The movie recounts the visit of Brigadier Khetarpal, in 2001, to Lahore where he is hosted by Brigadier Nisar of the Pakistan Army. This is his attempt at making a war movie and the stories of the two Khetarpals is a prop. A Raghavan movie with not one song that stays with you, well here is a first. In India Ikkis, by a section of the media, was considered an antidote to Dhurandhar’s ‘jingoism’. Shri Raghavan if you want to make a war movie, don’t let your politics overshadow it.
