Director Priyadarshan tackles an incendiary topic in this drama about three college students who disappear from a rural village and the dedicated government officers -- Pratap Kumar (Ajay Devgan) and Sidhant Chaturvedi (Akshaye Khanna) -- assigned to investigate. Surrounded by suspicious locals and stymied by corrupt police, Pratap and Sidhant learn that the case revolves around bitter caste discrimination and an unusual honor killing.
