orders after that

Gentlemen, this regiment...

has always accepted,

any challenge offered...

and has delivered, whatever

the cost or sacrifice

If we fail to do so today...

...the reputation of this regiment...

...will forever be tarnished

We won't let that happen, sir

Give us our orders

Our regiment

will remain on the eastern side

We will continue

shelling from here...

but the shelling will

serve as a decoy

Meanwhile, you 4 officers...

and 8 soldiers who can rock climb...

will, far from the enemy's sight...

go up the western side

of the mountain...

and launch a surprise attack

How high is the cliff, sir?

Approximately 800 feet

pradeep, photographs.

This side won't be watched

because it is impossible to climb it

But you must make it possible

The team leaves at first light

Start the preperation!

Yes?

Sir, I promise you...

Either this mission

will be successful...

or I will not return alive

I promise you that, sir

Good luck.

We have to report at the

helipad at 0530 hrs

Sir, I...

Go... go ahead.

Hi

- Hi

I miss you

I think of you all the time

Me too

I'm going on a mission tomorrow

I'll wait for you

I might not return

Then I'll wait, forever

Hello

- Hello daddy

Karan?

Where are you? How are you?

I can't tell you where I am...

but I'm okay, dad

Thank God for that

Your mother's been praying

day and night...

and when you've called,

she isn't home

This call is for you

To tell you something

I have never said

You have given me

so much in life...

but all I have given you, is grief

Why are you saying this, Karan?

Please don't think that

I'm not aware of this

But... I love you dad.

I love you too.

Now, let me tell you something

Not one business associate

or friend...

has a son or a brother out there

These people just talk big!

But I can proudly say, my son

is on the battlefield

There was a time

I was upset with you

but today I'm proud of you

very proud

Thank you, dad.

For when the mission is successful

We shall await your signal

Right sir

Karan, all the best

- Thank you sir

Sgt. Pritam Singh

- Sir...

I know them from experience

If they lose...

they will counter-attack immediately

Don't drop your guard if you win

Remember my words

I will

Hail India, sir

- Hail India

I have something to give you

This is the flag

Akbar wanted to hoist

Take it

On his behalf...

on my behalf...

on behalf of us all,

you must hoist it!

It will be hoisted, doctor...

It will be!

Karan, are you okay?

Yes, vishal?

Sir, you have to go back!

Don't worry about me, the mission

must be successful

Where is my gun?

Give me, my gun

Bhagirath and I will cover you

Manjit, you lead one team

Karan, you the other... understood?

Yes sir

- Go boys

We are out of contact

The radio set is destroyed

My God!

Okay... Raj Tilak

- Yes sir

Move the bodies there

with due respect

Yes sir

You will stay here, Babulal

Bhagirath is badly wounded

Take care of him - Yes sir

Leave some painkillers and

first aid with him - Yes sir

If we don't return

it may take two or three days...

for our regiment to locate you

Here's some more water

Alright, the 6 of us will have to

finish this job

Let's go

- Wait!

Let's not get carried away

and do something...

that will benefit our enemy

What do you mean?

Think about it

We're half our strength now...

and don't know, how many

intruders are up there!?

So!? We'll die trying!

I'm not afraid of death!

But if they realize that

this side is accessible...

We won't get a second chance!

All I'm saying is...

if we attack, we cannot fail!

Why would we fail?

You don't understand!!

Listen to me

Col. Damle sent 12 men

for this mission

Now we're only 6!

We may be 6...

but if we believe in ourselves...

we're no less than 12!

All right!

You can sit here or go back

I'm going on ahead!

Let me go alone.

Whatever has to happen,

will happen!

Come on, keep moving

We must reach the feature

in two hours

Tiger den calling twelve oak

Can you hear me? Over

No response, sir

Keep trying

- Right sir

Bharasingha Come in...

Do you read me?

Climb this sheer cliff at night!?

It can't be done!

It's not possible

- So, now what?

We must climb it now

- In the day!

He's right, look at this map

The pakistani's can't see this

side from their area

As for those up there...

we had assumed they aren't

watching this side

There's a ledge, 100 feet

below the ridge

We'll climb till there during the day

And when our artillery starts

shelling the peak...

from the other side tonight...

we will scale the last 100 ft

The plan sounds fine

but it will take time

to climb so high

What if someone spots us?

That is a possibility

But it's our only chance

Ghazanavi one basline calling over

- Ghazanavi one here, over

Ghaznavi one, What's the

situation there? Over

The snake's still under

the heel... over

Good... keep it up... over & out

Recognise the voice?

- It sounded familiar

Brigadier jamshed Baloch!

I've heard this Brigadier

is quite a fox

You need men like him for

jobs like this

Is that why you're in charge

of this peak, sir?

You could say that

Everything okay?

- Yes, sir!

A few more days and we're through

How is that, sir?

There's been news that...

Western powers will broker

a ceasefire soon

Then everyone stays put where

they are now

It can't be that simple, sir

That's what happened in 1948

You see that highway down there?

That road is India's neck!!

Get a stranglehold on that...

and India will lose the Siachen Glacier

Siachen, today, and Kashmir, tomorrow!

By God's will

To control the highway,

it's essential that

we don't lose this peak!

How can we lose it!

Who can seize this peak from Maj.

Shahbaaz Humdani!?

They tried from here but failed

Not only did we shoot

the Indian soldiers

We took our time to aim...

and shoot them here!

On the forehead!!

They don't stand a chance!

Over here!

3 kms of open plain

Even a madman wouldn't come this way

Behind us is pakistan

and there, a cliff!

A 1000 ft wall

Where will these Indians come from?

It's not far now, up there

I'll try and get to it

Okay, be careful

Sir?

What is it?

I feel giddy, looking down

Take my advice

Don't look down!

- Right, sir

Twelve oak, can you hear me?

Twelve oak!!

Yes, pradeep?

There's been no contact, sir

We don't know where they are

I think we should send out

a search party, sir

Maybe tomorrow

Today, we will stick to the plan

Shelling starts at 0400 hrs

Yes sir.

Keep a lookout!

They've attacked this side before

They'll try again any movement?

- None, sir

Even so, stay alert!

If they do come,

it will be from here!

Sir!

The shelling has stopped

Why did this shelling happen?

Why did it stop?

Shelling is done to provide

cover to one's soldiers

If there's no one coming this way...

To the cliff!

They must have scaled the wall, go!

Move forward!

Capt. Srivastav needs support!

Yes, sir!!

This is Tiger's den
