Tigmanshu Dhulia’s ‘Raag Desh’, based on the famous Indian National Army (INA) trials in Second World War era, is slated to release on July 28th, 2017.

The movie is produced by Rajya Sabha TV (RSTV) and is one of the most anticipated films this year.
Raag Desh is a cinematic representation of the glorious, but forgotten chapter of India’s contemporary history. It is a story of Indian National Army (INA) of Subhash Chandra Bose. It captures the euphoria of INA, its travails and struggles and brings on the cinema screens an untold story of Indian Freedom Struggle.
Sujay Shankarwar of Tigmanshu Dhulia films, said earlier, “This was a great opportunity to showcase the real heroes of pre independence and independence era. I feel we have forgotten a very important event in the freedom struggle and also feel that it is important for the new generation to know and realise the efforts and sacrifices of our forefathers to achieve India’s independence.”
Raag Desh is the story of three leading officers of the INA namely Colonel Prem Sehgal, Colonel Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, and Major General Shah Nawaz Khan, who were captured and imprisoned in the Lal Quila (Red Fort). The film is gripping account of their trial by the British Government, famously known as ‘The Red Fort Trials’ – the trials that finally established that the British would have to Quit India.
