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.
The show also presents other groups of independence involved at Bose's time, including the Swadeshis. 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.
