Legal 007

A central minister is alleged to have taken kickbacks to the tune of several billion US$ from a French arms manufacturer in return for the grant of the biggest defence contract in independent India's history. Mystery shrouds the assassination of Army General Manjunath around the same time. Yashwant Gaikwad is the youngest designated senior advocate, famously known in the Bombay High Court Bar as Legal 007 for his legal acumen and presence of mind with which he resolves legal matters. Yashwant finds himself entangled in this scam when he takes the brief of the alleged corrupt central minister. Not knowing whether he is on the right side, the clock is ticking for Yashwant. The nation is gearing up for the next Parliamentary Elections and Yashwant has to unravel this mother of all scams before that to expose the perpetrators. Putting his and his family's life on the line, with danger lurking at every step, Yashwant sets out on a mission. He can only trust three people in this mission, Latika a journalist, his mentor Justice Harshwardhan Dubey a retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India, and Mubeen Mian a dreaded underworld don.
