...what you are trying so hard to hide, that will be exposed.

And even you know, sir that this won't be any small news.

Now what to do?

Sir, we will have to wait.

Let the matter cool down. Then we will take some action.

But till then... please, sir... go and tackle Sabina Jehangir.

Please, sir! Please! - No! No! No way! No, Malik! No!

Listen to me, sir! While talking to them, be calm.

You know how the matter could aggravate.

Sir, it will become very serious. Please.

Come, sir. - What trouble is this!

I am really sorry, ma'am. I got hyper.

Actually the conditions were such.

To tell you the truth... I myself can't understand...

...how this rumour about POWs spread.

You can look at the Chaklala camp.

I have seen that!

That ends the matter.

The matter starts from here, sir.

You get yourself prepared to face the press tomorrow.

You are giving me threats of the press!

Do you know whom you are talking to!

Since when I am politely talking to you...

...and you are harassing me!

Look, ma'am. This is the military matter.

I won't tolerate your interference in this at all!

You have crossed your limit!

Sir. Ma'am, why are you wasting your and our time?

Why don't you leave?

There was one explosion there.

And within 24 hours there was another explosion here.

It was not an explosion. It was an accident, ma'am.

How can it be an accident?

Two cars dashed with each other. That's all.

Who were inside the car?

Living people like you and me.

Now ma'am, you are actually and seriously...

...testing my patience. I am telling you.

Look! Look!

This is a highly sensitive area!

Civilians are not allowed here. You know that!

If you need the headquarters number, I will give it to you.

Go and file the complaint. That's all.

Sabina Jehangir. - Yes.

Come.

Come on! Come on, Major! We have to take quick action!

Right, sir! Soldiers! Dispatch the vehicles towards the

valley.

Petrol is finished.

We needed this only up to here.

Come on, get down.

Slowly, Kabir. Be careful.

Hold him. Gotu, hold him.

Look! Why don't you attend to him?

Are you all right?

Yes.

Take him, take him over there.

It is bit on a slope.

Will you be able to walk?

I will try, sir.

Good.

Come. Take support of my shoulder. Come.

Come on. Come on.

Kabir! Get up!

Come on! Come on!

Gotu!

The three of them sacrificed their lives in fighting.

Learn to respect the martyrs.

Come on.

You can do it. Come on.

Kabir! - Yes, sir!

Do not give up! Come on!

No!

Gotu! - Yes sir! Support him! - Yes sir!

It is all snow everywhere!!

And it is a steep climb up.

We will get caught in daylight.

We will have to wait here until it is dark.

Gotu, help Kabir to sit down.

Slowly. Slowly. Careful.

One minute, sir. Slowly.

Slowly.

Ok. - Sir! - The bag! Bag!

Take off the bag.

Relax.

Gotu, get two sticks.

Hurry!

Straighten your leg.

Come on!

No, it's nothing! It's nothing! - Where is it hurting?

Here, is it hurting here?

Yes sir! - Here? Is it? - Yes sir!

No, it's nothing! It's nothing!

It's going to be perfectly all right!

Bring the sticks!

Bring the sticks!

It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.

See to it that he doesn't straighten his leg.

That means they have not gone towards the border.

Search in the vicinity for the bodies.

Comb the whole area.

Even if they are alive, they cannot go very far.

Sir! Sir! Please sir!

Please sir, the bike can be thrown down also, sir!

They must have thrown away the bike, right? - Yes sir.

And then they will go on foot!

Will they cover the distance of 40 kilometers of ice on foot?

Yes sir. Right sir.

Major Malik, they are not as smart as you!

You are absolutely right, sir. - Why don't you sit down

...for a second and have a cigarette?

You're never wrong, sir! You're never wrong, sir!

They are smarter than you, colonel Sheriyar Khan...

...they are smarter than you!

Sir, we cannot extricate it!

Hey, 3 or 4 of you come here!

Help them!

Bring it out! - Pull it!

Raise it!

Bring it out!

Careful!

What is this?

When the war was already over...

...what was the need to detain these people?

We have earned the curses of their family and people.

And it has been a nuisance for us.

If I say this, I will be called a traitor.

If I don't speak up then this conscience...

...of Pakistan will torture me all my life.

Gotu? - Yes?

It is time. Prepare to start off.

Kabir? - Yes?

Open. Open your mouth.

Will you be able to walk? - What?

Will you be able to walk?

I will try... sir.

Very good.

Gotu! - I will try.

Check the ammunition once again.

Kabir?

What happened? - This... is not coming out sir.

There is a strange sensation in this leg.

One minute.

One minute.

Pull! Pull it hard!

Try harder! Pull it harder!

What is this?

Sir, I was not feeling any sensation in it, sir!

Bloody hell! Was it in the ice since then? - Yes sir.

Idiot! Why didn't you take precaution?

Were you sleeping?

It is frost bite. It will climb up slowly!

Calm down! Calm down! Nothing will happen.

Do one thing. Get on my shoulder. - I won't be able to

escape.

It will slowly...

Sir, please leave me behind!

I won't be able to walk any more.

Even your father will walk!

Hey, carry him on your shoulders!

Please leave me, Sir.

Come!

Nothing will happen! Kabir, nothing will happen!

Nothing will happen; I am there.

Sir... - I am there!

...there could be confronting ahead sir!

In that case you can fire back.

Your hands are not injured, right? - Please sir!

We might have to run, sir.

We might have to run away, sir.

If he utters another word, shoot him point blank!

Do you know, sir?

Once a man asked another, do Punjabis live in Pakistan?

He said:
Yes, they do live.

He asked:
Sindhi?

Sindhis also live there.

Mr. Kabir, are you listening?

Okay.

So he asked:
Our Muslim brothers?

So he said that they also live there.

What do you want to ask?

He said that these people live in India also.

So why was Pakistan created?

Sir, do you know what he said?

Sir, he said that it was a mistake!

In future we will not create it!

Sir! - Yes?

Sir, you know...

Puna street will be crowed right now.

Ok.

That city... sleeps very late, sir.

Yes.

People go out with their families in the evening.

Sir, I too used to go with Chandni and Zarina.

Gotu, Chandni is Kabir's daughter.

Oh! Sir, how old would she be now?

Mr. Kabir?

You are unnecessarily insisting, sir.

Sir, if you carry me, this 2 hours journey will stretch to 6

hours.

Shut up!

Sir, can I tell you something? - Yes.

I respect you more than my father, sir.

And army officer is like a father.

Idiot! - Sir, you are right.

What? - Idiot!

Have you ever heard this idiot, Kabir sir?

Gotu!

Gotu!

Come here.

Do you see that?

Oh yes!

Do you see something? - Yes sir.

Something red...

Red...

Gotu!

Gotu!

We have reached!

There is... India!

Our home!

Sir! Sir!

Sir! Sir! Sir!

Sir! Sir! Sir!

We have reached!

Mr. Kabir! Mr. Kabir! Mr. Kabir!
