在这部婆罗多剧情片中,巴拉特（萨尔曼·汗 Salman Khan 饰）成长在一个幸福的家庭之中，父母恩爱，有两个听话的弟弟和一个可爱的妹妹。身为家中的长子，巴拉特十分早熟，深深知道自己肩上所背负的家庭责任。
印巴分治导致了国家陷入了一片骚乱之中，全家人打算搭乘火车离开这片是非之地。和巴拉特一家人有着相同想法的家庭亦有很多，所有的人都像疯了一样试图爬上驶往自由的车厢。在熙熙攘攘的人群里，父亲为了找落单的妹妹，同巴拉特他们分开了。分别之际，父亲叮嘱巴拉特一定要照顾好母亲和弟弟们，他们终将有一天还会再见。为了信守和父亲的约定，巴拉特几乎放弃了之后人生中的一切机会。
'Bharat' is a journey of a man and a nation together. At the cusp of India's birth as an independent nation, a family makes an arduous journey to freedom. However, this freedom comes at a cost. An eight-year-old boy, Bharat, makes a promise to his father that he will keep his family together no matter what--a promise that he keeps over the next 60 years of his life, despite each decade throwing a new set of challenges at him--some humorous, some thrilling, some romantic, and some life-threatening. His resilience, loyalty and a never dying spirit mirror the fundamental qualities of our nation--Bharat. Interestingly, the movie is an official adaptation of Korean film 'An Ode to My Father (2014), which depicted modern Korean history from the 1950s to the present day through the life of an ordinary man.
印度的七十年变迁。
