Major Balbir Singh Sodhi (Amitabh Bachchan) is on a mission to kill the Home Minister, whom he blames for the death of his army personnel, but fails.

Released in the late 90s, (1999) remains a landmark in Bollywood action cinema, primarily for bringing together two powerhouse performers, Amitabh Bachchan and Nana Patekar, for the only time in their careers . Directed by Mehul Kumar, this high-octane political action-thriller dives into themes of patriotism, corruption, and vengeance.

The Army is not fooled for long. They send in the sharp and resourceful Major Ajit Arya (Nana Patekar) to track down the fugitive colonel by posing as a Bengali journalist named "Shambhu Babu". Ajit successfully locates and confronts Balbir. However, after hearing the colonel’s compelling evidence about the Home Minister’s treachery—including a plot to bomb a revered temple during the Navratri festival—Major Ajit Arya makes a pivotal decision. He abandons his official orders and joins forces with the renegade colonel to bring down the corrupt system from within.

Amitabh Bachchan’s character has a powerful, vengeful line:

A fierce military leader who assumes a comical, rugged civilian disguise. Major Ajit Arya A brilliant, eccentric undercover military investigator. Danny Denzongpa Minister Veer Bhadra Singh The cunning, highly manipulative primary antagonist. Tabu Inspector Kiran Patkar
