You look very happy, Captain.

Yes, sir.

Sir, saluting the Indian Flag
at Bana Post in Siachen...

is the biggest dream of my life.

Why?

Sir, Siachen is the crown of India.

The world's highest...

and coldest battleground.

Since childhood,
I've been hearing from Papa.

He was also in the army, wasn't he?

Yes.

He retired as a Colonel.

Sir, my wife is calling.

- Can I take this?
- Of course.

Thank you.

Hi, Vidya.

'Hi, Samar. How are you?'

I'm fine, how are you?

'Good. Where have you reached?'

Yes, I'm travelling
with Major Srinivasan.

Can I call you in half an hour
when I reach the base camp?

'No, Tanvi insisted,
so, I thought...'

- 'Hello, Papa.'
- Hi, my angel, how are you?

'I am fine. Why didn't you send
me a photo from Bana Post?'

Dear, I promise you,
as soon as I reach there

I will click a photo with the
Indian Flag and send it to you.

Okay, dear. I'm cutting the call,
I'll speak to you later. Bye.

'Not bye, Papa.'

Sorry... Sorry...
Not bye. 'Jai Hind.'

'Loudly, Papa. What is this?'

- Jai Hind.
- 'Jai Hind.'

My daughter, sir.

She's always more excited than me

to see my photo
with the Indian Flag.

How old is she?

She's seven.

Just a sec, sir.

She's beautiful.

She's my angel, sir.

She's autistic,
but, she's a wonderful singer.

I really love her, sir.

When you meet her,
when you come home...

you'll know what
I'm talking about, sir.

What is her name?

Tanvi.

But, I call her...

Tanvi the Great.

This is done,
dinner, lunch and snacks.

Tanvi.

Tanvi.

Tanvi!

We are getting late, dear.

And, I'm getting ready.

Did you turn off the geyser?

I turned off the geyser,
shut the windows

turned off the tap and kept
the food out for the birds.

Very good.

And, I don't feel like going.

Sweetheart.

Mumma, changing.

But, only two minutes. Okay?

Three minutes.

Mumma, Tanvi is ready.

So, tell me, where is Tanvi going?

Tanvi is going to Lansdowne,
which is in Uttarakhand

and its original name
was Kaludanda.

It sounds like the stick
of a man named Kalu.

Funny, isn't it?

Later, it was named after
one viceroy, Lord Lansdowne.

But, this name is wrong.

Because the land is not down.

It is 1780 metres high
from sea level.

Take a breath, Tanvipedia!

- Tanvi?
- Tanvi.

Tanvi!

Um, why are we going there?

I have to stay at
Col Pratap Raina's home

for some months.

Col Raina is my Grandpa (Dadu).

But, a distant Grandpa, I think.

What? No, no...

Yes. We haven't met him
in several years.

Because, a few relationships
do not rely on meetings.

Re-ly!

- Rely!
- Yes.

That means dependent.

Dependent.

Like, I am dependent.

No, my dear.

Don't ever say that again.

But, I am.

I can't tie my shoelaces.

Because?

Because, I'm different.

But...

- But, no less.
- Exactly.

You are Captain Samar
Pratap Raina's daughter.

You're going to live in Lansdowne
alone, without me, soo many months.

How can you be dependent?

Huh?

You're a brave girl.
Exactly like your Papa.

Was Papa brave?

Yes.

Samar was very brave.

And, also very handsome.

Thanks, dear.

Permission to hug?

"One, two, one."

"Let me count my breaths.
One, two, one."

"I move ahead. Here I go."

"Go..."

"One, two, one."

"I choose a hundred paths."

"One, two, one."

"I won't turn back. Here I go."

"Go..."

"Don't come into my memories
until I call you."

"Don't forget me
without telling me."

"Let the Wi-Fi stay strong
between our hearts."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Think of all the good things."

"The world will seem
like a lovely place."

"Speak truthfully."

"Then the world
will listen to you."

"Every time you see a butterfly."

"You will remember Tanvi."

"You will get me if you want me."

"But I'll fly away
if you touch me."

"I'll fly off to
where my heart desires."

"Because I'm just
like a little butterfly."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Hey!

Hey, what is it?

Why did you stop me?

You...

Come on, let's show him!

Hey! Are you crazy, Uncle?

Why did you throw it in the car?

This is Lansdowne.

An army base camp.

Garbage isn't thrown
on the streets here.

Hey, oldie!

Have you gone mad?
Do you own the streets?

Yes, I do.

- You...!
- Catch him! You!

God bless you.

Tanvi.

I'll go ahead in my car.
You can follow me.

Yes.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Please smile a little.

I am smiling.

You're not.

Peperomia variegated
is a key holder.

Meaning?

Mumma, the key is
in the peperomia plant.

Come.

Col Raina.

May I also come in?

Of course.

This is your Papa's house, Tanvi.

And, I'm not Col Raina,
I'm your Grandpa.

You don't need anybody's
permission in this house.

Thank you, Col Raina.

Nice 'storehouse'.

It's 'house', Tanvi.

Oops. Sorry. Wrong word.

Come, let me show you
to your room, Tanvi.

Mumma, I'll carry my own suitcase.

Sure.

That's your room.

I've kept Samar's belongings
in this room.

This is not a good room, Mumma!

This is not...
This is not a good room!

This room is not good!

I don't want to stay here!

- This is not a good room!
- What is it?

- What happened, my dear?
- No, this is not a good room!

- Tanvi!
- No, can't do!

I don't-I don't want to stay here!
This is not a good room!

- Tanvi!
- This is not a good room!

- I don't... Mumma...
- Calm down.

Nothing is visible
outside the window in that room

so, why is there a window
in that room, Mumma?

I don't want to stay here!
This is not a good room!

- Tanvi, my dear!
- This is not a good room!

- My dear, look...
- This is not a good room!

- I know.
- I don't...

This is my room.
You stay in this room.

I will take your room. Okay?
Huh? Calm down.

This is a stupid room, Col Raina!

Stupid, stupid room!

This... I...

Mumma, we left Cheenu here!

Why did you leave her here?

I-I missed her.

- Sorry. I'm sorry.
- No.

No, that's not fair!

My mistake, I'm very sorry.

Go and have a look at your room.

- Go and see if you like it.
- No.

- She will stay with us now.
- Yes, she will.

Go and check out the room.

Okay?

Okay, room.

Actually, Papa...

uh, it's a new place, so...

But, just-just give her time.
She'll get used to it.

I will stay in this room.

I'm sorry, my dear. I...

No, Papa... You...

I couldn't make too much, but...

whatever I did make, is here.

Even then,
this is quite a bit, Papa.

Did you make this all by yourself?

Yes.

I think, as far as possible, we
should do all our work ourselves.

I don't like to be dependent.

'Rely. Rely.'

Wow! She speaks excellent Hindi.

Having clear speech is very
important when you sing, Tanvi.

This will make Raza Saab
very happy.

Do sing for me too.

That's enough, Tanvi.

Eat your food first
and then you can sing.

Yes, Mumma.

- Actually, she's a vegan.
- I know, I know.

But, all this is vegetarian.

There's a difference between
vegan and vegetarian.

- Vegan is like...
- Vegan is like vegetarian pro max.

- Okay.
- Actually, she...

is only allowed to have a
lactose-free, gluten-free diet.

That's why, she's vegan.

Where is the microwave?

We've never used
a microwave in this house.

- What is she doing?
- Tanvi?

Mumma, I want to eat warm pancakes.

- Dear, that's not...
- Hey.

I got it.

She wants to eat something
warm and sweet.

I will give her some pudding.

It's warm and sweet.

Papa, she can't eat this pudding.

One spoon is not going to harm her.

Here you go, Tanvi, my dear.

This is your grandmother's
favourite recipe.

Have one spoon, you will like it.

Go on, try just one spoon.

- Eat it.
- I don't want it.

This is the problem
with parents these days!

They let the kids
behave as they want!

What is the problem
with this pudding?

She does eat pudding.

But, one that's made
with almond milk.

What is this almond milk,
almond milk?

This trend of almond milk
has begun now, hasn't it?

Were kids not healthy and strong
before almond milk was invented?

