Storyline
A tale of an honest cop set against the backdrop of the brutal, lawless system prevailing in the Indian state of Bihar, and the endless suffering he tolerates before all hell breaks loose.
Samar Pratap Singh (Manoj Bajpai) is an honest police officer who has a supportive wife Manjari (Raveena Tandon) and a little daughter Sonu. Samar's honesty frequently gets him transferred, and he finally reaches the little town of Motihari in Bihar. Motihari's lord and master, so to speak, is slimy MLA Bachu Yadav (Sayaji Shinde). The police and most of Samar's colleagues kowtow to Yadav. The epitome of corruption, Yadav has been the MLA for 15 years, but loses his ticket as his party opts for someone else. On hearing this, Yadav destroys the unfortunate man and avails himself of the party ticket. Samar, an honest cop, has frequent run-ins with Yadav, to the point where Samar begins to fear for his family. Does Samar manage to take on Yadav and win?
