| Deewar (meaning the wall) is largely inspired by stories suggesting there are still 54 soldiers, held as prisoners of war during the 1971 war between India and Pakistan. The film concentrates on the lives and loves of these captured men and their final struggle to freedom.  | Akshay Khanna and Amrita Rao in Deewar |
Thirty three years later, fed up of the long wait, prisoner Ranvir Kaul (Amitabh Bachchan) decides on a plan of escape. His idea involves the rest of the prisoners. At the same time, Ranvir's son, Gaurav (Akshaye Khanna) travels to Pakistan in search of his father. He makes friends with a local lad by the name of Khan (Sanjay Dutt), who promises to help. Once in Pakistan, Gaurav comes across Radhika (Amrita Rao) with whom he falls in love. But will their relationship take the strain of what lies ahead? Director Milan Lutheria's Deewar has the answers.  | Amitabh Bachchan in this great escape film |
