The film follows the story of a young woman who has been fighting for 23 years to provide a model for her brother's name. This woman appears to be trying to fulfill her dream of ascertaining the name after being mistaken for being an Indian spy and sentenced to death.
The film picks up momentum as the focus shifts to Kaur's campaign, but becomes heavy-handed as it attempts to frame Singh's plight in the context of Indo-Pakistan relations.
From this solid material, director Omung Kumar fashions a film that is structurally clumsy and overtly high-pitched but also strongly enacted and genuinely moving.
