Plot

[edit]

Vijay Singh is hell bent on taking vengeance against three men who had traumatized and killed some of his family members. Vijay's sister, Durga Devi Singh, has joined the Police department just to take revenge against those three men through lawful means. Vijay has decided to kill them one by one by taking law into his own hands as he does not believe in the law.

One day, Vijay comes across an angry and embittered Jaan Nisar Khan who has just been released from prison. Khan used to work as a Forest Officer, and lived with his wife Zakhiya and daughter Neelu. One day while on duty he had come across some poachers who were cutting sandal wood trees illegally. When challenged, they had retaliated. A struggle ensued and one of them, Ram Gupta, was killed. Khan was charged with murder, tried in court, and sentenced to 20 years in prison. His shocked and devastated wife, was raped and she had killed herself and their daughter.

Khan now decides to help Vijay. Further, Khan finds out that Gupta is still alive. How the three protagonists, Khan, Durga and Vijay, succeed in avenging the enemies forms the rest of the story.

Reception

[edit]

S Venkat Narayan of India Today wrote "Andhaa Kaanoon (Blind Law) is what they call a masala film. It has violence, injustice, sex, revenge, thrills, good photography, slick direction. The potion is, like the witches' brew, deadly. The story is too complicated to bother about. Suffice it to say that it's all about the law being an ass."[4]
