Hey!
Dad?
Come out.
What's that?
Nothing.
I'll tell you later.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Dad?
Can you climb a tree?
Not really.
Not at this age.
Let's give it a try.
-No. -Come on.
I just can't.
You can do it. Come on.
I'll help you out.
It'll be safe up in the trees. Please understand.
-Come on. -I see.
Come on, push it.
No.
Try to get hold of this, okay?
Let's try it one more time.
Come on.
Hold it.
Hold it! Get a grip!
Yes!
Push yourself up!
You're almost there!
-That one? -Yes!
Gosh!
No!
I can't pull this off!
Too tough.
Here's a big tree!
Hail Lord Hanuman!
Now climb up this tree like a monkey. Can you do it?
Son, it's very easy.
Fine!
Forget about the tree.
Ever been to your grandma's house?
-No. -You haven't?
Fine, I'll show you that today.
Hop on my shoulders.
Remember, how you'd show me grandma's house when I was a kid.
Here!
Good boy!
Looks like you're aboard a plane!
-Having fun, are we? -Yes!
-A lot of fun! -There you go!
Come on!
Do it.
Wait. What are you doing?
Hop on.
Dear, you can't do it.
-Who can't do it? -Listen.
I weigh 76 kg.
Come on.
-But… -Come on.
Are you sure?
Absolutely.
Fine!
Okay.
-Comfortable? -Hmm.
Hail Lord Hanuman!
Hail Lord…
Watch out!
Over there!
-Can you see your grandma's house? -Yes.
Great! You can see it!
I can see it.
A grapefruit tree behind the house?
Yes.
How many grapefruits can you count?
One, two, three, four,
-five and six! -Six!
See any grapefruits?
Yes, I do.
Let's go pluck them.
Hey…
-Don't let go. -Yes.
Good job!
I'm holding you. Keep going.
Careful.
Don't let go… It's okay.
Keep going as much as you can.
I'll be back.
Best of luck.
Check him.
So we run towards the stadium,
taking this unpaved road
and we avoid the jungle.
We reach the ground by 1745 hrs
and we play the finals at 1800 hrs
Okay.
Does everyone agree with Chest No. 12?
Yes?
Sir, if we inform the army command office
before heading to the jungle,
we can leave the jungle half an hour early
and reach the stadium by 1730 hrs.
This way we get 30 minutes rest before the big final.
Good!
Thank you, sir.
Today, you'll begin your group task.
Once you're on the ground,
you won't look in the front or back. Nothing.
Stay in the center, stay focused.
Every member of the team will hold the snake at all time.
Once the snake has been picked up,
it cannot be put down until the race ends.
If it touches the ground,
it's a foul!
If it touches the red line, it's a foul!
Okay, ready everyone?
Set!
Go!
Three important rules here to remember.
Number one.
You are not important, your team is important.
Number two.
Focus on we, not I.
Third and the last point.
More than the result, it is the approach to the task that is important.
So remember these three things
and bloody get going!
And remember,
don't leave anyone behind.
The weight of the brother is never too heavy.
Last thing!
Once you're on the ground, you've got bloody only two options.
Number one.
Do it!
And second is, bloody do it!
Come on!
Come on.
-Come on! -Come on!
Come on, Patel!
Patel!
Come on, come on, let's go!
Come on, come on!
Let's go!
Come on, boy!
Come on, let's go!
You can do it! Come on!
Come on, come on!
Let's go!
Come on!
Careful!
Come on.
Let's go!
Come on!
Okay, Kartik.
You're leading a team and you had a go for an operation.
If you have to give one war cry,
to the boys, what would that be?
It can be any war cry.
Shout out loud, one should feel there are ten guys around here.
One for…
Yeah, continue. I'm listening.
Come on.
Tired already?
One for all,
all for one!
Can't hear you. Your voice dropped here somewhere.
One for all,
all for one!
Can't even hear you!
One for all,
all for one!
Loudly!
One for all…
All for one!
One for all…
All for one!
Come on, you can do it, No. 10!
Come on, come on!
Come on!
Keep it up. Come on.
Good job, good job.
Come on, come on.
Let's go, let's go.
Come on, come on.
You couldn't even handle a guy and a half.
Masood.
Make sure they both
do not cross the border.
Sir, there's some activity in POK.
Sir, I'm sure Kartik is on the run.
Control Room. Now.
David, do we have a satellite image for K7K9K11?
-No, sir. -But there's a way.
-Which is? -Not legal.
When it comes to national security,
nothing is illegal.
China has recently
launched Gaofen 125 under CHEOS,
China High Resolution Earth Observation System.
It's being marketed under the garb of crop yield and disaster management.
But it's mainly used for the surveillance purpose.
It can shoot 16 images of the same spot within 24 hours.
