Synopsis

Hathyar is a narrative which probes into the household of Raghunath (Sanjay Dutt), a dreaded gangster. His bereaved son Rohit (Sanjay Dutt) has to face a lot of flak from the outside world, repeatedly reminding him of the stigma attached to his family because of his father's past. Just like his father, circumstances force Rohit to become a gangster and he gets the name "Boxer Bhai". Rohit has weaknesses, he cannot stand any woman being called a prostitute, because his mother, Sonu (Namrata Shirodkar) was one, and he has fallen hard for a married woman, Gauri (Shilpa Shetty), who is enduring a marriage with a phsycially abusive spouse. Rohit snatches her out of this abusive relationship and remarries her and gives birth to a daughter named Shanti. But their married lives are shattered when Gauri's friend Jyoti (Resham Tipnis) reveal about Rohit's activities. Gauri, heartbroken, leaves Rohit and lives at her brother Munna's house. Rohit tries to contact her but all efforts are in vain. Munna persuades Gauri to go back to Rohit but sooner he is killed by Rohit after influenced by Pakya's (Sharad Kapoor) false story. Gauri, angered, cuts all ties with Rohit, lives in a small house nowhere. Rohit is attacked by Pakya and his men but miraculously survives.

It is then revealed that Rohit's godfather Digamber Patil (Gulshan Grover) had conspired with Fracture Nagya (Anup Soni) against him and gets double-crossed by his friend Pakya. A vengeful Rohit sets out to finish Digamber, Pakya and Fracture gang. First, Rohit brutally murders Digamber with a cricket bat and locates Pakya where he is in a guesthouse. Rohit eventually kills Fracture gang and Pakya pleads him, but Rohit who considered Pakya as his friend gets enraged by his bluff, kills him finally.

After the disastrous events, Rohit becomes the most wanted criminal and is issued "shoot at sight" orders by the Home Minister. DCP Kishore Kadam (Deepak Tijori) who is Rohit's guardian, has no other option but to kill him and obey the orders. Before surrendering to the police, Rohit asks for forgiveness to Gauri and says that he was not wrong. He requests Gauri to go away and whatever happens to him she would not turn back. Rohit commits suicide and the armed police force attacks Rohit. Rohit's grandmother Shanta (Reema Lagoo) advises Gauri to take Shanti far away so that she would not be affected by Raghu and Rohit's dark pasts. In the end both decide to leave the city.
