After directing the hard-hitting '<i>Shool</i>', the heavy-headed '<i>Dum</i>' and a light-hearted '<i>Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega</i>', director <b>E.Nivas</b> comes up with 'Bardaasht'. The interesting part is that the story and screenplay of the film is penned by director <b>Vikram Bhatt</b>. After Bobby Deol's last film '<i>Kismat</i>' where he was paired with ex- Miss World Priyanka Chopra, he is soon ready with his second consecutive actioner '<i>Bardaasht</i>' where he is paired with ex-Miss Universe Lara Dutta. <b>Himesh Reshammiya</b> composes the music on lyrics penned by <b>Sameer</b>. <br><br>
Aditya Srivastav (<b>Bobby Deol</b>) is an ex-army officer who was once in love with his senior officer's daughter, Payal (<b>Lara Dutta</b>). He was a brave and promising soldier but was asked to leave the force for not obeying his senior's order, the reason being a strong difference of opinion. <br><br>
His disobedience and subsequent removal from army was looked upon so poorly that even Payal had to bid him farewell. He started a travel agency and looked after his younger college-going brother Anuj (<b>Ritesh Deshmukh</b>), coming to terms with his disturbing past.<br><br>
Anuj is a mischief loving daredevil who thrills on his antics with his friends. But one day, his deeds cross all acceptable limits. The college principal warns Aditya of his younger brother's delinquency. When Aditya takes this up with Anuj, they have an altercation over the issue following which Anuj leaves the house in a fit of anger.<br><br>
When Anuj doesn't return the next day, Aditya tries to trace him through friends and colleagues but to no avail after which he lodges a police complaint, fearing the worst, only to discover that his brother is no more, shot in a police encounter while in possession of drugs. Shattered, Aditya simply cannot accept his brother could do something like this and decides to personally uncover the truth behind his brother's death. From here, the story takes a new turn. <br><br>
In the course of his investigation, Aditya doesn't find the police FIR very convincing. His search for the truth uncovers the series of terrible events that lead to his brother's death. <br><br>
Aditya decides to take it upon himself to clear up his dead brother's image when the police refuse to do so. He takes recourse to the justice system and goes to court, taking the help of Payal, who is now a lawyer and old emotions are now slowly rekindled.<br><br>
However, his adversaries will stop at nothing to ensure that the truth remains hidden and Aditya has no option but to take up the gun to prove his brother's innocence. <br><br>
The film also stars <b>Rahul Dev</b> and <b>Tara Sharma</b> in pivotal roles. <br><br>
Bardaasht is slated for an April release.
