Synopsis by Nathan Southern

In the tradition of Death Wish, Falling Down and Fighting Mad comes the urban vigilante drama Dombivli Fast - a tough, bitter dissection of the rage that lies at the core of contemporary society. The story concerns Madhav Apte (Sandeep Kulkarni), an Indian banker whose firm moral principles are constantly challenged by friends, family and associates. Ultimately, they goad him over the edge, and he suddenly cracks, physically attacking a street vendor in broad daylight for refusing to give him change. Apte then arms himself, wandering the streets and scouring the neighborhoods for any sign of wrongdoing that he can "correct," but leaving a nasty trail of destruction in his wake. The police are promptly alerted, but cannot decide whether to arraign Apte or treat his actions as necessary heroics. Co-writer-director Nishikant Kamat utilizes rapid fire editing and frenzied camerawork to capture the story's high-wire, cutthroat tension. Shilpa Tulaskar and Sandesh Jadhav co-star.