Do you think Samar
liked everything? No!

But, Kaveri insisted
that he eats everything.

And, if he refused to eat,
she would let him starve!

And finally, Samar would eat.

Because, he had a good upbringing.

Tanvi is not Samar.

'Different, but no less!'

'To the world's best mother!'

Almond milk is available
in Lansdowne?

No.

I squeezed it out of...

an almond tree.

Thank you.

'Dr. Raina, I can't tell you
how glad I am'

'that you accepted our invitation'

'to join our
Global Expansion Programme.'

'Everyone at World Autism
Foundation knows who you are.'

'And, we love
your articles and blogs.'

Now, this gives me strength.

'You are one of the best experts
of Autism in India.'

'And, I'm sure, you coming
together with Michael'

'for this expansion programme'

'with World Autism Foundation'

'will make a huge difference'

'to the lives of millions
of Autistic children'

'across the globe.'

'So, I'll see you in New York.'

Bye-bye.

'Bye.'

Both of you get ready quickly.

We will have to leave on time.

Raza Saab is a little unhinged.

What is 'unhinged'?

Eccentric.

What is eccentric?

Dear, please get dressed quickly.

I'll eat my breakfast in my room.

Be loud.
Be fast. Be like the storm!

Be loud.
Be fast. Be like the storm!

Be loud.
Be fast. Be like the storm!

Be loud.
Be fast. Be like the storm!

Be loud.
Be fast. Be like the storm!

Be loud.
Be fast. Be like the storm!

Be loud.
Be fast. Be like the storm!

"The venturesome heart"

"won't listen to you."

What did you write?

Ma-
Man-chala (venturesome), Man-chala.

Not man-chala, it's 'manchala'.

But, Raza Saab, this has
M-A-N, MAN, written here.

If M-A-N is man, make it M-U-N.

That will become 'moon'.

So, do this.

Why don't you
write it in Hindi itself?

- Yes, Raza Saab!
- They think they are Englishmen!!

What is your intention
behind coming here, sir?

We spoke over the phone.

Brigadier Joshi gave me
your reference

for my granddaughter,
Tanvi's, music classes.

You are an elderly person.

At least, you can call it
mausiki (melodic music).

Or, call it soulful music.

We're here for mausiki classes.

Come. Please come in.

Where is Tanvi?

I have willingly come here.

Because, I love music.

Music gives us peace...

and, joy.

And, Mumma says,
music does not let us slay.

- Slay?
- Uh, stray, dear.

Oh! Sorry, wrong word.

Stray.

She's come to learn?

- Will you sit?
- No, I'm fine.

Please don't stand there this way.

Please take a seat.
You need not take off your shoes.

Oh!

Question, Raza Saab.

Go ahead.

Why is this frame empty?

Why is there no photo in it?

These are those stars from
the world of music...

which will keep shining
for thousands of years.

And, I too, wanted to shine.

You didn't shine?

You-you sit down.
Don't keep hovering.

This is a mausiki class.

- One more question, Raza Saab.
- Go ahead.

Whose mausi
are you talking about?

Mausiki!

It means, music.

Music! Huh?

What was your name again?

He is Colonel Raina

and he says you're eccentric.

It's eccentric.

Col Raina, it is eccentric. Hmm?

Everyone says that.

Actually...

Actually, she's autistic.

It's good that she is artistic.

But, that doesn't mean
she forgets etiquette.

Discipline.

You belong to an army family.
You must understand discipline.

Okay. Let's practice.

Hmm? Do what?

Practice.

Practice.

Hmm.

"The venturesome heart"

"won't listen to you."

"The venturesome heart"

"will do as it pleases."

"It doesn't fear"

"the hardships of tomorrow."

"It thrives in
the comfort of today."

"The venturesome heart"

"won't listen to you."

"The venturesome heart"

"will do as it pleases."

"It doesn't fear"

"the hardships of tomorrow."

"It thrives in
the comfort of today."

"The venturesome heart"

"won't listen to you."

"The venturesome heart"

"will do as it pleases."

"Up in the sky, so very high!"

"Oh, birdie, how do you fly?"

"Where did you get
these wings from?"

"Take me far away."

"Yellow and blue, how do you do?"

"How do I hear the secrets
of these colours?"

"Hello, my friend. Is this the end?"

"Or has this story begun?"

"The venturesome heart"

"won't listen to you."

"The venturesome heart"

"will do as it pleases."

"The venturesome heart"

"won't listen to you."

"The venturesome heart"

"will do as it pleases."

'Cheenu,
you want to sit in the front?'

Cheenu wants to sit ahead.

- Tanvi! Tanvi, don't do that!
- Oh!

- Tanvi, sit down properly!
- Tanvi, please sit down.

- Don't do that! Tanvi!
- Tanvi, sit down!

Sorry, Papa.

It's her favourite childhood doll.

- Postpone your trip to the USA.
- Why?

Oh wow! Quercus Oblongata!

Can't you see that?

She doesn't like the room.

She doesn't like the food. In fact,
she heats her food under a bulb.

I had to bear Raza Saab's taunts
because of her.

And, all this in only two days,
while you are here.

What will she do for
nine months after you leave?

That's why, I'm saying...

stay here for a few days.

You can leave once she's settled.

Mumma! Such a big 'chame-lion'!

- Come!
- Yes, dear.

Papa, it's an international event.

The dates cannot change for me
at the last minute.

Vidya! You had left Lansdowne in a
similar rush after Samar's demise.

Don't make that mistake again.

Mistake?

Taking Tanvi to
Delhi was a mistake?

- It wasn't a mistake.
- Of course.

Oh, my God!

It's not like that, Papa.

You are Tanvi's grandfather.

Tanvi's father's house is here.

Yes. That house...

which you didn't visit even once

after her grandmother passed away.

Annona reticulata!
There are so many!

Why would I care about
the names of these trees?

Don't you understand
she's not normal?

- She's...
- Abnormal?

Are you trying to say
my daughter is abnormal?

I did not say that.

Okay, you tell me.

What is the opposite of normal?
Tell me!

In any case, you can't
leave right now. That's it!

Mumma! Say it, Cheenu Raina!

Tanvi, will you please keep quiet
and sit in the car now?!

Perhaps you are forgetting...

that your granddaughter
is autistic, Colonel Raina.

But, neither have you
accepted her autism...

Nor understood it.

But, according to you...

Tanvi's autism is only my problem.

She's only my responsibility.

No one else's responsibility. Right?

So, fine!

I won't go to the USA.

I'm sorry, dear,
I screamed at you today.

It's okay, Mumma.

I'm fine.

You're upset with Colonel Raina?

- Yes.
- Why?

Because, I love you!

I'm sorry, I'm late.

I was firefighting.

French philosopher Dalton said...

'Mouth can lie'

'but, eyes can't.'

What is the matter?
Is everything okay?

Nothing is okay.

I told Vidya to cancel her USA trip.

Why?

Because,
I can't handle Tanvi the way she is.

I'm used to a certain way
of living here.

I am used to living
a life of freedom.

I agree with you.

There's just one problem.

Is this freedom or loneliness?

Which philosopher said that?

Japanese philosopher Keiko Nakahara.

So, will philosophers teach us
the meaning of family?

More than half of them
don't even have families.

But, you do have.

Colonel.

The meaning of a family
isn't caring only about oneself.

You have to care
about the family too.

I was being selfish.

After Kaveri passed...

I didn't realise when...

my loneliness

turned from a compulsion
to a choice.

I think I am disturbing you. Sorry.

I...

Just writing a mail...

to inform the team
in USA that I'm not going.

Don't write this email, please.

I know, you...

are upset with Tanvi's Grandpa.

Please think of me
as Samar's Papa, and forgive me.

Hmm?

I used to handle
an entire battalion.

Don't worry.
I will handle her, as well.

You'll handle her!

I mean, I will manage her.

You'll manage her!

You tell me the right word
if you know it already.

Discover!

You will discover her!

I'll discover her.

Colonel Raina,
Mumma is going by flight

AJ 888 from New Delhi
at 3:45 am tomorrow.

Boarding time, 2:45 am.

And it will take off from Terminal 3
of IGI airport of New Delhi

and, land at JFK airport, New York.

