Director Prakash Jha
Genre Action Drama
Year 2005
Apaharan, is the story of a tumultuous and complex relationship between a father
(Mohan Agashe) and son (Ajay Devgan) set against the backdrop of a thriving
kidnapping industry in the Hindi heartland of Bihar, North India.
Apaharan is not merely the story of the kidnapping of human beings for mercenary
purpose. It is the story of the kidnapping of society itself. The kidnapping of
the moral fiber that sustains a civilistion.
A story that explores how values and morality are held to ransom in a world fast
losing its conscience. Apharan resonates with the cry of spineless and helpless
society whose very soul has been abducted.
The proliferation of crime, the precarious political balance of coalition
politics, the so-called interests of minorities, fractured and purchased vote
banks, a submissive and complaint bureaucracy, a corrupt police force…The
blurring boundaries between politics and crime…
The time of nexus is long gone. Now criminals are politicians and politicians
are criminals… Politicians who operate from jails and criminals who operate from
ministerial offices… As scared and fearful business communities, and the common
taxpayer are extorted to finance this world, there is no right and no wrong. No
fear of god, no morality and no principles…Everything can be is acceptable
because the conscience of society has been kidnapped. And people of courage and
conscience are a rarity, a disappearing anachronism…
Deep in the Hindi heartland of India the story of Apaharan unfolds…
