+Baapji (Om Puri) is the self-styled king of a
+township. His loyal lieutenant Narasimha
+(Sunny Deol) commits the crimes for him.
+Baapji kills the only honest policeman who
+attempts to arrest him, and the cop’s son, who
+is in love with Baapji’s daughter, is severely
+beaten. Baapji’s daughter drives off a
+mountainside and declares that she will do
+worse if her father does her boyfriend any
+more harm. When Baapji asks Narasimha to
+expel the policeman’s family from the town,
+Narasimha recalls his own homeless past,
+reforms and turns against his mentor. The film
+updates Vishnu Purana’s legend: Narasimha,
+half man and half lion, bursts out of a pillar to
+destroy the evil Hiranyakashapu. Sunny Deol,
+acting in the Rambo-style, performs the
+mythological act shortly after he has been
+chained and whipped, and then goes on almost
+single-handedly to destroy Baapji’s mansion,
+allowing the young lovers to be united. The
+villain is killed through divine intervention as
+he is impaled by the falling hand of a giant
+clock. Chandra’s visceral camerawork matches
+the performance of the muscular Deol and
+together they amount to a savage argument in
+defence of a revivalist mass culture.
