 Ghaath
is about today's India. It exposes the dark side of
the state
of affairs as it exists in our country today. The
film successfully depicts stark reality through the
eyes of its protagonist Krishna Patil (Manoj Bajpai),
the son of an ex-freedom fighter, who is an idealist
(Anupam Kher). Krishna's ambition is to become a police
officer and thereby uphold the highest traditions
of law. He joins the police academy where he manages
to impress the training officer Ajay Pandey (Om Puri),
with his sincerity and lofty ideas.
Krishna
also comes into contact with Ka vita
Chauudhry (Tabu), a lawyer, who seems to be cynical
about his idealistic approach to life. Kavita is convinced
that the prevalent corrupt systems and practices will
destroy Krishna's ideals in no time. Not to be cowed
down so easily, Krishna decides to wage a one-man war
against the system.
 After
passing out from theacademy, Krishna fails to qualify
for a job because he is unwilling to grease palms. Meanwhile,
tragedy strikes when his sister (Sheeba) as well as
her husband, lose their lives during a run-in with a
power broker (Govind Namdeo). This incites Krishna to
wage war against anti-social elements on his own terms,
and thus the story unfolds through a series of incidents
very interestingly depicted on celluloid.
