British Raj. Kisna takes it upon himself to escort Catherine to the British High Commission, where safe passage back to England can be arranged for her. Kisna faces backlash from his family and community, who were part of the mob. Shankar vows that out of Kisna and him, only one will survive. Lakshmi is heartbroken that Kisna ran away with Catherine. Kisna and Catherine seek refuge with Kisna's friend Nandu (Vivek Mushran), in Rishikesh, on their way to Delhi. Kisna and Catherine pretend to be married in front of Nandu's family and stay with them. With the family, Catherine learns about Indian culture and traditions. The trip reaffirms their love for each other. At Rishikesh railway station, Raghuraj finds Catherine and lures her with her mother. He takes her away when Kisna was buying tickets at the counter. Catherine says that Kisna saved her life, but her mother Jennifer only trusts Raghuraj. Meanwhile, Lakshmi also goes to search for Kisna. Kisna is determined to save Catherine as he knows that she is not safe with Raghuraj. Kisna finds Raghuraj at a local guesthouse. Jennifer by now has found that Raghuraj wants to marry Catherine and is disgusted by him. Kisna blinds Raghuraj temporarily which allows Jennifer and Catherine to escape into a nearby commercial vehicle. Juman Masum Kishti (Om Puri) is the driver, who helps them get away along with Kisna. Juman is a servant of Naima Begum (Sushmita Sen). Naima agrees to protect her guests for the night, with the promise of delivering the trio to Delhi the following morning. On their way, the horse cart is attacked by Shankar and his forces. Juman saves Jennifer, while Kisna saves Catherine and hides with her in the jungles. They take shelter in ruins and spend the night. The next morning, Lakshmi catches up to them and confronts them in the ruins. Kisna says that he and Catherine are friends and that is it only his duty to deliver her safely to Delhi. Lakshmi is livid, but Kisna refuses to abandon Catherine. This is when Bhairo and Shankar's forces surround Kisna and Catherine. Kisna kills Bhairo when he attempts to kill Catherine. Kisna defeats Shankar in a sword-fight but spares him. Kisna says that saving Catherine is his duty. He realizes that he truly loves Catherine. Kisna kills an assassin sent by Raghuraj and uses his jeep to travel to Delhi. Kisna reaches Ghaziabad with Catherine, but the city is locked down by curfew. A police inspector recognizes Raghuraj's jeep and guides Raghuraj when he arrives in the city looking for Catherine. The police arrest Catherine as she and Kisna navigate the riots in the city, and she is produced in front of Raghuraj. Raghuraj tries to sexually assault Catherine, but Kisna finds her and engages Raghuraj in battle. Kisna burns Raghuraj alive. Shankar arrives and kills Raghuraj, just as he is about to shoot Kisna in the back. Kisna is ultimately forced to choose between his feelings for Catherine and his duty to his country. Kisna is offered to leave India with Catherine. Kisna chooses the latter and the pair bid an emotional farewell to each other. In the present, it is revealed that Kisna married Lakshmi, and fulfilled his duties to his wife and country, but always loved Catherine till his death. His last wish was for his ashes to be spread at Devprayag, the place where first love blossomed between him and Catherine. Catherine's last wish is also for her ashes to be spread at Devprayag, so that, even though they both married different people, she and Kisna can be together forever.

After completing his studies in London, Shakti Thakur returns to his ancestral village in India, accompanied by his girlfriend, Anita, whom he is in love with and wants to marry, much to the disapproval of his family. Shakti harbors ambitions of opening a chain of fast-food restaurants, a vision that contrasts sharply with his family's traditional values and expectations. Back in the village, Shakti quickly becomes disillusioned by the stagnant atmosphere and the deep-rooted animosity that still plagues the townspeople. He informs his father, the zamindar Raja Thakur, that he intends to sell his share of the family's property to fund his business venture. Raja Thakur, who raised Shakti as a single parent after his mother died when Shakti was just a year old, pleads with his son to stay in the village and use his education for the betterment of the community. He emphasizes that "a man gets an education not to become a selfish being but to uplift his uneducated brothers and society." However, Shakti, frustrated by the ongoing feud between his father and his uncle, Zamindar Birju, and the behavior of his older brother, a perpetual drunk and an embarrassment to the family, decides to leave. The village is deeply affected by the longstanding feud between Raja Thakur and his younger brother Birju, a disabled man whose son, Bali Thakur, holds a deep grudge against Raja Thakur. This rivalry, fueled by Bali Thakur's desire to one-up his uncle, keeps the village divided and stifles its progress. While spending time in the village, Shakti engages in a game of sticks (a traditional Indian sport) with Bali Thakur's men, which he wins, further aggravating the tension between the two factions. During a visit to an old temple that had been closed off due to a longstanding dispute between Raja Thakur and Birju Thakur over who had rights to it, Shakti insists on entering, and his friend and servant Sukhiya breaks open the lock. Bali Thakur hears of this and incites a brutal riot between the two village factions. Raja Thakur, desperate to prevent further bloodshed, considers apologizing, but Shakti insists that he or Sukhiya should apologize instead. However, when Shakti looks for Sukhiya, he learns that Bali Thakur's men have cut off Sukhiya's hand as punishment for opening the temple, leading Raja Thakur's men to retaliate by burning down the homes of Bali Thakur's supporters. Frustrated by the lack of justice after Sukhiya's arm is cut