During this orbital time, from our coordinates,
we'll get a window of ten minutes
after this satellite completes one revolution of earth
for which it takes exact 90 minutes.
Sir, at that time, we can hack this satellite and get the images of POK.
Sir, which is in like,
11 minutes from now.
So do it.
We can't send a helicopter.
We can't tell the international media about Capt. Kartik.
Then it's going to be a problem.
Well, you guys caused this problem!
Now take care of it!
Get one thing straight!
If that Indian soldier gets away,
I'll send you packing where I first picked you up from.
Sir.
I accept any punishment for my mistakes.
But right now, we must stop the Indian soldier.
Then stop him!
Finish him off!
But do it quietly.
If anything goes wrong in POK,
media from both sides of the border raise hell.
Sir,
if not anything, we can certainly prod
the media to raise hell.
What do you mean?
This will help us camouflage to a certain degree.
Camouflage?
I mean…
they'll have a tough time
spotting us in this.
I've seen it in the movies.
Now let's go.
We can't stay here for long.
Let me see.
It's okay.
Okay, let's go.
-Over there? -Yes.
Let's go.
Dad?
We can't stay here.
Please understand.
Muster some courage.
Dad?
We can't stop here.
That's it, dear.
I can't walk a step further.
A few more minutes, Dad. Please.
We'll be safe on the heights.
Please, Dad. Let's go.
Sir! These two dots.
We have to rest for some time.
We have to climb up a bit.
-Let's go-- -My spine hurts
and my right leg…
I can't move it.
That's it.
Sorry. No.
Sir, I'm sure, that is Kartik.
Please allow us to enter POK and get our boy back.
Colonel, you know that's not possible.
To enter POK, you need permission from the PMO
and that will take time.
Sir, we can't wait. We don't have time.
Sir, let's enter POK and kill those buggers.
I don't care if I lose my job.
But Jaggi, this is a specialized operation.
RR hasn't crossed the border.
But sir…
today we will.
Let's do it.
Jai Hind, sir!
Those terrorists are somewhere around us.
We have to reach up there before they come here.
It's the only safe spot.
Not this one.
-Dear… -So we'll have to leave.
Why don't you
find a safe space right around here?
-No… -It's a big jungle.
Why should we go up the hill?
That's not possible, Dad.
If we go up there, we'll get the height advantage.
We can keep an eye on everyone from up there.
-Dear… -Please try, you can do it.
Dear…
I have an idea.
Put me on a tree again.
I'll rest for a bit again.
Come back and then take me with you.
I won't be able to climb the hill.
Impossible. Impossible.
No, my son.
No, no. Enough.
You're absolutely fine, my dear.
Don't you cry, my boy.
Don't you cry.
When you fell off the bicycle,
you crushed so many ants under you.
Gosh!
Forget this small bicycle,
you have to ride big bicycles, bikes and even a car.
You'll be doing lots of things. Okay?
Get it?
Don't you be afraid! You're my brave son!
Okay?
There was one more brave man.
Karna from the epic Mahabharata.
He was quite a legend.
There is this poem about him.
Rashmi Rathi. It's quite a long poem.
Dad.
Do you remember,
as a kid,
whenever I'd give up
or lose my courage,
you'd recite a poem to encourage me?
Written by Dinkar ji.
Truly, whenever troubles come
It is the coward who get rattled
The brave do not flinch
They do not lose courage Even for the moment
They embrace trouble
And make their way through the thorns
Not a word of protest do they utter
Ignore troubles while they fight
They bear whatever pain Come their way
They remain steadfast in their goals
They spring up to pulverize the enemy
Stare right into the eyes of troubles
Is there trouble in this whole wide world
That can withstand The blows of the brave?
When the brave stands to deal a blow
Even the mountains shake and tremble
Once the brave musters all his might
He can move mountains, shake heavens
Once the brave musters all his might
He can move mountains, shake heavens
Once the brave musters all his might
He can move mountains, shake heavens
Once the brave musters all his might
He can move mountains, shake heavens
Well done!
-Yes! -Once the brave musters all his might
He can move mountains, shake heavens
Once the brave musters all his might
He can move mountains, shake heavens
I know
you're boiling with rage
because of what happened three days ago.
You want to take revenge.
But today,
we're going across to bring back Capt. Kartik.
I promise you.
You'll have your revenge!
We're the 21 RR
and the words,
forgive, forget and fear
are not in our dictionary.
No, sir!
Great!
Let's go then.
Let's move!
Dad, are you really 65?
I don't look like 65, do I?
By the way…
will they let me join the army?
Huh?
Sure.
You have the strength and the stamina.
But I won't give permission.
I haven't given you my permission yet.
Individual obstacles.
My favorite, all-time favorite.
Remember.
For this, I have high expectations from you.
It's about time. You'll have to hurry.
