+A love story set amid the Quit India agitations
+during WW2. In the Himalayan foothills, the
+blundering, apolitical Naren (Kapoor) falls in
+love with the local girl Rajjo (Koirala). Since his
+father (Singh) is committed to colonial rule,
+while her father is a revolutionary terrorist,
+their love affair leads to the exposure of a
+terrorist plot to assassinate the evil British
+General Douglas (Glover), modelled on
+popular versions of General Dyer of the
+Jallianwala Bagh tragedy. Eventually, Naren
+joins the terrorists led by Shubhankar (Shroff)
+and, in a long drawn-out climax, achieves the
+deed and leads a popular revolt against the
+colonial power. The film, with at times
+remarkable camerawork revealing its New
+Indian Cinema antecedents, contributes to
+the major 90s revival of ‘nationalist’ themes,
+recalling the values of the Independence
+struggle (cf. Mani Rathnam’s work), even
+enjoining the audience to stand up for the
+national anthem which closes the performance.
+Its enormously successful music was released
+after the death of the composer Burman.
