[edit] Plot
Maj. Siddhant Chaudhary (Rahul Bose) and Maj. Akash Kapoor (Javed Jaffrey) are lawyers in the Indian army and are close friends. They are on opposite sides of a case where a soldier kills his commanding officer. The accused is mysteriously silent and not willing to talk about the incident. Siddhant, who is the defense counsel, is apathetic at first but starts taking a keen interest in the case after meeting Kavya (Minissha Lamba), a journalist who demonstrates that the case is not as simple as it seems. The underlying theme in the movie is Siddhant's gradual understanding of what Shaurya means (his father was himself a decorated army veteran), and the resulting conflict with Brigadier Rudra Pratap Singh (Kay Kay Menon)
[edit] Reception
The film was criticized for its simplistic handling of communal and security issues.[1][2] However, most critics praised the performances of the lead actors, in particular Deepak Dobriyal and Kay Kay Menon, and acknowledged the film's noble intentions.[1][3] The film did average business at the box-office.[4]
