The film is a war-romance set in pre-dependent India. As is known, there were differing strands in the movement. Mahatma Gandhi adopted ahimsa to get freedom; Subhash Chandra Bose was the force behind the Indian National Army that got on the front foot to the enemy out. Even as this strife played out, Julia, the daredevil actress of the 40’s ruled hearts. Closer home, her married producer Russi Billimoria is besotted with her and at the border, Jamadar Nawab Malik loves her to death.
