What happens

Jaago (transl. Wake Up) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language crime thriller film directed by Mehul Kumar. It stars Sanjay Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Manoj Bajpayee and Hansika Motwani. The film is based on a true incident from August 2002, in which a mentally challenged 10-year-old girl was raped on her local commuting train. The plot deals with the rape and death of a ten-year-old schoolgirl and the dramatic quest for justice by a lone but determined police inspector. The film was a box-office failure.
