So what makes KURUKSHETRA watchable, you ask? It's Manjrekar's treatment! A subject like this has been attempted innumerable times earlier. KURUKSHETRA falls into the genre of GHAYAL, ARJUN, DAMINI and several films of the ilk that expose the common man's fight against injustice. KURUKSHETRA brings together Mahesh Manjrekar and Sanjay Dutt, a combination that worked magic in VAASTAV.

In this battle of crime and justice, who wins, who loses? The Chief Minister has money, power and government infrastructure, while Prithvi Raj Singh has the support of his family, opposition leader Sambhaji Yadav (Shivaji Satam) and Iqbal Pasina. The battle is fought between Chief Minister Babu Rao Deshmukh and D.S.P. This brutal incident culminates into a battle. One day, Chief Minister Babu Rao Deshmukh's (Om Puri) son, Ambar, and his friend, Rohit, trap a girl, Gita, in a hotel room and rape her. However, Anjali is sad because she has lost 'Prithvi' to the uniform. Aarti is in love with Sub-Inspector Avinash (Salil Ankola).

Prithvi Raj Singh, his wife Anjali (Mahima Chaudhary) and sister Aarti are leading a content life. Iqbal Pasina hates him initially, but starts respecting him later. The day he takes charge in Mumbai city, he destroys the unlawful business of Iqbal Pasina (Mukesh Rishi). All deceitful police officers, rogues, criminals and corrupt politicians are scared of him. Prithvi Raj Singh (Sanjay Dutt) is an honest and brave police officer. Time Movies' KURUKSHETRA, directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, is a story of war between evil and truth.