And, you'll get as much
food on the flight

as I had eaten at
Uncle Nikki's wedding.

- Funny, isn't it?
- Very funny.

And, I will be the most disciplined
student in Raza Saab's class.

Good.

One more thing.

East or West, Mumma is the best!

Oops!

Won't she miss you?

She doesn't know what it means
to miss someone.

Is a mother saying that
or an autism expert?

I don't know.

Thank you, dear.

Permission to hug?

Shall I leave, Papa?

Have a very successful trip.

Thanks.

I am going for a run.

Will you join me?

Mumma says...

'We mustn't run away
from our problems.'

'We must face them
with contamination.'

Contamination?

You mean, determination.

- Oops!
- Do you want to come?

No.

Tanvi, I'll be back in two hours.

Hello, Colonel Raina.

- What is this?
- House.

- What was it before?
- A storehouse.

And, what does it
look like to you now?

A house!

You can't do that.

I proved I can.

Earlier, there was no plan here,
nor any plants.

Now, there is a plan,
and plants too.

But, there's enough space
outside to place plants.

What was the need
to bring them inside?

Colonel Raina,
plants give us oxygen, right?

Yes. - They give rise
to new ideas, right?

And, Mumma says that plants also
helps our environment. We feel good.

- Tanvi, Tanvi, Tanvi!
- We feel lighter.

You didn't even ask me before

bringing this green revolution
into the house!

But, Colonel Raina, you had said

I don't need permission
in this house.

That special offer is over now.

Now, you won't do anything in this
house without asking me. Okay?

- Okay, Colonel Raina.
- Yes.

Do we have to go
to Raza Saab's class?

Yes, we do.

- At what time?
- 11 am.

What shall I wear?

How can I say?

You just said, not to do
anything without your permission.

What shall I eat?

What do you want to eat?

Pancakes!

I don't know how to make pancakes.

No problem.

The recipe to make pancakes.

You need flour, gluten-free flour,
and then, you need milk.

You mix it together.
You whirr it around.

And then, you add baking powder,
you add salt and sugar.

And then, you mix it tog-
And, you have to make it round.

You make it round, and then, you
add strawberries, blueberries...

Mm, no, I don't like cranberries.

And then, you put T, in honey,
on it. Colonel Rai-

"The sky wonders!"

"This land questions!"

"Can you tell me..."

"Who this magical angel is!"

"Doesn't accept defeat!
Holds no grudges!"

"Fixes all broken stars!"

"She is unique!"

"Connected to all!"

"Can you tell me..."

"Who this magical angel is!"

“Anything is possible”

“Nothing is difficult”

“Once she sets her heart on it!”

“Strangers become...”

“Dear to her”

“Once her heart accepts them!”

“She flows ahead like water!”

“She follows her heart
wherever it leads her!”

“She knows no ends!”

“She lets go of all that is broken!”

“The sky wonders!”

“This land questions!”

“Can you tell me...”

“Who this magical angel is!”

Welcome to
the World Autism Foundation.

WAF are committed and devoted

to creating a better world for
autistic children and their parents.

And, we are confident

of achieving this goal
with your support.

The more the applause,
the greater the expectation, eh?

But, after achieving significantly
positive results in North America

I was encouraged to try and
help millions of autistic people

in other regions
of the world, as well.

One in every 100 children
in the world, is autistic

according to
the World Health Organisation.

Now, this is shocking to the world,
but...

sadly, not surprising to us.

So, tell me your experience.

How do you define the word autism

to people in your country?

- May I?
- Yes, please.

It's a neurological condition
that affects

how people interact with others.

Uh, it is a disorder.

Because, people with autism

find it tough
to communicate with other people.

Okay. Anyone else?

Vidya from India, please.

- I'm all ears.
- Thank you, Dr Simmons.

I find that there is
a little room for improvement.

Hmm! Oh!
How... how much room?

I know you've been running this

wonderful organisation
single-handedly

for the past 17 years.

What's your point?

No uh, sugarcoating.

No, I meant, uh...

This module right now is all logic.

We need to dial in
some emotional quotient.

There is no set
formula for parenting.

And,
especially for autistic children.

Autistic people think differently.

Hence, their reactions
are also very different.

This is not a disability.

The ability to think differently
is what we call Autism.

When, in fact, it's a superpower.

Very good.

Really impressive.

Uh, Steffi. She is going to
take you through the

do's and don'ts over
the next nine months. Um...

Thank you.

Uh, I'll see you very shortly.
Thank you.

Tanvi, hurry up!

Colonel Raina, why do you
wake up so early in the morning?

I'm not even dressed properly.

I must have definitely
forgotten something.

Did you take the shopping list?

I remember it.

Did you take a shopping bag?

We'll get one from
the Army Canteen.

Oh! But, plastic bags
are not good for the environment.

Plastic bags aren't even
allowed in Lansdowne.

Oh, Colonel Raina!

- Colonel Raina.
- Wait a minute!

Why don't you go running
every morning for fitness?

At your age, I walked 10 km at IMA.

- You measured it?
- Measured what?

10-10 kilometres.

You do this. Go home.

I'll get the stuff myself. Okay? Go!

No. Colonel Raina!

These same packets
are on a lower shelf too.

I think, you're aiming higher.

Yes.

Oh!

- Should I tell you a secret?
- Hmm.

These store people...

keep the stuff that is going
to expire soon in the front.

So that, we pick them up first.

And, the ones expiring later

are placed higher or in the back.
Yes.

- Shall I tell you a secret?
- Yes, yes.

This is an Army Canteen.
All that doesn't happen here.

- By the way, I'm...
- Brigadier Joshi?

- Oh!
- Hey!

What made you come shopping today?

I'm Tanvi. And he's Colonel Raina.

- What brings you here today?
- Mukund is coming.

So, I'm buying some
of the things he likes.

- Who's Mukund?
- His son.

Oh. Colonel Raina has also
come here to buy what I like.

Right, Colonel Raina?

Oh, tell me,
why do you call him Colonel Raina?

Isn't he your Grandpa?

Yes. But, a distant Grandpa.

Tanvi, if your shopping is done,
shall we leave?

Give my love to Mukund.

Bye, Tiger.

Huh? Who's Tiger?

My nickname.

Everyone in the army has nicknames.

Colonel Raina, did you have
a nickname too? - No, I didn't.

Pratap had a nickname too.

- Patty.
- Fatty!

Not Fatty, it was Patty.
Patty with a P.

Patty.

Tiger is a better nickname.

Ah! You have good taste,
young lady.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day.

Please come.

Hmm? And, get Tanvi also.

Yes.

- Okay, let's go.
- Bye, Tiger.

- Bye.
- You can't call him Tiger.

- But, Tiger is a better nickname.
- I know that! But still!

This Memorial Day is
a tribute from our regiment

to the bravery and sacrifices
of our soldiers.

These warriors are no more.

But, we will always
remember their sacrifice.

Hence, like every year

this year too,
we'll invite the family members

of these brave men on stage

and, honour them.

First is Major Ajay Joshi.

- I request his mother...
- What are you doing?

- Mrs. Karuna Joshi...
- Celebrating.

- This is not a celebration.
- to please come...

This is in memory of those who
gave up their lives for the nation.

And, the lady
with Brigadier Joshi...

is his mother.

Mumma!

And now, recipient of
the distinguished Mahavir Chakra

Lieutenant Colonel Raman Singh.

His brother,
Subedar Major Nandkishore.

Rifleman Balwant Chandra Rawat.

Now, in memory of the
brave warriors of our regiment

we will observe
one minute of silence.

- Tanvi.
- Excuse me.

Yes?

I want to ask something to Tiger.

Yes, go ahead.

What is the definition of bravery?

What is bravery?

Beautiful question.

Thank you, Tiger.

Before I answer your question

can I ask you a question?

- Hmm. Go ahead.
- Oh.

Are you brave?

No. I feel afraid.

That's very honest.

A brave person is not only someone

who is never afraid.

A brave person is also someone
who fights and defeats fear

and, fulfils their duty.

So, are... are you brave?

I think so.

Colonel Raina, are you brave too?

So, everyone who got medals
were all brave?

