Aghaat

The story takes place at a factory called Shivalik. The workers are divided between two unions. One of them is led by Madhav Verma. Madhav is a patient man of principle. The other union is run by Krishnan Raju. His methods are entirely different. He does not shy away from force or pressure. The tension between the two sides is constant. One day a worker is badly injured at the plant. The question of compensation comes up. The two unions come into conflict over it. The workers do not know whom to trust. Madhav’s way of doing things is put to the test. His leadership and his effect are called into question. The film is about the conflict inside the union movement. Om Puri, Gopi and Pankaj Kapur appear in it, an Indian production Govind Nihalani finished in 1985.
