Set against the backdrop of 1971 Indo-Pak war, the movie is inspired by real incidents and the protagonists are inspired by Param Vir Chakra recipients. The movie shows what consequences of war are on the lives of soldiers on either side of the border.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on real Param Vir Chakra recipients, but the dual-brother narrative is pure cinematic invention—no soldier had a twin officer across the border.
Mohanlal filmed both brothers' scenes separately over months, never interacting with himself on set—a technical headache for a 2017 Malayalam production.
