1971
The story is set six years after the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Despite winning the war, several Indian defence personnel find themselves held captive in various jails in Pakistan, faced with the fact that Pakistan government was denying their very existence.
Meanwhile international pressure forces Pakistan government to make changes in the way they treat these prisoners. In a calculated move, the Pakistani army is ordered to assemble all Indian POWs from various jails and transfer them to a secret location somewhere in the mountainous terrain of the country. Some of the captive POWs suspect a foul play in this new found change of heart that the Pakistanis seemed to have undergone. When they investigate the matter they make a startling discovery, one that galvanizes them to take a drastic measure to ensure the well being of the Indian POWs. They chalk out the most daring escape from the POW camp.
What ensues is a gut-wrenching chase, across the unyielding terrain, where these men brave inhuman weather conditions and the constant threat of the Pakistani officials on the hunt for the stray POWs.
The film is directed by Amrit Sagar and Manoj Bajpai is in the main lead.
