Synopsis: A dramatic presentation of the bomb blasts that rocked Bombay on March 12, 1993, displays the police investigation, amidst allegations of human rights violations, led by DCP Rakesh Maria, in tracking down the suspects, especially Bashir Khan.

His confession and subsequent flashbacks showcases the apathy shown by authorities who refused to intervene during the destruction of the sacred Babri Masjid by Hindu Kar Sevaks, and the inability of the police to fulfill their mandate and protect the vulnerable, forcing many to flee to other locations.

the Shiv Sena Bhavan, in Dadar.

Badshah Khan almost didn't

show up that morning.

A real estate broker

from Vile Parle...

...he lost his business

in the riots.

You know what time it is?

- I just dozed off...

You know what time it is?

- I just dozed off...

Of all the days, today?

- I know...

it's late but...

- What do you mean?

Everyone's gone already?

- No, you were the chief guest.

Get your ass into the car.

Loaded?

Right outside their

fortress.

So much for the might

of the Marathas!

Hey this chimp is standing here.

- Hey stop!

You can't park here.

- It belongs to the HQ.

I'm the boss' man

The boss himself won't park here.

Don't you understand

what I am saying?

Farooq! - You do what you want.

I will park here.

Go ahead and book me a**hole.

Hey come inside. - He's talking

about a ticket. - Come in.

Go ahead and park.

How can I help you?

We're fine.

- You want to service the car?

No.

Then please don't park it here.

We'll take a minute. - Sir, my

boss will kill me. Please...

Hey, who is your boss?

Farooq, come on. - Who is your boss?

We'll leave it outside

Mohammed Ali's

But our people live there.

It's right next to Sena Bhavan.

Do one thing. Get down.

- Okay. - Get a taxi.

Mushtaq, you and Imtiaz go...

Zaveri Bazaar, Dhanji Marg...

leave it at the mouth

of the lane. - Okay. - Go.

Imtiaz Ghavate, a close friend of

Theba's, was also from Navpada.

They are neighbours.

Why so much traffic here?

Has something happened?

Can't you see? There's a jam ahead.

They're saying that there was a

bomb blast at the Stock Exchange

Cut through the traffic.

There's no time.

Time up.

You want to go see it? Sena

Bhavan... all the flying pieces...

That's not funny.

Tainur, Pawle, Bashir and Abdul

Akhar Yakub were sent to...

...the Macchimar colony at Mahim.

They were ordered to hurl grenades

amidst the resident houses.

During the riots all the timber

markets at Mahim were burnt...

...where Tiger used

to have a huge stake.

Chikna, Badshah and

Sheikh Ali left last.

As they drove past the Passport

Office, Chikna noticed...

...that one of the detonators

was blinking.

Mushtaq, stop the car.

Stop the car.

Badshah. What is it?

- Why is it blinking?

No idea.

What do we do?

- How do I know?

Throw it! Throw it! Throw it!

Fast! Throw it!

Somehow at that very moment the

Passport office bomb exploded too.

And they got trapped in the chaos.

Chikna was sh*t scared.

He cancelled the rest of

the plan, then and there.

Mushtaq, ditch the car somewhere.

Mushtaq left the car outside

the Siemens factory.

In the night all the boys

met at Theba's place...

...to hear the blast news on TV.

According to latest reports there
