Serendipitously, Prakash foils a few operations of Salim, and soon there are cracks in the vast, well-oiled machinery of the gangsters. The vengeful Don now wants Prakash dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A conflict that seems one-sided begins to even out as a motley crew that includes Shelley, Prakash’s college crush; Kabir, an upright and adventurous police officer; and a few of Prakash’s lieutenants rally behind Prakash. Salim’s actress girlfriend, Shabnam, infatuated by Prakash’s ideals, also breaks rank. They form the ‘Howling Hounds’, hunting Salim’s operatives in India. Salim expected a conventional retaliation from them, but the fun-loving friends opted to break the rules, bureaucratic procedures and ideals to spring a surprising trap on Salim.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupa Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45675075764375,"sku":"9789355205148","price":257.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789355205148.webp?v=1769295501","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hour-of-the-hounds-9789355205148","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
