Story:-
Aditya Shrivastav [Bobby Deol] is an ex-army officer who was in love with his senior officer's daughter, Payal [Lara Dutta]. He was a brave and promising soldier but was asked to leave the force for not obeying his senior's orders.His disobedience and subsequent dismissal from army was looked upon so poorly that even Payal had to bid him farewell. He started a travel agency and looked after his younger college-going brother Anuj [Ritesh Deshmukh], coming to terms with his disturbing past.

Anuj is a mischief-loving daredevil, but one day his deeds cross all acceptable limits. The college principal warns Aditya of his younger brother's delinquency. When Aditya takes this up with Anuj, they have an altercation over the issue, following which Anuj leaves the house in a fit of anger.When Anuj doesn't return the next day, Aditya tries to trace him through friends and colleagues but to no avail, after which he lodges a police complaint, only to discover that his brother is no more, shot in a police encounter while in possession of drugs.Shattered, Aditya simply cannot accept his brother could do something like this and decides to uncover the truth behind his brother's death. From here, the story takes a new turn.

In the course of the investigation, Aditya doesn't find the police FIR very convincing. His search for the truth uncovers the series of terrible events that lead to his brother's death.Aditya decides to take it upon himself to clear up his dead brother's image when the police refuse to do so. He goes to court, taking the help of Payal, who is now a lawyer and old emotions are now slowly rekindled.However, his adversaries [Rahul Dev, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Ganesh Yadav] will stop at nothing to ensure that the truth remains hidden and Aditya has no option but to take up the gun to prove his brother's innocence.

BARDAASHT is yet another film that exposes the corrupt few in the police force. In this case, the villains [cops] are painted black without beating around the bush.A number of similar-sounding flicks have been witnessed in the past [the innocent versus the corrupt], but what makes BARDAASHT rise to a watchable level is E. Niwas' deft execution of the subject.
