Welcome, sir

Pritam Singh is a very good man and a respected veteran

It's officers like you that have taught me all I know

We should get going now

Hail India (Jai Hind) - Jai Hind

This is the last Indian village before the Line of Control

Soopra village

Hello - Hello

Where are you from?

Delhi

The Capital

I'm from Maliyabad

Ever heard of it? - Yes, sir

When was that?

Just now sir, from you!

This highway goes along the river from Srinagar to Leh

It's the only link between Kashmir and Ladakh

You see those mountains?

The LOC is behind that range

and across it are Pakistani posts

You'll see it today

Everything okay here? - Yes, sir. Nothing to worry

Where's Capt. Ravindran? - In the bunker, sir

Allright, carry on

Do you see the Pakistani post over there?

Wow! Unbelievable

That pillar marks the LOC

and from here to there is no man's land...

Not ours Not theirs

Even so, we exchange fire almost every day

If there's firing we also retaliate

That's amazing

It's like I've always known, but somehow...

I've never felt this Indian before

I'm an Indian

I still remember seeing these borders for the first time

I understand how you must feel

Come, let's go

I have been moved by the affection and hospitality...

...extended to me...

...and the delegation of eminent persons...

...who accompanied me

Jammu and Kashmir is one of the issues...

...we are discussing...

...within the framework of our composite dialogue

You were watching our live telecast from the Wagah border

This is a historic day

Today, India and Pakistan can hope that these steps...

will bridge the distance that has long divided us

Stay tuned for the news in English, Thank you

Out. - Guruvindhar, was that okay? - Perfect

Romila, call for you

Thank you

Hi Rajiv, tell me?

I've to read the news at 8, lets meet after that

Okay, bye

Thanks

This must be special - What do you mean?

I mean, we met by chance

kept running into each other

and now we're more than good friends

There must be something special - Perhaps

How about getting married?

What do you think?

Rajiv, its very sweet of you

We're friends, why not leave it at that?

Do you plan on marrying someone you hate?

Look, it's not like you don't know me or don't like me...

I hope - Of course I like you

You know it

Then what's the problem?

I haven't thought about marriage

So give it a thought now

Okay, say you'll think of it Or is it asking too much?

No, it's not that

I'll think about it

Hi mom

When did you come? - A little while ago

Dinner? - I've eaten

What're you reading?

Have a lecture at 9 tomorrow, Just making some notes

Rajiv asked me to marry him

What did you say?

What should I have said?

I think... whatever it was you and Karan shared

...it's in the past?

It's something like that

What do you think?

You can't spend the rest of your life in mourning

That's true but...

But what?

Nothing

Come on! Come on

Good shot

Well done Karan! Well done

Come on! Come on

Hello sir - Hi Karan

You see that?

Sir

The snow is melting Summer is here

How cold does it get up there in winter, sir?

Minus forty degree, minus fifty degree - Really

Yes, it's difficult to stay up there

Both, the Pakistanis and we vacate our posts in winter

It's like a gentleman's pact

that neither of us will take advantage of this

Once the weather changes, we man our posts again

I'd like to go there, sir

Someday you'll have to

Check - Check

Sure you aren't a cousin of our Grandmaster Vishwanath Anand?!

Good morning sir - Hey morning

Coffee?

Why not?

Ashok, another cup please? - Yes, sir

From home

Do you like mangoes? - Sir?

Mangoes?

I like them

Ever eaten mangoes from Maliyabad?

I will if you get them, sir

The fun lies in eating them fresh at the orchard

Hey, Mishra!

Want to come home and eat mangoes next season?

You plan this every year but never take me there!

I wonder if he really has any orchards at all!

Come on! It's your move

Check! - Again?!

Why don't you...

Hey Karan...

Isn't she the girl whose picture is in your wallet?

What happened? A tiff?

Excuse me sir

Hey Rajiv - Hi brother

What's up?

Where you coming from?

There

Where's Romi?

She's busy preparing for tomorrow's protest march

Protest match? Again!?

Okay friends, the pamphlets are here

Now our volunteers must be at every gate by 7 in the morning

Okay? - We'll be there

Every student should be given one, Okay?

and please ask them to read it

Pamphlets are meant to be read

Is this poster okay?

Good

Where are the Hindi posters?

Almost complete Don't worry

Okay I'm going home Call me if you need anything

Or tomorrow at 7 A. M, okay?

Hi Karan

What's going on?

Preparation for the march

Put up posters opposite the Vice Chancellor's office...

...this very night, okay?

No more of the Vice Chancellor's dictatorship!

No more! no more!

Uncle, be honest...

Are all these rallies and demonstrations of any use?

Everyone has a right to speak out in a democracy

But you shouldn't disrupt law and order

Law and order? Hello aunty!

Hello Karan? - How are you?

I am fine!

Where's Romi? - In her room, Aunty

Sit please

The police resorted to using water cannons at the last rally

Water cannons! She was lucky to get away... or else she'd be in jail

Like mother like daughter!

I remember being arrested in my student years

Aunty! Under arrest!!

Akhilesh... - Yes?

I'm going to the India International Centre

Okay - Bye... bye Karan - Bye aunty - Bye

So tell me, what are your plans?

I'm going home right now

Then I'm meeting my friends this evening...

I don't mean your agenda for today

I'm talking about life

Life...!?

You mean life!

Right uncle! It's worth a thought

You know...

Whatever you do in life, it's very important to do it well

You can become a scientist...

but what's the use if you aren't a good scientist?

Mow lawns, if thats what you want to do

as long as you do it well

Do you agree?

