Pitaah (2002)

In the impoverished village of Shekhapur, the iron-fisted Thakur Avadh Narayan Singh's reign of terror suppresses the villagers' cries for justice. His sons, Bhola and Bacchu, follow their father's cruel footsteps. They squander their time in debauchery and drink, and their vile actions remain unchecked due to their father's ruthless influence. In stark contrast, Rudra, a humble farmer, cherishes the simple joy of life with his wife Paro and their three children - Durga, Luv, and Kush. Their world, however, shatters when Rudra's 9-year-old daughter Durga falls prey to the barbaric impulses of Bhola and Bacchu, who leave the innocent girl brutally violated. Despite the overwhelming evidence against Avadh's sons, the wheels of justice grind slowly and painfully. The senior doctor, tasked with preparing the medical report, and Inspector Ramnarayan Bhardwaj, responsible for arresting the culprits, fall prey to corruption. Bribed by the lawyer defending Bhola and Bacchu, they tamper with the evidence, turning the scales of justice in favor of the powerful. Paro, desperate for justice for her daughter, implores Rudra to take the law into his own hands. Thus begins a painful confrontation between two fathers - one drunk on power, determined to save his sons at any cost, and the other, a poor laborer, fueled by the desire for retribution. Amidst the maelstrom of corruption and injustice, the question remains - will justice prevail, or will power once again silence the cries of the innocent?
