In a curfew induced Jammu and Kashmir, on one side, Cpt. Jamwal and Major Jasrotia are carefully checking the IDs of citizens moving across the street at a checkpoint. And on the other hand, is Cpt. Vikram Batra casually chewing on an apple, greeting everyone with “salaam” and a smile on his face. Such was his charisma that even in the most complicated and dire situation, he would shine as a ray of hope and encouragement. As one of his troop members once mentioned, “When we knew that Batra sir was leading the mission, we would be at peace”. Vishnu Vardhan’s Shershaah embodies this charm and heroism and creates a befitting tribute to Cpt. Batra and the 526 martyrs of the Kargil War.
