The Forgotten Army (2001)

Plot

Decades after World War II, The Forgotten Army embarks on a poignant journey to retrace the historic path of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's Indian National Army (INA) from 1942 to 1945. The film follows several veterans, including Capt. Laxshmi Sehgal and Col. Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, as they return to Singapore and Burma, sharing their vivid memories of the march. These reflections are interwoven with archival footage, bringing to life once-thriving barracks and battlefields now in ruins. Central to the narrative is Bose’s charismatic leadership, highlighted by his stirring declaration of war against Britain and the US at Cathay Cinema Hall.
