This is a story of 10 men. 10 old men with a glorious past, a dark present, and
no future.... 17 years ago, these same men were Brave Soldiers - confident,
deadly, and very proud. Commanded by Col. Krishna Kant, their formidable
battalion was the honour of the Indian Army. And then, one fateful night... a
moment of human weakness of the part of Col. Krishna Kant... and mission went
horribly wrong. That one incident changed their lives completely, driving them
off the rails. Today, they are just a bunch of washouts, each one at a dead end
in their lives. Now, 17 years later, they have a second chance... A desperate
mission... It can give them their redemption... or Death! It all began with a
knock on Col. Krishna KantŐs door. There stood Sandhya, tragedy in her eyes,
defiance in her stance, and a heavy burden on her young shoulders. The
horrifying spectre of the public slaughter of her idealistic father still fresh
in her mind, she appealed to the colonel for help. A reluctant Krishna Kant,
batting his own tragic past, was moved by the spirit of this helpless girl. And
incredible mission was born... Jageera the megalomaniac; the sadistic dacoit,
who has brutalised the villagers of Devdurg, grinding their dignity under his
heel. the government is obviously helpless. Wily the utterly ruthless, he is the
kind of enemy that all good men would want to vanquish... but none can. And so
begins the biggest challenge of their lives - their toughest test - mission
CHINA-GATE. Had they taken on a mission that could only end in their own
destruction? Will they ensuing fire engulf the soldiers themselves? China Gate
is the story of their trials, their plans... their joys... their loyalty and
betrayal, their triumphs... and deadly reversals.
