Shahenshah

Shahenshah (1988) unspools a tale of vigilantism and corruption, centered on Vijay, son of an Inspector framed and driven to suicide by a cunning gangster. Now a corrupt police officer himself, Vijay's world is upended by the nocturnal vigilante "Shahenshah," who metes out extrajudicial justice to criminals. Respected by the impoverished and reviled by the police, Shahenshah remains an enigma, his true identity concealed as he continues his one-man crusade against the city's underworld.
