Plot:
The story is about a girl’s journey to becoming a Pilot in the footsteps of her father. But the only thing bugs up in the whole movie is Gender Discrimination. The other officers underestimate Gunjan because of her sexuality. Like not keeping a separate bathroom for woman and trying to put her down by arm wrestling in front of the other colleagues. There are so many felids that women are set back because of the mentality of the so-called Men. The movie is a perfect example wherein the officers learn discipline but yet forget their own bias decisions made under gender discrimination.
We also see that one of the official terms that they dont need her on Kargil War mission. However, Gunjan wins her place by fighting back for it. She promises her dad never to let him down and enters a war zone to save 900 troops. The movie is perfect for people who like to watch and learn real-life stories.
