Synopsis

The movie is different from other war movies in Indian cinema as it vividly describes the IAF's role in 1971 Indo Pak war in the western sector. It has got great aerial dogfights sequence.

The film starts with an air raid by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on an Indian Air Force (IAF) airbase in the western sector. After the raid a pilot (Raj Kumar) takes an oath while standing near the body of a dead airman - "Badla hum lenge, is jawan ki kasam, Hindustan Ki Kasam" (we will take revenge, we take oath of this soldier, we take an oath of India). The credits start while the title song of the movie is played in the background (sung by the Mohammed Rafi and Manna Dey).

The movie revolves around the IAF's mission of destroying a PAF radar which blocks IAF pilots radios in combat. Indian intelligence plant Tahira (Priya Rajvansh), who is the fiancee of a PAF pilot (Amjad Khan). Tahira goes to Pakistan and starts working as a singer on Pakistan TV (PTV) studio (where the radar which jams the radio frequency of IAF jets is also kept). Tahira informs the IAF about the jammer. IAF asks her to leave the building in the night after her programme is done so that they can raid the building.

PAF's counter intelligence comes to know about her and they zero in on her on that very night. As soon her programme is finished the IAF air raids the studio while she is still inside. In the dogfight with Pak sabers Raj Kumar's jet is destroyed and he crashes. He radios for help and the IAF fighters destroy the pursuing Pakistan soldiers and their vehicles. The pilot and Tahira are evacuated. The movie ends with IAF's flypast on the republic day parade in New Delhi, with the title song in the background.
