Even after so many years of independence, are we still free of prejudice and biases? Do we give everyone a free chance in our society? Or do we pronounce someone guilty before he has gone on trial?
It’s story of a man a soldier who is charged with a crime against the very institution he serves. The story of a man who will go to trial having already been pronounced guilty! But who will defend him? Having seen the forces from close quarters, I felt that the defense had to come from within - from another man who holds the virtues of the armed forces in high esteem and will fight for them. From a man who will have the courage to stand up and say, 'if it's right…it's right, damn the consequences'. And thus, was born
Shaurya. The story of courage… The story of every character who defines Shaurya for themselves and lives their life wanting to just be right...
