The film explicitly or implicitly addresses two big issues of contemporary Indian debate at this point in

It is a story of three children, who once planted a flag in the ground and stationed a make-shift post to honour the martyrs who were killed in the war. After some years, an ‘Army Temple’ was established at the same spot as a monument to forever remember the sacrifices of the brave soldiers.
By creating protagonists belonging to different religions, namely Hinduism, Islam and Christianity, who are all serving in the Indian army to safeguard the interests of the nation state, the film seeks to promote the message of secularism.