Yes. Not only them...

every person who wears the uniform

is brave.

Every person who wears
the uniform is brave.

My Papa wore this uniform too.

I think, he was also brave.

Right, Col Raina?

So, why didn't he receive anything?

Raise rifles!

Lower rifles!

let's go.

Since the last 15 years...

all of us plant a tree each
in the name of martyred soldiers

who gave their lives
for the country.

- Papa is the tallest.
- Hmm?

Colonel Raina, Papa is the tallest!

Permission to hug.

Hmm.

Col Raina! I love Lansdowne!

Colonel Raina! Run, run!

Shall we go to the temple?

I... I don't go to temples.

Why?

Because, most people go to
temples to ask God for something.

And, I don't want anything from God.

First, God snatched
my son from me...

then, my wife died,
grieving for her son.

And, you are like this.

How am I?

- You're different, aren't you?
- Yes.

Mumma also says, I'm different.

But, no less.

Papa used to go to the temple?

Are you going to the temple or not?

I'll go, but not today.

I'll go when I have
a big reason to thank God.

'Happy birthday to you!'

'You like it?
What will you name it?'

- 'Cheenu.
- 'Cheenu?'

'What do you think?
Son or daughter?'

'A daughter.'

'I've thought of a name too. Tanvi.'

'Beautiful, delicate,
just like her mother.'

'What's your favourite
holiday destination?'

'The favourite holiday
destination of all army men'

'is home.'

'Amazing.'

'But, there must be some place
that you want to visit.'

'There is one place.'

'Siachen.'

Siachen.

'Because, there are
many army postings'

'but, no posting is
as high as Siachen.'

'The world's highest posting.'

'Only the lucky few get it.'

'And, that is why...'

'I'm jealous of everyone
who goes to Siachen.'

'Wonder when I'll get
a chance to go there.' - Siachen.

'One day, I'll go to Siachen too'

'and, I'll salute
the Indian Flag with pride.'

'Roger that, Captain.'

- 'Mumma!'
- 'Coming!'

'Yes, Shekhar? What's up, buddy?'

'What are you saying?'

'Siachen? Me?!'

'Vidya! Vidya, listen!'

'Okay... I'm calling you, bye!'

- 'Siachen!'
- Yes, Siachen.

'Papa, I'll come to Siachen too.'

'Alright! This is your Siachen.'

'What will you say
when you're there?'

'Jai Hind!'

'Hello, Papa. You didn't send
a photo from Bana Post.'

'Dear, I promise you,
the moment I reach, I'll first'

'take a photo with the Indian Flag
and send it to you. Bye.'

'Not bye, Papa!'

- Jai Hind!
- Jai Hind!

Siachen.

You're okay?

Colonel Raina.

To join the Indian Army

you have to apply for CDS exam
conducted by UPSC.

Clear the written exam,
which tests English

Elementary Math
and General Knowledge.

After you qualify,
you'll face an SSB interview

which will involve physical
and psychological tests.

If you clear that,
you will undergo training

and, after that, you will be
assigned as an Indian Army Officer!

To give me this information,
you're knocking...

on my door at 2 in the morning?
I know all this.

I'm a retired Army Officer.

Colonel Raina, I have decided.

Decided what?

I'm joining the Indian Army!

- What?
- Good night!

Jai Hind!

Tanvi.

Tanvi!

Why are you doing spot jogging
so early in the morning?

- Oh, you noticed?
- It is very noticeable.

Oh, good.

I'm going for a run, with you.

Run with me?

But, when I told you before to
come running, you said that...

uh, we shouldn't run away
from our problems.

Yes.
But, I'm running for a solution.

Solution for what?

I have to join the Indian Army.

I told you last night.

At 2.17 am.
I told you the whole process too.

Maybe you weren't fully awake.
I'll repeat it.

Wait, wait, wait.

You slept late last night,
at 2.17 am?

- Hmm.
- Right?

You must be tired.
Go and take some rest.

No pain, no gain, Colonel Raina.

One has to run
10-10 kms in the army.

You were the one who told me.

I told you a lot of things,
but, that's all you remember.

Okay, no problem. You do this.

Run a little here.

I'll go for my run, and,
I'll see you later.

- Okay, Colonel Raina.
- Good.

- Colonel Raina! Oh, sorry!
- Oh!

- Where are you coming from?
- Shortcut.

- And, you left the house open?
- No!

I closed the main door.

And, I kept the key in
the peperomia variegated plant.

Run, run!

Co Raina, I'm very hungry.

We just started our run.

You're already hungry?

What can we eat?

Where was your first posting?

Pathankot.

Where was your second posting?

Jaisalmer.

Have you ever been
posted in Siachen? - No.

Tanvi, quietly eat your food.
Don’t talk while eating.

We need to use
our mouth while eating.

Funny, isn't it?

'What are you laughing about?'

She came with complete research,
in the middle of the night.

2.17 am, to be precise.

And, she made an eternal vow
in the morning to join the army.

As easily as she takes

these eternal vows,
she forgets them quickly too.

'She cannot focus on
anything except music.'

So, don't stress.

She'll keep giving you
such minor shocks.

Um, Papa, I...

have come to our Director's home
for Sunday brunch.

Yes, okay. Bye.

You take care, Papa. Bye.

I'll pick you up in two hours.

Actually,
you pick me up in just one hour.

But, your classes
are for two hours.

But, there's training
in the evening.

You're again talking
of army training!

Vidya has said that
you've come here to learn music.

Army training is very tough.
It will be difficult for you.

Why? Because, I'm a girl?

That's not the reason, Tanvi,
please!

Then, there can be only one reason.

That, you're a negative man,
Colonel Raina!

This is not about
being negative or positive.

So, why can't I join the army?

Your Papa was in the army.

You were in the army.
Papa was in the army, as well!

I can join too. Simple!

Tanvi!

We have to begin practice.
Hurry up.

They refuse to begin
in your absence.

- Sorry! I'm absent today!
- But, you are present.

I cannot sing today, Raza Saab.
Colonel Raina has made me sad!

He's a negative man!

Colonel Raina is a negative man!

What happened, Mr. Raina?

Mumma says,
to stay away from negative people!

I don't want to talk to you!

I have to join the Indian Army!
He's a negative man!

Be fast! Be strong!
Be like the storm!

Colonel Raina is a negative man.
I have to join the Indian Army!

Today, class is cancelled.

Mumma! Mumma, come back!
Come back!

Not done! This is not done!

I want to join the Indian Army!

I don't want to stay here!
Col Raina is a negative man!

He's a negative man!
I don't want to stay here!

I don't want to stay here!

Want to eat something?

I'm not hungry, Colonel Raina.

I don't want anything!

Tanvi, you may
call me 'Colonel Raina'

but, I am your Grandpa.

I will always be on your side.

But, what you're saying about
the army, that's not possible.

Then, why didn't you stop Papa
from joining the army?

Samar was different.

But, Mumma says,
I am different too.

I'm different, but, no less!

Tanvi.

You can't even cross
the doorstep properly.

How will you do the army training?

Door-doorstop?

Doorstep.

Colonel Raina,
I can't cross the door...

Doorstep. - The doorstep,
because it's an obstacle.

But, an army life is
filled with obstacles.

How will you face them all?

I will face them.

Okay.
First, you cross this obstacle

then, we'll think about
army training too. Okay?

- Understood.
- Good.

Sit.

Door-doorstep.

Tanvi dear.

Before taking physical training,
it's essential to be physically fit.

You haven't eaten
anything since morning.

Shall I cook something for you?

Mumma! Mumma says,
before we start something new

we should eat something sweet.

- I will have pudding.
- Okay, good.

- Made of almond milk.
- Okay.

With figs.

Dried figs.

I don't think we have
figs in the house.

- I'll bring my wallet.
- No, I have more.

- Go, go.
- Okay.

Go, go, go! Figs!

Dried figs.

Doorstop. No.

One, two, jump!

Cross!

Hello, young lady.

Hello, Tiger.

The sugar levels in her body dropped
because of not eating all day.

So, she fainted.

This happened because of your
insistence on joining the army.

Well, see you tomorrow, okay?
Take care.

Bye-bye. Take care.

Doctor, when can we take her?

