Plot During the year 1945, the British police stationed in Burma hear the news of a supposed plane crash in which Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose dies presumably, so they devise plans to overthrow the INA started by Netaji. The INA also plan to start a rebellion in 1945 in order to subdue the British Raj, with Burma being their organizational center. However an internal dispute arises within the community of INA members after Netaji's death as to whether he supposedly died or not. Adhi is an active member of the INA, who voices out to his fellow INA members that Netaji still lives, but others fail to listen to him. A depressed Adhi now recalls his past as to how he was inspired to join the INA. In the year 1942, Adhi was a budding barrister who had come to Burma from India to work under Subbayya, a leading barrister of that time who was also a convoy and friend of the British. It is revealed that Adhi also intended to marry Anandhi, the daughter of Subbayya, and both fall in love when they meet each other. In Burma, Adhi learns of the dismal fate of his fellow Indians who are tortured and killed by some malicious British officers who also loot the wealth of the common people. Adhi also comes to learn of the INA founded by Netaji fighting against the British. Inspired by their work, he joins their alliance, takes up arms, and annihilates many corrupt British officers. On learning this, Subbayya, who had initially approved of his daughter's marriage to Adhi, now disapproves of it and tries to separate Adhi from his family. However Adhi and Anandhi still love each other, and Adhi's friend somehow tries to convince Subbayya for their wedding. Subbayya hesitantly agrees, and so Adhi and Anandhi get married.
