Abstract:

Set against the historical backdrop of the "Quit India Movement" during India's struggle for independence, this romantic story portrays the martyrdom of freedom fighters and the sacrifices that common folk as well as the elite were willing to make in the national cause. The turbulence of August 1942 was remarkable for the violence meted out by the British to curb the momentum the independence movement had gained. With Anil Kapoor, Manisha Koirala, Jackie Shroff, Anupam Kher, and Raghubir Yadav. Music by Rahul Dev Burman.