She can go now. She's fine.

Colonel Raina.

Had I crossed the
doorstop properly?

I don't know, Tanvi.

When I came, you were lying
unconscious on the doorstep.

Okay, I'll sign the
discharge papers, so, you...

- Oh, Tanvi!
- Joking.

Funny, isn't it?

You are crazy!

A new batch has begun
at the Major's Academy.

So, there will be new cases daily.

- So true.
- Hey, is there a doctor here?

Looks like a new recruit.

- What happened to him?
- Let's see.

Let me see your hand.

Looks like a fracture.

There will be an X-ray first,
then, a plaster.

I don't understand, why do they
take admission at the Academy?

Because, Dr. Rashmi Gulati...

they give a 100%
guarantee to clear SSB.

He's not a trainer, he's a Hangman.

Prepare for his X-ray.

Is it painful?

Very!

- Your trainer is really Yamraj?
- Yamraj?

Uh, no no!

- Hangman?
- Hmm. Yes, Hangman.

Yeah, he's tough.

What's the name?

Rajat.

- Rajat Dangwal.
- Tsk!

Not yours, the academy's name.

Major's Academy.

- What's the address?
- Everyone knows.

Hey! What is it?

Let's go.

You guys have willingly come here.

So, I'm gonna tell you this
for the last time.

If anyone wants to leave
the academy, do it right now!

Major sir.

There are 206 bones in the body.
Dangwal only broke one.

Damn lucky chap.

Major Kailash Srinivasan!

Dogra, who the hell is she?

Just throw her out.

Major sir.

- Hello!
- Ssh!

There is only one way out of here
and that is the selection in SSB.

- Understood?
- Yes sir!

Major sir!

Dogra!

Were you explaining
the way back to her?

Why is she still here?

Sir, I tried to convince her,
but, she refuses to listen.

- Why?
- She's adamant, sir.

Adamant?

Stubborn, sir.

Aye! What do you want?

I want to join the Indian Army.

I want to clear the SSB.

Your academy gives a
100% guarantee to clear SSB, right?

Come down.

Can you come here?

- No.
- Okay, okay, I'm coming.

Breathe.

Mumma also says, breathe.

Dogra, run till the shooting range.

Major sir.

Can you run like this?

Like this?

Why the hell are you still here?

Go for your haircuts!

Have water?

Do you like your hair?

Yes.

Mumma says, I look like an angel.

Now, go cut it.

No, no, no. I don't need it.

Thank you.

You can't walk downhill properly.

You can't get your hair cut.

You run like a duck.

The army doesn't need people
who run like ducks.

They need people
who can run like cheetahs.

So, you'll teach me
how to be like a cheetah.

I don't want to
waste my time with you.

There are other academies
in this area.

Go there.

Why me?

You're the best,
Major Kailash Srinivasan.

Retired Indian Army officer.

Recipient of Shaurya Chakra.

Commissioned in Garhwal Rifles
on 22nd February 1995.

You fought the Kargil war
and then joined 102 Brigade

and then, became a Siachen warrior.

In 2010, you,
that is, Major Srinivasan

one captain and truck driver

met with an accident
because of landmine.

Truck number 10C0998P.

No one survived except you,

How do you know all this?

Even the truck's number?

My Papa was in that truck, as well.

Your Papa?

Yes.

Your Papa's name?

Captain Samar Pratap Raina.

'My daughter, Sir.'

'She's my angel, Sir.'

You're Sam's daughter?

'When you meet her, you'll know
what I'm talking about, Sir.'

'What is her name?'

Tanvi?

Come for training tomorrow onwards.

Hmm, yes.

Thank you, sir.

Jai Hind!

Sir.

Was my Papa brave?

Yes, he was very brave.

How do you know?
How are you so sure?

Sir!

You go ahead, Captain! Please!

Sir! Sir!

My leg is broken, Captain!
You go ahead!

Samar!

He was very brave.

Because, he saved my life.

Captain Samar Pratap Raina
saved my life.

He was very brave.

Captain Samar Pratap Raina
saved my life.

Every person who wears the uniform
is brave.

Samar was very brave.

Since the last 15 years,
we plant a tree each

in the name of those soldiers

who sacrificed their lives
for the country.

Jai Hind!

Colonel Raina, hurry up!

But, where are we going?

I will tell you. I will tell you.
Come.

Oh, oh, oh!

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Col Raina, do you have money?

Yes, I do.

Lots of money.

Huh?

What are you going to do here?

- Hello, Uncle.
- Hello.

Oh.

Why are you
looking at these uniforms?

I'm not looking, I'm checking them.

Show me the full set, Uncle.

Why are you checking them?

I have to report tomorrow morning,
Colonel Raina.

Report? Who has to report?

- Me. I have to report.
- Where do you have to report?

At the Major's Academy, which
guarantees 100% selection in SSB.

Which Major's academy?

Major Kailash Srinivasan's Academy.

- Major Kailash Srinivasan?
- See this.

- Just a minute. Nothing, go.
- Okay, sir.

Tanvi, you're not buying
anything from here.

Why? You'll buy it for me
from another shop?

I'm not buying you anything
from any shop.

Oh, you forgot your wallet.
I have money.

No, Tanvi. You're neither
buying anything from here

nor are you reporting anywhere, okay?

But, Major Srinivasan has
selected me himself.

I don't care who selected you!

You're not reporting anywhere, understood?

I have to go there
tomorrow morning for training.

I don't care where you have to go!

You're not going
anywhere ever again!

Understand?!

You are not going to
go anywhere again!

- Remember that!
- Mumma!

What is this nonsense?!

Such childishness!
Why are you going, 'mumma, mumma'?!

Why are you going, 'mumma, mumma'?

Huh?!

Why are you going, 'mumma, mumma'?!

- Mummy!
- Huh?

What?!

Coming!

Come in, sir.

What's cooking, Major?

Sir, you... Please sit.

I haven't come here to sit.

You know who Tanvi Raina is,
don't you?

Samar's daughter.

You've admitted her to your circus.

May I ask, why?

I had no reason to say no, sir.

She's autistic.

I know, sir.

Sir, I'm only giving Tanvi
the chance that she deserves.

You know she has no chance
in the Indian Army.

Sir, our hearts beat
for the Indian Army.

That's very poetic, Major.

But, the truth is, you're either

appeasing your guilt by
giving her admission

or, pitying her.

Sir, I won't let
any harm come to her.

Says the man...

who let Tanvi's father die
in front of his own eyes.

Sir, there was an enquiry

and, you know the truth.

Don't give her false hope, Major.

Please.

Raza Saab, Tanvi may have made a
place for Indian Army in her heart

but, I know very well that there is
no place for her in the Indian Army.

As per rules, autistic people cannot
be recruited in the Indian Army.

So, however hard she may try

whatever training she may take,
I know...

that the Indian Army
will not accept her.

Papa, don't worry about all that.

Just imagine how strong she'll
become in this whole process.

But...
it's not going to be that easy.

In fact, it's not easy at all.

I know it's not easy. And so...

thank you, Papa.

'Thank you very much.'

'I mean, you did wonders!'

'Just look at the transformation.'

'Papa, I'm sorry, I have to go.'

Bye.

Okay.

Take care.

Tanvi.

I'll come to pick you up
after the training.

No, I will come.

Everyone is wearing uniforms,
and you're without a uniform.

Just a moment.

Your uniform.

Are there shoes too?

Are they my size?

Thank you, Gra-

Thank you, Colonel Raina.

So, in the rest of the services

they check if the candidate
is the best or not.

But, in the army,
not the best candidate

but, the right candidate
is selected.

And, to become the right candidate

training and teamwork are a must.

You will only do what we say.

Just follow the orders.

- Am I clear?
- Yes, sir!

Good.

- Then let's get on with today's...
- One question, sir.

Yes, Cadet Tanvi?

- What did you call me?
- Cadet Tanvi.

I like it.

Good. What's your question?

Can I get a notebook, please?

- Why?
- To make notes.

We have to follow orders, right?

It's easier to remember.

You don't get a chance
to make notes in the field.

Learn to make notes in your mind.

Now, let's get on with today's task!
Move!

- Cadet Tanvi!
- Yes, sir.

