Set in the turbulence of the 1930s British India, a 14 year old boy, Jhunku, and his journey to find where he belongs. For the first time in Indian history, the British army is defeated by a ragtag army of schoolboys and their teacher, Masterda. Called a traitor by his peers, and let down by a man he trusts, Jhunku impulsively joins the movement. As his world is turned upside down, Jhunku is forced to confront his self-doubts. As the leaders of the movement are progressively caught or killed, Jhunku battles against seemingly insurmountable odds to win a victory of his own. The film is an exciting action-drama, made more so by the fact that it is true.
Patiala House
Gurtej Singh Kahlon witnesses his family being attacked by British-born Caucasian skinheads, leading to a death in the family. While the identified attackers were never charged by racially biased police, he himself was arrested for defending his family. He swore to change the manner in which East Indians were profiled and set about to build a Mini-India in Southall. He encourages his son, Parghat, to play cricket as he himself was a fan of the Indian team. But the English cricket team forbids him. Then mixed-raced Simran Chaggal enters Parghat’s life and gets him to be included in a failing English team. They conspire to keep this information from Gurtej, and even re-name Parghat as ‘Kaali’. But Gurtej finds out and is hospitalized, refuses to have to do anything with his son, and even refers to him as ‘Angrez Chamcha’. Shameful of having hurt his father, and no one in the family to back him up, Parghat has no option but to publicly announce his ‘retirement’ from cricket.
