Kurukshetra (2000)

Kurukshetra is a compelling tale of valor and virtue pitted against vice and villainy. In the heart of Mumbai, we find D.S.P Prithvi Raj Singh (Sanjay Dutt), a paragon of honesty and bravery in a world riddled with corruption and crime. His mere presence sends shivers down the spines of dishonorable police officers, ruthless criminals, and unscrupulous politicians. His reputation as a law enforcer precedes him, leading Iqbal Pasina (Mukesh Rishi), a notorious businessman, to admire him after witnessing the dismantling of his illegal empire on Prithvi's first day on duty. Prithvi's personal life is a stark contrast to his law-abiding persona. He lives a content life with his loving wife, Anjali (Mahima Chaudhary), and his sister, Aarti, who is romantically involved with Sub-Inspector Avinash. However, Anjali mourns the loss of her "Prithvi," the man behind the uniform, replaced by an embodiment of duty and law. The tranquility of Prithvi's life is shattered when Gita, a young woman, is brutally raped by Ambar, the son of the Chief Minister Babu Rao Deshmukh, and his friend Rohit. This atrocious act sparks the battle of "Kurukshetra," a war between the unyielding D.S.P Prithvi Raj Singh and the powerful C.M. Babu Rao Deshmukh. The Chief Minister's abundant resources and political clout stand against Prithvi's unwavering commitment to justice. The opposition leader Sambhaji Yadav and Iqbal Pasina rally behind Prithvi, fueling the fight against crime and corruption. As the stakes rise, Prithvi's world becomes a battleground, his family caught in the devastating crossfire. In this high-stakes battle of crime and justice, the question remains: who will emerge victorious in the end? Will it be the power-hungry politicians or the unwavering force of law and order? Kurukshetra is a thrilling exploration of this gripping conflict, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