- Just remove that sling. Now!
- Yes, sir.

Sir, should we treat Tanvi
in a soft or different manner?

Why different?

We'll make her a soldier
just like everyone else.

- No, sir. I was thinking...
- Don't think, Dogra. Go.

Okay, sir.

'Why did you guys cut your hair?'

Why, you don't want to get it cut?

No.

How will you join the army then?

What are you guys doing? Come on.

"Walk forward with life"

Dogra!

"It will show you a new world"

"Make place for life"

"It will teach you to live"

"Sit alongside it"

"Take a deep breath"

"Express your feelings"

"To your heart's content"

"Embrace life..."

"With open arms!"

- Tanvi.
- Yes, Major!

"Embrace life..."

"With open arms!"

"It will embrace you"

Ecopraxic behaviour is a unique
characteristic of autistic people.

It enables them to copy someone
with such perfection

that you can't tell whether they've
actually learned the behaviour

or, simply just
copying an individual.

"The heart races"

"The breath is ragged"

"Life takes a new path"

"Make a new home"

"In your heart"

"Leave behind the cornerstones"

Autistic people are hyper-focused.

If they decide to do something

there's nothing in this world
that can sway them from their path.

But, they need the
right kind of environment.

So, if you put them in a
well-defined, well-organised space

they can actually
excel at their jobs.

Lift it with both hands.

Very good. Use your legs.

Lift it with both arms.

Tanvi!

Raza Saab, go back.

I'm waiting.

Tanvi, you're lucky
Major is not here today.

- Understood?
- No.

Explain it to her.

Tanvi, Major sir

would have been furious.

- Why?
- Half an hour lunch break.

Why have you come here?

I came to see

what is so important,
that you left my class for.

I miss you, Tanvi.

Can I eat my lunch now?

But, sorry, I can't share.

I need more nutrition right now, right?

Well, I haven't eaten, but...

Sorry.

Tanvi, do you remember,
on the first day of class

you asked me a question?

Why is the frame on the wall empty?

Hmm. I did.

I always hoped that...

I will become so successful

that I will hang my own photo

with those masters of music.

That didn't happen.

Then, I heard your voice.

And, I realised that
what I could not accomplish

can be accomplished by my student

which is you.

And, I will put up your photo there.

Thank you...

buddy.

Buddy?

Friend.

But, that cannot happen now.

Because, my dream is army.

So, you don't like to sing?

I love to sing!

But, Raza Saab...

I won't get a uniform
because I can sing.

But yes, I can sing
even after I get a uniform.

Yes, but, Tanvi...

what if you don't get selected
in the army for some reason?

Raza Saab.

Do you also feel,
like Colonel Raina...

that I can't get
selected in the army?

Because I am different?

Raza Saab.

I am different.

But, no less.

That's why, Papa used to
call me Tanvi the Great.

Okay, thank you so much.

Guys, do not forget to subscribe.

See you. Signing off.

Ah!

Greetings, Ms Karuna.

Greetings, Pratap.

Hey! Hello, hello!

You're damn fit, huh?

Thank you.

How are you, Mukund?

Not bad! You recognised me!

Anyway, have a seat, please.

- He's taking a shower.
- Hmm.

So, what is up? Huh?

Usual.

What do you do, Mukund?

Max. I'm called Max.

I am a social media influencer.

Grandma, what is my handle called?

MAXimum Life.

MAXimum Life!

Don't forget to follow, okay?

Very interesting.

Don't watch his videos, Pratap.

- They make no sense at all.
- Oh, please!

Uncle, I will cross
one million in one year.

A one million package in one year?

No! Followers!

What followers? Where?

On social media.

Oh, yes. I keep hearing
about followers and other stuff.

You see how it is with us...

my father was in the army,
my grandfather was in the army

so, I joined the army too.

It's called family tradition.

What family tradition, Uncle?

I guess it's very over-hyped.

Really?

Okay, wait.
I'll give you an example.

- Uh, Grandma!
- Hmm?

What is the name
of Ranbir Kapoor's father?

Rishi Kapoor.

- And, his grandfather's?
- Raj Kapoor.

His brother was Shammi Kapoor.

And, the other was Shashi Kapoor.

They're all so handsome!

And, I'm leaving.

Don't leave yet, Pratap.

Okay. So now, you tell me.

My Grandma remembers the names
of the whole family of a superstar.

She immediately named them all.

But, other than my Grandpa, my Uncle

and their battalions,
how many names does she remember?

Your point is?

My point is, why should I take
army as a profession?

There are other professions
which are far more lucrative.

They will give me much more fame,
much more money.

- So, fame and money is everything?
- Obvio!

Consider... a chewing gum, okay?

See the package of
the marketing head

of a chewing gum manufacturing MNC

and, that of a soldier
who sacrifices his whole life.

Just compare the two.

Selling chewing gum is...

far more rewarding than
saving the country, dude!

Lower rifles!

Jai Hind!

I mean...

Sorry, I'm not saying
that with any bitterness.

I respect you guys a lot.

It's just that, I'm being
rational and not emotional.

I'm joining the Indian Army!

Jai Hind!

Max.

We are being national.

Colonel.

Oh!

Mother said, Mukund was
introducing you to Max.

No, I'm glad I met Mukund.

I got a new perspective on life.

Or, we live a very limited
life here, in the cantonment.

Uncle, let's take a selfie?

- Give, I'll take it.
- No, no, come join us.

Come, come, come.

- Hmm.
- Yeah.

- Smile! Ah!
- Ah!

Nice! Thank you, gentlemen.

- I'll post it.
- Take care.

- See ya!
- Hmm.

I hope...

Mukund didn't bore you by relating
his life philosophy to you?

Philosophy?

I haven't heard that word for ages.

Tanvi would have
immediately noted it down.

You didn't bring Tanvi?
How's her training progressing?

I don't know how her
training is progressing.

But, today, I am sure...

that Tanvi is on the right track.

Nice to see you smile
after a long time.

We've reached the
final stages of our training.

Today is the most
challenging task of the training.

This will show how sharp

your strategy is.

This will show how
good your stamina is.

And, most importantly,
how strong your teamwork is.

- The name of this task is...
- Snake race!

Good luck! And now, move!

- Yes!
- You left me behind, guys!

- Congrats!
- Why did you do that?

You left me behind.

- Cadets, well done!
- Yes, sir!

- Any injuries?
- No, sir!

Then, it's time to announce
the winners of today's snake race.

And, the winner is...

Team B!

- You can celebrate.
- Yay!

One question, sir.

'We crossed the finish line first.'

'Then, why didn't we win?'

Isn't that what you
were going to ask? - Hmm.

Mind feeder.

I think, you mean, mind reader.

Yes, mind reader.

Why didn't we win the race, sir?

Cadets!

Two things make
the Indian Army great.

One.

We lead from the front!

And, second, we never
leave our partners behind.

Never leave your buddy behind!

- Understand?
- Yes, sir!

- Kuldeep.
- Yes, sir!

Why didn't you
finish with your team?

Sir, I was lagging.

And, you guys left him behind!

Never!

Ever!

Leave your buddy behind...

and, expect to win the race.

Have a good evening,
and, go celebrate.

Yay!

Never leave a buddy behind.

Never leave a buddy behind.

Tomorrow is the Army Ball.

Brigadier Joshi has invited you too.

Are you listening to me?

All right then,
keep listening to music.

Okay, I'll go alone.

"Move forward! Step back!"

"Turn around! Very good!"

Tiger, why did the music stop?

Play it, please.

"Move forward!"

"Step back!"

"Turn around!"

- "Very good!"
- I told you she'll sing!

"Left, Right! Left, Right!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

"Attention! At ease!"

"Start the parade! Salute!"

"One, two! One, two!"

"You are one! You are all!"

"Leaving your loved ones behind..."

"Giving up your childhood home..."

"You moved ahead with a smile..."

"Broke all your promises"

"The only oath you took...
Is to die for your nation"

"Till your last breath...
You won't stop"

"May the brave warriors
see victory!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

“Stand erect!
Look up with pride!"

"Show courage! Step forward!"

"Keep marching!"

"Come what may...
Move forward!"

