==Plot==
People are marching in the streets of [[East Pakistan]] in protests against the country's [[military junta]]. At his home, Captain Asad of the Pakistan Army is arguing about the country's future with his sister and her friend. Several days later, Captain Asad and some armies from [[East Bengal Regiment]] go to talk with Major Hassan; they learn the Pakistani army has started distrusting Bengali officials. Large numbers of troops are coming from [[West Pakistan]] to East Pakistan, which is a sign of danger, and troops of [[Punjab Regiment (Pakistan)|Punjab Regiment]] are strengthening their area's security system.

An officer of the Punjab Regiment, on the pretext of the presence of [[Naxalites]], sends a section of the East Bengal Regiment to Shamserganj, far from [[Chittagong Cantonment]], and orders them to remain there. Senior Pakistan Army officials order the return of arms to the Bengali troops. The Bengalis reject this order. Realizing the Pakistanis will soon attack them, the Bengali armies revolt and capture the Punjabi regiment troops. After [[Independence Day (Bangladesh)|the declaration of Bangladeshi independence]], the war of liberation begins. Pakistani troops detain Captain Asad and a soldier but Asad escapes from the local prison.

Pakistani troops searching for Asad arrive at his house with [[Razakar (Pakistan)|Razakar]] Daliluddin and snatch his sister's friend Rikta from his mother. Asad returns home and learns everything from his mother. Asad joins with Major Hassan and they conduct a military operation to liberate his village and rescue the tortured Rikta from Pakistani troops. They win the battle. For nine months Asad fights with the freedom fighters and [[Victory Day (Bangladesh)|liberate Bangladesh]] from Pakistan, undergoing for many hardships.
