Pariah

An old lady, who runs a small restaurant, feeds some street dogs everyday with care. However, a promoter wants her and her dogs to leave the site for him to build the gate of his building. However, when she takes the help of an NGO, run by a lady named Sanghamitra, goes to the police, the old lady is murdered and the street dogs are taken away. A mysterious, reclusive but short - tempered man with no name, who silently works at a nearby factory, used to come everyday at the restaurant and feed a specific baby dog, gets violent seeing this incident. He, with the help of Kamalini, a NGO girl, decides to move around and find out the dog who goes missing from the site. As they move up the ladder, M. N. Sharma, an influential man, who, on one hand, participates in different dog-related healthy activities, and on other hand, tortures and sells off the "unhealthy" dogs, gets on the hitlist of the man. The man first kills off the promoter and then punishes a man who harasses his pet dog at home as well as harasses Kamalini. He moves on to a peddler and kills him after caging him in a dog's cage. He does all this after donning a dog's mask. Eventually, when he tries to kill off Sharma, he gets into the hands of the police and finally lands on the yard of the butcher, who had already kidnapped Kamalini. The butcher cuts off one hand of hers. Enraged, the protagonist kills the butcher and the other men at work.
