Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran Page #6

What are you doing?

You'll break it!

You have no idea!

This phone has the pass code

and the time for today's blind spot!

I can't tell you anything more, Sushma.

What can't you tell me?

What can't you tell me?

You cant tell me...

that you're bored with your mundane life?

I have done so much for you, Ashwat.

I gave you as much love

and respect as I could.

I respected your decision

of not taking up a private job

and stayed up working nights!

How long...

How long has this been going on for?

There is nothing going on, Sushma.

She is my colleague.

Enough.

How can she be your colleague

when you dont even have a job!

Where do you work together?

Sushma, please listen to me.

Please.

Sushma.

What does it mean?

These guys work when the satellite

does not cover the range.

This is why your CIA was

not able to detect anything.

Call them now. How did she come here?

I dont know.

She left before I could find out.

When was the last time

you spoke with her?

Two days ago?

About Prahlad's school.

Did you tell her

the location by mistake?

We need to find out

how Sushma got this address.

What happened?

I had told you

that the generators might get overloaded.

And I had asked you to deal with it.

Why dont you tell me what you want?

Arranging for it is my problem.

I need time.

Things are not going well for me.

We have been married for 11 years.

And she made such a

big accusation today.

This is a setup.

She was sent here so that they could

get more information on this mission.

It's fixed. Come on, start your work.

There is a satellite overhead. It couldve been a plane.

I had seen it as well, sir.

Satellites travel like this.

And planes, like this.

What did it look like?

Another satellite was added

at the last minute.

That was close.

Thank God for the power failure.

Sushma's arrival,

the last minute adding of a satellite.

What is the duration of

our blind spot now?

Less than an hour.

At night?

In the whole day.

Just one hour's blind spot?

It takes an hour just

to cover up our tracks.

Send the stores back immediately.

Dont leave any paper trail behind.

And release everyone from their duties.

Finally, some appreciation!

So, it's back to normal life

from tomorrow.

For the rest of you, yes.

My personal and professional lives,

both end with this mission.

We could not conduct the tests.

What will I tell Sushma now?

What was I doing here?

What is there to tell?

Its strange that

she came to Pokhran

and couldnt connect it

to nuclear testing. It is not her fault.

Sometimes, we get so blinded by suspicion

that we fail to see

what's right in front of us.

What did you say?

What?

What did I say?

Sometimes, we get so blinded by suspicion

that we fail to see

what's right in front of us.

Pass me the water.

Just listen to me once.

The satellites can be made to

move away from Pokhran and our range.

It's very simple.

You just have to get your strongest

sources to leak the information

that India might attack Pakistan

over the Kashmir issue.

And you know America.

As soon as they learn of our intention

to attack from the LOC,

they will change the position

of their satellites.

They will move their satellites.

We'll conduct our tests

right under their noses.

But for that, we need to get the army

to make mock movements at the LOC.

You want me to create a

warlike situation in our country?

Yes, sir.

The Indian Army has

increased their personnel

in Kashmir over the last few days.

This show of strength from

India has disturbed Pakistan.

The Pakistani Prime Minister,

Mr. Nawaz Sharif

is afraid that India

might attack the LOC any day.

America has offered to mediate

so that the growing tension in

Kashmir can be resolved.

Assume not that you will

win Kashmir away from India with your jihad,

your weapons and your threats

Assume not you will

make India bow its head

in the face of your assaults

and your injustices

Sir, please.

Sir!

We know how to defend our country.

We dont want war.

We will not retreat.

We have to leave Pokhran.

There were transmitters in your room.

I have got some leads

near Khetolai village.

There are some local spies because

of whom the mission was compromised.

Why dont you remove the

security from the guesthouse now?

Whats your issue with security?

We have new blind spots now.

How much time will we get? Eight hours!

Eight hours over the next three days?

-To seal the shafts...

-Eight hours, every night...

For the next three days.

That means 24 man-hours.

Mr. Naresh, is that time enough for you? We have laid all the cables.

We just need to make

the final connections.

But immediately, after these tests,

the whole world will descend upon us.

There will be a lot of criticism.

Mr. Naresh.

Please dont think

about the world.

We are standing at a juncture

from where we can change

the future of this country.

Our abilities will be put to test.

We will never seem

to have enough time.

We will not sleep for

the next three nights.

So that we can give our enemies

sleepless nights.

We should not think about the outcome. We should carry out

our plans as intended.

I dont know...

if the world will praise us or not.

But I am sure that...

when we look at ourselves in the mirror,

we will proudly say that...

we made the plans for the country.

We executed the actions for the country...

and the result we achieved

belongs to the country.

My motherland!

My soul is painted

My soul is painted

My country is my love, my pride

The skies above surrender before it

My country is my love, my pride

The skies above surrender before it

My soul is painted

My soul is painted

My soul is painted in the saffron hue

My soul is painted in the saffron hue

My soul is painted in the saffron hue

My soul is painted in the saffron hue

I can fight with the whole world

To uphold the honor of my country

My soul is painted in the saffron hue

My soul is painted in the saffron hue

My soul is painted in the saffron hue My soul is painted in the saffron hue

The world will respect us

Such is our determination

We will strive to fulfill our promise

The world will respect us

Such is our determination

We will strive to fulfill our promise

We have no fear

Our resolve is strong

Nothing can stop us now

My soul is painted

My soul is painted

My soul is painted in the saffron hue

I can fight with the whole world

To uphold the honor of my country

What happened now?

My soul is painted in the saffron hue

The store has reached

the White House canteen.

Which one?

The one with the hydrogen bomb?

Sir, please use code language.

This is a secure line, Ashwat.

Otherwise,

I'll press the trigger right now.

It's time to seal the shafts.

My soul is painted

The warlike situation

at the border continues. America and the entire world

have their eyes on Kashmir now.

America is being fooled.

They refuse to listen to us.

Hey, get some onions.

-There arent any.
