''The Hangman'', starring internationally acclaimed actor [[Om Puri]] (East is East, Jewel in the Crown, City of Joy and Gandhi), is a story about one man's quest to attain redemption. Puri, who gives a compelling performance as the aged and tired executioner Shiva, has been forced into his forefathers' profession.<br />
<br />
Shiva's overwhelming desire is to create a better life for his son Ganesh ([[Shreyas Talpade]]). Shiva seeks help from his friend, the prison jailor ([[Gulshan Grover]]). Ganesh is taken to the city under the jailor's guardianship where he pursues his father's ultimate dream of becoming a police officer. But a series of ill-fated events result in a startling tragedy.<br />
<br />
Based in a culture full of ancient customs and traditions, this bittersweet tale follows Shiva as he struggles between the mandates of his profession and his desire to achieve salvation and happiness.<br />
