Haqeeqat is a film dedicated to Mr. Nehru and trading on the resurgence of nationalist sentiment in the wake of the India-China War of 1962. The war had led to a sobering awareness of India’s military capability and contributed to a number of schisms about Nehruite notions of non-alignment while accelerating the split in the CPI between Moscow and Beijing aligned groups. The film is one made straight from the heart. The film deals honestly with the mistakes made by the leaders and the defeat suffered by India in the war. The film looks at the plight of those who mattered the most in the war – the jawan.
