Hour of the Hounds by Roopam Kapoor
In the early 1990s, when the underworld dominated every sphere of life, Prakash, a rookie customs officer, gets transferred to Dapoli, a remote station on the west coast of India.Inexperienced Prakash is soon pitted against the ruthless organization of Salim, an underworld don and smuggler operating from Dubai. Serendipitously, Prakash foils a few operations of Salim, and soon there are cracks in the vast, well-oiled machinery of the gangsters. The vengeful Don now wants Prakash dead.A conflict that seems one-sided begins to even out as a motley crew that includes Shelley, Prakash' s college crush; Kabir, an upright and adventurous police officer; and a few of Prakash' s lieutenants rally behind Prakash. Salim' s actress girlfriend, Shabnam, infatuated by Prakash' s ideals, also breaks rank. They form the ' Howling Hounds' , hunting Salim' s operatives in India. Salim expected a conventional retaliation from them, but the fun-loving friends opted to break the rules, bureaucratic procedures and ideals to spring a surprising trap on Salim.| SKU | Unavailable |
