SHAHENSHAH 1988

Shahenshah is a 1988 Bollywood superhero film starring Amitabh Bachchan in the title role. The film was produced and directed by Tinnu Anand. The story of the film was written by Amitabh Bachchan's wife Jaya Bachchan and the screenplay was written by veteran screenwriter Inder Raj Anand who died before the film was released. The film marked Bachchan's comeback after a three year hiatus during which he had entered politics. Due to the hype of Amitabh Bachchan's comeback Shahenshah went onto do well at the box office.

PLOT

The movie opens with a corrupt and sniveling bank manager Mathur (Prem Chopra) and crime baron JK (Amrish Puri). Mathur is in a financial dilemma, and JK orchestrates a bank robbery to bail him out. Inspector Shrivastav (Kader Khan) gets wind of this plot and is about to crack the case when JK enlists an exotic dancer, Julie (Aruna Irani), to use the robbery as a backdrop and frame the honest inspector for corruption.


Inspector Shrivastav, unable to bear the false charges, hangs himself at home after being released on bail. This creates a lasting and powerful impression on his young son, Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan). Vijay retains the noose his father used to hang himself.
Years later, Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) grows up in the care of Inspector Aslam Khan (Pran), and becomes a cop himself. Aslam Khan is an honest cop much like Vijay's father. Vijay is an obsequious and cowardly inspector, prone to bribery and generally scared of powerful criminals. It doesn't take JK long to find Vijay, get him on payroll, and run his underworld crime empire (drugs, guns, racketeering) past the cops.


A new apparition bursts upon this scene. This is Shahenshah, a costumed crime fighter (see movie poster). The Shahenshah character is very loosely based on Batman. It is rumored that the chain mail on his right arm weighs 14 kg. This iron hand is used to attack enemies and smash objects, and Shahenshah's other weapon is a noose. Shahenshah describes himself as "one who doesn't hold a cop's job but does the same work; one who apprehends criminals himself, conducts the trials himself, and, pronounces and executes the sentences himself". It is revealed a bit later that Shahenshah is actually Vijay. Frustrated and helpless at the corruption in the police force, Vijay has employed this new tack to get to the criminals. Vijay/Shahenshah's outward mission is to take out crime, but his real goal is to get to the guys who framed his father.
