Gunga Din
No MovieRatingAdventure, Comedy
On the North-West Frontier Province (1901–1955) of British Raj, ''circa'' 1880, contact has been lost with a British outpost at Tantrapur in the midst of a telegraph message. Colonel Weed dispatches a detachment of 25 British Indian Army troops to investigate, led by three sergeants of the Royal Engineers: MacChesney, Cutter, and Ballantine, long-time friends and veteran campaigners. Although they are a disciplinary headache for their colonel, they are the right men to send on a dangerous mission. Accompanying the detail are six Indian camp workers, including regimental ''bhisti'' (water carrier) Gunga Din, who longs to throw off his lowly status and become a British Tommy.
