Abstract: Chandra,s debut film propagates the cause of the Hindu Shiv Sena, a link emphasised by the first major Hindi film of Nana Patekar. A gang of four educated but unemployed men are a law unto themselves. Reformed by a female guardian angel , the four briefly attempt an entrepreneurial life until the woman is raped by the very gang leader against whom the youths are fighting. Revenge is swift, as is their repentance, creating a cyclical story of violence and regret. The film unashamedly rehearses Bombay,s shiv Sena idologies : unemployment is the devil's workshop , industry is controlled by rootless outsiders, who persecute and exploit the natives. The relentless violence culminates in the four thugs, presented as 'heroes', being martyred as they are hanged in a manner reminiscent of India's nationalist freedom fighters.
