Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan beautifully narrates the inspiring journey of Lal Bahadur Shastri, highlighting his pivotal role in India's struggle for independence. The film opens with the fervent battles waged by two ideological factions—the Garam Dal and Naram Dal—against British colonial rule. Under Gandhi's leadership, the Naram Dal championed peaceful resistance, with Shastri emerging as a significant figure. Yet, the path to greatness was fraught with challenges, including a humble upbringing, the loss of his father, and the responsibility of caring for his mother, shaping his destiny.[3]
