Kisna is a Hindi film that was released in 2005, starring Vivek Oberoi [who plays the title role], Antonia Bernath, and Isha Sharvani. The musical film is set in the British India of the tumultuous 1940s when Indian nationalists fighting for the countrys independence rose up as one, urging the British Raj to leave. It is a love story about two people who are torn between Karma [the noble deed] and Dharma [the duty]. The film has two veteran composers, A. R. Rahman and Ismail Darbar; the lyrics were written by Javed Akhtar. This film also marks Amrish Puris final performance. The film, however, did not perform well at the box office.
Kisna befriends a British girl named Katherine [Bernath], and then shields her from an enraged mob of nationalists including Kisnas own uncle and brother. Katherine is the young daughter of a ruthless British collector. Kisna takes it upon himself to escort Katherine to the safety of the British High Commission in New Delhi, who will arrange for her to board a ship home. A tender attraction develops between Kisna and Katherine during the journey. Latchmi [Shravani], Kisnas Indian fiancée, forms the third point in an emotional triangle involving the Indo-British romantic pair.
