What happens

Hindustan Ki Kasam (English: Oath in name of Hindustan) is a 1973 Indian war film directed by Chetan Anand. It is based on Operation Cactus Lilly in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Anand had previously made the popular war film Haqeeqat (1964) on the Sino-Indian War, though Hindustan Ki Kasam didn't perform well commercially. The film is different from other war films in Indian cinema as it vividly describes the Indian Air Force's role in the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War in the western sector. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
