The film is set in the backdrop of India in the 1970s, during the Emergency period, and revolves around a high-stakes heist.

### Plot:

Set in 1975 during the Indian Emergency (when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency), the story follows a group of individuals who are forced to work together to steal a treasure-laden truck from a heavily-guarded convoy. The treasure is a large sum of gold bars, stolen from a royal family’s vault, and being transported by the government. 

**Maharani Gitanjali (Ileana D'Cruz)**, the royal family’s princess, seeks the help of **Bhavani (Ajay Devgn)**, a tough and skilled fighter, to recover the gold. Together, they form a group of criminals and mercenaries, including **Daliya (Emraan Hashmi)**, a smooth-talking thief, **Seher (Vidyut Jammwal)**, an expert in combat and strategy, and **Monica (Esha Gupta)**, a woman with a hidden agenda.

As the gang embarks on a daring and dangerous mission to retrieve the gold, they face numerous challenges, including betrayal, gunfights, and the looming threat of being caught by the authorities. The film is packed with action, twists, and suspense, as the group must navigate through betrayal and violence while attempting to pull off the perfect heist.

### Key Highlights:

- **Ajay Devgn** plays **Bhavani**, a fearless and sharp-witted character who takes the lead in the mission. His action sequences and tough persona are a major highlight of the film.

- **Emraan Hashmi** plays **Daliya**, a charming and cynical thief who brings humor and a bit of levity to the otherwise intense film.

- **Ileana D'Cruz** portrays **Maharani Gitanjali**, a strong-willed royal with a deep desire to recover her family’s wealth, even if it means resorting to criminal methods.

- **Vidyut Jammwal** plays **Seher**, a highly skilled fighter with a mysterious past. His action scenes, including hand-to-hand combat and stunts, are some of the best in the film.

- **Esha Gupta** plays **Monica**, a woman who is not just a part of the heist but has her own secrets and motives.

  

### Themes:

- **Betrayal and Loyalty**: The film explores themes of trust and betrayal, especially within a criminal group where not everyone is who they appear to be.

- **Greed and Power**: The movie looks at how greed for money and power drives people to take extreme measures and makes them question their morals.

- **Action and Thrills**: Packed with high-octane action, car chases, shootouts, and explosive moments, *Baadshaho* is an action lover's delight.

### Reception:

*Baadshaho* received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. The action sequences, strong performances (especially by Ajay Devgn and Vidyut Jammwal), and retro 1970s setting were praised. However, some critics felt that the film's plot was predictable and lacked depth, especially in character development. Despite the mixed reviews, the film was a commercial success at the box office.

The film is often compared to heist films like *Ocean's Eleven*, though set in a more Indian context with its own set of unique challenges.

### Where to Watch:

*Baadshaho* is available for streaming on various platforms like **Amazon Prime Video**, **YouTube**, and other online rental services. You can also find the full movie on **T-Series**' official YouTube channel.
