On #AirForceDay , I recall a film that left a long lasting impact on me. Mind you, the film was sans the usual glamour attached with any film based on defence.

Vijeta!

Directed by the brilliant Govind Bijlani and produced by Mr. Shashi Kapoor, who I consider one of the finest Ever film producer in Bollywood. Almost every film of his was a class. I use the wird Almost because Shashi Kapoor also produced the forgettable Ajooba (a nice take on Arabian nights).
