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?

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

Meet my friends, Saket and Abeer

They've graduated as officers today

Congratulations

And once these stars

are on my shoulders...

I'll be an officer too

Lt. Karan Shergill

The enemy's worst nightmare!

I will do my duty...

honestly & faithfully...

serve in the regular army...

of the union of India...

and go wherever ordered...

by land...

sea...

or air...

and that...

I will observe & obey...

all commands...

of the president...

of the union of India...

and...

the Commands of...

any officer...

set over me...

even to the prior of my life

Welcome once again to

"To each his own view"

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
