Garv: Pride and Honour (Hindi: गर्व, English: Pride) is a 2004 Indian action film directed by Puneet Issar. The film stars Salman Khan, Shilpa Shetty and Amrish Puri.
The film was initially titled Sanghar .
Garv is a story of three brave and honest cops: Samar Singh (Amrish Puri), Arjun Ranawat (Salman Khan) and Hyder Ali Khan (Arbaaz Khan). Samar wants to reduce the amount of crime in the state. The trio faces obstacles because the powerful and corrupt politicians (played by Govind Namdeo, Anant Jog and Shivaji Satam) are connected with underworld don Zafar Supari (Mukesh Rishi). The politicians decide to transfer Samar Singh while Hyder Ali is named a traitor and is killed. The goons next target Arjun by gang-raping his sister, Rakhi (Akanksha) and hurting his other family members. Arjun, in a fit of anger, kills the rapists and surrenders himself to his police colleagues. He is seen walking up the steps with police in the opening scenes of the movie. He wants to be awarded capital punishment but later the court finds the politicians wrong and lets Arjun go free.
According to Box office India, Garv had an "Very Good opening" and collected₹220 million (US$3.3 million) during its opening weekend in India. By the end of its first week, the film collected ₹250 million (US$3.7 million) After three weeks, the film grossed ₹750 million (US$11 million) in India.
"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 200 crore," -Puneet told PTI in an interview.
So, the film is yet admired and loved and asserted that the film was actually more deserving than what it supposed to be.
