'Mastan' is a Bengali thriller movie released in 2004, directed by Rabi Kinagi. The movie featured Jeet, Swastika Mukherjee, Hara Patnaik and Mihir Das. It was an unofficial remake of 1999 Bollywood movie 'Jaanwar' featuring Akshay Kumar, Karishma Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty which was critically and commercially successful.
Plot
The film revolves around the life of Raju, a poor boy whose mother dies of starvation. He is taken under the fold by the local smuggler Bhanupratap. He grows up to become an antisocial and an associate of the smuggler. However, he decides to sever ties with the underworld after he falls in love with Mamata. But his past becomes a barrier as Mamata's father learns of their relationship. Ultimately Mamata is forced to marry Avinash, a CBI officer after her father suffers a heart attack. This transforms Raju into a ruthless criminal. Meanwhile, Avinash, the husband of Mamata, comes to town. He disrupts and puts a stop to Bhanupratap's smuggling business and he sends Raju to kill him. But Raju confronts Mamata who begs him to spare Avinash's life. Raju asks them to leave the city. The train Mamata was travelling in meets with an accident. They lose their child. Raju leaves the underworld (as he could not kill Avinash) and finds the child.
