Plot

Takkar revolves around the lives of three characters — Ravi Malhotra (Sunil Shetty), Mohini (Sonali Bendre) and Inspector D'Costa (Naseeruddin Shah). Ravi is a freelance photographer, in love with Mohini, who works hard to make a living so they can be together. Inspector D'Costa is an efficient but corrupt cop who takes advantage of criminals by helping them in return for money and then double crossing them; he pretends to be on the side of the law. No one is considered strong or wise enough to confront D'costa.

One day D'Costa notices Ravi and Mohini on the beach, and he falls for her. He frames Ravi on the day before his marriage to Mohini by falsely implicating him in a drug deal case in a fake raid. Ravi is sentenced to four years of imprisonment. In prison, Ravi decides to study the law so he can fight injustice and is helped by prisoners like Kaku (Rakesh Bedi) who are in jail because of D'Costa and want to avenge themselves.

In Ravi's absence, D'Costa befriends Mohini and she begins to like and respect him. After two years, Ravi is released from jail on grounds of good behavior and on efforts by DCP Mishra (Shafi Inamdar) made on Mohini's pleas. Soon Ravi and Mohini are married. D'Costa is infuriated and he harasses the couple repeatedly to get close to Mohini. Ravi soon learns that it was D'Costa who had framed him on the day before his marriage, and he decides to avenge himself. He follows D'Costa closely, and being a photographer, captures his activities on camera. DCP Mishra is killed by D'Costa when both of them rescue a group of school children from terrorists holding them captive in a school. This is noted by Ravi, and he makes it known publicly. D'Costa tries to eliminate Ravi but in vain. Soon an enquiry is arranged by the police (on Ravi's request), and Ravi plays the prosecution lawyer, wherein traps D'Costa in his own words, leading to his confession. He also provides evidence for the same.

The helpless D'Costa is now suspended from service and given orders not to go anywhere nearer than 500 feet of Ravi and Mohini. His mistress Lily (Archana Puran Singh) tells the couple that he will never leave them in peace, but that his own desires can be used against him. Ravi leaves Mohini, pretending to go out of the city. D'Costa learns of this and immediately goes to the couple's house, where he is met by a surprise reception. Mohini dances with him, pretends to seduce him when abruptly Ravi breaks in, beats up D'Costa, police arrive and arrest the former cop. D'Costa is now jailed. In prison, he comes across the men whom he had jailed, who attack and kill him.

The film ends with D'Costa's burial, as Ravi sticks a cross with D'Costa's name on the grave. He then says "Ab khel khatam, Kissa tamaam shuddh " (the game is over and the entire story has come to an end) and walks away with Mohini, as the prisoners look on and the credits begin to roll.^[3]
