1942 - A Love Story

(1994)

In 1942 the British Ruled India, a time when people were either working for the British or rallying for underground meetings and protests against them. Amidst this background, Narendra alias Naren Singh (Anil Kapoor), dared to be different, as he did not fall in either of those categories - he is in love with Rajeshwari Pathak (Manisha Koirala). But their romance is not an easy one, for Naren comes from a wealthy family, and Rajeshwari is poor. Then there is the fact that while Naren's dad, Diwan Hari Singh (Manohar Singh), is an informer for the British, awaiting a royal title, Rajeshwari's dad (Anupam Kher) is actively involved against the British. Now Naren has to choose between his dad's hatred for the revolutionaries; and his love for Rajeshwari - which may make him a revolutionary himself, and set him up against his very own father.
