Amid a continuing  uncertainty on reopening of theatres across India,  increasing number of filmmakers are going in for the release of their films on OTT.

After makers of  comedy Hungama 2 last week announced decision to release their film on Disney Hotstar streaming platform,  makers of the megastarrer Bhuj The Pride of India, which features Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles, have also decided to release their film on Disney Hotstar on August 13.

Sharing the announcement, Disney Hotstar said,' Catch the true story of courage, valor and victory of 1971. The Greatest Battle ever fought. #BHUJThePrideOfIndia streaming from Aug 13th on #DisneyPlusHotstarMultiplex.'

Directed by Abhishek Dudhaiya, Bhuj The Pride of India is set during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.

The film is about the life of IAF Squadron Leader Vijay Karnik, the then in-charge of the Bhuj airport who, with his team, reconstructed the IAF airbase with the help of 300 women from the local village Madhapar.

During the 1971 Indo‑Pak war, the IAF airstrip at Bhuj was destroyed in combat. Subsequently, 300 local women led by IAF squadron leader Vijay Karnik heroically toiled day in and day out to reconstruct the airbase. This act of resilience was a pivotal moment which not only boosted the morale of the country, but also helped us win the war.
