'Satya Bol' is a hard-hitting cop film. The action scenes are good and this film will surely work well in the B & C centers. There is also an item number by Perizaad Zorabian to increase its mass appeal.

The film is about a cop's life, debutant Manish Singh, - his initiation into the police force and his transition from a meek, soft-hearted cop into a toughie. He gets married to a girl (Tina Parakh) of his mother's choice. All's well until she detects the change in her husband. The last straw is when she sees him beating up a criminal in a ruthless manner on the pavement. That's when she decides to walk out on him despite her pregnancy.

To trace our cop's story from the beginning, he starts by wanting to be the honest cop who does not accept any form of bribe. Circumstances force him to fall in to the temptation. The transition is gradual and mercifully there are no guilt pang shown unlike in other cop films. He is constantly ridiculed by his senior, Sayaji Shinde, for his meek nature.

One night in a drunken state he manages to convince the senior that he can extract information from a guy (an innocent guy really but who is mistaken by his senior to be a dreaded underworld guy' assistant) in the lockup. In a fit of rage, he kills the man. To cover up for it, the cops fake an encounter. However, Manish cannot get over his guilt of having killed the wrong person. His first brush with a gun toughens him up and he has no qualms in bashing up people henceforth.
