Lakshya is a coming of age film set in the times of 1999 Kargil War. While Hrithik Roshan played the role of Karan Shergill, who goes from being an aimless young man to a courageous army officer, Preity Zinta played a journalist, Romila Dutta, who did war reporting in Lakshya.'Lakshya' didn't perform well at the box office at the time of the release but later gained cult status.
