It spin tails them down a direction they can never return from, leading to a shocking turn of events as their women Priya (Dia Mirza) and Titli (Nauheed Cyrusi) add to the drama and conflict.
There is more in common between Manoj Kumar’s 1967 paean to patriotism Upkar and Sohail Khan’s Kissan than the song Mere desh ki dharti for which Sohail has officially taken the rights from Manoj Kumar. The two films share a common theme as well, so much so that the basic plotting of the two films is almost identical.
Upkar is about a mother Radha (Kamini Kaushal) from an agricultural family in a village. She can only afford to send one son for education to the city. While Bharat (Manoj Kumar) grows up to be an uneducated patriotic son of the soil, his brother (Prem Chopra) returns from the city burdened with the corrupt idea of progressive living with no respect for the motherland. Cut to Kissan where Kamini Kaushal changes gender to become the farmer-father Jackie Shroff who can afford to send only one son for education to the city. Prem Chopra from Upkar transforms into the city-bred son Arbaaz Khan in Kissan, while Sohail Khan is the son who stays back in the village to be a farmer with his father.
“Upkar, Mother India, Deewaar and…now Kissan. They’re all made on the  same line. These films shows the  real India, as majority of the Indians are still farmers and resides in villages. Such films are more patriotic compared to the urban based films.That proves the point that villagers are more patriotic at heart. At least Kissan will have a large audiences as most of the rural India will prefer to watch this film. Good effort by the Film makers, rather a very thoughtful subject to lure the simple rural crowd. Great going indeed!
