- The 1940s Track (The Heart): This is what viewers came for. We follow Sodhi (Sunny Kaushal) and his comrades as they flee British India, join the INA in Singapore, and march to the battlefields of Imphal and Kohima. This track is visceral, desperate, and genuinely educational. The scenes of the INA’s formation, the recruitment of civilians, and the brutal conditions of the march are the show’s lifeblood.
- The 2020s Track (The Dead Weight): This follows the grandson of a fallen INA soldier on a tourist trip to the very battlefields of Myanmar and Northeast India. He meets a historian (played by a wooden R. Badree), falls into a half-hearted romance, and learns about his grandfather.
