DOUBLE AGENT
(Informer/Kabari)

Double Agent is an action film conceived in the luxuriant and rich Mumbai identity. It is the story of the ‘survival of the fittest’, highlighted by defense, revenge, love and sacrifice. It explores the evils of human trafficking, drug mafia and rivalries accompanied by the frightening underworld violence and blood shed.

Surya is groomed in the twilight world of Mumbai nightclubs and boxing rings. He is tall, strong and handsome much against the known hereditary racial traits. He leads a very humble life within the ‘territory’ of a Sait, who finances for movies and soap operas. He serves him as an assistant and as a hit-man. But he quits his job after a heated dialogue with the Sait over his profane and greedy actions, and determines to try his luck in the boxing rings and racing fields. He meets Adina, a beautiful strip teaser in a nightclub who develops a soft corner towards him. But his career in the rings did not bring him the expected success due to the frequent encounters with the Sait who happens to be the patron of these joints. He abandons the rings and racing fields and thinks of searching out something better, though it may go against the wish of Adina.

And forsaking his peaceful past and finding no other choice he lands up in a job as an agent of an underworld don. Gradually he becomes very powerful and secretly takes the task of other two main rival gangs. The police are watchful and step in to track him to a trap. They allure him and compel him to become their informer to collect the details of the gangster moves. This they do by putting Adina in a tactfully framed case, and to rescue her means his acceptance of their troublesome proposal. In order to save his girl from ruin, he accepts their proposal and begins to act as their informer. In due course, he puts these rivals in a professional equilibrium, and keeps himself immune to any suspicion.
Initially it seemed very interesting and challenging to him because what he conveyed determined the destiny of the police, and the rival gangs. He handles these ‘evils’ and the dealings very skillfully for quite some time, thanks to his quick wit and muscle speed. But the situations change abruptly making it impossible for him to manage his doings amidst the alarming violence and blood shed that ensue after his conveying information to each end. The first don with whom he was working comes to know of his discreet double dealings and becomes enraged. The don takes to vow that he will destroy Surya at any cost. He is torn between these extremes and to his dismay learns that he will be annihilated soon, whether he obeys or resists them. To make matters worse Adina is kidnapped and his efforts to find her become fruitless. And whatever he does starts turning against him and he finds that to escape from these adversities is very remote. Nevertheless, he has to find a way out of this, and so he determines to fight with all his might for his dear life and his dear love….
