Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
印度人社会发展程度前现代，但文化跟随还是挺敏感，学会和美国人一样拍政治正确电影了。
高水平快手正能量大电影哈哈。主角自始至终帅气高大上圣人人设略烦，好在有趣的是片子把人物弧光给了一个督察，对主角来说有了个由敌变友，对手惺惺相惜的过程，观感zer一下就上来了。其他的些许套路，反派没有强和坏，只有蠢，这点上不如一些同类型的韩片做的压迫感强和观感好。整体还是成熟好看的，受用
根据真实事件改编。但是说教意味比较浓，也在主动去上升观点，导致我个人内心并没有燃起来，反而有点儿排斥。内容充实，2h44min基本没有水分（感觉这部印度电影已经很克制，只是放了歌而没有跳起舞了）。有时候看着看着就在想这算是杰伊·比姆的个人英雄主义电影还是要宣扬人权，虽然杰伊一直强调他是人不是神，但总有种他在装逼的感觉，于是这句话反而把他变得更神。虽然不知道现在印度的社会是怎么样的状态，但我想这部电影带给社会的意义应该大于电影本身吧。不过其实，这起案件中还有开明的法官和正义的调查员警官，还算值得庆幸的了。
普法啊！“为了民主，我们必须是极权主义者”，印度很布尔什维克啊。
看的不知道是不是对的版本，感觉音画不同步，观感不是特好。男主出场的bgm太出戏了，4.5吧
我想多数人的高分不是打给电影本身，而是羡慕他国的电影不必戴着镣铐舞蹈。
与政府对抗，这是一条多么艰难的路。
技术层面太多初级的电影手段了，在严肃和嬉闹之间来回横跳，为了主题的深刻性多给一星。
印度版《辩护人》，愿这世上终有公平正义，善恶自有所报。在人物刻画上，个人还是觉得韩国人更胜一筹
“没有追求的生活能存在吗？”
用了巨大的篇幅来做背景铺垫，然后抽丝剥茧，层层推进，稳扎稳打。质量是上乘的，但头确实也是疼的，印度也可以做好的剧情片，但配乐可以不放就还是不要了。还有哭戏，头疼。。
苦难，会降临在这个世界的每一个角落，有的就此埋没，有的，因为一些人的努力，让世界变得美好一点。电影里的部落，电影里百折不挠的律师和老师，电影里那些哭泣与叙述，都让我们更加的深刻认识到不一样的世界，不一样的角落。
Shame on you! 说谎话跟放屁一样，一脸正义凛然！TA们如果买通了整条证据链上的所有人和物，结果又是怎样。闭嘴，不然就杀了你！TA们在警！面前，只有低头，求饶，哪怕这样，TA们依然没有逃脱悲惨的命运，谁在乎TA是死是活！天生贱种，就因为低种姓，所以杀人放火抢劫偷窃全都是TA们的锅！永远迟到的正义！永远为下一个受害者行动，永不放弃！永远为这颗海星星努力拯救！法院给的不仅仅是判决，而是希望！愿世上多一个这样的律师，正义伸张的那一晚，我睡得无比香甜！我如何为我没有做过的事情认罪！我没有！没有！没有！当孩子问我这笔钱怎么来的，是打死你爸爸的人给的，我不可能这样活着！
女主角和其他的村民第一次进富丽堂皇的法庭的时候，他们睁大眼睛四处看的样子真实得让人心疼。作为一部电影我想给它五星，可是看到现实里的女主原型25年来依然住在那栋破屋里我就下不去手了。豆瓣的印度高分电影结局总是美得像童话，可是有现实做比对的时候，这份美丽很伤人。
幸好最高法有良心，社会意义大于影片本身质量，但是人家敢拍能拍呀！
这部里描写的警察看起来智商低，我想之所以他们做事不严谨，应该是认为没人会为犯人出头，被发现的可能性很小，有恃无恐吧。
你发表的关于《Jai Bhim》的短评，因为 涉及时政或意识形态等信息，已被移除。
有的人就是为了公平正义而生的。
本身是部好电影，但为什么我不爱看印度电影，总是用一些低级的手法，比如出场正面人物的慢动作再加上走路自带BGM的镜头让我十分不感冒。
类似《辩护人》《熔炉》的作品，这类故事看的太多，现已触动不了我，羡慕印度那边的创作环境
