1971: Beyond Borders (2017)
The movie kicks off by introducing Colonel Mahadevan and his Indian troupe saving a set of Pakistani soldiers during a UN mission. That’s where the backstory of the movie comes into focus as Mahadevan saved the son of the head of a Pakistani force who was killed by his dad Sahadevan. However, there is no animosity between the soldiers – as for them, just like the recurrent theme of the movie suggest, humanity supersedes war and they are aware that war, no matter how needless it is, will take casualties.
The film focuses on three decorated officers – Major Mahadevan, Lieutenant Chinmay (Allu Sirish) and Lieutenant Raja (Arunoday Singh) from the Pakistani Army. The director dedicates the first half to showing the lives of the soldiers outside the war front – when they are with their families. Also, even when they are on the battlefront, how their thoughts are always with their loved ones.
