COSTAO is the story of a brave man being tormented by the system. The year is 1991. Costao Fernandes (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is a brave Customs officer in Goa. He lives with his wife Mariya (Priya Bapat), son Chris (Abeer Jain) and daughter Marissa (Asmi Deo). For Costao, duty…&nbspcomes first and he has got a tip that 1500 kilos of gold belonging to a local politician and smuggler D’Mello (Kishore Kumar G), will land in Goa. Costao keeps an eye on the various beaches but to no avail. One day, an informer (Shravan Fondekar) informs Costao that the ship has landed and also divulges the name of the beach where the gold is being unloaded. Costao reaches the smuggling point and sees D’Mello’s brother Peter (Hussain Dalal) transporting the gold in his car. Costao chases Peter and asks him to stop the car. A fight ensues between the two and Costao accidentally kills Peter. The villagers are about to confront Costao and he opens the trunk of the car to prove that Peter was indeed smuggling gold. He contacts his senior, Naik (Rohhit Tiwari), about the demise and gold. Realizing that his life is in danger, Costao runs away. By the time Naik reaches the crime spot, the gold has vanished from the car. Thus, the media and the Goans are made to believe that Costao killed an innocent man and is on the run. A day later, Costao surrenders and the case goes to court. Sadly, victory seems remote as Costao has no way to prove that he was acting on a tip and that Peter died accidentally. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
