Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran Page #4

---

With our heads held high

We refuse to bow down

For you, my motherland

I shall lay down my life for you

For you, my motherland

I will leave no stone unturned

What is the pass code for today?

Embrace me, for we might

never get this night back.

Carry on.

The ground trembles

As we stride ahead

There is no stopping us now

Fulfilling our duties

With our heads held high

We refuse to bow down

For you, my motherland

I shall lay down my life for you

For you, my motherland

I will leave no stone unturned

My dreams were fettered

All this while

And could not touch the sky

The road ahead beckons us

With renewed hope we march

For you, my motherland

I shall lay down my life for you

For you, my motherland

I will leave no stone unturned

The ground trembles

As we stride ahead

There is no stopping us now

Fulfilling our duties

With our heads held high

We refuse to bow down

The ground trembles

As we stride ahead

There is no stopping us now

Fulfilling our duties

With our heads held high

We refuse to bow down

This thing is taking way too long

to go down.

All these sheets are rusted.

It will take us time

to get this shaft ready.

That's it.

We can't go any further.

There is a lot of water underneath.

Can we stop for a minute?

You need to be strong

if you want to move up the ranks.

Look up.

Keep it here.

At this speed, we will not

be able to pump out the water in time.

We need more powerful pumps.

But the water will

continue to flow out.

How do we hide this?

There's no need to.

The satellite will detect this board and assume that there is a

water supply training going on here.

Lower.

Hurry up!

Go back!

Soldiers, go toward your bunkers.

Otherwise, we will read

about it in tomorrow's newspaper.

In the past 18 hours,

there has been a lot of activity

going on around the range.

I mean there is

a lot of movement to and fro.

You know how powerful

the American satellites are!

There is nothing

going on at the range.

See this.

These people who are working

to restore the Pokhran Fort

can be seen here

again in army uniforms.

How?

We should go to Pokhran.

We have to work like this

for the next 29 days.

When are you going to get the stores?

The storekeepers have been informed.

I will get them on the 28th of April.

That's Akshay Tritiya,

an auspicious day.

Stores?

By stores, we mean bomb! Bomb!

How will you get them?

Each plutonium ball

is a bit bigger than this.

I could get it on a scooter.

You can try the scooter later.

For the stores,

we'll stick to the plan.

Major Prem has arranged

four armor-plated trucks for you.

You will reach BARC late at night.

At around 2 a.m.

So that there arent

many staff members around.

Where are you taking these packages?

That's all I know.

From there,

you will head to Mumbai Airport.

The unsuspecting people of this city

have no idea about this.

If these go off,

the entire city will be reduced to rubble.

Really?

You will land at

Jaisalmer airport at 10 a.m.

Major Prem and Ambalika

will meet you at the airport.

There will be another

set of armor-plated trucks

ready to take the stores

to the range.

The satellite blind spot

starts at 20:
03.

The armored trucks

should not be anywhere

close to the range

before the blind spot starts.

That means we can't leave

this place before 6 p.m.

What will we do for so long?

Why dont you

do some sightseeing in Jaisalmer?

The roads are joyous

Flowers have bloomed

Adorned in finery, my dreams rejoice

The earth welcomes

The arrival of the rain clouds

Celebrate with sweets, join

The merrymaking, it's time to celebrate

These rain clouds bring

Showers of happiness

It is a day for festivities

It is a day for festivities

There is color all around

Happiness abounds

Smiles everywhere

It is a day for festivities

Call upon the moon and bring the lamps

Gather all the dazzling stars

If the word gets out,

everyone will know.

Gather all the dazzling stars

Gather all the dazzling stars

Gather all the dazzling stars

Let us spread happiness

Let every heart be filled with joy

To rejoice on this wonderful day

Welcome to the land of festivities

Welcome to the land of festivities

-Sing praises on this glorious day

-It is a glorious day

-Rejoice on this glorious day

-It is a glorious day

-Adorn with flowers

-It is a glorious day

Let us celebrate

It is a day for festivities

It is a day for festivities

Welcome!

Wow!

Krishna, sir, there is a

call for you from Delhi.

Sir, perfect timing.

I was about to call you.

The stores are here.

Ashwat, stop everything for now.

We may not be able to conduct this test.

How?

Ashwat, I can't give you

any details right now.

There has been a lot of pressure

on the Vajpayee government.

Some of the main coalition partners

might withdraw their support.

There was a lot of commotion in the

parliament today regarding the same.

Oh yes, I remember,

for Prahlad's school.

Whats wrong?

This is the first time you're sounding

so low after going to Delhi.

You dont sound excited about

meeting your wife and son.

Is everything all right?

That is not true, Sushma.

I miss both of you a lot.

There is a lot of

work-related stress here.

Teaching jobs are getting

very stressful nowadays.

It's not that, Sushma.

The situation here is different.

Yes, and you won't discuss it with me.

You're taking this job as seriously

as your last job,

like you're working for

the Prime Minister.

I didnt mean that.

Ashwat.

You've got this opportunity

after a long time.

Whenever it was necessary,

we provided a strong support to

the ruling party of that time...

Do you know how serious

the situation is right now?

Coalition parties are threatening us

of withdrawing their support.

How will we conduct this test if

the Prime Minister is no longer in office?

When will they table

the no-confidence motion?

In two weeks.

What if we conduct the test

in the next ten days?

Look, I understand

you do not understand politics.

You should know

a task which seems difficult

to complete in 15 days

will be impossible to complete in ten.

I can do it.

Your son sacrificed

his life for the country.

He was not afraid of taking risks.

My son laid down his life

to uphold the country's honor

and you want to put

the country's honor at stake!

I want this tradition to continue.

This power struggle will continue,

governments will come and go

political parties will keep changing,

but this country and its democracy

should march on.

Thank God, his interview went well.

He knew the answers

to all the questions.

Hmm.

What hmm, Ashwat?

You were not paying attention.

Couldnt you be

stress-free for one day?

I am sorry.

There is a problem at work so...

What work?

You have changed so much

because of this job.

What is this sound?

Which sound?

-I heard something ring...

-Prahlad!

Prahlad!

Come on, both of you should leave now.

What do you mean by leave?

Arent we going to your house?
