Bhuj: The Pride Of India tells one of the many stories of bravery, selflessness, and commitment, shown by ordinary people apart from the armed forces during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. The period drama looks back into the journey of 300 women from Madhapar village of Gujarat’s Kutch district, who played a pivotal role in helping India win the war. The women came together to rebuild and repair the only runway in Bhuj, which was crucial for the war.

The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Hate Story 4 actor Ihana Dhillon, singer-actor Ammy Virk, and South Indian actor Pranitha Subhash. Pranitha, who has starred in a number of movies such as Porki, Saguni, and Dynamite, Bhuj: The Pride of India will also mark her Bollywood debut.
