Ghulami [DVD]

Near India and Pakistan's border-town of Fatehpur, lives Ranjit Singh
Choudhary who has been labeled as a rebel by his schoolmaster and his dad,
Makhan's employer, Bade Thakur, as he could not stand the injustice that was
meted to farmers like his dad, and his ancestors who had become economic
slaves to the upper-caste Thakurs, who loaned them some money, mortgaged their
land, made them toil in the fields, took away their crops, molested their
women, and when they passed away, forced their children to take on the debt.
Ranjit decides to leave for good, but does return on the very day of his dad's
passing. He is asked to assume the loan left unpaid by his dad, when he
refuses to do so, he is treated as a bandit, leading him to confront the
corrupt Police Force. When Bade Thakur's daughter, Sumitra, who was Ranjit's
childhood sweetheart, marries DSP Sultan Singh, a buffalo is slaughtered and
left to rot in the community well, poisoning the water, resulting in several
deaths, including that of the local schoolmaster. Bandit Surajbhan Singh robs
the wedding party, earns the wrath of Sultan, is hunted down, and brutally
killed, resulting in Sultan's promotion as SP. Now the stage is all set for
Sultan to capture Ranjit, which he does, but Ranjit manages to escape, joins
forces with Havaldar-turned-renegade, Gopi Dada, and an army officer, Jabhar,
to confront the Thakurs, and attempt to rid the records that bind the farmers
to loans that were taken centuries ago. Sultan has undertaken to stop Ranjit,
Gopi, and Jabhar, at all and any costs - and with the might of the law and the
Thakurs behind him - it does look like Ranjit and his men may not have any
chance at survival - leaving the evil to flourish on forever.
