Synopsis
The film depicts the struggle in the erstwhile Hyderabad State after India gained independence on August 15, 1947. While the rest of the country celebrated freedom and liberation, the British Hyderabad State remained under the control of the Nizam for another year. During this time, Hindus faced oppression from the ruthless Razakars. Razakars who were formed primarily to oppose the Hindu majority’s wish of accession to India, and to keep Nizam under Muslim control. The film depicts the atrocities committed by the Nizam and Razakars with extreme fanaticism and the courageous acts of the heroes who fought against them.[7]
