Shararat (2002 film)

Shararat (transl. Mischief) is a 2002 Hindi-language comedy drama film directed by debutant Gurudev Bhalla, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Hrishitaa Bhatt and Amrish Puri.^[1] The film was released on 12 July 2002.^[2]

Rahul Khanna (Abhishek Bachchan) is the only son of wealthy industrialists, who have no time for their son. On the other hand, Rahul has nothing but time on his hands and is hell-bent on getting into trouble with the law, such as racing cars with his friends. He gets away with it most of the time by bribing the officer until eventually, his luck runs out one day while stuck in traffic, and in a hurry to reach the airport for his flight to America, he meddles with the traffic lights, turning them all green and causing several vehicles to crash. This time the offence is too serious and unable to bribe the officer, he is arrested. DCP Bhosle (Om Puri) wants to teach Rahul a lesson but can't think of a way other than making him do time in jail. Neha Sengupta (Hrishitaa Bhatt), inspired by a Bill Clinton newspaper article, comes up with a unique punishment idea for Rahul: community service. The judge likes this idea and sentences a remorseless Rahul to a senior citizen's home out in the country. Sparks fly when Rahul meets the old residents of the senior citizens' home, as they do not get along very well.
