==Plot==
''Garv: Pride & Honour'' is a story of three brave and honest cops: Samar Singh ([[Amrish Puri]]), Arjun Ranawat ([[Salman Khan]]), and Hyder Ali Khan ([[Arbaaz Khan]]). The plot starts with court blaming Arjun for 18 killings at CM's Farmhouse. During 1984 riots, Arjun's parents were killed and then Shakuntla Devi ([[Farida Jalal]]) decided to adopt him. Samar wants to reduce the amount of crime in the state. The trio faces obstacles because the powerful and corrupt politicians including the Home Minister, Kashinath Trivedi ([[Govind Namdev]]), Badrinath Trivedi ([[Anant Jog]]) and Yashwant Deshpanday ([[Shivaji Satam]]) are connected with underworld don Zafar Supari ([[Mukesh Rishi]]).

The politicians decide to transfer Samar Singh while Arjun and Hyder kill Yeda (Zafar Supari's henchman) after they get into Arjun's house to warn Arjun's mother and sister by convincing Arjun to get not involved in Zafar Supari's criminal activities. Deshpande asks Kashinath Trivedi (Now Chief Minister of Maharashtra) to collect the file from Arjun he has made to prove that all of the corrupt politicians are involved with Zafar Supari.

The next day, Arjun comes with the file and Kashi burns it, surprisingly Arjun tells him that one copy has been sent to Central Home Ministry, second copy to President's office and third copy has already been sent to the Prime Minister's Office. Furious, Zafar Supari lands in Mumbai, with trapping Hyder and his colleagues in Old Jassai Railway Yard. He brings RDX with Hyder successfully destroying it, but is killed by Zafar. While burrying Hyder outside a mosque, Arjun receives a phone call from Zafar, unaware what he talked about. The present day starts at the court when Lawyer Tyagi ([[Anupam Kher]]) blames that Arjun's sister Rakhi (Akanksha Malhotra) was not at home on 1st of November and was making merry with all corrupt politicians and their men at CM's Farmhouse. He further says that she even had illegitimate relations with her wounded brother Arjun.

Samar then decides to introduce Rakhi tomorrow in Court, but gets to know that Arjun's killings have had a deep, mental affect on Rakhi and that she is currently being treated at Saint Mary's sanitarium. He goes there and Rakhi tells him the truth of what happened on 1st of November. In the court. at first Samar is reluctant to tell the truth, but surprisingly Rakhi herself comes and tells the truth. She tells that on the night of 1st of November, she was kidnapped by them and gang-raped by them. The court later finds politicians wrong and release Arjun and he joins back his duty as an honest police officer.

"I think Garv was ahead of its times. For Salman, the movie had set a benchmark in terms of action sequences, drama and emotion. If it would have been released today then it would have definitely done business of Rs 300 crore," -Puneet told PTI in an interview.<ref>[http://m.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/garv-would-have-created-history-at-box-office-puneet-issar/article1-767394.aspx Hindustan Times Comments on the Boxoffice Collections of Garv]</ref>
