Shamshera

In the final act the story jumps twenty‑five years forward to reveal Balli, Shamshera’s son, grown into a restless rebel who longs to become a police officer. When he finally confronts the treacherous officer Shudh Singh, Balli is forced to endure the same cruelty his father suffered, learning that Shamshera’s “cowardice” was a ruse to protect his family and tribe. Armed with this truth, Balli swears to finish what his father began.

Following his father’s secret route, Balli climbs the fortress wall, plunges into the well and discovers the hidden tunnel. He escapes, and with the help of his mentor Pir Baba and his love‑interest Sona, he gathers the surviving Khamerans who have been living in hiding. Together they begin raiding the wealthy town of Kaza, earning the nickname “Shamshera” once more.

The new British General, alarmed by these robberies, learns that Balli plans to steal a royal crown at an upcoming wedding. Balli executes the heist, seizing the crown and using it as leverage: he will return it only if the General promises to free the Khamerans. The General agrees, but Shudh Singh plots to betray both sides, planning to kill the British troops, claim the crown for himself and present himself as the saviour.

When Shudh Singh’s forces move in, the hidden Khamerans emerge from the fortress, inspired by Pir Baba’s revelation of Shamshera’s true sacrifice. They burst through the gates and fight alongside Balli, overwhelming the police. In the climax Balli captures Shudh Singh and hangs him from the very tree where his father once dangled, completing a grim but poetic revenge.

With the crown handed back to the General—who spared Sona’s life—Balli secures the promised release of his people. The freed Khamerans rally behind their new leader, riding out of the fortress with hope of a dignified future, while the once‑oppressive regime is left humbled by the very rebels it tried to crush.
