editThis is a single handed war on terrorism. Commando in the Indian Army Bharath considers his nation as his mother. He does not want anyone to cut it like piece of cake. He is very strong and stubborn in his decision.
Captain Bharath is Salim, Captain Bharath is Jai Hind. In his first assignment to trace or trash the terrorist operation he round off terrorist Masood and hand over to the government of India. He gets Shourya Chakra for it. In a short span of time Masood is freed on a hijack of an Indian Air plane with Rs. 2 billion demand set by terrorist gang.
Feeling ashamed of this, Captain Bharath in his second assignment takes his own decision. He seeks the support of his doctor wife Anjali (Pooja Gandhi) in declaring him as dead. As Salim and as Jai Hind, Captain Bharath now with a clue of terrorist attack in prominent places in Bangalore put an end to terrorist activities and surrenders to the government.

Reception
editCritical response
editA critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Sandesh for his excellent performance. Pooja Gandhi has done justice to her role. Music by Krishnavarada Kulakarni is good. Suryakantha Honnali has done a good job of cinematography".[7] A critic from News18 India wrote "Cinematography is convincing. The actual Army training places and 'Vandematharam' song are well captured by Suryakanth Honnalli. Krishnavardhana Kulkarni banked on the old popular tunes. One Hindi and one Kannada film tunes he has picked shamelessly".[8] A critic from NDTV wrote "While the camera work of Suryakanth Honnali is better, Krishnavardhan Kulkarni's music is below average. Editing work is also mediocre. Jai Hind has a laudable concept, but poor direction mars the film".[9]