off, Shakti confronts the head police officer about why they are not taking action. The officer explains that the villagers refuse to come forward as witnesses to such violent acts, making it difficult for the police to intervene. Despite this setback, the police officer becomes supportive of Shakti. To prevent the situation from escalating further, Shakti enlists the help of a government official friend to legally open the temple for all, with his father's reluctant approval. Offended by this move, Bali Thakur retaliates by hiring goons to destroy a dam that protects Raja Thakur's side of the village. A female villager notices the goons near the dam but does not think much of it at the time. The dam is subsequently destroyed with explosives, leading to a devastating flood that kills many villagers, including infants, leaving Shakti deeply grieved The same female villager, whose son died in the flood, angrily recognizes one of the goons in the village. She confronts him, leading Shakti to capture the goon and hand him over to the police. However, the goon, out of fear for his family's safety, refuses to implicate Bali Thakur in the crime. Later, Bali Thakur intimidates Narayan, a villager living in Raja Thakur's area, into closing off a portion of his land, making it difficult for the public to reach the main road. This action was done at the suggestion of Bali's lawyer, further complicating the ongoing conflict. In a village panchayat called to resolve the issue, accusations fly from both sides. Without any evidence, Bali Thakur accuses Raja Thakur of orchestrating attacks on his brother's family and insults him relentlessly. Disrespected and heartbroken, Raja Thakur returns home and dies from a heart attack that night. During the funeral, Birju Thakur grieves the death of his brother, while Bali Thakur reacts with cold indifference and annoyance. Shakti, now burdened with the role of the village head, reluctantly takes on his father's duties. After becoming the village head, Shakti makes his older brother swear to stop drinking, and his brother agrees. However, Bali Thakur's men, under the influence of Bali's lawyer, try to get Shakti's brother drunk again to manipulate him into signing away the village's property deed, but Shakti intervenes just in time to prevent the betrayal. As time passes, the villagers express concerns about the land that has been closed off, leading to longer travel times. Shakti successfully convinces Narayan to open the land by arranging a marriage between Narayan's daughter, Gehna, and a well-to-do man from the village and the police agree to provide protection to stop Bali men interfering. However, on the wedding day, the groom flees in fear of Bali Thakur. Distraught and feeling dishonored, Narayan believes his daughter will be stigmatized and live in constant fear. Shakti steps in and marries Gehna himself, despite still having feelings for Anita. Although their marriage begins awkwardly, Shakti and Gehna gradually move on. When Anita returns and learns the truth, she is left heartbroken. Although saddened by the turn of events, she understands the situation and leaves. Shakti, too, closes the chapter about his girlfriend and starts his new life with his wife Bali Thakur, enraged by the series of events-including the opening of the land, Shakti stopping him from tricking his older brother into signing over the family land, and the village panchayat's decision to honor Shakti's family with the right to host the village festival for reopening the temple-plots a final act of vengeance. Despite Shakti's kind offer to let Bali oversee the festival, Bali refuses, threatening to cut off Shakti's head, further escalating tensions. Bali then devises a plan to plant a bomb at the festival, determined to exact revenge. Bali's parents, Birju and his mother, become aware of his plot and, horrified, try to stop him. They attempt to call the police, but Bali, in his blind rage, imprisons them. Birju pleads with his son to end the violence, but his pleas fall on deaf ears. Bali's mother manages to escape and runs to the festival to warn Shakti of the bomb, but she arrives too late, and the bomb explodes, resulting in multiple deaths. In the aftermath of the explosion, a furious Shakti searches for Bali at his home. He finds a devastated and remorseful Birju, who does not know where Bali is hiding but Birju does not know, Shakti decides to help Birju and his innocent family by bringing them to his home, however both factions of the village, wanting revenge, go after Bali Thakur and his family. Shakti protects the innocent family and convinces the villagers to leave. Appreciative of Shakti's efforts to protect them, Birju Thakur finally ends his enmity towards him. Meanwhile, the police launch a manhunt for Bali in connection with the bombing. The next day, Shakti notices Bali's mother walking into the chicken coop area on his property and realizes that Bali is hiding there. Shakti follows her and confronts Bali, who is hiding inside. Bali's mother begs him to flee and escape the consequences of his actions, but Bali, consumed by his hatred for Shakti, refuses. When his mother tries to stop him from attacking Shakti, Bali spits in her face and kicks her in the stomach. Enraged by this, Shakti attacks and overpowers Bali, but ultimately spares his life, urging him to surrender to the police. However, Bali refuses to give up his vendetta and tries to attack Shakti again. He flees to an area filled with statues and idols, where the two engage in a final, intense battle with weapons. In the struggle, Shakti decapitates Bali with an axe, an act that leaves him devastated as he realizes that Bali has forced him to unleash his dark side. Although other villagers are willing to take the blame for Bali Thakur's murder, Shakti gives himself up to the police to end the cycle of violence once and for all. The film depicts the true meaning of education as "a tool to uplift uneducated people".

