Saket Ram, played by Kamal Haasan, was an honest and righteous man, who worked as an archeologist, during the partition of Bengal. He works for a Muslim boss in the Sindh province. When he returns to his wife Aparna, played by Rani Mukerjee in Calcutta, riots have already broken out. Muslims are slaughtering and killing people. He is devastated to see a rash Muslim group entering his house. They rape and murder Aparna. He goes into a fit of rage and kills the Muslims who took his wife’s life.
