Synopsis
Hathyar is a narrative which probes into the household of Raghunath (Sanjay Dutt), a dreaded gangster. His bereaved son Rohit (Sanjay Dutt) has to face a lot of flak from the outside world, repeatedly reminding him of the stigma attached to his family because of his father's past. Just like his father, circumstances force Rohit to become a gangster and he gets the name Boxer Bhai. Rohit has weaknesses, he cannot stand any woman being called a prostitute, because his mom, Sonu (Namrata Shirodkar) was one, and he has fallen hard for a married woman, Gauri (Shilpa Shetty), who is enduring a marriage with a phsycially abusive spouse. Rohit snatches her out of this abusive relationshisp and remarries her. But Rohit's problems are far from over. There is a change in the political scenario and Rohit does not find support from any godfather. He is ordered to be arrested - dead or alive. As he is about to be killed in the encounter he goes to Gauri and begs for forgiveness and explains that the circumstances that drove him to crime world were because of his father's past. He tells Gauri to go far from the city for the sake of their daughter shanti so that his and his father's past doesn't spoil her life. As Gauri leaves she sees their house is surrounded by police, she hears a gunshot implying Rohit committed suicide and police start shooting the house. In the end Gauri and Rohit's Grandmother Shanta (Reema Lagoo) decide to leave the city.
