Sangharsha (1995 film)

A village is ruled by two powerful personalities: a politician (Dipak Dutta) and a doctor (Samata). Both characters turn out to be corrupt in their own ways, and employ a group of hooligans who do their dirty work. (The leader of Dutta's group is named Bhambol; the head of the doctor's group is named Rana). Rana is the son of a school teacher, but is unemployed, which leads him to ask Samanta for a job. Thereafter, the corrupt doctor begins exploiting him, involving him in anti-social activities. Similarly, MLA Dipak Dutta utilizes Bhambol for the sake of his power and position. Because of these two power-seeking personalities, their village is divided into two territories: Uttarpradesh and Dahhhinpare.

Suvankar, a hard-working and honest doctor, comes to the village along with his sister Roma and he soon starts challenging all kinds of local corruption. He fights with Bhambol and his companion to save a pregnant woman and her child, eventually taking the lady, along with her father, in his car to get help. Bhambol and his group plan to kidnap Suvankar's sister as revenge for Suvankar refusing to pay their extortion money. Bhambol has a change of heart though when Suvankar offers to operate on his mother's heart without a fee. While collecting protection money, Rana tortures a tailor to make her give 500 rs to him. Roma hears about this and reports the incident to the police, but the police officer refuses to act. It turns out that he gets bribe money from Dr. Samanta. Rana is instructed to cut Roma's hair in public as an act of revenge and does so.

Suvankar recognizes Rana's father as their childhood teacher and gives him basic treatment for some wounds. When news of Suvankar's treatment is related to Rana, he feels ashamed for cutting Roma's hair and asks for forgiveness from Suvankar and Roma. Dr. Samanta makes plans to kill Bhombol's mother and then to accuse Suvankar of the crime, but the fact that Dipak is the culprit and Bhambol is the victim gets proved in the court with the help of a few photographs.

Dipak's son Rohit and Samanta's daughter Soma are in love with each other and speak out against their father's corruption. Samanta makes a confession in court regarding the conspiracy he made with MLA to kill Bhombol's mother. Dutta and Samanta get imprisoned for five years.
