Ghayal is a series of Indian Hindi-language action crime films. All films are produced by Dharmendra under the production company Vijayta Films. The first film Ghayal (1990) was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and the second film Ghayal Once Again (2016) was directed by Sunny Deol who plays the main character of the films, Ajay Mehra.
Ajay is framed by Balwant Rai for his brother's murder and sent to prison. Later, he befriends three convicts and sets out to seek revenge against Balwant Rai.
Ajay Mehra (from previous Ghayal-1990), after finishing off his life sentence, starts a newspaper called Satyakam. Still dealing with the haunting trauma of losing his loved ones, Ajay manages to make a credible name for himself in investigative journalism. Working with a strange team of RTI activists, ex-criminals and ilk; and even stranger ways of unearthing and presenting truth, Ajay Mehra has earned quite a fan following among the youths, who finds his fearless and unforgiving approach in dealing with all kinds of sociopaths very inspiring.
