Everyday Prashant witnesses the regression within Bombay city, and watches silently and helplessly as gangsters take over the lives of ordinary citizens, with the police force - which is now synonymous with oppression itself, and a protector of the rights of criminals, gangsters who have links to politicians - being nothing but a mere paper tigers. One day he witnesses a murder of a drunk named Monto, which is written off as an accident by the police and the file is closed.

User Reviews

Ajay Devgan is excellent. A Very Underrated movie

Divya Shakti is a very entertaining action movie well made by the director. A young Ajay Devgan delivers a terrific performance as the cowardice man who transforms into a angry courageous man and gets pushed to the edge. Set in Mumbai where corruption is everywhere Ajay see's. Where he works as a journalist, the police, the politician (Shakti Kapoor) who owns a womens welfare but is actually a brothel. And Amrish Puri the ruthless gangster of the area who gives Ajay a hard time. Amrish Puri was brilliant as the villain. I loved him in this movie as much as i loved him as mogambo in Mr India. Raveena has a small role but looks pretty, but this is a male related movie. This movie is one of Ajay Devgans most underrated movie, If you haven't seen it then do watch it.
