The world after the end of World War II was not very peaceful, and the indissoluble knots between some countries made these areas unstable, the most typical of which was the brothers and sisters of India and Pakistan, who were born together. Interestingly, Among the world's major film powers, India is the only one that fought wars with its neighbors after World War II, and Indian patriotic propaganda films are more relevant than other countries. In 2018, there was an Indian film with the theme of the Indo-Pakistani war, "Willing", which ranked among the top ten box offices that year, allowing people to see that the Indian film of "dancing without a word" also has a singable and weeping side.
The "partition of India and Pakistan" plan, concocted by Lord Mountbatten, the last governor of India, divided the Indian subcontinent into two countries, India, which is mainly Hindu and Pakistan, which is mainly Muslim. Such a paper partition plan makes the people who originally lived in one country forcibly divided into two countries according to religious beliefs, while there are still a small number of Muslims still living in India for various reasons, providing a natural soil for espionage operations between the two countries.

Most of India's impression comes from Hindus who sing and dance, but don't forget that there are hundreds of millions of devout Muslims in this country. This level of population is a giant presence in any Middle Eastern country, but in India it is only a minority. There are obvious differences between the two peoples in various aspects, the most typical example of which is the difference in food culture, where Hinduism places cattle in a sacred and inviolable position, while Muslims use beef as the main source of meat.
Musli, who remained in India after the "partition of India and Pakistan", was in a delicate position, dealing with the differences of his fellow Hindus at home and dealing with hostile relations with his neighbors who believed in the same religion. The Indian movie "Willing" vividly presents this complex situation of Indian Muslims, which makes people feel sad after watching it.
In the film, an Indian Muslim businessman from Kashmir maintains close contact with the Pakistani military, and his identity makes this Indian businessman trusted by the Pakistani side and provides the Pakistani military with a steady stream of intelligence from India. However, the businessman's true identity is that of an Indian spy, and his Muslim identity does not affect his loyalty and love for his country. On the eve of the Third Indo-Pakistani War, the Indian businessman discovered that he was suffering from cancer and running out of time, and in order to allow India to obtain more information before the war broke out, he made the shocking decision to marry his daughter to the son of a Pakistani general.
Through the great sacrifices made by such an Indian Muslim for the country, the film "Willing" reflects the attitude of the country's mainstream values towards the national identity of Musley.

The pure and beautiful Muslim girl Samat is the only protagonist of the film, and As a college student, Samat accepts such a dangerous mission under the persuasion of her father and begins to learn espionage skills under the harsh training of Indian intelligence agencies. However, the complications faced by this fledgling female spy far exceeded the training course, which led to her final tragic end.
When Samat married in Pakistan, the military family embraced her warmly, and she quickly integrated into local life, no different from traditionally conservative Muslim women. However, when there was no one at home, Samat used the skills he learned in Indian intelligence to set up eavesdropping equipment and telegraph devices in the pakistani general's residence. She used her status as an officer's family to obtain a large amount of military intelligence information, which was continuously sent to New Delhi.
However, what made the Muslim female spy even more uneasy was that her Pakistani officer husband was truly in love with his wife from India, and the feelings between the two were growing day by day, and Samat had to face the sincere relationship between husband and wife and the intolerable contradiction between the enemy and the enemy at the same time. Even more distressing to her, the deception of her husband violated the Islamic doctrine that one must not lie, leaving Samat under the dual pressure of feelings and beliefs.
Most seriously, Samat's behavior gradually made the family suspicious, the old housekeeper discovered the hidden telegraph device in the house, and the husband's brother also began to investigate. In the face of many crises, Samat was forced to violate the doctrine of the Quran on the insurmountable, drove his car and killed the innocent old butler, and stabbed the uncle with a poison needle.

Samat's intelligence helped India avoid major losses in the war, and Pakistani intelligence agencies gradually became aware of the problem of intelligence leakage and cracked the hidden Indian spy network in one fell swoop. Samat sent a distress message to the Indian side, and Indian intelligence agencies also sent agents to the rescue. Meanwhile, Samat's husband travels to track down his wife on the run after discovering the truth, and the two eventually meet at a bazaar. However, during his escape, Samat used the golden silkworm to shed his shell, and the husband found only a substitute for his wife.
Something unexpected happened, and the Indian agents who rushed to meet them mistakenly thought that Samat would be arrested by the Pakistani military, so they threw bombs at the two in an attempt to kill them. Samat's husband and her stand-in were killed in the explosion, while Samat hid not far away to watch her husband being killed.
At the end of the film, The heroic Samat sits alone at home and hears on the radio that India has won the war. This thrilling espionage career brought her a child, and the child's father became a victim. A great patriot is often evaluated not because of how much he has contributed, but because of how much sacrifice he has made. The movie name "Raazi" means "Agree" in Hindi and translates to "willingly" to be intriguing.

For most Chinese people, the memory of growing up is always accompanied by countless patriotic movies, and every year the six princesses of CCTV will take turns to broadcast those old black and white films as soon as they arrive in the summer vacation. From "Mine Warfare" and "Tunnel Warfare" to "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Shining Red Star", no matter what era it appears on the TV screen, it will still attract audiences of different grades. Decades of peace and development have made Chinese focused on economic construction, the relatively stable and safe surrounding situation makes us feel that the distance from war is out of reach, and the patriotic films with classic war themes that we remember as children are rare in recent years.
For India, it is a completely different matter, and with a hostile country with nuclear capabilities like Pakistan on the border, such a security environment has to make india as a whole vigilant in terms of national defense. Reflected in Indian films, such patriotic propaganda works as "Willing" are the best encouragement to the national mood, so it is not difficult to understand that this film achieved the top ten domestic box office results in India that year after its release. Similar to this film is the 2019 Indian war film Uri: Surgical Strike, which features the same Indian actor Vijay Khashal.
India's defense industry and film industry present a very different situation, fully reflecting the unique national character of this South Asian country. The mighty Bollywood has contributed one wonderful work after another to world cinema, while the seemingly blossoming Indian defense industry is still in a simple "buy buy buy" stage. That's why China has never made the southwest direction its country's strategic focus, and has never paid enough attention to such a movie-rich "military power."
