Whatever Romi decides to do, she will do well She's really different and really smart How could I forget who I'm talking to!? I'm sorry lover boy Romi is a genius! Guess what, guys? I haven't told my parents yet but I've decided What? - Army Army? You! Join the army! You'll be court-martialed the first day! Ever woken up before noon? I will when I need to! Why should I for no reason! You want to be an engineer Did I ever say you won't make it? Calm down! Why are you over reacting? Because you always put me down But think about it, buddy Army life isn't easy Nothing is easy in the world But I've decided and that's that! I'm joining the army I feel my country needs me! Aren't Army uniforms the smartest, Ashu? You guys are giving me a complex! You're joining the army, you engineering... you, hotel management I'm the only one left! Sometimes I think I'll do this, sometimes that! Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I the way I am? When did I ever know what I am supposed to do? Looks like I'll be singing this song all my life What will happen to me? Will someone please tell me? Why is it so difficult? Will someone help me understand? Why am I like this? Why am I the way I am? Now I feel like doing this, but then again it's that But why? I just don't know... What it is that I must do! What now looks clear and simple... Tomorrow will seem all twisted I feel like my life is... - Completely upside down! Will I ever change? Will I ever believe? Will I ever improve? I don't know if I will What's to become of me now? What do you think? What's to become of me now? Will I just remain the way I am? When did I ever know what I am supposed to do? Looks like I'll be singing this song all my life What will happen to me? Will someone please tell me? Why is it so difficult? Will someone help me understand? Why am I like this? It's just the way I am! I don't know why you are the way you are You think about it Don't you get bored? Where's the time to get bored? There's so much going on in the world... ...if a person is interested, how can he get bored!! Yeah I know You are right How come a girl like you is into someone like me? Why do you love me? You want to be praised, is it? Seriously... I've never seen you behave small or petty I've never heard you talk badly of someone I respect that about you I like that - Really? You're a good, big hearted person that's why I love you Thanks Know what I think? You're not too bad yourself! Shut up Karan Your juice, sir Switch on the geyser, will you? - Yes Hello Aunty! Is parvesh home? What happened? Romi, you always say that I keep drifting That my life lacks a... An objective The world is objective - Exactly Objective! Now listen... It's all clear to me now I'm joining the army You will join the army!? Are you serious? Romi, I've decided and that's that! I'm joining the army! I feel my country needs me We all must do something for our country But when do we ever realise our responsibility! I have realised it! The IMA is in Dehradun Indian Military Academy I have filled out the form There's a written exam first... If I pass, there'll be an interview and a medical test I'm sure to be selected By the way, guess who's coming with me? Parvesh! I'm really stressed, man! Remember we had applied to IMA last month? Yes, so? I got the letter today, for the exam, didn't you get it? Maybe, I'll check at home, why? I don't want to go! Don't want to go!!! What are you saying? I applied because of you I told you, this guy in the army? He gets up at noon! That's not the point! My dad told me... If I do an MBA from any American university... ...I can get a job the very next day in the U.S. I can't believe you're off to the U.S. Now! What'll I do alone in the army? Man! He's so unreliable! Tell me something... How many years does it take to an MBA in America? What is this? What is this? Did you apply to the IMA? Are you planning to sit for the exam? Actually parvesh and... Did you ask us before making this decision? Answer me! Did you ask me or your mother? You've lost your mind! Think you can do whatever you feel like? Not in this house! You better understand that! But Daddy, what have I... - Shut up I've had enough! Shalini, it's all our fault He gets whatever he wants! I'm here to earn the money!! Where's the need for him to do anything? Apart from his regular nonsense Now see this... he wants to join the army! Karan, look at me... You will do as I say Understand that! You will do exactly as I say! Enough is enough He's very upset What's gotten into you! Just see how Udesh... please mummy, I am not Udesh! Karan, don't feel so bad yeah parents say things they shouldn't when they're upset But they don't really mean it How do I know that? I hear what you say... and I see what you do Do you remember how in school... ...both your parents would come on parents Day My mom would, but did you even once see my Dad? You will do as I say! ...sorry, but I won't! I want to join the army and I will!! If you're serious, then don't listen to anybody Do what your heart tells you But if you're being stubborn or egoistic because your father has said not to then this would be a wrong decision No, Romi, it's not about being stubborn or egoistic I want to join the army So! It's decided then Now cheer up Come on... come on... My God! I never knew you could get so angry! I am really scared now How did it go? Romi, I'm sad I can't show you my papers There's just one fear What's that? I hope they don't think I've copied everything ...because every answer is just perfect! Very good Now that it's clear what my future is... other thoughts are brewing in my mind Like what? Like, in a couple of years I'll have to get married... So what do you say? About what? About marriage! Karan, I knew that someday we'd discuss marriage But I never thought you'd say it in this manner! How should I say it? I mean... Can't you be more romantic? I see So you'd like me to... ...get you flowers... ...gaze into your eyes and say... Don't be stupid I didn't say that But it could've been said in a nicer way - Really! If I say that I'm in love with you you are my only desire what will you say? If I say that I'm in love with you you are my only desire what will you say? I will say... that if you had said it with a little more panache and a little more charm It would be nice If I say that you are as fresh as morning dew Your lips as luscious as flower petals... Your eyes twinkle like fireflies... that my heart beats faster when I think of you... If I say If I say that the moon is pale in comparison to your beauty What will you say? I will say... please don't compare me to the moon it has many blemishes And not a flower either they wither and wilt As for fireflies... they just vanish without a trace If you'd stop using cliche's and say it in a style unique and original and with a little more charm It would be nice If I say that I'm in love with you you are my only desire what will you say? If I say you have confused me with your answers How should I say what I have to say? Nothing I say seems to please you Because I think you don't even believe me! If I say If I say Why is it that you don't know... ...that you already have my love? I will say... My heart does say we are meant to be together If we truly feel it in both our hearts then words don't matter Don't worry, Shalini, let him go if he wants! He'll be back in no time, i'm absolutely sure of it But I'm really amazed that he got selected! Gentlemen Cadets... I, Adjutant of the I.M. A, Lt. Col. Pratap Singh... ...welcome you to the academy Today, you are stepping into a new life And I expect, that with every passing day... ...you will prove worthy of this great institution Know that you are here because you are special The Indian Military Academy is a great institution ...who's commitment cannot be praised in just words first, our country... second, the army... then, his unit and finally, concern for himself... ...that is the trademark of an I.M.

