All except where he was standing

- Then?

Then he and Kishorilal

moved forward...

Kishorilal was hit by a bullet,

but not him!

Have you heard about his luck sir?

I have now

- You can have my luck, buddy

I'll take it right away!

- Here you go!

Raj Tilak

- Yes, sir

Didn't your wife just have a baby?

Was it a boy or a girl?

A Girl, sir

- You're a lucky man

You see that, sir?

These soldiers were sad yesterday...

grieving for their dead comrades

But see, how quickly a soldier

overcomes his grief

What else can he do?

People tell us that war is bad

I ask them who knows this

more than a soldier?

Then why have wars?

Sir, the Almighty made

only one earth

But man's greed divided it

This became mine, that became yours

I'm glad the moon is up in the sky

we would have cut it to bits,

had it been down here

That's so true

Sir!

I went to the Army hospital

Ramanna is out of danger

- Good news sir

He's asked me to give you a message

What's that, sir?

Thank you

Sir, the CO said the work

is only half done

lt'll be complete, soon

Take this

- What's this, sir?

The area map of our final objective

Keep it with you and study it

Every path and trail

of this mountain

should be ingrained in your memory

- Right sir - Go ahead

We are here to meet

Col. Sunil Damle

Do you have permission?

- No we don't but...

Sorry you can't go ahead

without permission

just for 5 min's only...

We are from the press,

this's my card, please understand

Chakradhar!

- Yes, sir

Let them in

Hi

What are you doing here?

We need to meet Col. Damle

Some soldiers of this regiment

are in the hospital...

we wanted to interview them

He'll be here soon,

you can wait for him,

but no cameras without permission

Okay, I'll keep it in the car

You can sit over there

The people of this village too?

Yes, shifted to the camps...

for a few days

I've seen many empty villages

near the LOC these days

How strange villages look without

their inhabitants

That's true

You know

Often, I've wondered... what must life

have been like here

And now?

Look over there

That's the village school,

the officers stay there now

There's the mosque...

and the village council...

Not even a trace of how it was

You've changed

Haven't you?

I can remember so many things...

the images in my mind as

vivid as photographs

How can I forget them?

How can I make my heart understand?

I have much to tell you...

but my words

can't find their way out

I hope that someday you'll hear me

for today,

you are as lost as I am

Why didn't our story have an end?

When did this distance

come between us?

Questions lie unanswered

but yet, we are silent

I don't know who is to blame?

Webs of confusion have

filled our minds

Is anything to be gained

by our loss?

Why do I feel so helpless?

How did we lose our way?

How did this distance

come between us?

I have much to tell you...

but my words can't

find their way out

I hope that someday

you'll hear me

for today, you are as

lost as I am

I can remember so many things...

the images in my mind as

vivid as photographs

How can I forget them?

How can I make my heart understand?

The moment you've all been

waiting for...

...has finally arrived

Tonight, we will attack

the upper ridges

But remember, it's going

to be tougher this time

first...

the mountain paths are steeper

And second

The enemy who has already lost

half the feature...

will be more alert and

better prepared

No problem sir

- Good

We will move at exactly 2300 hours

And finally

On the highest point of this peak...

I want to see our flag fluttering

Tomorrow morning!

It's so inspiring, the way

our CO speaks

Then we must fly the flag exactly

where he has said

I've done half the work

Here is the flag...

Now all I have to do is hoist it there

I hope I'm there to see that happen

You will be, trust me

Is that so!

- You'll see!

Dear Karan...

I hope you are okay

We miss you and await your return

By the way, Romi is there too

Have you met her?

She broke up with Rajiv...

just a few days after the engagement

I don't know what happened

between you two...

but I feel you guys were

made for each other

Now win the war quickly,

and come home

so we can have a rocking party!

Your friend, Ashu

Karan & vishal, let's go

Dharamvir Singh!!

Advance that way

There's cover ahead

Yes, sir!

You three, move forward

We'll cover fire

Tiger, come in!

There's heavy fire coming

from the bunker, sir

It's difficult to move forward

Down! Get down!

Kirti!

Everybody take cover!

Take care of him, Manjit come

We're getting bogged down!

We can't stay here any longer

There's no cover on this side, sir

Raj Tilak!

- Yes, Sir

Take a soldier along!

See if there's a way ahead

past those rocks!

All right, sir

Sir, I'll go with him

- Okay, go!

Tarsem!

Get up!

Come here, Tarsem

Tarsem! Come here

Stop the bleeding first! Quick

painkiller, quick!

Stretcher! Take him!

Gopal Singh!

- Yes, sir

It's pointless to stay here

We must advance

Take the rest of your men...

Sir! You okay?

Yes, I'm all right

Sir, you can't go forward

in this state

Stay here, sir... I'll get them!

- No, Listen to me!

Give me fire cover when I say

I'm going to the other

side of the bunker

Now!

Sir!

Sir!

I'm all right... l'm...

Hang on, sir... Capt.

Mishra is down there!

Ghanshyam, take him!

Quickly! Be careful!!

Sir, I'm sending Ganga Singh

to get help

Don't send him alone.

You both go!

But how can we leave you

in this condition?

If Ganga Singh gets shot

on the way...

...they won't get the message!

Sir, why do you want to

save my life?

I will not leave you here!

Jogendra!! I may be wounded but

I'm still an officer!

This is an order! Now, go!

Hail India, sir

- Hail India

Ganga Singh!

Akbar?

Akbar!!

Just relax.

Don't worry, you'll be fine!

Don't give up, Akbar

- No...

Mishra... the flag...

...up there! It must be hoisted!

You will do it, you will, Akbar!

Forceps! I need the forceps...

quick.

Hang on Akbar! We've to

make that trip to Malyabad,

To your mango orchards there?

Cotton! Now!

Don't give up!

You had promised we'd go together

Don't give up...

don't... please Akbar

Sir!

Are you all right?

Alijoo, stop the car

You okay?

You always said...

...that my life lacked

an objective

Do you remember?

Now I have one

That is my objective

Sunil

I don't doubt your determination

and courage

But you've lost many men of

your regiment

Many are wounded

and the remaining troops...

must be exhausted

I think it's wise to give

the remaining task...

another Regiment

We will succeed

I don't have time, Col. Damle!!

The intruders are shelling the

highway from peak 5179

Our convoy of trucks

can't move ahead

Arms, ammunition, medical aid

all supplies...

Unless the peak is cleared...

the highway is not safe for us

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I need more time, sir

I can give you two days

48 hours!

You'll be given marching
