Synopsis
Ghaath is a story told through elements of land, water, jungle corresponding them with three characters - an undercover maoist trying to track down a police officer, who is responsible for the death of his brother; a cop trying to secure the surrender of a maoist guerrilla with the help of an aborigine; and a maoist besotted by a tribal woman, while on the run from the maoist cadre. As these characters face-off in jungle, we uncover many truths about the characters, their psyche and the system.Details of Cast
