PLOT : The machinations and underhand dealings in
the cesspool of politics is the backdrop of this movie. It revolves around an on-going game of one-upmanship between the state chief minister and his powerful
opposition leader. The events relate to current issues
so much that they start with the collapse of a cessed building, revealing the politician-builder nexus, as well
as the industrialization of a rural area and the conseq-
uent displacement of villagers, with a large number of players involved, including the honest, anti-establish-
ment cop and nosey reporters. The climax takes place
at the chief minister's daughter's wedding, where all
these threads are woven into a fine web to trap the
erring politicos.
ROLE : Anna Sawant.

normal life once again.
