-Why?

It has become very expensive.

I will pay you extra.

What will I do with your money

when there are no onions?

The army has taken it all.

What do you mean?

They have taken truckloads of onions

to the army canteen.

There are no onions in

the entire city of Jaisalmer.

I've got the proof.

-What proof?

-Onions.

Onions. They absorb radiation.

I am sure they will conduct the test soon.

Call up the CIA.

Your informer in Pokhran got caught.

Daniel, you...

I dont think mama will

speak to you today as well.

How are you?

Mama always gives you a pep talk

before your exams, doesn't she?

I also have an exam today.

Are you sure she won't talk to me?

She won't, Papa.

Have yogurt and sugar.

Mom always gives you that, right?

You?

I am not a waiter.

Give me your phone.

You wont be able

to conduct the tests

for which you have

been making preparations.

The tests... are done.

What do you mean they're done?

Look at that painting.

It has unhinged

because of the aftershocks.

My youth has stirred

You rekindled my desire

I want to get engaged to you

Make me your wife

My heart cries for you

Come to me

Give me the phone or I will shoot.

The guns locked.

The phones locked too.

Come on, hurry up.

Students.

Today, I will teach you about

the importance of nonviolence.

Hey, put the gun down.

Sir, please listen to me.

Arrest him. Look at the board. Put the gun down first.

Sir, this is not my gun.

Put it down!

It's locked anyway, see!

Sir, we can't wait.

We have to conduct the test right now.

He was a Pakistani spy

and he has my phone.

You know it has so much vital information.

Ashwat, calm down.

I am on my way to the PMO.

I'll send you a fax as soon

as I get the Prime Minister's permission,

all right?

Satpal, drive faster.

What is the point

of having a red beacon?

Defense Residential Complex

-It was this guy, right?

-Yes, it was him. I told him.

Arent you ashamed?

The suspect was right in front of you

and you let him go!

You may leave, Ashwat.

-All right.

-Take him to the range.

Yes, madam.

I've got the proof.

You know me!

I come here every day.

I dont have my phone

and I dont remember the pass code.

I give you the pass code every day.

It's very urgent today, please.

Sorry, sir.

You have to tell me the pass code.

You are the one who made this rule.

Kavita, is the Prime Minister in?

Sir, what are you doing here?

The Prime Minister has a meeting

with the American diplomats

at Ashoka Hotel.

Was it one line?

Two.

Love is...

Love is not easy.

Love isn't easy, bear that in mind.

-You know the rest.

-No, sir.

You will have to tell me the entire thing.

Love isn't easy, bear that in mind.

It is a river of fire

and you have to swim through it.

You may enter, sir.

Ma'am, we have tracked

the location of Ashwat's cell phone.

-What is the location?

-Kotwal Haveli, Jaisalmer.

The Prime Minister is set

to have a meeting

with the American diplomats

on the rising tension in Kashmir.

-What's going on?

-The meeting started five minutes ago.

The Prime Minister was asking about you.

Sir, did you get the permission?

The Prime Minister's meeting with

the American diplomats has started.

But sir,

that will take a couple of hours.

I cannot bring this up

in front of the Americans!

Open the door.

Your Excellency.

What is this?

The PMO has sent the wrong fax.

White House refers to the shafts. Store refers to the bombs.

What is wrong?

Ashwat, the wind is

directed towards Pakistan.

In case there is a radiation leak,

it will cause severe damage there.

We have to wait.

Let's go ahead, Prem.

We can't, sir.

Stop.

Stop.

The wind has stopped.

Long live India!

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

We refuse to bow down

My motherland

My motherland

I am blessed to get the chance

To dedicate my life to you

I pray, mother, to serve you first

Whenever you might call

For you, my motherland

I shall lay down my life for you

For you, my motherland

I will leave no stone unturned

Ashwat.

I will inform the Prime Minister.

With the success of

the nuclear testing in Pokhran

India has not only made history

but it has also laid the foundation

for a bright future.

Indians are in a celebratory mood today

while America and a few other countries are suffering from shock and bewilderment.