You're right, uncle

Anyway, I should get going

Aren't you waiting for Romi?

No problem! I'll call her later

Has Karan gone? - Yes, he had to leave

That boy is very confused

That's his only problem, papa

He just can't decide what he wants to do

His life doesn't have... what's it called...?

An objective

Thats it! Objective! He has no real objective

But wait and watch, the day he finds his calling

...you'll see how far he goes

Your juice, sir

Switch on the geyser, will you?

Do meet them they're good people

You're in Philadelphia now and they are too

Sridhar, breakfast - Don't mix them!

Put the clean ones aside!

You're mixing them again!!

You should keep in touch with family friends, son

Is that Udesh? Give me the phone, please

You've know them since you were a child

Just a second, mom! It's important give it to me

Yes! - Mom

Here! Just speak to Karan first!

Udesh! Can you check if the Jurassic Park DVD is available

Just check! It must be

Just courier it to me, okay, talk to mom

Hold on, Udesh... Please go speak to your father

About what?!

He wants to speak to you

About what?!!

Hi dad - Hi

You haven't gone to the office today?

I usually don't on Sunday's

Oh! Is it Sunday?

How would you know?

Sunday, Monday, it's all the same to you!

Are you going to do anything in life?

Of course I will, dad

But whatever I do, it's very important to do it well

I could become a scientist...

but what's the use if I'm not a good scientist?

Mow lawns, if thats what I want to do

as long as I do it well

That's what I feel about life

That's good

But just thinking won't help, you have to do things

Udesh is just two years elder to you, look at him!

Parvesh, tell me something

Parents, especially fathers...

Why do they always ask the same thing?

What do you want to be? What do you want to do?

Isn't there any other topic?

Who'll ask, if not fathers?

Mine is reverse!

I've told my parents I'm doing hotel management before they could ask me

Girls have become very sensible today!

Look at Romi!

She's been clear about wanting to be a journalist all along

Please, her father's the editor of a leading daily

What problem would she have becoming a journalist!?

What're you saying?

Whatever Romi decides to do, she will do well

She's really different and really smart

How could I forget who I'm talking to!?

I'm sorry lover boy

Romi is a genius!

Guess what, guys?

I haven't told my parents yet but I've decided

What? - Army

Army?

You! Join the army! You'll be court-martialed the first day!

Ever woken up before noon?

I will when I need to! Why should I for no reason!

You want to be an engineer

Did I ever say you won't make it?

Calm down! Why are you over reacting?

Because you always put me down

But think about it, buddy Army life isn't easy

Nothing is easy in the world

But I've decided and that's that! I'm joining the army

I feel my country needs me!

Aren't Army uniforms the smartest, Ashu?

You guys are giving me a complex!

You're joining the army, you engineering...

you, hotel management

I'm the only one left!

Sometimes I think I'll do this, sometimes that!

Why am I like this?

Why am I like this?

Why am I the way I am?

When did I ever know what I am supposed to do?

Looks like I'll be singing this song all my life

What will happen to me?

Will someone please tell me?

Why is it so difficult?

Will someone help me understand?

Why am I like this?

Why am I the way I am?

Now I feel like doing this, but then again it's that

But why? I just don't know...

What it is that I must do!

What now looks clear and simple...

Tomorrow will seem all twisted

I feel like my life is... - Completely upside down!

Will I ever change? Will I ever believe?

Will I ever improve?

I don't know if I will

What's to become of me now?

What do you think?

What's to become of me now?

Will I just remain the way I am?

When did I ever know what I am supposed to do?

Looks like I'll be singing this song all my life

What will happen to me?

Will someone please tell me?

Why is it so difficult?

Will someone help me understand?

Why am I like this?

It's just the way I am!

I don't know why you are the way you are

You think about it

Don't you get bored?

Where's the time to get bored?

There's so much going on in the world...

...if a person is interested, how can he get bored!!

Yeah I know

You are right

How come a girl like you is into someone like me?

Why do you love me?

You want to be praised, is it?

Seriously...

I've never seen you behave small or petty

I've never heard you talk badly of someone

I respect that about you

I like that - Really?

You're a good, big hearted person that's why I love you

Thanks

Know what I think?

You're not too bad yourself!

Shut up Karan

Your juice, sir

Switch on the geyser, will you? - Yes

Hello Aunty! Is Parvesh home?

What happened?

Romi, you always say that I keep drifting

That my life lacks a...

An objective

The world is objective - Exactly

Objective! Now listen...

It's all clear to me now I'm joining the army

You will join the army!?

Are you serious?

Romi, I've decided and that's that!

I'm joining the army!

I feel my country needs me

We all must do something for our country

But when do we ever realise our responsibility!

I have realised it!

The IMA is in Dehradun Indian Military Academy

I have filled out the form There's a written exam first...

If I pass, there'll be an interview and a medical test

I'm sure to be selected

By the way, guess who's coming with me?

Parvesh!

I'm really stressed, man!

Remember we had applied to IMA last month?

Yes, so?

I got the letter today, for the exam, didn't you get it?

Maybe, I'll check at home, why?

I don't want to go!

Don't want to go!!!

What are you saying? I applied because of you

I told you, this guy in the army? He gets up at noon!

That's not the point! My dad told me...

If I do an MBA from any American university...

...I can get a job the very next day in the U.S.

I can't believe you're off to the U.S. now!

What'll I do alone in the army?

Man! He's so unreliable!

Tell me something...

How many years does it take to an MBA in America?

What is this?

What is this?

Did you apply to the IMA?

Are you planning to sit for the exam?

Actually Parvesh and...

Did you ask us before making this decision?

