Congratulations! - Sir! - Sir!

So Major! Your dream to become a hero is unfulfilled.

It doesn't matter sir. I will go back and join the film industry.

Right! There are some things which look good in films.

Sir, it is urgent.

What happened sir? - I was not wrong, Captain.

Ahmed.

As it is said by the families of the captive soldiers of 1971

war...

...has requested the Red Cross Society...

...to assist them in finding them.

They accuse that the condition of the soldiers...

...in different jails is very bad.

They should be detected as soon as possible.

And steps to send them back to India should be taken.

General Zia-ul-Haq has given the Red Cross permission...

...to inspect every jail in the country.

Zia-ul-Haq! What happened to Bhutto?

Captain, the government in Pakistan has changed.

Military rule has taken over.

General Zia-ul-Haq's government...

...has permitted the new Red Cross to inspect...

...every jail in the country.

And has openly announced that...

...according to the Simla treaty...

...all the Indian soldiers of the 1971 war...

...have been returned.

And right now no Indian soldier is present...

...in any Pakistan jail.

India has to think five times before making...

...any false and irresponsible accusations.

What is the meaning of this?

It means that the Red Cross is in Pakistan...

...at this moment.

And they fear that they would come here.

There is immense tension on the border and...

...we are very close to the border.

We have made an attempt to escape from here.

And they want to be sure that until we are here...

...another attempt is not made.

As soon as the Red Cross leaves Pakistan...

...this camp will be closed.

And we will be sent back to the same place...

...from where we were brought.

And the world wouldn't know...

...when we died in the Pakistan jails.

But such a thing cannot happen.

I have full faith.

They are taking care of us.

And they cannot say such a big lie.

I think it would be a big sin to doubt their honesty. - Sir!

I have full faith that they will implement what they said.

And we will be sent back to India.

Sir, don't hit! Don't hit! Don't hit! - Sir! Sir!

What did you hear?

The same which we doubted. - What?

The same which you doubted. - What do you mean?

I mean that we had thought of it on the way, sir.

We did not have the energy left. Or else...

Or else, we had already thought of fleeing...

...before reaching here, sir.

Yes sir. Yes sir. And after going out from here...

...the first thing you will need is this, sir.

Leave them.

Thank you sir! Thank you sir!

Burn this tabloid, Ahmed! - Ok sir.

And no one should know of this thing outside.

Yes sir. - And keep one thing in mind...

...that we have very less time on hand.

Whatever we have to do...

...we have to do it from tomorrow itself.

Why from tomorrow, sir? Why not from today itself?

Why not right now?

What do you mean?

Sir. Sir. - What is it? - Sir, we have a request.

We wanted a group photograph.

You are not standing in the queue.

Sir, we had come to request you.

What was the name of that place near Jamma Masjid?

Karim - Yes! Karim!

Sir, they wanted a group photograph, sir.

Please sir, it is a request sir. Please.

Sure. Sure. Ah... where are you two from.

I am from Delhi, sir. - And you?

Sir, Srinagar! Kashmir!

Have you ever been there?

Not at least on the other side of Kashmir.

Both of you were saying about a group photograph.

Please sir. This is a request, sir. Please.

So go and organise it. We are coming.

Thank you very much, sir. - Thank you sir.

'And our mission had started.'

'We had decided that we will escape from here.'

'The day was fixed. That is the Pakistani Independence

Day.'

'The same night, in the presence of Colonel Puri...

...Subedar Ahmed slapped captain Jacob.'

'For which in the next day's morning parade...

...he was asked to load a weight of 10 Kgs...

...on his head and walk as punishment.'

Parade! Attention!

Look in front!

Parade! At ease!

Sir, I will not walk any more.

I am saying pick it up! Pick up!

You are not my senior!

I am your senior's, senior!

Then where were you until now! - Don't argue with me!

You! - Don't abuse me!

How did you abuse him? - Sir! Sir!

Sir! He had talked to me like this!

You ask me to get food for you! I will say it once again!

If you will not take care of your seniors...

...then who will take care.

If you would have been in India...

...you would be court-martial.

Then do my court-martial.

Ok, enough! Major Suraj Singh...

...I want to start the proceedings...

...of his court-martial right now.

Sir, this is PoW camp not your battalion!

And we are in another nation.

But we are in the army? And rules are rules!

Sir, will this court-martial be valid in India.

After reaching India we will not be removed from the army!

We will have to resume our duties!

But there is no legal set up here!

Legal set up can be created!

Colonel Puri is right!

I would like to prosecute this case!

Come Ahmed. - Sir, this baldy.

Come on! Come on!

Come, everybody. Follow me.

Come sir.

Good Ahmed! - Thank you sir.

Anew disturbance has been created in the camp.

Yes they are going to court-martial him.

They have requested for a court to be set up in the barrack.

They are saying that they will give...

...their verdict by 15th August.

As it is you are coming on 14th August.

What do you say Colonel Sheriar?

Let them proceed. It is a matter of 1-2 months.

We will have fewer tensions.

Ok permission granted. - Sir.
