The film is an adaptation from real life events that happened at the Battle of Longewala during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The film was screened retrospective on August 13th 2016 at the Independence Day Film Festival jointly presented by the Indian Directorate of Film Festivals and Ministry of Defense, commemorating 70th Indian Independence Day.

Border intended to make an appeal against war. Thus, the end of the movie depicted most soldiers dead and the trauma it caused to their family members.

The lyrics of song “Mere Dushman Mere Bhai” sung by Hariharan criticises war and describes its disastrous effects, with the lines “Hum Apne Apne Kheton Mein Gehoon Ki Jagah Chaanval Ki Jagah, Ye Bandookein Kyoon Botein Hain…. Jab Dono Hi Ki Galiyon Mein, Kuch Bhooke Bachche Rotein Hain….!!”

(“Why do we grow guns in our farms instead of wheat and rice, when children in our countries cry due to hunger….”)
