Shahenshah depicts contemporary reality in the raw, but within the broad
frameworks of a big commercial film.
With an adequate dose of every nuance in human emotions: sizzling song and dance
numbers; the colour of outdoor romance; the naughty tug-of-war between brother
and sister: the comic twists and interludes; the operative style of the
underworld; the connivance of police in perpetuating crime; the political
interference for the haves at the cost of the havenots; the glaring dividing
line between want and luxury; the pride of honesty and above all, the blind eye
of justice that lets criminals off when some clever lawyer twists it's arms,
when evidence is tampered with, to frame an innocent, and let the guilty off the
hook.
Until a messiah emerges on the scene who is a self appointed policeman, who
makes his own rules, tries his own rules, tries his own judgements.....
Missing..... underworld, and it's accomplices in the corridor of power.