Answer me! Did you ask me or your mother?

You've lost your mind!

Think you can do whatever you feel like?

Not in this house! You better understand that!

But Daddy, what have I... - Shut up

I've had enough!

Shalini, it's all our fault

He gets whatever he wants! I'm here to earn the money!!

Where's the need for him to do anything?

Apart from his regular nonsense

Now see this... he wants to join the army!

Karan, look at me...

You will do as I say

Understand that! You will do exactly as I say!

Enough is enough

He's very upset

What's gotten into you! Just see how Udesh...

Please mummy, I am not Udesh!

Karan, don't feel so bad yeah

Parents say things they shouldn't when they're upset

But they don't really mean it

How do I know that?

I hear what you say... and I see what you do

Do you remember how in school...

...both your parents would come on Parents Day

My mom would, but did you even once see my Dad?

You will do as I say!

...sorry, but I won't!

I want to join the army and I will!!

If you're serious, then don't listen to anybody

Do what your heart tells you

But if you're being stubborn or egoistic

because your father has said not to

then this would be a wrong decision

No, Romi, it's not about being stubborn or egoistic

I want to join the army

So! It's decided then

Now cheer up

Come on... come on...

My God! I never knew you could get so angry!

I am really scared now

How did it go?

Romi, I'm sad I can't show you my papers

There's just one fear

What's that?

I hope they don't think I've copied everything

...because every answer is just perfect!

Very good

Now that it's clear what my future is...

other thoughts are brewing in my mind

Like what?

Like, in a couple of years I'll have to get married... So what do you say?

About what?

About marriage!

Karan, I knew that someday we'd discuss marriage

But I never thought you'd say it in this manner!

How should I say it?

I mean... Can't you be more romantic?

I see

So you'd like me to...

...get you flowers...

...gaze into your eyes and say...

Don't be stupid I didn't say that

But it could've been said in a nicer way - Really!

If I say that I'm in love with you

you are my only desire what will you say?

If I say that I'm in love with you

you are my only desire what will you say?

I will say...

that if you had said it with a little more panache

and a little more charm

It would be nice

If I say

that you are as fresh as morning dew

Your lips as luscious as flower petals...

Your eyes twinkle like fireflies...

that my heart beats faster when I think of you...

If I say

If I say

that the moon is pale in comparison to your beauty

What will you say?

I will say...

Please don't compare me to the moon

it has many blemishes

And not a flower either they wither and wilt

As for fireflies... they just vanish without a trace

If you'd stop using cliche's

and say it in a style unique and original

and with a little more charm

It would be nice

If I say that I'm in love with you

you are my only desire what will you say?

If I say

you have confused me with your answers

How should I say what I have to say?

Nothing I say seems to please you

Because I think you don't even believe me!

If I say

If I say

Why is it that you don't know... ...that you already have my love?

I will say...

My heart does say we are meant to be together

If we truly feel it in both our hearts

then words don't matter

Don't worry, Shalini, let him go if he wants!

He'll be back in no time, i'm absolutely sure of it

But I'm really amazed that he got selected!

Gentlemen Cadets...

I, Adjutant of the I.M. A, Lt. Col. Pratap Singh...

...welcome you to the academy

Today, you are stepping into a new life

And I expect, that with every passing day...

...you will prove worthy of this great institution

Know that you are here because you are special

The Indian Military Academy is a great institution

that has since 1932, produced countless brave, able officers

...who's commitment cannot be praised in just words

First, our country...

second, the army...

then, his unit

and finally, concern for himself...

...that is the trademark of an I.M. A trained officer

Gentlemen cadets you must preserve the honor and traditions of IMA

So, good luck to all of you

Gentlemen, there are three basic rules in handling a weapon

One, a strong grip

Two, a focussed mind

Three, precise trigger operation

You will now learn how to acquire a strong grip

Karan shergill - Yes, Sergeant

Detail, get ready to charge!

Charge!

Attack!

Stab!

Draw!

Hit!

Cut!

Charge!!

Detail, get ready to charge!

Charge

What's the matter?

Where's your energy? Didn't your mother feed you?

You need to have fire in the belly!

Move out of line and watch the others

Come on, move fast

Next

Detail, get ready to charge

Forward! What're you looking at?

Why're you scared?

He's getting nervous for no reason, it's very easy

You're next, we'll see

All right, Rakesh my boy! I'll wave to you from the top

Very bad fail

You had to do it in a minute, next!

Go up, cross and jump, all in a minute! - Sir

Make it fast

Sergeant! - Yes, sir?

All well? - Under control, sir

Good carry on - Yes sir

Gentleman cadet Karan Shergill - Yes sir

You fell because you were not concentrating

Do you think you can get away for lack of discipline? - No sir

You shall be punished! - Yes sir

You will crawl in that trench, no stopping till I say so!

Now, go

You guys think it's a joke!

How do you like the taste of mud, eh?

Don't get up, go again

Move it! Fast!

Hands low G.C.!!

It's not easy becoming an officer, is it?

Come on, hurry up!

Don't get up

Hurry up

Come on

Hurry up

Come on, move

Don't get up you will stay on your knees all day

Is that understood? - Yes sir

What are you thinking? - Nothing much

Let it go, man!

It was just bad luck the Company Commander came by

And you did give him reason to punish you

Now forget everything and get some sleep

Tomorrow is a fresh start

Don't give anyone a chance to punish you

Okay? See you in the morning - Good night

Karan, Saket said goodnight, at least wish him!

Good night

Did you get into a fight there?

No... I just...

Sit down

Whatever I have earned, acquired...

All that I have... who do you think it's for?

