Plot summary for
Yeshwant (1997) More at IMDbPro »

Tough policier about a straight, but maverick cop who does not believe in bending over, no matter what. He encourages his wife to become a lawyer and tutors her at home, while helping with the chores, and she does achieve that goal. Somewhat like an Indian version of 'Dirty Harry', this is virtually a one-man show by Nana Patekar. Written by ajmal hussain {ajji@nightmail.com}

Born in an orphanage Yeshwant lives a middle-class lifestyle in Mumbai, India, along with his wife, Ragini. He works as a Police Inspector while Ragini is an I.A.S. student. Yeshwant's honesty and diligence only gets him suspended with half-pay, and he has his lawyer friend, Vikram, assist him. Even while the Enquiry Commission is investigating his conduct, he is arrested by Inspector Joshi for killing a man, which gets him 10 years in prison. Vikram, however, appeals and a higher court overturns this conviction. An embittered Yeshwant returns to work only to find that his wife, now the Deputy Collector, is having a much-publicized affair with her body-guard, Police Inspector John Frank, who was her fellow collegian. Distracted from chasing criminals, Yeshwant has only one objective now - confront Ragini and kill John Frank - by hook or by crook, while his opponents, which include Salim Sheikh and the State Chief Minister Virendra Deshmukh, are busy plotting his demise.
