Reception

Film Companion writes that in reference to the 125 Indian soldiers fighting 3000 Chinese soldiers, India ceded territory. And that it is not only a battle against the Chinese but against the conditions that the fight is taking place in. This loss "still lingers in Indian thinking about the dangers of antagonizing China". The music is composed by Hitesh Modak and lyrics are penned by lavraj Film Companion says that it is this impact that the series wants to address, and in turn tell people to focus on the fight rather than past loss.[3]