When my father came here from Lahore in 1947...

What did he bring with him?

My entire family stayed in one small room

When I grew up, I'd hear of the house we had in Lahore...

...the status our family had...

This would pierce my heart like an arrow

I vowed that...

I would restore the family position to what it once was

And I succeeded

But my father didn't live to see this

Now all I have is my family

and if you have no respect for what I have done

then all my effort has been in vain

You must help him, son

Start going to the office from tomorrow, okay?

All right, go

Didn't I tell you he'll be back in no time

I know him Shalini, he's good for nothing

Let it be now At least he's back

Only you expect anything from him

I fail to understand...

Why Karan can't be more like Udesh

What's this?

You arrived yesterday but called me today!

Nice hair style

Anyway, how long are you here for?

I'm not going back - What do you mean?

You ran away, didn't you!?

For once you had made your own decision

only to be defeated in a few days

Your parents were upset

But you said "It's my life, I'll decide what I want"

Is this what you decided?

I can understand you're annoyed, but...

What do you understand, Karan?

Remember, it was here that you said... you wanted to marry me

Perhaps even that decision has changed!

What are you saying, Romi! - What should I say!?

When someone can't respect himself or his own decision...

How can I expect him to respect me?

Please listen to... - Don't touch me

I don't think I ever want to meet you again

You accept that you have done wrong

You accept that you have disgraced this institution

Please answer yes or no? - Yes sir

Are you ready for any punishment given to you? - Yes sir

Your act was not a minor misdemeanor

You will undergo a 28 day restriction period

After that, your plea will be considered - Yes sir

Say it loud and clear - Yes sir

This is your path... You know it now

This is your dream... You realise it now

This is your path... You know it now

This is your dream... You realise it now

Now you have to prove it

Nothing can hinder you or stop you You will fulfill your objective

Your objective... must be achieved at any cost

When you walk with your heart full of courage

The ground will tremble beneath your feet

Distances will not matter

Your goal will step forth and embrace you

When you walk with your heart full of courage

The ground will tremble beneath your feet

Stride forth, day or night It's not for you to rest or stop

You will fulfill your objective

Your objective... must be achieved at any cost

This is your path... You know it now

This is your dream... You realise it now

Now you have to prove it

You are now officers of The Indian Army

Congratulations - Thanks mom

Udesh had called He said to salute you on his behalf

Typical Udesh

Your father did want to be here

But an important meeting came up at the last minute

It's okay, I understand

My mom - Good morning mom

For those who have just tuned in...

our topic for today is...

Today's Woman in the eyes of Today's Man

Mr. Trivedi, you were saying before the break

Yes, first and foremost...

Woman is a mother, wife and homemaker

If you try changing her role

it will cause an upheaval in her life and in society

It's okay, it's your belief

We'll come back to you

Mr. Rajiv Kohli you are a business executive

Do you agree with him? - No, I don't agree with him

Today in the corporate or creative world or any field, for that matter

Women are not only matching strides with men...

but are gradually going ahead

No, don't clap, it's a fact

Today's woman is a success story

A shining example is with us today Miss Romila Dutta

Thank you

Only soft drinks tonight?

You decided that we should not meet

Now if we should or should not meet I will decide

Okay, bye!

Hey Karan, where are you going? - Home

I'm planning to go & meet Romi this evening

When did you last speak to her? - Why?

She's getting engaged today

Reports of intrusion are coming in from Drass

Intruders have also crossed the LOC into Kaksar and Batalik

Regretable thing is that after returning from Lahore

prospects to peace is rendered impossible

Oh my God!

What's this new problem?

Hi mom

Where have you been all evening?

Come in

What's this news from Kargil? You're posted there, aren't you?

What news? I haven't heard anything

Really? There was something on the T. V about it

Hello

Just a moment!

It's for you

Hello

Sir! Lt. Shergill here Sir

Yes sir

Sir

Right Sir

My leave is cancelled

But what's happened? You just got here!

It's this news, isn't it? What did he say?

That I should report back at once

He must have said more!

What are you hiding?

I don't have anything to tell you, Dad!?

I've to go

Due to commencement of Operation Vijay

you are being made an Acting Captain

Army Intelligence has reported that our neighbours... have betrayed our trust

They have crossed the Line of Control and infiltrated...

regions from Batalik to Drass with armed intruders

Our unit is responsible for Peak 5179

I've called for a briefing in the next 15 minutes

Come what may, we must recapture Peak 5179

At any cost!

This is the mountain known as Peak 5179 on the map

We cannot access it's northern side... without crossing the LOC

And we have been given precise orders...

that under no circumstances, can we cross the LOC So!

That leaves us with three sides

The western side is a sheer cliff 850 to 900 feet high

The enemy has a natural defense here

That leaves two sides

This is the southern side, facing us

But there's open plain from here to there

No cover at all

The enemy perched on the mountain...

can easily watch our movements from his bunker upto 3 km

This means that we are left with only one option the eastern side

That's right

We will send a small team

They must move undetected and explore

and chart possible routes that will provide us...

with maximum cover

There!

Their bunkers must be across that ridge line

That's the only access to this side

They would've definitely covered it

Hello, Ghaznavi 1

Hello, Ghaznavi 3, come in, over

Sir, I can see Indian soldiers one and half kms away

A patrolling party, perhaps

No firing

Don't reveal your position

Understood, sir, over

Karan, get back!

Why were you in the open? - Sorry, sir

I felt a presence on the mountain

I felt like I was being watched

Come on, get the camera, quick!

Come on... come on... hurry up

Hey, isn't that Romila Dutta?

You're right

Hello - Hi!

