World War II.

For the first time in the world, a country used a nuclear bomb.

Though American atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

put an end to the World War,

it started a new kind of race in the world.

A race to build nuclear bombs.

The ultimate symbol of power.

1971. Pakistan lost the war to India for the third time.

They wanted revenge at all costs.

They had only one way left to defeat India.

To make a nuclear bomb.

However, wars are not won with weapons, but with intelligence.

And India's trump card was RAW.

Our RAW agents infiltrated Pakistan from Peshawar to Karachi.

They were not tasked to use firearms,

but to find critical information and send it to Delhi.

Away from their land, they were the soldiers of the land.

My name is R.N. Kao. I'm the chief of RAW.

And this is the story of one such gallant soldier.

God is great

God is great

I bear witness That there is no god except the One God

Hey, Anwar!

- Tariq. - Peace be upon you.

- How are you? - All well by God's grace, Anwar.

Did you talk to your uncle about me?

I did, but he doesn't need new workers right now.

If you could arrange a meeting, Anwar.

You won't find a better tailor than me in all of Pakistan.

We've been doing it for generations. It's in my blood.

But they don't have an opening.

I hear the army is recruiting people.

Your uncle must be swamped with orders to sew new uniforms.

Try to understand, Anwar.

I don't want to be stuck sewing women's clothing forever.

And they drive a hard bargain.

- What can a 2-meter fabric... - Help him out, Anwar.

He's a God-fearing man. He prays five times a day.

I'm trying, Maulvi Saab.

- Tell your uncle I recommended him. - Sure.

- Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you too.

Thank you so much, Maulvi Saab.

- May God protect you. - May God protect you.

Army uniforms are not like women's clothing.

MOMIN TAILORS

- Do you know how to cut sleeves? - Yes.

Let me see.

Here.

Thread a needle.

Come on, sir. I can do it even while I'm sneezing.

Do it.

You better sneeze, boy. Maybe that'll help.

He needs training.

I'll pay you 300 rupees a month. Does that work for you?

Who will work for that? Right, Tariq? Is that okay?

- Works for me. - He agreed!

You start tomorrow, son.

Be careful! Are you crazy?

- I told you so many times! - Dad.

- Come on! Get in the car. - The girl made you lose your mind.

You agreed to work for 300 rupees.

Good.

Nasreen, Uncle Momin's niece.

Poor girl is blind from birth.

Nasreen.

My Lord knows

My Lord knows

How I love you

Yeah, my Lord knows

My Lord knows

My heart longs for you I've lost my heart to you

All I wish for is you

Yeah, my Lord knows

Oh, those beautiful eyes Have stolen my heart

My world is in your eyes

Oh, those beautiful eyes Have stolen my heart

My world is in your eyes

Why don't you drop me?

You're not as stealthy as you think.

I recognize your perfume from the first day.

Come, let's get going. It will be dark soon.

I am used to the dark. Are you afraid of it?

How one falls in love How the world turns colorful

I see it in your eyes

What the moonlight is How the lamps light up

I see it in your eyes

Oh, I wonder how the day rushes by

I'm lost in my thoughts

All I wish for is you

My Lord knows

My Lord knows

How I love you

How I love you...

How dare you?

You'll regret it if I see you anywhere near her.

- Listen to me. - He has ill intentions.

How would you feel if he had eyes for your daughter?

I'm holding back because you are Nasreen's father, or else...

This is his true self. He's a goon.

I love Nasreen.

I want to marry her.

He is a good, honest man, where will we find anyone better?

So I should hand my daughter to an illiterate man?

- How will he keep her happy? - Well, I'm sorry.

But you aren't very educated yourself. Didn't I let you marry my sister?

If her mom were alive, she would have talked some sense into her.

Dad, you know, I don't mind that I'm blind.

But after Mom passed away, I was a burden to you.

Tariq gave wings to my confined life.

I breathe freely when I'm with him.

No one can love me more than Tariq.

Not even you, Dad.

You see the world with my eyes

I do.

I put you on my eyelashes

I do.

My Lord knows

My Lord knows

How I love you

My Lord knows

My Lord knows

How I love you

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four...

...three, two, one...

Mr. Alam, please come.

I'll read your report tomorrow. It's my wife's birthday today.

It's not a report, sir. It's news from India.

We would like to tell our audience that India has successfully carried out

its first nuclear bomb test explosion.

This operation was codenamed Smiling Buddha.

And it was carried out in Pokhran, Rajasthan

under the supervision of the Indian Army and scientists.

Hello.

- Can you hear me? - Hello.

Yes, please speak.

I am listening to you.

Sir, what about this cake?

Sir, India has declared it a peaceful nuclear test.

