The film banks upon the patriotic sentiments based on a nationalistic theme. Talking about the wave of films in Bollywood based on nationalistic themes, John Abraham said that there is a thin line that divides patriotism from jingoism. The actor also said that if there is a wave of films that do address what the country needs to see at this point of time, then it's absolutely worth it.
The film is reportedly based on true events. The plot of the film revolves around a bank cashier (played by John) who is recruited by India’s foreign intelligence agency - the Research and Analysis Wing (
RAW). He operates as a secret agent in PoK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir) during the events leading up to the 1971 Indo-Pak war which led to the liberation of Bangladesh.