How far is that shelling from here? - About 3 kms away

The Pakistanis on the mountain... ...are trying to cut off the highway

I see - Don't worry, they won't succeed

Where are you going? - Kargil Actually we are from Global news

You don't need an introduction!

Hi

Hello

Hi

The shelling you hear is from the other side

Our Artillery will see where best to retaliate and then fire back

In mountain warfare...

the side occupying the heights holds the advantage

Therefore! Before any attack on the feature's eastern side...

we need to know...

the exact position of the enemy's bunkers

The strength of their fire power

An aggressive patrol will be sent to accomplish this

What's the plan, sir?

Thank you sir

Four teams! The first from this side

You will lead it Second team, Kaushal - Yes sir

You will apply pressure onto this area

Third team, Satish and Capt. Ramanna

You will go till here

And Akbar, Karan & Sgt. Dharamvir Singh You will position your team here

and open fire

This will not be an actual attack but they should feel that it is real

When they return fire... we'll get to know their positions and weapons

Yes sir

Engagement ring! - Congratulations - Thank you.

Alright! Here we go...

Ready Pradeep - Yes sir

All teams open fire!

Sir, Oscar Tango 3 degrees, distance 800 metres

they have a medium machine gun

Here! NW of team D!

Sir!

Hello Tiger! This is team 2 here

Hello tiger, there's a bunker on the Camel's Hump

Bunker on the Camel's Hump? Okay Vinodh!

Hello Tiger - Go ahead Koushal - A bunker! On the landing!

Bunker on the landing, mark it!

Oscar Tango 23 degrees, distance 650 metres

There's a bunker on the ridge

On the ridge! Return to base

All teams return to base...

Mission accomplished... I repeat, Mission accomplished

They have a medium and light machine gun in these bunkers

There are 4 bunkers up there

And they have an 81 mm Mortar at the top of this feature

Sir... - Yes, Pritam Singh, go on

They have two 81 mm mortars up there, not one

It takes at least 10 seconds to reload this weapon...

but the second round comes in well before that

He's right

Now that's experience

Hello

Sir, we pushed them back - You fool!

They came to check out our bunkers and weapons... and succeeded!

Stay prepared and alert The real attack isn't too far now! Over!

Understood, sir! Over!

Yesterday, at one point I thought my gun had jammed

and almost picked up a stone to chuck at the bunker

Sir! - Relax... relax

As per the CO's plan, we must shift base today

The new base will be closer to the eastern side

At Soopra village

Right, sir

Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride...

when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear

Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride...

when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear

We must keep moving now

with one single thought in all our minds

We must keep moving now

with one single thought in all our minds

Come what may! We will melt stone with our intensity

Come what may! We will overshadow mountains like clouds

Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride...

when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear

Lets enter the battlefield ready to sacrifice our life

Never rest until we have reached our destination

We have the courage to laugh in the face of adversities

We have the strength to twist the arm of death

We are a wall of steel guarding our borders

We are alert and ready for any enemy

Come what may! We will melt stone with our intensity

Come what may! We will overshadow mountains like clouds

Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride...

when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear

Keep the flame of fervor alight in your heart

And you shall sing the song of victory

Keep the flame of fervor alight in your heart

And you shall sing the song of victory

The portrait of victory we're out to paint

will be coloured by our blood

We all know, in our hearts now...

It's either do or die!

Even if fire and lightning befall our path

You will not be alone, my brothers in arms

Whatever be the hardship whatever be the strife...

Your comrades are with you now and forever

Come what may! We will melt stone with our intensity

Come what may! We will overshadow mountains like clouds

Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride...

when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear

I often think about the one I love Her memory torments my heart

I often wonder, that letters from home...

seem to be written on paper, moist with tears

Memories are like shadows, always with us

Dreams are like friends, travelling with us

No dream will be shattered No promise will be broken

May the one you truly love be yours when this is done

Come what may! We will melt stone with our intensity

Come what may! We will overshadow mountains like clouds

Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride...

when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear

The valleys are echoing the song of our caravan

The earth and the sky are resonating

The wind and time are resonating

Every path, every mountain, every plain, echoes and says

We shall win, yes we shall win, every battle!

Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride...

when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear

Rolling...

We are at the army hospital

Today, the Srinagar-Leh highway and Kargil...

have faced heavy shelling from across the LOC

Many villages and houses have been hit by shells

The number of casualties is yet unknown...

but many wounded have been brought to this hospital

Villages near the LOC are being evacuated

Alwyn, come on

I know him!

Please move out of the way!

Doctor, Is he alive?

Cool down, please

Rakesh - Karan, long time

Longtime

Where are you posted? - Drass

What brings you here?

Bad news Abeer Saxena died today

Abeer? How?

Shell hit his truck

What's going on, man!?

Muskoh, Drass, Kaksar, Batalik

Same story everywhere

I don't understand Why do wars happen?

What are so many people dying for?

When will we understand...

that war can't solve issues! Only peace can

Just shut up

Go give this lecture somewhere else! Just go out

I think you misunderstood us...

You want peace? We want it too

What should we do? Stand by with folded hands...

...and gift them our country on a platter?

Peace!

Capt. Abeer Saxena also wanted peace

He didn't go attack another country

It was his country that was attacked!

The road that he lay dying on... is a part of India!

First, go have a look at his dead body!

Then give these lectures!

Go! Look at him!

I'm okay

His dearest friend died today

I met Capt. Abeer Saxena once

Excuse me

Any problem

Our driver has gone somewhere with the car

Do you need a ride?

