Line of Descent 2019

In the vibrant and bustling streets of Delhi, India, the Sinha mafia family comes together to celebrate the birthday of their newest member, Nya. Amidst the lively festivities, Suraj Sinha, the youngest brother, dreams of escaping the confines of his family’s criminal legacy in order to pursue a normal life with his beloved, Seema. However, as fate would have it, the celebration takes an unexpected turn when a rowdy group of youngsters targets Seema, prompting Suraj to leap into action to defend her honor.

As tensions brew within the family, Prithvi Sinha, the newly instated leader following Bharat Sinha’s succession, assumes control of the family’s operations. Unbeknownst to Prithvi, Suraj’s hasty display of gunfire results in an accidental shooting that injures a bystander, escalating the conflict. Officer Raghav, determined to untangle the Sinha family’s web of criminal activities, consults with Deputy Commissioner Daniel Bates, scrutinizing Bharat Sinha’s notorious involvement in real estate piracy.

A haunting flashback reveals the origin of Bharat’s descent into crime: the tragic loss of his twin brother, Prithvi, who suffered due to a lack of funds for crucial medical treatment after an accident. Overwhelmed by grief and remorse, Bharat sold his flourishing restaurant to finance his brother’s care, but when the money never arrived, tragedy struck, and Prithvi passed away. This pivotal incident led Bharat to forge an alliance with the British gangster, Morris Burns, thereby establishing his criminal enterprise.

Now, as Bharat’s dark legacy casts a long shadow over the Sinha family, Prithvi’s younger brother, Siddharth Sinha, seeks to take advantage of the ensuing chaos, weaving a web of deception that threatens to engulf them all. Caught in this turmoil, Suraj reaches out to Charu, an undercover officer ingrained in Raghav’s investigation, hoping to find a way through the escalating conflict.

Days pass after the chaotic events, and Raghav visits Suraj in his cell. With Suraj’s mother having left for the United Arab Emirates, Raghav bears significant news: he has played a vital role in dismantling the Sinha empire’s reign of terror in Delhi, and is in discussions with legal counsel to reduce Suraj’s potential sentence.

As Raghav unfolds the story of Siddharth’s betrayal and the harrowing discovery of Prithvi’s lifeless body near a witness’s home, he reveals that Sidd had hired a lethal marksman to take out Seema, but Raghav’s timely intervention forced Sidd to confess his guilt.

In a shocking twist, Raghav discloses that Prithvi had been secretly looking out for Suraj by orchestrating a covert meeting between them. Following Prithvi’s tragic passing, Charu had set a trap that ensnared both Sidd and Suraj, igniting a series of dramatic consequences.

Raghav delivers yet another catastrophic revelation: Nya is not Siddharh’s child, but rather Prithvi’s daughter. Overwhelmed with anguish, Suraj’s sister-in-law collapses under the weight of this truth and is subsequently committed to a psychiatric ward. With the family dynamics increasingly fraught, Nya finds herself in the care of her sibling.

As the credits roll on this gripping saga, Raghav presents Suraj with a bold offer: given his own struggles with fertility, he proposes that Suraj welcome Nya into his family, allowing both of them a fresh start and the opportunity to create a new legacy. Suraj, embracing this moment of hope and renewal, agrees, ending the film on an uplifting note filled with promise for the future.
