Short description
After a group of friends graduate from Delhi University, they listlessly haunt their old campus, until a British filmmaker casts them in a film she's making about freedom fighters under British rule. Although the group is largely apolitical, the tragic death of a friend owing to local government corruption awakens their patriotism. Inspired by the freedom fighters they represent in the film, the friends collectively decide to avenge the killing.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the eponymous poem by Dushyant Kumar.
- Rakhesh Mehra needed seven years to study and create the story, including three years to write the screenplay.
- The film suffered a significant setback when one of the original producers ultimately failed to contribute any funds; the shortfall put the project in jeopardy two months before principal photography began. However, after Aamir Khan agreed to star, Mehra turned to Ronnie Screwvala of UTV Motion Pictures.
- Aamir Khan agreed to act in the film immediately after reading the script. He lost 10 kilograms for the filming.
- The film was shot in New Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan, and Punjab.