Peaceful nuclear test, my foot!

Consider it a threat from India.

We've already lost East Pakistan.

Now, we'll lose Kashmir as well.

We must accelerate our nuclear weapon's program, sir.

That's what I wanted to hear.

Sir, we need a nuclear physicist and metallurgical engineer for it.

And I think there's only one guy who can do it.

A.Q. Khan. Abdul Qadeer Khan.

What do you say, Mr. Alam?

We can't trust him, sir.

Even while he was in Pakistan, he has broken many laws.

Sir, he's doing groundbreaking work in Holland.

He just wants results, and he will do anything for it.

Then he's our man. Exactly who we need.

We need him back in Pakistan.

We must keep this mission a secret from the world.

For Pakistan.

We will starve, eat grass,

but Pakistan will build a nuclear bomb!

Pakistan was ready to go to any extent to make a nuclear bomb.

And to make it happen, they brought in A.Q. Khan.

The most dangerous scientist in the world.

- Welcome home, sir. - Welcome home.

- How was your journey? - Good.

He was now Pakistan's most important asset.

And Pakistan left no stone unturned to keep his family happy.

Welcome home, Mr. Khan.

It's time to put India in its place.

Hidden from the world,

a location was chosen for the nuclear facility.

Project 706, Pakistan's top secret.

The international community must come together

to condemn India's irresponsible actions.

On one hand, PM Bhutto was pointing fingers at India.

On the other, his illegal nuclear program was in full swing.

Enter Colonel Gadhafi of Libya.

He's a terrorist to the world, but for Pakistan, he's a close ally.

Gadhafi provided 500 million dollars in funding to Pakistan.

Banned nuclear components were smuggled in from the European black market.

And the uranium used in the nuclear bomb was smuggled in from Africa.

Pakistan was very close to achieving its goal.

I request the international community to put sanctions against India.

To stop its heinous designs.

This is the main centrifuge area.

- The outer perimeter. - And the inner perimeter?

- No, I mean... - Now for some special news.

Today in United Nations, Pakistan has got an important victory against India.

Declaring the Pokhran explosions irresponsible,

India's atomic program has been put on hold.

You burned it, didn't you?

Yikes.

That's what happens when you cook on high heat.

- Okay. - Move.

I'll be jinxed if you keep staring like this.

It's my right to look at you to my heart's content,

for I'm your husband, love of my life.

Bravo, my Shakespeare!

- Bravo. - Thank you.

That's enough now. The doctor advised you to rest.

There are five months to go. I can't rest so long.

All right, then.

Are you leaving early today?

Yeah, Uncle is coming in late today. So I have to open the shop.

Well, won't you kiss him goodbye today?

Traitor, come out!

After all...

Traitor, come out!

- Traitor, come out! - Break the door.

What's the matter? Are you worried about the baby again?

No. I'm just a bit anxious.

- It's a huge responsibility. - Lord Almighty has blessed us.

Trust me. You'll be the best dad.

Sir!

I don't care if I live or die.

But as long as I'm alive, I'll continue to serve.

I'll serve this nation and its people.

Mr. Kao is here. Look.

- Who should be our PM? - Mother of our nation!

RAW Chief is here from Delhi.

It must be a national emergency.

Madam, it is a national emergency.

Pakistan is making a nuclear bomb.

We have intel from Europe

that Pakistan bought banned nuclear components from the black market

and imported uranium from Africa.

They stopped us and are making one themselves?

We did everything legally.

Madam, we need to expose Pakistan.

The world needs to know the truth.

Where is their nuclear facility?

It's Pakistan's top secret. No one knows about it.

It's a radical country.

Before launching a nuclear attack on India...

You know they won't think twice.

I absolutely agree.

Pakistan is very close to conducting nuclear tests.

And we must find their nuclear facility and neutralize it before that.

What if it starts a war?

Wars only scare those who have never won one.

Pakistan should worry about it, not us.

We are running out of time, Madam.

And we don't need ammunition here. We need intelligence.

Someone who can pull this off without attracting any attention.

And you have someone like that in Pakistan?

I have just the right man for the job.

I trust you, Kao. Give him the mission.

India is counting on him.

After declaring an emergency,

election campaigns are in full swing in India.

Because of sensitive relations with New Delhi...

Dear, switch off the radio.

They keep yapping about India and Pakistan all day.

- Yeah. - Here, Tariq. Have some.

The food is delicious.

Dad, have some.

- No. - Here.

One shouldn't act greedy while visiting someone else's house.

Someone else's house?

You are the eldest in this family. Please have some.

So, Tariq, have you started looking for a better job?

Or do you plan to keep my daughter stuck in that shack forever?

