Plot
Set in contemporary Singapore, Gurushetram - 24 Hours of Anger, is a sinuously provocative, edge-of-your-seat thriller about Prakash who is brought up in a particular segment of the working-class Indian society lined with the wreckage of broken families and dreams. Prakash, a 17-year-old, losing his family, seeks shelter with his uncle Vinod, the head of a drug ring, with his mentally challenged younger brother. Vinod gets the boys involved in his criminal activity and soon makes them an integral part of his operation. Unbeknownst to Vinod, an adamant narcotics police superintendent is hot on their heels after receiving a string of tips offs from an anonymous informant. Vinod's long running smooth operation begins to hit snags; the police are suddenly able to disrupt his operations and make arrests. Vinod rightly believes that there is an informant within his gang, and after a while figures out who he is. The informant wants revenge; he holds Vinod responsible for the destruction of his family and wants to see Vinod destroyed.
An earnest social counselor tries to reach out to Prakash and his brother but meets resistance from those within and outside the law. Both the law enforcers and Vinod want a piece of Prakash and his defenseless sibling in a world fraught with peril, double-crossings and deceits. Prakash has no choice but play his final card to salvage the situation and protect his brother once and for all to make it fair-and-square.
