Overview

Second Lieutenant and India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, Arun Khetarpal, gave his life fighting for his battalion and the country during the 1971 Battle of Basantar. Ikkis also takes a reflective look at the futility of war through the eyes of Khetarpal's father, who visits his ancestral home in Sargodha and Alma Mater for reunion, which now happens to be in post-partition Pakistan, 30 years later.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A haunting dual-timeline portrait of heroism and its human cost, moving between a young soldier's final acts of valor and an aging father's bittersweet return to a homeland divided by partition and tragedy. Ikkis meditates on what it means to lose someone to war and the echoes of that loss across decades.
