, who lost her army officer-father in a ­terrorist attack in 1994, feels that such films are not well researched.

"The only film based on the Indian defence ­services that I liked was the Nana Patekar and Madhuri Dixit-starrer Prahaar (1991). It talked about how people in the armed ­forces see and react to ­injustice," she says. adds that films don’t always ­portray reality, especially when it comes to films ­revolving around the Indian Army. "Sometimes what you see on the celluloid is not correct. For ­example, certain defence services-based films don’t even use the right ranks. Either the colour on the flap is not right or the order of the rank is incorrect," says Nimrat.
