Satya (directed by Ram Gopal Verma) is the story of a man who comes to Bombay to make a living. A series of incidents puts him in jail where he meets and becomes close to a gangster, Bhiku Mhatre. Once out of prison, Bhiku initiates him into the gang and gives him a place to live. Opposite this apartment, Vidya, a struggling singer, lives with her aged parents. A relationship between Satya and Vidya develops alongside his rise in the underworld. Of the latter fact however, Vidya is completely unaware. As his love for Vidya grows in intensity, so does the need to conceal his identity from her, until he finds himself living a lie. The tension of living a double - life trapped between underworld gang wars and his desperate fear for Vidya's safety jeopardized by his proximity to her-makes him want to get out of this life of crime. Satya is the story of truth as it is perceived by different eyes, where only shadow lines demarcate the good actions from the bad...and only the happiness and pain that follow are a reality.
