Plot

The story is set 6 years post 1971 Indo-Pak war, that culminated in the creation of Bangladesh. Despite winning the war, a large number of Indian Defence personnel have found themselves held captive in various jails in Pakistan and are faced with the fact that the Pakistani government denies their existence. International pressure has forced the Pakistani government to make changes in the way they treat the prisoners. In a very calculated move, the Pakistani army is ordered to assemble all the Indian prisoners of war in various Pakistani jails and transfer them to a secret location somewhere in the mountainous terrain of Pakistan. In the light of these events, Major Suraj Singh (Manoj Bajpyaee) along with Captain Jacob (Ravi Kishan), Captain Kabir(Kumud Mishra), Ft. Lt. Ram and Gurtu (Manav Kaul and Deepak Dobriyal) and Subedar Ahmad (Chittaranjan Giri) decide to escape the Pakistani POW establishment, in a daring attempt to reach India.
