With just 25 loyal Sikh soldiers and a letter (a hukamnamah ) authorizing the conquest of Punjab, Banda Singh Bahadur rode north. The “Rise” had begun. The film shows a strategic, cold rage. Banda Singh did not march directly to Sirhind, the fortress of Wazir Khan (who had bricked the young Sahibzaade alive). First, he struck the nerve centers of the Mughal persecution machine.
