Ardh Satya ( Hindi : अर्द्ध सत्य , arddh satya ; translated: half truth ) is a 1983 Hindi film by Govind Nihalani .

action

Anant Velankar takes his job as a police officer very seriously and strictly adheres to the rules. His father was also a righteous police officer.

During his work, Anant comes into contact with the corrupt working methods of his colleagues: it appears that Rama Shetty, a well-known politician, is involved in a murder. After Anant has evidence of this, he wants to arrest Rama. But Anant is powerless and finds himself in a dilemma: on the one hand, some corrupt police officers demand the release of Rama, on the other hand, Anant only wants to fulfill the duties of his profession.

He is constantly frustrated and, to the annoyance of his friend Jyothna, takes out his anger on others. Although he knows the example of the ex-police officer Lobo, who has sunk to an alcohol wreck, Anant beats a trapped petty criminal to death in a frustrating moment and is then suspended. But Anant cannot and does not want to accept the suspension and turns to Rama - a difficult decision when Anant's future stands between truth and lies. During the conversation, Anant feels misunderstood and strangles Rama. Then he leaves the building and faces the police.