"Whether the hot deserts..."

"Or, icy peaks!"

"The hearts are always alight..."

"With the flame of patriotism!"

“Nothing deters you from your path!"

“You can die for your Nation!"

"May the brave warriors
see victory!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

- One-two-one!
- Very good!

- One-two-one!
- Keep moving!

- One-two-one! One-two-one!
- Come on, faster!

One-two-one! One-two-one!

One-two-one! One-two-one!

Come on, move!

Raza Saab!

Tanvi!

Tanvi! Don't!

Tanvi, no! It's an order! Stop!

And, no one moves!

But, he's my friend!

- He's Raza Saab!
- Tanvi, no, Tanvi!

He's my buddy!

Don't move, and it's an order!

No, Major sir!

Tanvi, no!

I'm sorry!

Tanvi!

Raza Saab!
Raza Saab, open the door!

Open the door, Raza Saab!

Raza Saab, I'm here.

- Raza Saab!
- Tanvi, Tanvi!

I'm holding.

Raza Saab! Raza Saab.

Raza Saab, wait!

Tanvi's buddy! No!

Nothing will happen, Raza Saab!
Don't worry! Open the boot!

Open the boot! Raza Saab, open it!

Tanvi's buddy, Raza Saab!

Never leave a buddy behind!

Raza Saab, I'm here.
I will save you. You'll be fine!

I promise! Raza Saab!

Raza Saab!

Tanvi, come on!
Give me your hand, Tanvi!

Come on, Tanvi!

Tanvi!

Give me your hand! Come on!

Come on!

Tanvi!

Bless you!

Stop it!

I said, stop it!

Stop it, everybody!

Cadet Tanvi!

You have broken the most
important rule of the army!

But, sir,
Tanvi saved someone's life.

Speak when spoken to!

Why didn't you run?

Why didn't Dogra run?

Why didn't anyone else run?!

Those who didn't run,
please answer the question!

Because, an order is an order, sir.

Precisely!

If I gave an order,
I had a reason behind it.

But sir, you have taught me,
never leave a buddy behind.

He is my buddy.

We could have saved your buddy
without taking a risk.

Your safety...

the safety of all of you
is my responsibility!

I stopped you, didn't I?

Didn't I?!

You should have followed
my instructions!

But, you did not,
and that is indiscipline!

And,
there is no place here for that!

Cadet Tanvi!

You are expelled!

But sir, you had said that...

there is only one way
out of your academy.

Selection in SSB.

And, I had also said that I can
throw you out whenever I want.

- But, sir...
- Leave now, and that's an order!

Yes, Major sir!

Leave the bag!

Cadets!

Back to the ground!

One-two-one!

One-two-one! One-two-one!

One-two-one! One-two-one!

One-two-one!

One-two-one!

One-two-one!

I made a special pudding for you.

With almond milk.

And, figs.

Dried figs.

The darkness that comes after being
in the light, feels denser, Major.

You gave her hope
and snatched it away from her?

I did what was right for Tanvi.

Could Tanvi have saved
someone's life this way before?

Every year, millions of people apply
for the army and get rejected.

And, Tanvi will accept
this rejection too.

But, she shouldn't feel that she was
stopped because she lacks something.

That's my thinking, sir, and...

Samar was right.

She is Tanvi the Great.

So, this is it.

The final day is here.

The journey that we began
nine months ago

is about to take us
to an important milestone.

The opening of new chapters of WAF

under your leadership and guidance.

And, at this special, and...

for me, emotional moment...

I must confess

the difference between
my theoretical approach

and a practical one.

Dr. Vidya Raina.

The pain and effort
she took in making

From Surviving to Thriving

as effective a program
as it looks today.

Vidya made me realise
the importance of family

in the lives of those with autism.

Family can provide a safe haven.

A sanctuary of love and acceptance

where every child
can truly be themselves.

I would like to invite
Vidya onto the stage

hopefully to make a better
valedictory speech than mine.

Please come, come, come.

Vidya, all good?

When I first came here
a few months ago

I had left my heart in
Lansdowne, India, with my daughter.

And, for the first few times,
there was a...

there was a voice in my head
that kept saying...

'Vidya, you shouldn't
have left her there'.

Tanvi's grandfather proved...

that my apprehensions
were unfounded.

In India, we don't know
much about autism.

But, we certainly know
a lot about caring.

Steffi,
can you please play the video?

Ladies and gentlemen...

please meet my daughter,
Tanvi Raina!

This decoration is
definitely Tanvi's work.

Why have you brought me to Samar?

Is Tanvi alright?

Whenever I can't find
Tanvi anywhere in Lansdowne

she is always here.

You told her that I am
coming today, didn't you?

Yes, I told her.

Mumma!

Hi, dear.

You look beautiful, Mumma!

And, you look...

different.

Tanvi, why did you cut your hair?

This was the one thing I refused
to do at Major sir's academy.

Today, I did that too.

Now, nothing can come
between me and my dreams.

I missed you, Mumma.

I missed you too.

You used to say that she doesn't
understand the emotion of missing.

Mumma doesn't know everything.

Let me show you something.

I'm not...

dependent anymore.

Funny, isn't it?

Not funny, but!

Permission to hug?

Sure.

- My little girl has changed.
- Yes.

Tanvi has changed.

Isn't it, Colonel Raina?

I can do anything now, Mumma.

I can get selected in SSB too.

SSB?

You're appearing for SSB?

Of course.

You already know, Colonel Raina.

Why...
weren't you eating all these days?

- I was on a diet.
- Huh?

So what if I'm not
in Major sir's classes?

I have to stay fit for the SSB.

What now?

I don't know.

Major sir.

Thank you for meeting, Major sir.

At ease.

I am going for SSB tomorrow.

You trained me for
the physical tasks.

But, I couldn't understand
even from the internet

what they ask in the interview.

Any advice, sir?

Your biggest strength is...

your honesty.

Any answer you give
with honesty in the interview

will be the right answer.

Thank you, Major sir.

And, Tanvi!

Yes, sir.

Nice haircut, soldier.

Good luck.

I'm nervous.

Nervous?

First time?

That's why.

Don't be nervous.

It's all very simple.

There will be
a senior officer inside

and, some junior officers.

And, there will be
a psychoanalyst too.

She'll quietly sit and observe.

- May I come in, Sir?
- Come in.

Good morning, everyone.

Tanvi Raina.

You had long hair?

Yes. Mumma used to say...

What did Mumma say?

She used to say, with long hair,
I look like an angel.

And, in short hair?

Major Srinivasan said,
I look like a soldier.

Jai Hind!

Take a seat.

Tanvi Raina.

All the examiners mentioned
your honesty.

What is your biggest weakness?

Pancakes.

Not in food, in life.

In your personality.

Good question.

People often tell me that

my biggest weakness is that I get
confused between good and bad.

I cannot understand
what's good or bad.

But, you understand the difference

between an enemy and a friend, right?

Well, I don't really have an enemy.

But, I think an enemy

doesn't think of your well-being,
and, a friend does.

So, if I order you
to shoot an enemy

will you shoot?

No, sir.

But, in the army, you have
to shoot the enemy, right?

Sir, in the army,
you don't just have to shoot.

The army does several other
acts of bravery.

Like, if there's ever
a flood or an earthquake

it's the army that rescues people.

If there is a war situation,
you will shoot, right?

War is not good, sir.

It shows the bad side of humans.

Just answer my question.

Actually, I haven't thought
about it in such detail.

It is not a joke to join the army.

The people of the country trust us

to choose the best candidate
to protect them.

You should think about it.

Tanvi.

If you have a choice to
eat your favourite food every day

you know, pancake type...

or, if you have a choice
to eat different foods every day

what will you choose?

I prefer the same food.

Vegan food.

- Which is your favourite sport?
- Sport.

I am interested in sports

but, I don't like to
defeat someone to be happy.

Sir, this candidate is autistic.

Tanvi.

Why do you want to join the army?

Hello?

They've called you inside.

Colonel Raina.

Sir.

Brigadier Rao.

We don't call
family members usually.

But, this is a special situation.

You know that Tanvi is different.

Yes, sir.

You also know that...

as per rules, what are her chances

of being selected
in the Indian Army.

