Hindustan Ki Kasam (1973) is another war film directed by Chetan Anand, and centered around Operation Cactus Lilly during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Anand, who had previously directed the popular war film Haqeeqat (1964) about the Sino-Indian War, faced high audience expectations for this new project. However, Hindustan Ki Kasam was less commercial in nature, adopting a more documentary-style approach to depicting the Indian Air Force's (IAF) role in the 1971 conflict, particularly in the western sector. There were indeed rumors circulating at the time about a romantic relationship between Chetan Anand and Priya Rajvansh, who had earlier played the titular role of Heer. This speculation, combined with some critiques of Priya Rajvansh's acting, contributed to the film's underperformance.

हिंदुस्तान की कसम (1973) के निर्देशक भी चेतन आनंद थे, जो इससे पहले हक़ीक़त (1964) जैसी यादगार युद्ध फ़िल्म बना चुके थे। आनंद की यह फ़िल्म 1971 के भारत-पाकिस्तान युद्ध के समय भारत की ओर से हुए 'ऑपरेशन कैक्टस लिली' के घटनाक्रम पर आधारित है। इससे पहले भारत-चीन युद्ध पर इतनी लोकप्रिय और क्लासिक मानी जाने वाली फ़िल्म बना चुके चेतन आनंद की इस नई युद्ध फ़िल्म के प्रति दर्शकों के मन में उम्मीदों और अपेक्षाओं का बड़ा पहाड़ खड़ा था। पर हिंदुस्तान की कसम अपनी प्रकृति से उस किस्म की व्यावसायिक फ़िल्म नहीं थी जिसका एकमात्र लक्ष्य टिकट खिड़की पर ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा पैसा कमाना हो। इस फ़िल्म में 1971 के युद्ध में पश्चिमी कमान पर भारतीय वायु सेना की भूमिका पर फोकस था और अधिक प्रामाणिकता हासिल करने के लिए फ़िल्म दस्तावेज़ी फ़िल्म शैली का इस्तेमाल कर रही थी। कुछ ही समय पहले चेतन आनंद की हीर रांझा (1970) में हीर की मुख्य भूमिका निभाने वाली नायिका प्रिया राजवंश और निर्देशक आनंद के बीच रोमांस की बातें भी फ़िल्म की रिलीज़ के वक्त हवा में तैर रही थीं। फ़िल्म की टिकट खिड़की पर नाकामयाबी के पीछे कई कारण गिने गए जिनमें दर्शकों की बदलती पसंद, पर्दे पर नायक-नायिका की मज़बूत जोड़ी न बनना, चेतन आनंद के प्रिया राजवंश के...
