Kohram story (no spoilers)
In Kohram, Major Balbir Singh Sodhi (Amitabh Bachchan) attempts to assassinate the Indian Home Minister, Veer Bhadra Singh (Danny Denzongpa), but the attempt fails. He is identified, and the army launches a search to court-martial him. They suspect he has taken on a new identity: Devraj Hathoda, also known as Dadabhai. The film is a 150-minute action crime thriller that follows the military's pursuit of a fugitive officer who may be hiding in plain sight. The tension comes from the cat-and-mouse hunt and the question of whether Sodhi can evade capture while the army closes in.