All that I have... who do you think it's for? What did he bring with him? My entire family stayed in one small room When I grew up, I'd hear of the house we had in Lahore... ...the status our family had... This would pierce my heart like an arrow I vowed that... I would restore the family position to what it once was And I succeeded But my father didn't live to see this Now all I have is my family and if you have no respect for what I have done then all my effort has been in vain You must help him, son Start going to the office from tomorrow, okay? All right, go Didn't I tell you he'll be back in no time I know him Shalini, he's good for nothing Let it be now At least he's back Only you expect anything from him I fail to understand... Why Karan can't be more like Udesh What's this? You arrived yesterday but called me today! Nice hair style Anyway, how long are you here for? I'm not going back - What do you mean? You ran away, didn't you!? For once you had made your own decision only to be defeated in a few days Your parents were upset But you said "It's my life, I'll decide what I want" Is this what you decided? I can understand you're annoyed, but... What do you understand, Karan? Remember, it was here that you said... you wanted to marry me perhaps even that decision has changed! What are you saying, Romi! - What should I say!? When someone can't respect himself or his own decision... How can I expect him to respect me? Please listen to... - Don't touch me I don't think I ever want to meet you again You accept that you have done wrong You accept that you have disgraced this institution please answer yes or no? - Yes sir Are you ready for any punishment given to you? - Yes sir Your act was not a minor misdemeanor You will undergo a 28 day restriction period After that, your plea will be considered - Yes sir Say it loud and clear - Yes sir This is your path...

I've to go Due to commencement of Operation vijay you are being made an Acting Captain Army Intelligence has reported that our neighbours... have betrayed our trust They have crossed the Line of Control and infiltrated... regions from Batalik to Drass with armed intruders Our unit is responsible for peak 5179 I've called for a briefing in the next 15 minutes Come what may, we must recapture peak 5179 At any cost! This is the mountain known as peak 5179 on the map We cannot access it's northern side... without crossing the LOC And we have been given precise orders... that under no circumstances, can we cross the LOC So! That leaves us with three sides The western side is a sheer cliff 850 to 900 feet high The enemy has a natural defense here That leaves two sides This is the southern side, facing us But there's open plain from here to there No cover at all The enemy perched on the mountain... can easily watch our movements from his bunker upto 3 km This means that we are left with only one option the eastern side That's right We will send a small team They must move undetected and explore and chart possible routes that will provide us... with maximum cover There! Their bunkers must be across that ridge line That's the only access to this side They would've definitely covered it Hello, Ghaznavi 1 Hello, Ghaznavi 3, come in, over Sir, I can see Indian soldiers one and half kms away A patrolling party, perhaps No firing Don't reveal your position Understood, sir, over Karan, get back! Why were you in the open? - Sorry, sir I felt a presence on the mountain I felt like I was being watched Come on, get the camera, quick! Come on... come on... hurry up Hey, isn't that Romila Dutta? You're right Hello - Hi! How far is that shelling from here? - About 3 kms away The pakistanis on the mountain... ...are trying to cut off the highway I see - Don't worry, they won't succeed Where are you going? - Kargil Actually we are from Global news You don't need an introduction! Hi Hello Hi The shelling you hear is from the other side Our Artillery will see where best to retaliate and then fire back In mountain warfare... the side occupying the heights holds the advantage Therefore! Before any attack on the feature's eastern side... we need to know... the exact position of the enemy's bunkers The strength of their fire power An aggressive patrol will be sent to accomplish this What's the plan, sir? Thank you sir four teams! The first from this side You will lead it Second team, Kaushal - Yes sir You will apply pressure onto this area Third team, Satish and Capt. Ramanna You will go till here And Akbar, Karan & Sgt. Dharamvir Singh You will position your team here and open fire This will not be an actual attack but they should feel that it is real When they return fire... we'll get to know their positions and weapons Yes sir Engagement ring! - Congratulations - Thank you.

