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!

Lmagine 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!