Dad, it's my house too.

I won't listen to this anymore.

Come on, brother.

- It was better with the radio on. - India's increasing...

Nasreen.

I have to visit Naved after dropping you home.

He got a new order from Dubai.

I'm thinking of starting a business with him.

Since when did Dad's jabs start bothering you?

Sometimes I feel he's right.

You could have found someone better than me.

Well, that's true.

I just married you because of this scooter.

If I wanted to, I could have even married Dharmendra.

Why do girls love that actor so much?

And you haven't even seen him.

I haven't seen you either.

But that voice is all that he needs.

"I'll kill each one of you!"

- "Gabbar Singh, here I come!" - "Gabbar Singh, here I come!"

Tariq.

So, Mr. Romeo, have you tucked the blind girl in bed?

Are you angry?

Look, Romeo, she's just a cover. She's not your real wife.

Yes, sir.

And I hear you've started praying five times a day.

Your traitor father must be dancing in his grave.

Shall we get to the point, sir?

Well, I think you are useless.

But unfortunately, the boss trusts you.

Do you hear me?

Yes, sir.

I guess you know about our fireworks in Pokhran.

Yes, sir.

Our neighbors also want to do it.

They say, "Our fireworks will make your jaw drop."

We asked them where they are getting those from,

where they plan to make them, but they won't tell us.

- You must find that location. - Okay, sir.

And this operation will be called

Mission Majnu.

Okay, sir.

There's a roadside food stall at Chakri Road.

Go there and tell them that you want Gorilla brand spices.

Okay, sir.

And now... say your real name.

- That's not the protocol, sir. - Name!

- Amandeep Singh. - Full name.

Come on, come out, traitor. Come out!

Surrender now!

- Break the door! - Traitor!

Amandeep Ajitpal Singh.

Bloody son of a traitor.

Just rot there!

To find Pakistan's nuclear facility, we need our best man.

We can't screw this up.

Speak frankly, Mishra. I chose you because you have no filter.

So, tell me.

Sir, Amandeep is a mistake.

You're making a blunder by giving him this mission.

The whole department is against it.

It was his father who had sold sensitive military information to Pakistan.

Then how can Amandeep be reliable, sir?

His father betrayed the country and the son is paying penance.

What could be a better reason?

If it were anyone else,

they would have changed their name and lived an easy life.

But Aman took the tough path.

Amandeep is the number one cadet in the history of the academy.

My best student!

He won't let India down.

But what is his reference point?

Where will he start?

Pakistan Army's headquarters are in Rawalpindi.

And Aman knows that Pakistan

is not run by the government, but by its army.

Hey, man! One tandoori please.

With Gorilla brand spices.

Darling, do you plan to stay here till we get married?

Hey!

This gun is for you.

Sharma asked me to hand it to you.

And you turn me into minced meat.

Angry young man.

I want an account of every single penny.

I'm a spy, not an accountant.

Oh, my God.

A lover!

So she's your wife. I hope you haven't fallen in love.

They teach us in training. Whatever you do, be thorough with it.

Maybe you were sleeping in class.

How did you know? I really used to sleep.

But don't take me for a fool.

I'm a badass.

To fool around is one thing, but marriage... Never.

I've seen many like you.

A man can turn soft.

Take the gun!

You keep it.

That's not how I work.

Of course. You work with your killer eyes, Mr. Romeo.

At least ask my name.

- Tell me. - Aslam Usmaniya.

That's my real name. My food is real too.

Maybe bring your wife along some day.

Come and see me if you wish

Or go to hell, darling

Sir, he's quite something.

Fit and tall with personality.

He's a man of few words. And he's tough too.

Should I get your sister married to him?

Sir, all I mean is he's quite a guy.

Keep an eye on him.

And don't cozy up too much.

If he messes up, you'll be the one to shoot him.

Got it?

I had to lock it. The bill got expensive.

They make calls behind my back.

And here are the keys

in case you need to make a call.

Yeah. Thank you.

- Shall I deliver the uniform? - Yeah.

The one on top is for the brigadier. Deliver that first.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- I'll do it. - Okay.

Shut down your shop, if you can't do your job well!

Sorry, sir. I'll send someone right away.

Yeah, sure.

- Rasheed! - Yeah.

Hurry to the brigadier's place.

- What's the matter, Uncle? - They're all useless.

Two buttons are missing from the brigadier's uniform.

Well, don't worry.

Give me the buttons. I'll go and fix it right away.

- And I'll apologize too. - Yes.

That's better. He'll be glad to see someone from the family.

- Okay. - Here.

- Take these buttons. - Okay.

- You are here to see the brigadier? - Yes, sir.

Go on.

Sir, your tea.

