The story of Captain Balram Singh Mehta of India’s 45 Cavalry regiment who, along with his siblings, fought on the eastern front during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971. Named after the Russian amphibious war tank “PT-76”, which floats on water like an empty ‘pippa’ (tin) of ghee, the film traces Mehta's coming-of-age as he steps up to prove himself in a war to liberate Bangladesh.

"A decently well made movie, even if predictable at times. Shows a key chapter in Indian history that proved instrumental in the creation of the nation of Bangladesh, seen throgh the eyes of a family consisting of 3 siblings (2 brothers and a sister) who all participate in the military in varying capacities. I really respect the focus on the family bond in this film, not to mention avoiding the jingoism trap that is often easy to fall into with a film of this subject matter. Solid background score by A. R. Rahman as well."
