Beyond A Broken Bridge is a poignant tale of resilience, love, and loss set against the tumultuous backdrop of pre-Independence India, World War II, and the Partition of 1947. Ratan Arya, a gifted engineer, rises from poverty, but his life is shattered by war and betrayal. As he flees Japanese bombings in Burma with his friend Mansur and the courageous Fiza, a medical student, bonds are tested and hearts are broken. But as the Partition tears the nation apart, Ratan's fight to protect Fiza and salvage hope leads to a haunting finale—where a broken bridge symbolises love lost and a destiny forever altered. Rich in historical depth and emotion, this is a gripping story of survival, sacrifice, and the enduring scars of conflict.
A nation on the brink. A love against all odds. A life shaped by fate.