Thank you! - Thank you - Good night

Go head Alwin, I'm coming

Do you remember saying, us meeting again would be... your decision

Yes

So should I assume that you have decided?

I don't know

Thanks for the lift - You're welcome

I should have said this before

Congratulations, for your engagement - Good night

Are you crazy... You're going to Kargil!?

My boss also said the same thing - He was right

Why go some place involved in a full fledged war?

Why take needless risks? - There's no risk

And even if there is, it's not needless

Any way... - You should have spoken to me first - Why?

Why! You are my fiancee!

So?

See, it's better we get a few things clear right now

If we want to be together, this attitude won't do

You'll have to make some changes

Change what?

What's so difficult to understand!?

We'll be married soon People marry to settle down

That won't happen if you keep heading off to war fronts

You're Vice President Sales of your company

You travel to New York, London every other month

Will you stop going after marriage?

That's my job! - And this is my job

To be honest, it's more than a job

The mountains that have been occupied are a part of India

and I am an Indian

Come on, give me a break I'm an Indian too

I haven't lost touch with my culture and values

And I'm upset with you because

those values are still alive in me

I see and what does it say?

That I must dance to your tune if we want to be together, right?

I didn't say that - But that's what you meant!

Remember when we met on that TV show?

The things you had said

Life is not a TV show!

You will not go to Kargil!

Rajiv, I can't thank you enough...

...for telling me how you truly feel

Your ring

At sunset tomorrow at 20.00 hrs,

we will launch our first attack

This is their false front

We have to destroy all their bunkers here...

and convert their false front into our firm base

Attacks on the upper ridges will be launched from there

Everyone must be clear about the Operation

and the part they have to play in it!

Artillery will start shelling the feature at 1600 hours, sir

Good!

4 hrs of pounding should soften the target

Behind me here, our artillery is bombarding Peak 5179... with Bofors guns

The shelling has been on for the past 1 hour

The Indian army seems to be getting ready to attack

Romela Datta, Global news

Fire!

Alpha company... This is Tiger...

Alpha company here... come-in Tiger

All teams, the time has come!

I repeat, the time has come!

Okay sir

Take cover!

Come on, fast

We will advance to the trench up there

Tarsem Singh, cover us - Yes, sir! Let's go

Take him to the medic tent! - Yes, sir

You'll be all right, sir

Carefully

Move forward!

Glory be to our true guru! (War cry)

Get out of here!

Sengupta to Kaushal

Kaushal here

Fire on Bunker 4 with the LMG

Okay, we'll fire on Bunker 4 with the LMG

LMG group, engage the enemy in Bunker 4

Fire!

Charge!

Captain!

Hello, Ghaznavi 3 Why has the firing stopped?

Ghaznavi 3, come in Why has the firing stopped?

The firing has stopped because Ghaznavi is dead!

Leave now... or I swear by Allah, we won't spare you!

Swear by Allah!? Are you Muslim?

For you I'm Indian!

Great job!

Kaushal, Sudeesh, well done - Thank you sir

Sir, have a look at this!

They aren't terrorists

but soldiers and officers of the Pakistani Army

See these identity cards

They're from the Pakistani Northern Light Infantry

We found a ration card and some letters

That one there is a Captain

This identity card was in his pocket

Keep this

Sir, these weapons are from the bunkers

They had come quite well-prepared, sir

I see...

I see...

Show me that

We found a fair amount of rations, sir

I think they had planned a long visit, sir

There's a saying in my mother tongue...

A person who can't manage his own house...

...shouldn't set out to conquer the world!!

Sir, a photograph with your unit? - Why not? Come on boys

Ready sir

Thank you sir - Right?

Sahib Dharamvir Singh...

Organize some soldiers and give them a decent burial

Okay sir

What's the matter?

Pradeep?

Sir, I think...

everyone is reminded of the condition...

...in which they've returned our dead soldiers bodies

I see...

There's a difference between us & them & it should stay that way!

Imagine what kind of army refuses to accept...

the bodies of their own officers and soldiers!

Should we become like them?

This is the Indian Army

We maintain decency even in our enemity

Sahib Dharamvir Singh! Give them a proper burial -Yes, Sir

Allright gentlemen, we've made it this far, but only half the task is complete

We have to reach the upper ridges of the feature...

from where they are targeting our highway

Pradeep! - Sir! - Send for another Company,

All these officers and soldiers will go back to the base

Pradeep told me how you saved Ramanna's life

Well done!

Thank you sir

Rajtilak Singh, you add plenty of spice to everything you say!

Sir, he always exaggerates

I swear on my mother

He narrowly escaped death at least 6 times...

He was behind a rock and as he moved, BANG!

A shell landed

Bullets and shells landing all over... Bang!

All except where he was standing - Then?

Then he and Kishorilal moved forward...

Kishorilal was hit by a bullet, but not him!

Have you heard about his luck sir?

I have now - You can have my luck, buddy

I'll take it right away! - Here you go!

Raj Tilak - Yes, sir

Didn't your wife just have a baby?

Was it a boy or a girl?

A Girl, sir - You're a lucky man

You see that, sir?

These soldiers were sad yesterday...

grieving for their dead comrades

But see, how quickly a soldier overcomes his grief

What else can he do?

People tell us that war is bad

I ask them who knows this more than a soldier?

Then why have wars?

Sir, the Almighty made only one earth

But man's greed divided it

This became mine, that became yours

I'm glad the moon is up in the sky

we would have cut it to bits, had it been down here

That's so true

Sir!

I went to the Army hospital

Ramanna is out of danger - Good news sir

He's asked me to give you a message

What's that, sir?

