This a Punjabi Indian film based on history of Punjab that is a state of india. This movie starts with a scene on 4 June 1984, during operation of blue start when some politicians attacked on harimander sahib in amritsar. In this movie there is a group of pilgrims are locked inside a room in the parkarma, mostly elderly, women, and children, who are dying of dehydration and hunger due to the Army refusing the evacuation of Pilgrims from the Golden Temple Complex. The pilgrims are finally able to open the door locking them in. One of the women in the room, a mother of a newborn who hasn’t eaten or drunk in two days, proceeds to go under fire to bring water for the pilgrims from the sarovar. However, one of the elderly pilgrims, Bachan Singh Maan, stops the mother and volunteers to bring water for her child. When he comes out of the room as the firing stops, just when he dips in the sarovar, Indian Army machine gunners kill him.

The story flash forwards to September 1986, where Satwant Kaur is living alone and spends her days sitting outside the area police station. Satwant Kaur now feeds poor children and her son’s Hindu best friend Bittu. Satwant kaur mother of shivjeet singh, she is caring, loving and so innocent and kind-hearted to everyone. However, it’s revealed that Satwant’s son, Shiva went to work in the field one year ago and never came back. To cope with the loss, Satwant treats Bittu as her son, much to the jealousy and anger of his Hindu parents. Bittu moves on to take Satwant Kaur to a Human Rights Lawyer who is known to have found many boys who were kidnapped by the cope of punjabnand keeps a record of the boys who were killed in fake encounters.

The story then flashes back to 1984, a day before blue star operation. Shivjeet, or Shiva, is a college going young adult who is an avid fan of fampus Punjabi singer Kuldeep manak and loves Jeeti who is his classmate. Jeeti also reciprocates his feelings. Shiva is having a land feud with his corrupt and drug-addicted cousin Jaggi, who is best friends with the village Inspector Deep Singh Rana. In enters Inspector Deep Singh Rana, a sadistic, apathetic, police officer who kills innocent Sikhs and Hindus for rank promotions and under orders from the Central Government. While facing Jaggi and Rana, Shiva guarantees that none of them can plough his land while he’s still alive. At home, Shiva has an argument with his dad because his dad is a law-abiding and court-going man while Shive believes that none other than the almighty guarantees his rights. Satwant Kaur reveals toShiva of her knowledge of his secretive dating of Jeeti. In the morning, Bachan Singh leaves for Amritsar.

When Shiva, Bittu, and Satwant wake up in the morning, they find out that all of Punjab is under Military Rule and that there is an indefinite Curfew upon the entire state. There is an entire media blackout, with the only news coming from the Military Radio Channel, which is only referring to attack on golden temple as a minor incident occurring in Amritsar. The entire state is at a standstill while everyone is listening to the Radio updates on the situation in Amritsar. Meanwhile, Bachan Singh is trapped in the Darbar Sahib complex. Against Army orders, the village gurdwara announces that, the Army has invaded Darbar Sahib with tanks and gunner helicopters and the entire city of Amritsar is being shelled. Bittu and Shiva then proceed to sneak their way to Amritsar on their tractor to try to find out what’s happening. They encounter an Army blockade on the road to Amritsar, where countless people are pushing against the barricade to make their way to Amritsar, just as Shiv and Bittu are. In the entire situation, Shiv is rifle-butted by soldiers and countless protesters have been killed.

After the Operation, Bittu, Satwant, and Shiva go to the Emergency Police Station, to try to find out the whereabouts of Bachan Singh. The police officers treat them badly as it’s found out that the government declared Bachan Singh a terrorist who took up arms against the state and executed him. The next person in the line of people at the Police Station, whose brother was also at the sikh temple of amritsar, was meanwhile declared a peaceful pilgrim killed in  fire.” When Bittu asks for Bachan’s remains, the Police say that the Army already incinerated all evidence of the “terrorists.”

Shiva has now left college, doesn’t use his radio any more due to the broadcast of Operation Blue Star coming on it, and spends his days working and mourning on the farm to cope with the loss of his father. To help cheer Shiva up, his mother places the radio in the courtyard and talks about selling it. The reverse-psychology works, and Shiv starts playing Kuldip Manak songs loudly on the radio while going to the fields. While working in the fields, Rana shows up and changes Shiv’s radio’s channel to the News, which is informing of a “terrorist” attack in taran tarn city of amritsar, with the police looking for the culprits. Shiv’s mute friend immediately runs to Satwant Kaur’s house, where she doesn’t understand what he’s trying to say until the boy makes the sound of a “kutti,” referring to the stopper on a “Halt” Well system, meaning one thing: Shiv’s in trouble. The story flashes back to 1986, where the Human Rights Lawyer asks Satwant to check the record of the youth killed in fake encounters. Fortunately, Shivjeet is not in the album or list of those killed. Satwant and Bittu then go to the local politician Darshan Singh Poonpuri, a peace-loving separatist, who vows to help them find Shiva is in trouble. When bittu came to home hois parents scoled him for staying and help her. After that satwant kaur goes to police station, a news reporter wants to record story of her son. Then inspector rana scared from media that they can find shivjeet and will give them case to central government. than rana beats the journalist and, he beats to elderly Satwant kaur. Another police officer who worked for rana also know the truth, and secretly said to shivejeet mother all the story that really what happened. Then, rana found the one friend of shivejeet who is with them. Afterthat satwant kaur and shiva go to police station to meet pinda than inspector tells them that he never heared from him. Then they went to pinda family they tell them truth. But pinda was tortured by police. when pinda went to home, he recognises her because pinda always talked about her. Pinda tell them all truth.

Taari was a Separatist poet and journalist for a couple of Print Magazines and News Papers. Taari was friends with Rebel Sukhdev Singh Sarhali, due to which Taari was arrested under tada. However, the real reason Taari was arrested was so that he couldn’t write more Revolutionary Poetry. The Police subsequently crippled his writing hand. Shivjeet then recalls that he recited Taari’s poems in college for multiple school projects. He discussed all the past with him.and then sarhalli convience them to join their group. Then sarhali sends him to a mission named SSP. And taari said them that shiva is dead but her mother doesn’t want to believe that her son is died. But sarhali send him for one-year training to across the border. Sarhali was fake and wants to be a politician through them. And shiva is working on sarhali plan to killall the police headquarters in golden temple.  One day, he visited to golden temple and convinces him that he should be killed inside his head quarters to torrorise the police department. Shiva was able to successfully intrude into ssp jagat ram office and getting a file pertaining to encounter the dig office signed. On that day, pinda was captured by the police while shive shoot three times.

 Shiva came back to kill rana on bridge of river that passed to his village and able to kill him. Then he goes to his home but his girlfriend jeeti married to the police officer who killed him when he was knowing his home door and calling for mother. On that day, jeeti husband come outside their home and shoot shiva. His mother was crying in the movie. The movie ends by showing a song that shows pictures of some the mothers who lost their sons in 1984 riots.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
