The remaining dacoits succumb to infighting as they become divided over saving a woman and a battered, wounded girl child who is in dire need of medical care. Set in the period of Emergency, Sonchiriya chronicles the journey of a gang of dacoits, or rebels, as they like to call themselves, led by Maan Singh (played by Manoj Bajpai), and their disintegration as they become prey to an ambush by the policemen during a loot. Abhishek Chaubey's Sonchiriya makes the non-existent baggage so heavier that it becomes a debt on the shoulders of those men, a debt that haunts them for life. The recklessness of men engaging in a battle can only lead to deaths that come with no baggage. One of the most careless thoughts that are carried throughout our mainstream cinema is that the act of killing is rarely followed by a consequence.
