In June, Netflix India announced a package of entertainment consisting of 17 films that are all set to premiere directly on the digital platform in the coming few months. Ever since the OTT platform has revealed these names, Janhvi Kapoor’s 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl' has become the talk of the town.

Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Zee Studios' film 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl' is a biopic based on the Indian Air Force’s first woman pilot in combat, who played a crucial role in the 1999 Kargil War - Flight Lieutenant Gunjan Saxena. The film also stars biggies like Angad Bedi and Pankaj Tripathi that makes it more thrilling.

Here are the six reasons to watch this biopic on a woman who played an important role in Indian history.

Stellar Cast

The success of a film is majorly dependent on its cast, and in this case, the cast amazingly fits the characters. The audience will be able to enjoy the perfect fusion between the freshness of Janhvi Kapoor, the raw talent of Angad Bedi with the years of experience that Pankaj Tripathi holds. Pankaj Tripathi, who earlier played a negative character in Netflix’s Sacred Games is back but this time in the role of a loving and caring father.
