| 15 | Chandra’s debut film propagates the cause of |
| 16 | the Hindu Shiv Sena, a link emphasised by the |
| 17 | first major Hindi film of Nana Patekar. A gang |
| 18 | of four educated but unemployed men are a |
| 19 | law unto themselves. Reformed by a female |
| 20 | guardian angel (Singh), the four briefly attempt |
| 21 | an entrepreneurial life until the woman is |
| 22 | raped by the very gang leader (and his masters) |
| 23 | against whom the youths are fighting. Revenge |
| 24 | is swift, as is their repentance, creating a |
| 25 | cyclical story of violence and regret. The film |
| 26 | unashamedly rehearses Bombay’s Shiv Sena |
| 27 | ideologies: unemployment is the devil’s |
| 28 | workshop, industry is controlled by ‘rootless |
| 29 | outsiders’ (North Indians, mainly) who |
| 30 | persecute and exploit ‘the natives’. The |
| 31 | relentless violence culminates in the four thugs, |
| 32 | presented as ‘heroes’, being martyred as they |
| 33 | are hanged in a manner reminiscent of India’s |
| 34 | nationalist freedom fighters. |
