Saat Hindustani portrays the story of seven Indians who attempt to liberate Goa from the Portuguese colonial rule.
A Muslim poet Anwar Ali (Amitabh Bachchan) from Bihar and five other men, all belonging from different religions and parts of India, join their seventh comrade Maria (Shehnaz Vahanvaty), a native of Portuguese-occupied Goa, to raise nationalist sentiments in the state by hoisting Indian flags on Portuguese forts and buildings.
