+A political thriller examining the links between
+crime and politics in a north Indian state. The
+editor of the English-language New Delhi
+Times, Vikas Pande (Kapoor) has to confront
+the politician Ajay Singh (Puri) who is
+associated with a powerful lobby of illicit
+liquor manufacturers. The trail of murders,
+sequestrations in insane asylums, beatings and
+the instigation of communal riots by political
+henchmen eventually leads to the corrupt chief
+minister, D.N. Trivedi. Made in the style of
+Costa-Gavras’s films and of Pakula’s All the
+President’s Men (1976), the film is inspired by
+the case of the Indian Express whose editor
+Arun Shourie exposed the criminal links of
+Maharashtra’s chief minister, A.R. Antulay. The
+owner of the Indian Express, R.N. Goenka, is
+the figure evoked in the film by Vikas’s boss,
+the publisher Jagannath Poddar (M. Singh). The
+film faced official censorship when
+Doordarshan initially refused to broadcast it.