Thank you

Sir, the CO said the work is only half done

It'll be complete, soon

Take this - What's this, sir?

The area map of our final objective

Keep it with you and study it

Every path and trail of this mountain

should be ingrained in your memory - Right sir - Go ahead

We are here to meet Col. Sunil Damle

Do you have permission? - No we don't but...

Sorry you can't go ahead without permission

Just for 5 min's only...

We are from the press, this's my card, please understand

Chakradhar! - Yes, sir

Let them in

Hi

What are you doing here?

We need to meet Col. Damle

Some soldiers of this regiment are in the hospital...

we wanted to interview them

He'll be here soon, you can wait for him,

but no cameras without permission

Okay, I'll keep it in the car

You can sit over there

The people of this village too?

Yes, shifted to the camps...

For a few days

I've seen many empty villages near the LOC these days

How strange villages look without their inhabitants

That's true

You know

Often, I've wondered... what must life have been like here

And now?

Look over there

That's the village school, the officers stay there now

There's the mosque...

and the village council...

Not even a trace of how it was

You've changed

Haven't you?

I can remember so many things...

the images in my mind as vivid as photographs

How can I forget them?

How can I make my heart understand?

I have much to tell you...

but my words can't find their way out

I hope that someday you'll hear me

for today, you are as lost as I am

Why didn't our story have an end?

When did this distance come between us?

Questions lie unanswered but yet, we are silent

I don't know who is to blame?

Webs of confusion have filled our minds

Is anything to be gained by our loss?

Why do I feel so helpless?

How did we lose our way?

How did this distance come between us?

I have much to tell you...

but my words can't find their way out

I hope that someday you'll hear me

for today, you are as lost as I am

I can remember so many things...

the images in my mind as vivid as photographs

How can I forget them?

How can I make my heart understand?

The moment you've all been waiting for...

...has finally arrived

Tonight, we will attack the upper ridges

But remember, it's going to be tougher this time

First... the mountain paths are steeper

And second

The enemy who has already lost half the feature...

will be more alert and better prepared

No problem sir - Good

We will move at exactly 2300 hours

And finally

On the highest point of this peak...

I want to see our flag fluttering

Tomorrow morning!

It's so inspiring, the way our CO speaks

Then we must fly the flag exactly where he has said

I've done half the work

Here is the flag... Now all I have to do is hoist it there

I hope I'm there to see that happen

You will be, trust me

Is that so! - You'll see!

Dear Karan... I hope you are okay

We miss you and await your return

By the way, Romi is there too Have you met her?

She broke up with Rajiv... just a few days after the engagement

I don't know what happened between you two...

but I feel you guys were made for each other

Now win the war quickly, and come home

so we can have a rocking party!

Your friend, Ashu

Karan & Vishal, let's go

Dharamvir Singh!!

Advance that way There's cover ahead

Yes, sir!

You three, move forward We'll cover fire

Tiger, come in!

There's heavy fire coming from the bunker, sir

It's difficult to move forward

Down! Get down!

Kirti!

Everybody take cover!

Take care of him, Manjit come

We're getting bogged down!

We can't stay here any longer

There's no cover on this side, sir

Raj Tilak! - Yes, Sir

Take a soldier along!

See if there's a way ahead past those rocks!

All right, sir

Sir, I'll go with him - Okay, go!

Tarsem!

Get up!

Come here, Tarsem

Tarsem! Come here

Stop the bleeding first! Quick

Painkiller, quick!

Stretcher! Take him!

Gopal Singh! - Yes, sir

It's pointless to stay here We must advance

Take the rest of your men...

Sir! You okay?

Yes, I'm all right

Sir, you can't go forward in this state

Stay here, sir... I'll get them! - No, Listen to me!

Give me fire cover when I say

I'm going to the other side of the bunker

Now!

Sir!

Sir!

I'm all right... l'm...

Hang on, sir... Capt. Mishra is down there!

Ghanshyam, take him!

Quickly! Be careful!!

Sir, I'm sending Ganga Singh to get help

Don't send him alone. You both go!

But how can we leave you in this condition?

If Ganga Singh gets shot on the way...

...they won't get the message!

Sir, why do you want to save my life?

I will not leave you here!

Jogendra!! I may be wounded but I'm still an officer!

This is an order! Now, go!

Hail India, sir - Hail India

Ganga Singh!

Akbar?

Akbar!!

Just relax. Don't worry, you'll be fine!

Don't give up, Akbar - No...

Mishra... the flag...

...up there! It must be hoisted!

You will do it, you will, Akbar!

Forceps! I need the forceps... quick.

Hang on Akbar! We've to make that trip to Malyabad,

To your mango orchards there?

Cotton! Now!

Don't give up!

You had promised we'd go together

Don't give up... don't... please Akbar

Sir!

Are you all right?

Alijoo, stop the car

You okay?

You always said...

...that my life lacked an objective

Do you remember?

Now I have one

That is my objective

Sunil

I don't doubt your determination and courage

But you've lost many men of your regiment

Many are wounded

and the remaining troops... must be exhausted

I think it's wise to give the remaining task...

another Regiment

We will succeed

I don't have time, Col. Damle!!

The intruders are shelling the highway from Peak 5179

Our convoy of trucks can't move ahead

Arms, ammunition, medical aid all supplies...

Unless the peak is cleared...

the highway is not safe for us

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Give me some more time, sir

Okay, I will give you two days

48 hours!

You'll be given marching orders after that

Gentlemen, this regiment...

has always accepted, any challenge offered...

and has delivered, whatever the cost or sacrifice

If we fail to do so today...

...the reputation of this regiment...

