在这部托伦-肖汉动作/剧情/战争片中,士兵唐戈·恰利的日记里记载了几个故事：在东北密林里，与寻求独立的波多武装分子战斗；护送高官家人，途中遭遇毛派分子伏击；在古吉拉特的骚乱中，向示威人群开枪；在孟加拉红色恐怖期间，保卫地主家的婚礼；在克什米尔战场上，扼守雪山中的一座大桥。
作为战争片，这里有残酷血腥的战场重现，和激荡人心的英雄情怀；当然啦，也少不了浪漫老套的乡间爱情，和插科打诨的印式幽默；而最可贵的是，有真诚坦率的反思。
Indian Army Sepoy Tarun Chauhan is assigned to proceed to Northeastern part of India that has been rocked by riots and violence with orders to report to his superior, Havaldar Mohammed Ali. Once there, he comes to know that things can be quiet for weeks, following by sporadic violence, and casualties on both sides. His group also comes under attack by vicious terrorists, who like to cut an ear from a dead body, then leave the body as bait, in order to kill anyone who comes to the rescue. This is where Tarun makes his first kill. Then they are instructed to proceed to Bengal in order to counter Naxalities, where Tarun gets to see action almost immediately. Then war breaks out between India and Pakistan and their group is asked to travel to Kargil and guard a bridge. This is where Tarun will face his biggest challenge - a challenge that will make him a true soldier or lead him to his death.
