Prashant witnesses atrocities at the hands of local dons and the police, then becomes a don himself to show that good can be done for the community instead of destruction.
Prashant lives a middle-classed lifestyle along with his dad, who runs a small retail outlet; his mom; and sister, Geeta. Prashant is concerned about gangsters, led by DK, who openly and forcibly extort money from everyone. When a poor shopkeeper, Raghu, is assaulted, Prashant's friend, Shankar, accompanies him to file a police complaint with Inspector Nagpal. Shortly thereafter Shankar gets killed. As there is no one to look after Prashant's sister, Suman, Prashant takes her home with him, and ends up getting married to her. Both settle into an idyllic lifestyle, and give birth to a son, Raju. Their harmonious lifestyle will soon be shattered when Geeta will be sexually molested and killed; Prashant's father will be arrested for killing Inspector Nagpal; while Prashant himself will end up killing DK and be on the verge of turning into an extortionist himself.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
