Plot

This show is a biographical drama, depicting the life of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. The show begins by presenting the youth of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, and presenting the many brave decisions Bose took as a young boy with his friends in Cuttack.

From episode 231 the series transitions to his later life, and his attendance at the Presidency College in Kolkata. In episode 390 there is another jump to 1933.

The show also presents other groups of independence involved at Bose's time, including the likes of Bagha Jatin, Sri Aurobindo, Khudiram Bose and many others associated with the Swadeshi movement . Often regarded as the greatest leader of the Indian Freedom Struggle, he fearlessly led his Indian National Army to war against the British, inspiring mass revolts and mutinies throughout the country, ultimately resulting in India's independence.
