...Jayate

1997 140 min

Stuck with getting affidavits stamped and signed, alcoholic Advocate Mohan Agashe accepts a case of medical malpractice against two gynecologists affiliated with Sanjivani Hospital whose alleged negligence put a young widow and mother of one child, Aarti Mehta, in a state of acute coma. The hospital is willing to make a settlement, but Mohan refuses and decides to try his luck in court. He soon finds out about the greed of patients' relatives, which forces him to accommodate Aarti's married sister Pooja and her son in his already-cramped flat; the lack of evidence and his very own credibility; a hostile judge among other challenges that threaten to not only drive him to despair but also turn his life upside-down.
