Synopsis
'Eklavya' (Amitabh Bachchan), the royal guard, lives in a time warp. He lives only to protect the fort, the dynasty and the king.
Eklavya's family has protected Devigarh, a centuries old citadel in Rajasthan for a period of nine generations. His marksmanship is
stuff of legends. Eklavya has spent his entire life serving the royals and closely guarding their secrets, but now he's getting old and
increasingly blind.
The heir, Prince Harshwardhan (Saif Ali Khan), who stayed away in London returns back to his kingdom on sudden demise of the
queen, Rani Suhasinidevi (Sharmila Tagore). The Prince's return brings a rush of joy to his mentally challenged twin sister, Princess
Nandini (Raima Sen) and his childhood love Rajjo (Vidya Balan). But the joy of reunion is short-lived. There is unrest in the kingdom.
Farmers are being stripped of their lands. The king, Rana Jaywardhan (Boman Irani), influenced by his brother, Rana Jyotiwardhan
(Jackie Shroff), supports the atrocities being forced upon the helpless peasants. The king receives a death threat over the phone. An
irreverent police officer, Pannalal Chohar (Sanjay Dutt), is called in to investigate. But he might be too late.
The fragile peace of the land is suddenly shattered by a barrage of bullets. And amidst the mayhem, the safely guarded secrets of the
fort are unveiled. What follows is a contemporary, edge-of-the-seat dramatic action thriller with a stellar ensemble cast - Amitabh
Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Jimmy Sheirgill, Raima Sen and Sharmila Tagore.
