The deities delight in places where women are revered, but what about the
places where a woman is raped every six hours and her dignity maligned every
second? In the crux of "Insaaf" is standing a traditional married Indian woman
who is not only raped by a man, but the law and the society itself! Finally she
rises like a phoenix and her actions promises a beginning to a new era. The
fictional tale of a factual account and social history of 21st Century - forms
the backdrop of "INSAAF" - The Justice.
IAS officer Prasad (Sanjay Suri) gets posted in a city in northern India where
he settles with his wife Kunti (Namrata). Kunti, a traditional housewife becomes
an object of lust for Bunty (Dayal)- the son of minister Rameshwari Verma (Kunika).
Finding an opportunity, Bunty rapes Kunti. Husband Prasad runs from
Pillar-to-Post seeking justice but only in vein! Finally out of frustration he
takes the ultimate step of SUICIDE.
The nation is stunned by the shocking news of "the rape of the wife of Director,
social security" and subsequent "the suicide by an IAS officer" whereas the
locals take it with a pinch of salt! Suspecting the logistics of the case, the
Union Home Minister appoints a high level CBI team to probe the matter and book
the culprit.
Mr. Abhimanyu Singh (Dino Morea), an IPS officer, a man of proven integrity and
monitored track record, is assigned the responsibility of cracking the case. On
his mission, he encounters a social worker Yogi, who keeps the encyclopedia of
the (mal) functioning of 'un-civic' society. Yogi gives a jolt to the inspector
with the statement that 'the rape case was never registered at all'. He also
gives clues about how the 'jungle raj' operates, the incidents that culminated
into 'the rape of Kunti'. The victim is condemned to a life of hell bearing
stigma and indifference of society, whilst the rapist is roaming and reigning
scot-free.
Superintendent of Police Abhimanyu Singh, with the help of his ladylove, Reena
(Henna), an investigating journalist nabs Bunty staking his life and carrier.
The judiciary comes into action. But, alas, its the 'rape of trial than the
trial of rape'! The court exonerates Abhimanyu Singh for lack of evidence
against Bunty. As for Bunty, he saves himself from the law with his alliances
with the much influential political figures thus exposing (once again) the
corruption in Indian political sphere.
Finally S.P.Abhimanyu Singh comes out with the only resort. He, along with
Journalist Reena, counsels Kunti who had been keeping a low profile to prevent
social stigma. The two instill strength and confidence in Kunti to face life,
fight for justice, and more importantly….. to punish the evil without which the
torture on women would continue and go unnoticed. In a rage of fire, Kunti rises
like a phoenix from ashes! The civil society wakes up to capture the rapist. The
jostling heated commotion follows. And lastly Kunti makes her memorable tryst
with "INSAAF"- The Justice!
