It was a time when many Indian citizens were either working for the British regime or rallying in underground meetings and protests against them. In this atmosphere, Narendra Singh (<a href="/wiki/Anil_Kapoor" title="Anil Kapoor">Anil Kapoor</a>) falls in love with Rajeshwari Pathak (<a href="/wiki/Manisha_Koirala" title="Manisha Koirala">Manisha Koirala</a>). Their romance is shown developing in spite of the political and social unrest at the time. </p><p>Narendra's father, Diwan Hari Pratap Singh (<a href="/wiki/Manohar_Singh" title="Manohar Singh">Manohar Singh</a>) is a loyal British employee working for the brutal British General Douglas (<a href="/wiki/Brian_Glover" title="Brian Glover">Brian Glover</a>), who is infamous for tracking down and executing citizens who are believed to be revolutionaries. Rajeshwari's father, Raghuveer Pathak (<a href="/wiki/Anupam_Kher" title="Anupam Kher">Anupam Kher</a>) is a revolutionary fighting against British rule, as he holds a grudge against Douglas for murdering his son. When Narendra asks Raghuveer for Rajeshwari's hand in marriage, Raghuveer becomes livid. However, Narendra declares that he is willing to sacrifice everything for Rajeshwari and convinces Raghuveer of his love for her. Raghuveer relents but tells Narendra to talk to his father first. When Narendra does so, Hari is angry that his son has chosen the daughter of a revolutionary, but he pretends that he will do anything for Narendra's happiness. </p><p>However, Hari tricks Narendra into revealing Raghuveer's secret location and leaks the information to Major Bisht (<a href="/wiki/Danny_Dengzongpa" class="mw-redirect" title="Danny Dengzongpa">Danny Dengzongpa</a>) and the British authorities. Soon, police barge into Raghuveer's hideaway and try to kill him, only to find him waiting to light a bomb, killing both himself and the men. Rajeshwari, who was out at that time, realizes what has happened and runs away. She is taken into refuge by Shubhankar (<a href="/wiki/Jackie_Shroff" title="Jackie Shroff">Jackie Shroff</a>), a compatriot of Raghuveer who has learned of his death. Under Shubhankar's tutelage, Rajeshwari follows her father's revolutionary path. Meanwhile, Narendra gets furious at his father for using him to kill Raghuveer and drive Rajeshwari away. Promising to make up to Rajeshwari and help her cause, Narendra pledges to become a revolutionary by severing all ties with his father; even Bisht's daughter Chanda (<a href="/wiki/Chandni_(Bollywood_actress)" title="Chandni (Bollywood actress)">Chandni</a>) does the same after witnessing Bisht murdering her teacher Abid Ali Baig (<a href="/wiki/Pran_(actor)" title="Pran (actor)">Pran</a>), who is a revolutionary allied with Shubhankar, much to Bisht's remorse. </p><p>To prove his point, Narendra attempts to murder Douglas in front of the city but is caught in the act after shooting down a few soldiers. Narendra is then convicted and sentenced to hang for attempted murder. Douglas then orders his troops to fire at the town square, resulting in the deaths of several citizens, including Chanda. However, Shubhankar saves Narendra from being hanged, and Bisht develops a change of heart after witnessing Chanda's death, helping Shubhankar and Narendra finish off Hari and the remaining loyalists and stabbing Douglas with a flagpole. With the loyalists dead, Narendra reconciles with Rajeshwari while Shubhankar hangs Douglas to death, avenging all those who perished under Douglas' wrath. The film ends with Narendra, Rajeshwari, Shubhankar, Bisht, and the surviving citizens hoisting and saluting the Indian flag. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1942:_A_Love_Story&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Anil_Kapoor" title="Anil Kapoor">Anil Kapoor</a> as Narendra Singh "Naren", Rajjo’s love interest</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jackie_Shroff" title="Jackie Shroff">Jackie Shroff</a> as Shubhankar, Pathak’s accomplice, secretly had a crush on Rajjo</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Manisha_Koirala" title="Manisha Koirala">Manisha Koirala</a> as Rajeshwari Pathak "Rajjo"</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Chandni_(Bollywood_actress)" title="Chandni (Bollywood actress)">Chandni</a> as Chanda Bisht, Naren’s drama partner who secretly liked Naren</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anupam_Kher" title="Anupam Kher">Anupam Kher</a> as Raghuveer Pathak, Rajjo’s father</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Danny_Denzongpa" title="Danny Denzongpa">Danny Denzongpa</a> as Major Bisht, Chanda’s Father</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pran_(actor)" title="Pran (actor)">Pran</a> as Abid Ali Baig, Chanda’s, Rajjo’s and Naren’s drama teacher, Pathak’s accomplice in plotting General’s murder</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ashish_Vidyarthi" title="Ashish Vidyarthi">Ashish Vidyarthi</a> as Ashutosh Pathak, Rajjo’s brother</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Raghuveer_Yadav" class="mw-redirect" title="Raghuveer Yadav">Raghuveer Yadav</a> as Munna, Naren’s Driver and Rajjo’s neighbour</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sushma_Seth" title="Sushma Seth">Sushma Seth</a> as Gayatri Singh, Naren’s Mother</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Manohar_Singh" title="Manohar Singh">Manohar Singh</a> as Diwan Hari Pratap Singh, Naren’s Father</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Brian_Glover" title="Brian Glover">Brian Glover</a> as General Douglas</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1942:_A_Love_Story&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Development">Development</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1942:_A_Love_Story&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1224211176">.mw-parser-output .quotebox{background-color:#F9F9F9;border:1px solid #aaa;box-sizing:border-box;padding:10px;font-size:88%;max-width:100%}.mw-parser-output .quotebox.floatleft{margin:.5em 1.4em .8em 0}.mw-parser-output .quotebox.floatright{margin:.5em 0 .8em 1.4em}.mw-parser-output .quotebox.centered{overflow:hidden;position:relative;margin:.5em auto .8em auto}.mw-parser-output .quotebox.floatleft span,.mw-parser-output .quotebox.floatright span{font-style:inherit}.mw-parser-output .quotebox>blockquote{margin:0;padding:0;border-left:0;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit}.mw-parser-output .quotebox-title{text-align:center;font-size:110%;font-weight:bold}.mw-parser-output .quotebox-quote>:first-child{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .quotebox-quote:last-child>:last-child{margin-bottom:0}.mw-parser-output .quotebox-quote.quoted:before{font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-weight:bold;font-size:large;color:gray;content:" “ ";vertical-align:-45%;line-height:0}.mw-parser-output .quotebox-quote.quoted:after{font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-weight:bold;font-size:large;color:gray;content:" ” ";line-height:0}.mw-parser-output .quotebox .left-aligned{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .quotebox .right-aligned{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .quotebox .center-aligned{text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .quotebox .quote-title,.mw-parser-output .quotebox .quotebox-quote{display:block}.mw-parser-output .quotebox cite{display:block;font-style:normal}@media screen and (max-width:640px){.mw-parser-output .quotebox{width:100%!important;margin:0 0 .8em!important;float:none!important}}</style><div class="quotebox pullquote floatright" style="width:25%; ;"> <blockquote class="quotebox-quote left-aligned" style=""> <p>Vinod told me that he only makes dark films.
