== Plot == General Dong is the evil dictator of the fictional country, Dongrila. He has kidnapped dozens of school girls and plans to use them as suicide bombers to bomb populated areas in India. He even puts some girls into his personal harem, pushing the remaining ones into prostitution and using them for illegal organ trade. He also carried out the assassination of the chief of the Indian Army, General Sinha. One day, while out for a seaside trip with his daughter, Major Krishna Rao, an officer in the Indian Army, happens to notice an island with his daughter and they find a schoolgirl escaping someone. They try to take her on the boat, but she dies. After leaving Dolly with his trusted servant, Major Rao creeps forward and sees Dong ordering his men to do away with those kids. He calls Dong a clown and other names, and overpowers him, though getting shot in his arm in the process. Making all the girls board the two boats, he takes Dong, tied up on board, but then Dong's men arrive there after abducting Dolly, they manage to free Dong from the chamber. Dong challenges major Rao to come to Dongrila and rescue his daughter within the next year, 12 months from that very day. He chants an eerie verse and cuts off one of Krishna Rao's legs.
