Shahenshah depicts contemporary reality in the raw. With an adequate dose of every nuance in the emotional spectrum; sizzling song and dance numbers; the colour of outdoor romance; the naughty tug-of-war between brother and sister; the comic twists and interludes; the operative style of the underworld; the connivance of police in perpetuating crime; the political interferance for the have-nots; the glaring dividing live between want and luxury; the pride of honesty; and, above all, the blind eye of justice that lets criminals off when some clever lawyer twists it's arms - when evidence is tampered with, to frame an innocent, and let the guilty off the hook. Until a messiah emerges on the scene who is a self-appointed policeman; who makes his own rules, tries his own rules and takes on the underworld, and it's accomplices in the corridors of power.