The film opens at a party where Anant Welankar (Om Puri), a police officer, meets Jyotsna Gokhale (Smita Patil), a lecturer in literature at a local college. Anant is a sub-inspector with Bombay police. They seem to hit it off despite some initial skirmishing about ideology, and the friendship blossoms into a relationship. Anant brings diligence, enthusiasm, and a definite idealism to his job. But the job is harsh. There is a deep nexus between the local mafia, the cops and the (corrupt) politicians. Honest himself, Anant falls among the lower rungs of the police hierarchy and has very limited scope of authority on the state of affairs in his area. When Anant arrests three common thugs, he is asked to meet with their boss, Rama Shetty (Sadashiv Amrapurkar), a don in the local mafia. Anant refuses all of Rama Shetty's attempts to get his men out or to entice Anant to join him. Shetty decides to watch over Anant. Anant pursues Jyotsna and they both get romantically involved. Mike Lobo (Naseeruddin Shah) is a suspended cop, who also stood up for his values and tried to fight against a corrupt system. Anant's department head Police Inspector Patil (Achyut Potdar) orders him not to touch Shetty's men going forward. Sometime thereafter, a meek fellow from a local slum lodges a complaint about some ruffians who harass his wife. Anant finds them, locks them up, and administers a severe beating. As a fallout, the local MLA asks for Anant to be suspended. Anant's boss, inspector Haider Ali (Shafi Inamdar), explains to a mystified Anant that the ruffians were the MLA's henchmen, providers of muscle during elections and political rallies. Anant is defiant with a clear conscience (he did nothing wrong) and ready to face a tribunal. Haider Ali explains that it will hardly get that far. Tribunals are either delayed indefinitely or are rigged (by corrupt politicians), and suspension during that time is a permanent black mark on one's record (for no other politician will be willing to deal with such a troublemaker). Anant is initially baffled but goes along with Haider's plan to bring in Desai, a mediator or middle-man with connections in New Delhi, the "Centre" or national seat of power. Desai invokes higher powers to quietly cover up the matter. Anant's morals are shaken by this incident: He had to use means barely legal to uphold his righteous actions upon criminals. Anant reflects upon his childhood. His father Police Constable Velankar (Amrish Puri) retired as a Faujdar (constable) in the village police force. His father was a hard and violent man, quick to slap or beat his wife (Madhuri Purandare) on the slightest pretext. Anant recalls looking on and being powerless to intervene. When Anant graduates' college, he expresses his desire to pursue higher education but is forced into joining the police force. Things get interesting when Anant finds one of Rama Shetty's goons, badly beaten, burnt and left to die. Anant brings the man into the hospital and takes his statement where he names Rama Shetty and others who inflicted this assault. Anant storms into Rama Shetty's rooms to arrest him. But Shetty is unfazed. He makes a simple phone call to a high-ranking cop who immediately asks Anant to back off. Anant cites the context and the overwhelming evidence but is still ordered to step away. A resentful and hapless Anant leaves, feeling intensely humiliated. Haider Ali explains yet again: Rama Shetty plans to run for city council in the upcoming municipal elections and simply cannot afford to let a petty matter distract his ambitions. Anant is horrified and enraged and takes to drinking. His relationship with Jyotsna suffers. He is distraught when he is sent to provide security cover for Rama Shetty's campaign rallies. Meanwhile Mill Union Leader Mhatre (Vijay Kashyap) complains to Patil about Mill owners deploying hooligans to beat up the striking workers. Unknown to Mhatre, Patil had already made a deal with mill owner Khanna (Akash Khurana) to remove the striking workers and to allow Khanna to take material out from the factory to complete his orders. He suffers another career setback when he leads an assault team to capture a dangerous bandit in the hills outside Mumbai, and the credit for the arrest is ultimately handed to another officer. His relationship deteriorates further, and he takes to drinking fairly heavily. When Jyotsna confronts him, he confides in her. Anant arrests Rama Shetty's son (Madan Jain), when he is found having kidnapped a girl and having sexually assaulted her for a week. But as usual, he is set free. The son ends up killing Mhatre in a road accident. Things go completely out of control one night soon after as a small-time thief, accused of stealing a small radio, is brought into custody. Anant is very drunk, angry, and frustrated. He delivers a shocking and brutal beating to the thief - while continuing to drink - accusing him of "stealing the legitimate Rights of Others". Not surprisingly, the thief succumbs. The fallout leaves Anant suspended and facing charges of excessive force. Anant tries to invoke Desai again, but Haider Ali backs off, saying the situation has become too hot for most anyone. Haider Ali suggests, somewhat reluctantly, that perhaps the newly elected Rama Shetty can help. After several days of deliberation, Anant decides to visit Rama Shetty in his betting den. Rama Shetty receives Anant cordially and invites him into his inner sanctum alone - possibly aware that this righteous cop is finally on his knees before him. He agrees to help him only if Anant, in return, joins forces with him. Anant breaks out of his 'impotent' torpor and infuriated, in a stunning and violent move, strangles Rama Shetty there and then. The film ends with Anant turning himself in.