Would you like some tea?

No, sir, I just realized.

You attended my wedding.

Right.

- Aren't you Rasool's son-in-law? - Yes.

That's why you looked familiar. All well with you?

Yes, by God's grace.

I'll be a dad soon, sir.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

I've decided already.

If it's a boy, he'll join the army, sir.

Good.

If I were in the army, you would have seen me

shoot each one of those Indians.

But I would've spared Hema Malini.

Sir, I read in the newspaper

that the Indians are making a bomb called "Atom"

that can destroy all of Pakistan.

Look, if anything happens to my family,

I won't spare them, sir.

They don't practice what they preach.

They can even fix a cricket match.

That won't happen.

- Pakistan is not less than India. - But we don't have an atom bomb, sir.

Well, we'll have one.

But how? We don't have the money nor qualified people.

I won't make my son a soldier. I'll make him an atom bomb expert, sir.

My son will make an atom bomb for Pakistan.

We don't have to wait that long.

Pakistani scientists are educated and intelligent.

They are here from abroad.

God willing, we'll get the good news soon.

Sir, are we making a bomb?

Victory to us! Victory to Pakistan! Victory to us...

But where are they making it? In Rawalpindi?

Because I want to see it, sir.

Well, it's around here.

Everyone will see it.

Eid celebrations will be grand this time.

Sir, it's not confirmed yet, but there'll be fireworks before Eid.

It could very well be tomorrow. Just give me the location.

It's not confirmed yet,

but the probability is high it'll be around Rawalpindi.

Your assumptions are useless to me.

That's why I said, sir, it's not confirmed yet.

I need more time and...

So when will you confirm? After they destroy Delhi?

Protocol, sir!

To hell with your protocol.

My line is secure. And I don't care about you.

We don't have to wait that long.

Pakistani scientists are educated and intelligent.

Hey. I would like that book on nuclear physics, please.

Sir, I have no idea what kind of investigation he is doing.

He's either out buying books or at the library.

PAKISTAN ARMY WILL BE A GREAT POWER BY 1980

Dr. Faisal, Arif, Azam.

Azam... Where have I seen that name before?

Yes!

It's just research and analysis. Forget about seeing any action.

He was angry when he came, but I don't know what's going on now.

Damn it.

Nasreen! Are you okay?

Had I known there'd be so many toilet trips,

I would never have gotten pregnant.

- Can I help? - What would you do?

Nobody can help, but I need to sit down.

Now I know why they have western toilets abroad.

Pakistani scientists are educated and intelligent.

They are here from abroad.

- What are you doing? - What would I do without you?

Come on. I have to rush to the bathroom.

- Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you too.

- Do you have western toilets? - Western toilets?

You seem to enjoy luxuries, mister.

Squat toilets work better though.

Hey, do you have western toilets here?

BILLA'S SANITARY WARE SHOP

No, you won't get it anywhere.

It has to be ordered specially.

- Okay. - It's quite a process to get it.

Though I did get it done on government orders a few years back.

I had a tough time.

I need it urgently.

My mom struggles to use squat toilets.

- May Almighty help her. - Yeah.

- It'll be quite expensive. - I have the advance payment right here.

- All right. It's 500 rupees. - Okay.

- And 100 rupees for the labor... - Here you go.

Consider it done.

- Listen. - Yeah?

Well, I'm spending so much...

If I could see the job you did before, I would feel a lot better.

- Yes, of course. - Okay.

- Where is it? - The address should be here.

Where is Shahi Street?

Here it is. There it is.

In all of Rawalpindi,

only Billa can get this done.

Fantastic! Thank you.

House of the People, elections results are out

and, by winning 298 seats, the Janata Party has defeated

Madam's government with a full majority.

This defeat is attributed to the emergency declared by the prime minister.

This is the worst result the current government has ever faced.

As per our sources...

You lost the Raebareli seat, Madam.

Good.

Now I'll have the time to read some good books.

Who is being elected as the next PM by the alliance?

This is Mahatma Gandhi's nation.

Government can never be bigger than the constitution.

The abuse faced by the citizens during the emergency

will be compensated.

That sounds like revenge to me, Mr. PM.

To me, it sounds like justice.

Will we see a change in Pakistan policy, Mr. PM?

Anything can be resolved through talks.

They are our closest neighbors.

They should be our closest friend too.

Don't you think that will be difficult, Mr. PM?

You are very difficult to convince, my friend.

All good things are difficult to achieve.

But my government...

will not stop trying.

But, sir...

End this investigation.

It's a waste of time and money.

Thanks to the conspiracy theories you and your Madam came up with,

our relationships with neighboring countries are ruined.

I beg to differ, sir.