Yesterday, at one point I thought my gun had jammed and almost picked up a stone to chuck at the bunker Sir! - Relax... relax As per the CO's plan, we must shift base today The new base will be closer to the eastern side At Soopra village Right, sir Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride... when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear Shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride... when we move forward, the enemy quakes with fear We must keep moving now with one single thought in all our minds We must keep moving now with one single thought in all our minds Come what may!

We want it too What should we do? Stand by with folded hands... ...and gift them our country on a platter? Peace! Capt. Abeer Saxena also wanted peace He didn't go attack another country It was his country that was attacked! The road that he lay dying on... is a part of India! First, go have a look at his dead body!

My boss also said the same thing - He was right Why go some place involved in a full fledged war?

See, it's better we get a few things clear right now If we want to be together, this attitude won't do You'll have to make some changes Change what? What's so difficult to understand!? We'll be married soon people marry to settle down That won't happen if you keep heading off to war fronts You're vice president Sales of your company You travel to New York, London every other month Will you stop going after marriage? That's my job! - And this is my job To be honest, it's more than a job The mountains that have been occupied are a part of India and I am an Indian Come on, give me a break I'm an Indian too I haven't lost touch with my culture and values And I'm upset with you because those values are still alive in me I see and what does it say? That I must dance to your tune if we want to be together, right? I didn't say that - But that's what you meant! Remember when we met on that Tv show? The things you had said Life is not a Tv show! You will not go to Kargil! Rajiv, I can't thank you enough... ...for telling me how you truly feel Your ring At sunset tomorrow at 20.00 hrs, we will launch our first attack This is their false front We have to destroy all their bunkers here... and convert their false front into our firm base Attacks on the upper ridges will be launched from there Everyone must be clear about the Operation and the part they have to play in it! Artillery will start shelling the feature at 1600 hours, sir Good! 4 hrs of pounding should soften the target Behind me here, our artillery is bombarding peak 5179... with Bofors guns The shelling has been on for the past 1 hour The Indian army seems to be getting ready to attack Romela Datta, Global news fire!

I see... Show me that We found a fair amount of rations, sir I think they had planned a long visit, sir There's a saying in my mother tongue... A person who can't manage his own house... ...shouldn't set out to conquer the world!! Sir, a photograph with your unit? - Why not? Come on boys Ready sir Thank you sir - Right? Sahib Dharamvir Singh... Organize some soldiers and give them a decent burial Okay sir What's the matter? Pradeep? Sir, I think... everyone is reminded of the condition... ...in which they've returned our dead soldiers bodies I see... There's a difference between us & them & it should stay that way! Lmagine what kind of army refuses to accept... the bodies of their own officers and soldiers! Should we become like them? This is the Indian Army We maintain decency even in our enemity Sahib Dharamvir Singh! Give them a proper burial -Yes, Sir Allright gentlemen, we've made it this far, but only half the task is complete We have to reach the upper ridges of the feature... from where they are targeting our highway pradeep! - Sir! - Send for another Company, All these officers and soldiers will go back to the base pradeep told me how you saved Ramanna's life Well done! Thank you sir Rajtilak Singh, you add plenty of spice to everything you say! Sir, he always exaggerates I swear on my mother He narrowly escaped death at least 6 times... He was behind a rock and as he moved, BANG! A shell landed Bullets and shells landing all over... Bang! 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...

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!

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!

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 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.

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!

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 Sir... Brig. Puri Yes sir What's the progress on the task you took up?
