Plot

[edit]

Arjun Singh and the Srivastav brothers, Raghu and Shekhar, are neighbors in a gangster-prone area in Mumbai. When Arjun's union leader father is killed, the brothers urge him to avenge his death. They get a sword, find the killers and kill them. Arjun is the prime suspect in this homicide and the brothers get him to flee to Delhi, where he begins a new life as a real estate agent, Mohan Kumar Sharma. Years later, Arjun returns to Mumbai and is welcomed with open arms by Raghu and Shekhar, who are now leading gangsters in their own right. Arjun also renews his romance with the estranged Srivastavs' sister, Sanjana. Sanjana would like Arjun and her brothers to straighten up, and Arjun agrees with her and he starts to work on Raghu, the more flexible of the two, and partially succeeds, especially since Raghu is romantically involved with a school-teacher, who will have nothing to do with him unless he gives up all criminal activity. Raghu is seriously considering going straight when Shekhar gives him the devastating news, that Arjun is not who he claims to be - but a plainclothes police officer, who is out to get them by hook or by crook.

Reception

[edit]

Anita Bora of Rediff.com wrote, "The blood and gore, the violence and sometimes profane dialogue is all well to depict life in the streets. But it all seems wasted in the end when some basic questions remain unanswered."[5] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film 1+12 out of 5 and wrote that "On the whole, FOOTPATH is a routine fare that may not find many takers".[6] A critic from IANS gave the film 2+12 out of 5, writing, "Sadly Footpath runs on the much tried and tested path".[7]
