Shankara is a 1991 Indian Bollywood film directed by Sudarshan Nag and produced by D. Tann. It stars Sunny Deol and Neelam. It is a remake of Shibu Mitra's Bengali film Badnam (1990) starring Prosenjit Chatterjee, in which both Deol and Neelam starred. [1]
The plot is set in motion when a wealthy woman, Rani Maa, facing threats from her enemies, hires Shankara. To protect her daughter, Seema, Rani Maa devises a clever plan: she publicly announces that Shankara is betrothed to Seema. This arrangement is purely a ruse, a facade designed to ward off their adversaries. However, unbeknownst to Shankara, he has walked into a dangerous game where he is merely a pawn.
As Shankara enters the household, he begins to uncover the true nature of the conspiracies brewing within the mansion. He realizes that the threats are not just external but are being orchestrated from within, by two manipulative and conniving figures: Diwanji and Munshiji. These men are perturbed by Rani Maa's decision and have their own sinister motives. The situation is further complicated by Popatlal, Munshi's nephew, who also has his sights set on marrying Seema.
Shankara's presence disrupts their carefully laid plans. As he spends more time with Seema, a genuine bond begins to form between them, transforming the pretense of their engagement into a real passionate romance. However, the bad guys, including the dacoit Kehar Singh, do not take this lightly. The tension escalates, leading to a dramatic confrontation. During what is supposed to be the fake wedding ceremony, Kehar Singh and his men attack the haveli, and in the ensuing chaos, both Shankara and Seema are injured. Shankara must not only protect Seema but also expose the true intentions of the conspirators and bring them to justice.
