1942 A Love Story
Summary 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, dared to be different, as he did not fall in either of those categories - he is in love with Rajeshwari Pathak. 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, is a former gigolo for the British, awaiting a royal title, Rajeshwari's dad is actively involved against the British. Now Naren has to chose 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.
