A story of justice, honour , faith and above all believing in yourself.

A story of finding courage within… where friendships are tested in the battle which maters the most… the battle for truth and justice…

Shaurya is the story of Javed…a man wronged by his country… by the very men who he fought with and were his friends. Its the story of Siddhant, whose only aim in life was to escape reality and wasn’t ready for what life brought him…its the story of Kavya who never understood why it was difficult to speak the truth…Its the story of Akash for whom living the rules was the only way to live life. And it’s the story of Major general Pratap a man who lived by his own rules even if they were against humanity…

Captain Javed Khan charged with mutiny, treason and killing a fellow officer…is being tried for court martial… who refuses to speak in his defense as the secret of the night he holds is too powerful for the establishment to handle

General Pratap who has lost his blue eyed boy to Javeds bullet… who wants him to hang for this ….

Kavya…an honest journalist who believes that every story has two sides to it… this time one is silent

Sid and Akash… best friends, lawyers, two very ambitious individuals… yet they both have absolutely contrasting views on life. And the way they see it.

Akash is the son of a very famous lawyer, comes from an army background and has been educated in the best of schools. For him the only profession he ever though about was the Indian army which stood for all that he stood for …but he has an ambitious streak in him…he wants to reach the top and he will play by the rules…using them to his advantage

Sid is the exact opposite. He hates being in the country. His father was in the army and lost his life on the front. Sid is in this job because of his father, who wanted to see his son in uniform, but his death has left Sid bitter about the system and he wants to get out…He wants to start a bungee jumping school in New Zealand .

But this one case will change their lives… When Akash gets the case he convinces Sid to take this case… for Akash the logic is clear…Sid can only make his victory easier …

The case takes the two of them to Srinagar… and while Akash follows the blueprint he has set out for himself and for whom winning this case matters the most … For Sid, a journey of discovery starts., Kavya, Javed and of course the man in question, Col. Pratap… all start becoming catalysts in the case that he has taken to lose, but starts becoming much more than he thinks it is.

Why is Javed silent??

What is the truth of that night??

Why is general Pratap hell bent on getting javed convicted?

Will Sid have the courage to save Javeds life and his should…

‘Shaurya’ is a term that encapsulates Bravery, courage and honour! Our film of the same name, examines this very virtue, held in the highest esteem by the Indian army. What is the essential meaning of courage? What is it that makes a man courageous? Is it just physical bravado… or a more innate power of the soul?

Character Sketch

Siddhant Chaudhary – Sid (Rahul Bose):
Rahul BoseSiddharth, the main protagonist of our film is a rebellious, adventurous, immature, intelligent and reckless young army lawyer.

Sid lost his father Brig. Choudhary at a very young age. The fact that the death of his father is being celebrated with such great pride makes him unhappy to join the army and a bit disappointed with his mother. The only person who Sid thinks is a support to him is his best friend Akash. Sid shares a very cordial relationship with Akash’s fiancé.
Sid got into Army by chance and not by desire and that’s why wants to leave it, leave it as soon as possible, leave it to accomplish his desire to become a Bungee Jumping Instructor in New- Zealand.

As Sid and Akash approach their first case, we see that Sid still carries along his aloof, immature and disinterested attitude.

With the progress of the movie and the entry of Kavya in Sid’s life, there happens to be a sudden change in his overall outlook. This is when we get to see the other side of Sid who is ready to fight and take control over situation. He changes. He changes to an extent that he even thinks of law to be an adventurous profession that he wants to be in the army now and he changes from nobody to somebody.

Brigadier Rudra Prasad Singh (Kay Kay Menon)
Major General Pratap is in the league of one of the strongest written fictional chracters ever.
He has been one of the strongest officers of the Indian Army. He is a man of Integrity, A man with strong beliefs, committed and driven, a perfect master and above all has the strongest belief in himself.
General Pratap came from a family of High Profile and prosperous Army professionals and had a happy childhood. He received excellent education.

In the introduction scene of the film only we see General Pratap playing golf at the line of control, this in a way shows that he has no fear in life. He is Patriotic, over confident and an honorable man.
Pratap has the capability to unnerve his subordinate and to an extent he likes to intimidate people. He knows that he is at a position of power and he uses this to his advantage.
He is authoritative, arrogant, proud and egoistic person.
He has a clear vision in life because of which he has reached the position of authority. This vision was clouded when his wife and daughter were killed by his Muslim servant. This also has caused certain level of biasness in his attitude towards Muslim community.
He has never openly showed that he held vengeance against the Muslim. It is only revealed as the movie comes to an end where he confesses that it was under his order that the incident (on which the film is based) of killing of a kashmiri Boy took place under his command and order.

Kavya Shashtri (Minissha Lamba):
Minissha LambaKavya is a very bright, young, upcoming, focused, beautiful journalist. She is a go getter and wants to achieve great goals in the field of journalism. Her character is very sorted out since the beginning. She knows what she wants and she works hard for it. She makes Sid realize his job responsibilities and she makes him believe the fact that his profession and his job can really save Javed’s life, who is innocent.

She has always been a very passionate person. In fact she is an over enthusiastic journo. She doesn’t mind getting into trouble to get her facts right and know the truth. She is lovely, spunky and a fun loving girl.
From being a friend, her character develops as Sid’s love interest as the story progresses.

Captain Javed Khan (Deepak Dobriyal):
Deepak DobriyalCaptain Javed Khan, a young, honest, brave army officer who can give his life for the country. In the beginning of the movie Javed is portrayed to be a very quite, intense, dedicated man who is death sentenced and he himself has given up on it.

Javed is a 26 years old Muslim army officer. His Father was a subedar and it was the proudest moment for him to see his son becoming an officer. Javed’s mother is a proud woman too, she would rather sacrifice his son for the sake honor of the country and his husband then to have him come back dishonorably discharged from armed forces. Javed’s belief in the army too was stupendous.

Javed is an honest, religious and brave man. He is a stout, strong and a tough looking man.

He totally trusts the system and is completely driven by Armed Forces. He is disciplined, follows army protocol yet he will not stand any injustice done to anyone innocent. He is a courageous man who if need be will give up his life to protect the honor and pride of the country and Army.

Maj. Akash Kapoor (Jaaved Jaaferi):
Akash is a young (between 25-28 years), sharp and focused army lawyer.

Unlike Sid his best friend he didn’t join Army just by chance but he is here with a purpose, a purpose to be a success man and the sooner the better.

Akash is the son of a very famous lawyer, comes from an army background and has been educated in the best of schools. For him the only profession he ever thought about was the Indian army which stood for all that he stood for… but he has an ambitious streak in him… He wants to reach the top and he will play by the rules… using them to his advantage.

However in spite of being so practical, there is an emotional side to him too. The two most important people in his life are Sid and Nandini, and he is proud of his friend Sid’s fight through the case where he is loosing technically.
Nandini is Akash’s fiancé and he doesn’t mind using his would be father-in- law influences to fix things for him professionally.

His interactions with Sid and other characters prove the fact that he a very ambitious, sharp, Shrewd (in a way) and practical.
