“The home feels so safe and in order
Tis because of the men at the border
They do not sleep or rest
Till your security is the best”
Words cannot describe the feeling of watching the Movie Amaran; I had the similar feeling when we watched the movie Border.
The amount of sacrifice the family of an army personnel goes through can never be put on paper.
No amount of compensation would do justice.
At least we can give respect and recognition where it is due.

Every moment in the movie we know that Mukund is going to be Martyred (That is not a spoiler since if you do not already know about Major Mukund then the system has failed you); but the stress of anything can happen anytime has been shown so well.
The support of parents, the love of wife and kid and the financial issues which an average army personnel faces has been shown so well!
So in case you did not know about Mukund, let me refresh your knowledge of those who give you a good sleep in the night.
Major Mukund Varadarajan, was an officer in the Indian Army’s Rajput Regiment, and is remembered as a fearless leader who prioritized his team’s safety and well-being.
In every scene he is shown not as a boss who just orders around but a leader who leads from the front!
Mukund came from an Army family—his grandfather and two uncles served in the military. This inspired him to join the Army and fight for his country. Though in the movie it has been shown that he got inspired by a visit of an army passing out parade which can also be true.
He joined the Rashtriya Rifles, an anti-terrorism wing of the Indian Army known for its rigorous work in Jammu and Kashmir, where officers operate under challenging conditions to maintain peace and security. His career in the armed forces was marked by resilience, courage, and a dedication to protecting civilians.
Major Mukund Varadarajan gained widespread recognition for his role in multiple counter-terrorism operations. On April 25, 2014, he led an operation in Shopian, Kashmir, where intelligence had identified three suspected militants hiding in a residential area. Aware of the risk, Major Mukund and his team courageously entered the zone and engaged in a close-range firefight. Demonstrating extraordinary bravery, he eliminated three militants, saving numerous lives but sustaining severe injuries in the process. He succumbed to his wounds later that day, sacrificing his life for the mission. With remarkable courage, swift decision-making, and strategic precision, he led his team to eliminate three top-ranked Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, achieving success at great personal cost!
The way he has been shown to be brave and fearless and a typical army man is simply superb!
Major Mukund was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, India’s highest peacetime military decoration, for his bravery and service!
The movie has been narrated by his wife and I guess it is her point of view which has been played so well by Sai pallavi and the lil kid!
The surge of emotion and the pride of being an Indian and how much the defence services does for us has been shown without any exaggeration.
This blog and sketch dedicated to Major Mukund.
Shubh ratri
