While Old Sodhi, Amar and Rani make a run for their lives from the Burmese soldiers, Maya and young Sodhi embark on their freedom journey from Rangoon towards India. Things take an unfortunate turn when their trains are bombed by British bombers. Even in the face of death, the INA soldiers do not give up hope and begin their march to Delhi in the historical Epic March. Old Sodhi and gang find themselves somewhere in the jungles of Rangoon where, a contemplative Old Sodhi recalls the way to the Indian border. Thus giving them an escape route. While in 1944, the soldiers of the INA are given orders where one of the brigades is asked to march ahead to Imphal, where they defeat the British Army in the Battle of Imphal. Prior to the battle we witness the growing bonds between Sodhi, Maya, Rajan and Rasammah. On their way upstream on a boat, towards the Indian border, Amar urges Old Sodhi to share more about his time with the INA in Imphal. This opens an array of past events that take us further into the lives of the soldiers. The issues they faced there, their conflict with the Japanese orders, brainwashing ways of the British and yet, how they stuck on, true to the cause. But the rains are what destroyed them. Rains like nobody had ever seen. How it was the rains that stopped the supplies, stopped all communication. Yet Maya and the Ranis kept looking for them. Under these tough circumstances, the Japanese were ordered to retreat and with that, their hopes died a little bit more. Thus began the retreat from Imphal of the brave but dying soldiers of the INA and in 1996, Old Sodhi, Amar and the others just barely escape being found by the Burmese soldiers.
