The film premiered on 10 November 2023 on Amazon Prime Video.[1]Here finally is a war movie that steers clear of many of the tropes that Bollywood employs often to the detriment of the genre. Pippa, directed by Raja Krishna Menon, presents the action firmly within the realms of believability and stages it around soldiers and revolutionaries who look and sound real.The film takes time to warm up. Once it does, it delivers a portrait of battlefield valour that abjures shallow bravado and bluster. The fighting men are heroes all but they aren’t oblivious of personal challenges, doubts and misgivings as they plunge into their mission.Pippa, produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP and Siddharth Roy Kapur’s Roy Kapur Films, places a just cause and the people fighting for it front and centre. The story it tells is more about palpable humanity than about pulpy patriotism.To be sure, not everything that Pippa attempts comes off. But it does strike a chord with its sustained restraint even as it deals with violence, courage and death. The battle scenes, staged in a no-holds-barred manner, are central to the narrative but they aren’t all that there is to the film.Centred on the landmark Battle of Garibpur in November 1971 and toplined by Ishaan Khatter, the Amazon Prime Video film never loses sight of the human aspect of the action. It is about three siblings – two temperamentally different army boys and their spirited sister, a Delhi University student activist, who is recruited by India’s spy agency to intercept and decipher secret wartime messages.
