Ghatak (1996)

Starring Bollywood action king Sunny Deol (of GADAR-EK PREM KATHA, one of Bollywood's biggest blockbusters ever), this high-octane action film provides Deol with a role that showcases his leading-man star qualities. A cruel, tyrannical gangster, Katya (Danny Denzongpa), has taken control of a small Indian village, ruling with an iron fist. A resident named Sachdev (Om Puri) secretly organizes a rebellion, but when Katya learns of his plans, the rabble-rouser is violently put to death for all to see. Hope for the villagers seems lost, until Shambu Nath (Amrish Puri) comes to town seeking medical attention. He is accompanied by his son, Kashi (Deol), who takes it upon himself to end the oppression he witnesses. Vowing to avenge the villagers and free them from the chains of abuse, Kashi is unaware of the danger in which he is putting innocent people, including his ailing father. The exciting film also boasts the last score written by the great Bollywood composer P.D. Burman, who died shortly before its release.
