re committed to violent rebellion. The rebels have acquired a trainload of dynamite and the results are catastrophic. All the while, Ava is caught in the middle, torn between the two sides of her birthright. Her relationship with Granger is contentious through most of the film but her efforts to establish a bond with an Indian man who loves her are equally troubled. He wants her to adopt his Sikh religion and she tries very hard. She feels that she doesn’t belong in either reality. When she kills a British officer who tried to rape her, she is tormented with guilt. The film ends in a confusion of courtroom drama, complicated romance, and a frantic train chase to prevent an assassination attempt on Gandhi. Granger wants Ava to come back to England with him but she wants to stay in India and be herself. He vows to return.
