The musical film is set in British India during the tumultuous 1940s when Indian nationalists fighting for the country's independence rose as one, urging the British Raj to leave. It is a love story about two people who are torn between love and duty. The film has two veteran composers, A. R. Rahman and Ismail Darbar; the lyrics were written by Javed Akhtar. The film marked Amrish Puri's last appearance as he had not signed or acted in any film after it before dying on 12 January 2005. The film, however, did not perform well at the box office. The film was premiered in the Marché du Film section of the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. ## Credits - **Director:** [Subhash Ghai](https://cinepixo.com/people/subhash-ghai) - **Producer:** [Subhash Ghai](https://cinepixo.com/people/subhash-ghai) - **Editor:** [Subhash Ghai](https://cinepixo.com/people/subhash-ghai) - **Screenplay:** [Sachin Bhowmick](https://cinepixo.com/people/sachin-bhowmick) - **Original Music Composer:** [A.
