Storyline

Balli Chaudhary is a mobster, whose gang rapes, murders, robs and terrorises 300 families without any fear of law, for a period of 15 years. He takes special interest in using the rape threat to break and humiliate the Dalit community. He allegedly rapes over 40 women and children, gets arrested 14 times but is never sentenced, therefore he has no fear of law and randomly picks up any woman he fancies - irrespective of their age. The police refuse to help the Dalits and go on to sell out the complainants to Balli. His reign of terror continues till he meets his nemesis in a young and educated Dalit girl - Usha Narayane. She files and FIR against Balli, and when cornered by him and his gang, threatens to burn them down. This inspires the villagers to revolt against Balli and file 40 FIRs, however when all their hopes of getting justice vanish, the women of the basti decide to take matters into their own hands and make a fitting example out of Balli. The story of 200: Halla Ho, is loosely based on a real-life incident from Nagpur.