I know it, sir.

Then, despite of knowing everything,
why didn't you stop her?

Sir, how can anyone stop
someone from having a dream?

Sir, you're my senior.

No philosophical answers, please.

Sir, a few months ago, when Tanvi
came to me from Delhi to Lansdowne

she couldn't even tie a shoelace.

- She couldn't cross a doorstop...
- Doorstep.

She couldn't cross the doorstep.

And today,
after qualifying all the stages

she's giving an SSB interview
here in front of you, sir.

Doesn't that prove what
I said to you earlier, sir?

How can you stop anyone
from holding on to a dream?

Have you ever asked Tanvi

why she wants to join the army?

It's a family tradition, sir.

Tanvi.

Tell your grandfather...

why you want to join the army.

To fulfil Papa's dream.

He wanted to go to Siachen
and salute the Indian Flag, right?

And, only the Indian Army
can take me to Siachen.

I'm sorry, Tanvi.

The Indian Army cannot
take you to Siachen.

Because, you cannot join the army.

But, why?

We can't disclose the reasons.

But, why can't you
disclose the reason, Mr. Rao?

Because, rules are rules, Tanvi.

I'm sorry, Colonel.

It is something, about which,
you should have told her long ago.

You are reacting as if
Indian Army is unfair to her.

I'm sorry, Colonel.

- It's not personal.
- It is personal, sir.

It is personal!

Many years ago,
when I joined the army

that was a personal reason, sir.

I'm sure you joined the army
for personal reasons too.

When my son sacrificed
his life for the country

that was also
a personal reason, sir!

All the cadets standing
outside to join the army

have a personal dream!

Like, Tanvi has
a personal dream, sir.

Like you,
I also used to think that...

Tanvi is not normal.

But, she proved me wrong.

She proved the whole world wrong!

Tanvi proved that the opposite
of normal is not abnormal!

In fact, the opposite of normal...

is extraordinary!

She's extraordinary!

But, I made one mistake, sir.

Instead of an army officer...

I...

I began to think
like a grandfather, sir!

But, why didn't you tell me you want
to go to Siachen for Samar?

Because, you never asked me!

You always just
kept trying to stop me!

Mumma should not have gone to USA!

I should not have come to Lansdowne!

I should not have gone
into Papa's room!

I should not have
watched those videos!

I should not have thought
of fulfilling his dream.

Now, my whole life...

I will always feel that
I'm not a good daughter!

Because, I could not
fulfil my Papa's dream!

He wanted to go to Siachen
and salute the Indian Flag.

Now, I won't be able to
fulfil that dream of his!

Colonel, Raina!

Colonel Raina, he was my Papa!

But... but, he was your son too!

Can you please...
Please, Colonel Raina...

Sorry, sir. Excuse us.

For the first time in my career...

I wish rules were not rules.

My dear.

Wh-what happened inside?

Let's go.

Where?

Siachen!

We should leave,
or we'll be late for Bana Post.

Bana Post?

Bana Post is the highest
military posting in Siachen.

It is named after
Captain Bana Singh, PVC.

Param Veer Chakra.

Dear, you wanted to come to Siachen
and salute the Indian Flag.

You did it.

This is Siachen's base camp.

Papa's posting was at
Bana Post in Siachen.

I have to salute the flag
at Bana Post.

We can't go to Bana Post, dear.

Only the army is
allowed to go there.

So, you brought me to Siachen
only to come this far?

Yes.

A retired army officer
cannot take you further than this.

Where are you going, dear?

Going back.

To Delhi!

Yes, Sir.

Copy.

Sir, just a moment.

Everyone is talking about your
interview with the SSB.

Even in Lansdowne.

Brigadier Rao told me
you were brilliant.

He still didn't select me
in the SSB.

Yeah, I know.

Every goal seems difficult
until you take the first step.

You've taken that first step
by coming here.

Colonel Raina.

Seeing Tanvi's
honesty and determination

the Indian Army has decided

to give her a chance
to fulfil her father's dream.

So, what has never happened before,
will happen now!

A civilian girl

a special case,
will go to Bana Post

to salute the Indian Flag there.

Because, I'm different!

But?

But, no less.

Thanks, Tiger!

Young lady.

Tanvi, you'll have to become
a Siachen Warrior to go there.

- Yes!
- Come on.

Go, get ready.

Mumma, you know what?

What?

East or West...

Grandpa is the best!

Permission to hug?

Grandpa!

You're my Grandpa!

I'm sorry!

You're no more Colonel Raina!

You're my Grandpa!

The emotions of a heart...

heartfelt words and flowing tears
should not be held back.

- Who wrote that?
- Brigadier Joshi.

- And, the ones before this?
- I did.

Thank you.

"Won't stop, won't give up,
won't tire, keep moving forward!"

"All the difficulties
have vanished!"

"You have to scale the skies today!"

"All the dreams have come true!"

"The storms have subsided!"

"The world salutes you!"

"Although the peaks rise high..."

"You know how to fly higher!"

"With a heart
filled with honesty..."

"You know how to fight!"

"Once the heart is determined...
Nothing can come in the way"

"Nothing can break
Your determination"

"You will see victory
each step of your way!"

"Long live Tanvi!"

"May our Tanvi see victory!"

"Long live Tanvi!"

"May our Tanvi see victory!"

"To turn away from hatred..."

"We have learned!"

"Under the same Tricolour..."

"Do we all unite!"

"Saffron, green, white!
The colours are many"

"The fire coursing through our veins
Is one and the same"

"O my country...
May you be victorious!"

"Long live Tanvi!"

"May our Tanvi see victory!"

"Long live Tanvi!"

"May our Tanvi see victory!"

"With your courage,
These distances..."

"I have crossed through the skies"

"The twinkling stars
In the distance..."

"Have come down on land
To be with you"

"The heart is swept ahead
With courage"

"A new flame
Brightens the heartbeats"

"You are the youth of this nation"

"You are the new dawn
Of this nation!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

"Long live the army!"

"Long live my army!"

Jai Hind!

This is a historic moment!

This is the moment of victory

for human spirits and determination!

Tanvi Raina has done
what looked impossible to others.

An autistic girl...

who faced challenges
at every step of life

won over the hearts

of army officers with her
hard work, dedication and honesty.

The Indian Army, which has a chest

decorated with medals
of bravery and courage

also has a heart
filled with compassion.

Tanvi Raina has achieved a unique
record of being the first civilian

to reach the Bana Post
and salute the National Flag there.

Belonging to a family of army men

this girl has sent a message
to parents across the world

that one needs to be different
to become special.

Today, she has become
a shining inspiration

for autistic children all over
the country, and their parents.

Next.

One latte with almond milk
and a pancake.

Please serve it warm.

I also like it warm.

Nice order.

- Do you want something, Grandma?
- Yes, water.

She wants H2O.

- Your name, please?
- Tanvi.

- Nice name.
- Thank you.

Actually, it takes nine months
to reach the Mars.

The average distance
between the Earth and the Mars is

one hun-
one hundred and forty million miles.

Please take a seat.
We'll call your name, Tanvi.

Come on.

Uh, Tanvi, your shift is over.

Thank you.

With my first pay from Starbucks...

Cappuccino for mom

and, Americano for Grandpa.

How sweet! Thank you, dear!

Permission to hug?

How is Lansdowne?

I miss Lansdowne.

The people of Lansdowne
miss you a lot too, Tanvi.

Grandpa has specially come from
Lansdowne for your music programme.

Thank you, Grandpa.

- One question, Grandpa.
- Hmm?

How do civilians go to Mars?

How do they go where?

To Mars.

Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn?

That Mars.

You want to go to Mars?

I'm thinking about it.

Tanvi the Great!

“One, two, one”

“I count my breath”

“One, two, one”

"I move ahead. Here I go."

"Go..."

“One, two, one”

"I choose a hundred paths."

“One, two, one”

"I won't turn back. Here I go."

"Go..."

"Don't come into my memories
until I call you."

"Don't forget me
without telling me."

"Let the Wi-Fi stay strong
between our hearts."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

“One, two, one”

“I count my breath”

“One, two, one”

"I move ahead. Here I go."

"Go..."
