Ashaant

<p>is a story about the effort made by the whole Police Force of the country, especially two police officers, A.C.P. Vishnu, Bangalore Police ( ) and A.C.P. Vijay Bombay Police ( ), to bring peace, i.e. Shanti to the country. They wage a war against a Mafia who deals in printing fake currency notes and have become a threat to the country’s security. These Mafia dons Kaka (Jai Kalgutkar) and Rana (Punit) are operating from Bangalore. But when the pressure of Police Officer Vishnu mounts on them, they decide to shift their base to Bombay. As they enter Bombay, Rana is nabbed by ACP Vijay and is arrested. Vijay starts his investigation to reach the roots of this Mafia through Rana, when orders come from the home ministry to shift Rana from Bombay custody to Bangalore court for many previous serious crimes. Vijay, along with his friend ACP Amit ( ), joins him to re-arrest Rana. Vishnu, who is in charge of Rana’s case gets them permission, on two conditions; that Vijay and Amit can’t use their weapons and police uniforms. Vishnu’s wife Anita ( ) and Vijay are ex-lovers. Their relationship ended as Anita’s father Ex-Chief Minister Niranjan Das refused to let his daughter marry an ordinary Police Officer. Also, to take revenge on Vijay, he got Vijay’s Sister Ritu (Amit’s Wife) killed. Vijay then misused his power as a Police Officer and forced Niranjas Das to resign as Chief Minister. Anita also took an oath that she would only marry a Police Officer and married Vishnu. On the other hand, Rana splits away from Kaka and forms his own Mafia, which gradually becomes more powerful and ruthless. Vijay and Amit, along with Vishnu, form a team to capture Rana and now Kaka also. Sonali (Mamta Kulkarni) a dancer in Kaka’s hotel, joins this team of three against the two mafia operating in the city. Kaka manages to create a misunderstanding between Vijay and Vishnu to break their unity and divide their power. Vishnu starts suspecting illegitimate relationships between his wife Anita and Vijay. The degree of suspicion rises, but Amit finally clears the misunderstanding between Vishnu and Vijay. They join each other with equal faith and then manage to take down both the Mafias. Rana and Kaka are destroyed but at the cost of sacrificing their dear friend Amit.</p>