...will forever be tarnished

We won't let that happen, sir

Give us our orders

Our regiment

will remain on the eastern side

We will continue shelling from here...

but the shelling will serve as a decoy

Meanwhile, you 4 officers...

and 8 soldiers who can rock climb...

will, far from the enemy's sight...

go up the western side of the mountain...

and launch a surprise attack

How high is the cliff, sir?

Approximately 800 feet

Pradeep, photographs.

This side won't be watched

because it is impossible to climb it

But you must make it possible

The team leaves at first light

Start the preperation!

Yes?

Sir, I promise you...

Either this mission will be successful...

or I will not return alive

I promise you that, sir

Good luck.

We have to report at the helipad at 0530 hrs

Sir, I...

Go... go ahead.

Hi - Hi

I miss you

I think of you all the time

Me too

I'm going on a mission tomorrow

I'll wait for you

I might not return

Then I'll wait, forever

Hello - Hello daddy

Karan?

Where are you? How are you?

I can't tell you where I am...

but I'm okay, dad

Thank God for that

Your mother's been praying day and night...

and when you've called, she isn't home

This call is for you

To tell you something I have never said

You have given me so much in life...

but all I have given you, is grief

Why are you saying this, Karan?

Please don't think that I'm not aware of this

But... I love you dad.

I love you too.

Now, let me tell you something

Not one business associate or friend...

has a son or a brother out there

These people just talk big!

But I can proudly say, my son is on the battlefield

There was a time I was upset with you

but today I'm proud of you

Very proud

Thank you, dad.

For when the mission is successful

We shall await your signal

Right sir

Karan, all the best - Thank you sir

Sgt. Pritam Singh - Sir...

I know them from experience

If they lose...

they will counter-attack immediately

Don't drop your guard if you win

Remember my words

I will

Hail India, sir - Hail India

I have something to give you

This is the flag Akbar wanted to hoist

Take it

On his behalf...

on my behalf...

on behalf of us all, you must hoist it!

It will be hoisted, doctor...

It will be!

Karan, are you okay?

Yes, Vishal?

Sir, you have to go back!

Don't worry about me, the mission must be successful

Where is my gun?

Give me, my gun

Bhagirath and I will cover you

Manjit, you lead one team Karan, you the other... understood?

Yes sir - Go boys

We are out of contact The radio set is destroyed

My God!

Okay... Raj Tilak - Yes sir

Move the bodies there with due respect

Yes sir

You will stay here, Babulal

Bhagirath is badly wounded Take care of him - Yes sir

Leave some painkillers and first aid with him - Yes sir

If we don't return

it may take two or three days... for our regiment to locate you

Here's some more water

Alright, the 6 of us will have to finish this job

Let's go - Wait!

Let's not get carried away and do something...

that will benefit our enemy

What do you mean?

Think about it

We're half our strength now...

and don't know, how many intruders are up there!?

So!? We'll die trying!

I'm not afraid of death!

But if they realize that this side is accessible...

We won't get a second chance!

All I'm saying is... if we attack, we cannot fail!

Why would we fail?

You don't understand!!

Listen to me

Col. Damle sent 12 men for this mission

Now we're only 6!

We may be 6...

but if we believe in ourselves...

we're no less than 12!

All right!

You can sit here or go back

I'm going on ahead!

Let me go alone.

Whatever has to happen, will happen!

Come on, keep moving

We must reach the feature in two hours

Tiger den calling twelve oak Can you hear me? Over

No response, sir

Keep trying - Right sir

Bharasingha Come in... Do you read me?

Climb this sheer cliff at night!?

It can't be done!

It's not possible - So, now what?

We must climb it now - In the day!

He's right, look at this map

The Pakistani's can't see this side from their area

As for those up there...

we had assumed they aren't watching this side

There's a ledge, 100 feet below the ridge

We'll climb till there during the day

And when our artillery starts shelling the peak...

from the other side tonight...

we will scale the last 100 ft

The plan sounds fine

but it will take time to climb so high

What if someone spots us?

That is a possibility

But it's our only chance

Ghazanavi one basline calling over - Ghazanavi one here, over

Ghaznavi one, What's the situation there? Over

The snake's still under the heel... over

Good... keep it up... over & out

Recognise the voice? - It sounded familiar

Brigadier Jamshed Baloch!

I've heard this Brigadier is quite a fox

You need men like him for jobs like this

Is that why you're in charge of this peak, sir?

You could say that

Everything okay? - Yes, sir!

A few more days and we're through

How is that, sir?

There's been news that...

Western powers will broker a ceasefire soon

Then everyone stays put where they are now

It can't be that simple, sir

That's what happened in 1948

You see that highway down there?

That road is India's neck!!

Get a stranglehold on that...

and India will lose the Siachen Glacier

Siachen, today, and Kashmir, tomorrow!

By God's will

To control the highway, it's essential that

we don't lose this peak!

How can we lose it!

Who can seize this peak from Maj. Shahbaaz Humdani!?

They tried from here but failed

Not only did we shoot the Indian soldiers

We took our time to aim...

and shoot them here! On the forehead!!

They don't stand a chance!

Over here!

3 kms of open plain

Even a madman wouldn't come this way

Behind us is Pakistan and there, a cliff!

A 1000 ft wall

Where will these Indians come from?

It's not far now, up there

I'll try and get to it

Okay, be careful

Sir?

What is it?

I feel giddy, looking down

Take my advice

Don't look down! - Right, sir

Twelve oak, can you hear me?

Twelve oak!!

Yes, Pradeep?

There's been no contact, sir

We don't know where they are

I think we should send out a search party, sir
