==Plot==<br />
The basic injustice at the core of ''Gangvaa'' is the way the landed classes take advantage of ordinary village folk. Early on in the film, a work crew finds a pot full of gold coins and Thakur Mahendra Singh ([[Amrish Puri]]) confiscates them to add to his already massive wealth. Enter Gangvaa ([[Rajnikanth]]) to save the day; Gangvaa kills Zamindar and his goons. Gangvaa puts together a band of the men who had suffered under the Zamindar's tyranny. Together they hang out in the wilderness and perform Robin-Hood-esque raids for the sake of vigilante justice. At some point Jamna ([[Shabana Azmi]]) encounters Gangvaa and is smitten. Then a village girl accuses Gangvaa of rape, and Jamna is enraged – it is here that she gets down to find the truth. It turns out that the rape was actually done by a totally different guy named Gangvaa ([[Raza Murad]]), and righting this wrong wins Jamna back for our hero, but makes him a new set of enemies that he spends the rest of the film fleeing from. Also on his tail is a police inspector ([[Suresh Oberoi]]), who cannot allow vigilante justice in his district, no matter how noble the intention.<br />
