This movie is based on the real life battle of Longewella from the 1971 IndoPak war. However, the Indian casualties during this incident amounted to no more than 2 soldiers and the movie thus exaggerates casualties for dramatic purposes.
J. P. Dutta's brother was an Indian Air Force pilot who died in a MIG crash in 1987, the film is dedicated to him. While making the film, Dutta referred to diaries he had written at the time about his brother's experiences.
Kuldip Singh Chandpuri is an Indian Army officer known for his heroic leadership in the famous Battle of Longewala, for which he was awarded Maha Vir Chakra (MVC) by the Indian Army. His role was portrayed by Sunny Deol in this movie.

The highest-grossing Bollywood film of 1997.
"Major Kuldeep Singh: [laughs madly] Dharamvir: May I ask you a question if you don't mind, Sir? There must be some difference between bravery and madness? Major Kuldeep Singh: What you call madness comes from faith. And I have full faith that God decides life and death and God is with me, not with the enemy."
"Major Kuldeep Singh: You don't win a war by getting martyred by the enemy, you win it by killing them! YOU HAVE TO KILL THEM!"