You have ten obstacles
and three minutes to complete.
You can only repeat the obstacles
after finishing all of them once.
Three minutes, ten obstacles.
I want all ten obstacles done.
You have to run for those three minutes.
Jai Hind!
Chest No. 12, are you okay?
Yes, sir.
Can you continue?
Go ahead.
No excuses.
If you cannot run, you will walk.
If you cannot walk, you'll crawl.
And if you cannot crawl, you bloody will roll.
You'll do whatever it takes,
but you'll complete more than ten obstacles.
-One for all… -All for one!
All for one! All for one!
-One for all… -All for one!
All for one!
One for all…
All for one!
Go, check on him.
Failures and setbacks
are often seen as obstacles,
but in reality, they're some of our most valuable life lessons.
While success brings us joy, recognition, and satisfaction
it is the failure which helps us confront our weakness,
move, adopt and push ourselves to a new light.
Today is your interview,
the final call.
During the interview, if you don't know something,
just say you don't know.
Don't ever lie.
But if you know something,
express it with full confidence.
Dress up like an officer.
Walk like an officer.
Express yourself like an officer.
Stay confident.
Whatever choices you made so far,
whatever decisions you made,
success, failure or whatever has happened so far,
you'll have to answer for them.
Kartik, why have you overwritten on your self-description test?
You'll be made accountable.
I had lied, sir.
Sorry?
Don't be afraid.
Look in the eye
and express yourself with confidence.
I had lied, sir.
Why did you lie?
Actually, sir,
I'm joining army against my father's will.
So I was confused between the right answer and the truth.
Do you feel guilty
by going against your father's will?
Yes and no, sir.
Yes, I do feel guilty.
But no, it doesn't matter in the larger scheme of things.
Which is?
Which is serving my nation.
The first one to get recommended is…
Chest No. 15.
You may call it ambition,
but to me, it looks like defiance.
Sir, defiance is the first step to achieve something great.
From Sardar Bhagat Singh to Chhatrapti Shivaji Maharaj,
all our national heroes were defiant once.
What if after becoming an army officer,
you defy a direct order from your commanding officer?
-Sir, that depends. -On what?
-On the situation. -Such as?
If the life of the fellow officer or a jawan is at stake.
The next one to get recommended is
Chest No. 20.
Yes, Kartik. Come in.
So young man, tell us about your last five days.
Very good, sir.
I thoroughly enjoyed the process.
Is there anything you didn't like here?
Any feedback for us?
Sir, there wasn't anything which I strongly disliked,
but if I had to choose, like one thing,
then maybe, group discussions can be chaotic.
Since everyone speaks at the same time.
Maybe if there is a stricter moderation,
everybody gets a chance to speak.
I think that's one thing where we can work on.
There is one more thing, sir.
After a grueling physical activity,
the mess offers us only one egg.
Sir, he has a confusing personality.
Most of the times, he is very obedient
and does everything by the book.
But at times, he is acting as a rebel.
Yes, sir.
Last time, we rejected him for the exact same reason.
I agree.
His personality is not very consistent
and that might be a problem.
Or he might be an asset as well.
And finally…
last but not least.
Chest No…
12!
Congratulations.
Everyone will say you've been recommended.
Once you join the army till retirement,
this moment is never going to come back again.
This plus sign could've been negative.
It is hard-earned and well-deserved. Enjoy this moment.
Dad.
My son.
What happened?
Good, good! Good job!
You also got a gold medal! Well done, my son!
My brave boy!
Does it hurt?
It will, Dad.
Okay?
What is it?
What?
Nothing.
Okay.
Feeling better.
Don't cover your feet for a whie.
Okay?
Dad?
Yes?
The rescue team of the Indian Army.
They're coming for us.
Yes.
They're heading right here.
Good!
You don't need to be stressed anymore.
We're safe right now.
We have to be careful now.
Sit there.
Thank God.
Okay.
Thank you, Mrs. Sharma, for cooperating.
I mean, really.
I won't hide anything from you.
-The fact is that… -Sir!
News.
Mrs. Sharma, I'll call you.
Today, our entire country stands in solidarity with
Capt. Kartik, the RAW officer and their families.
Once again our nation loses its brave son.
How long our armed forces must continue to sacrifice?
The terrorists have released a video supporting their claims.
Being a sensitive and responsible news channel,
we can't show you the entire video.
The head of the terror outfit
has sent a message to the Indian Army.
Don't blame us.
The blame lies with the Indian Army, Indian public and their rulers.
We gave you three days
to release our leader, Abu Bakar.
We want to inform the Indian government
that we'd launch similar attacks in future
till Kashmir achieves its independence.
-Shout out loud! -God is great!
Why don't you get it, Colonel?
I've already lost Kartik and I don't want to lose any of men now.
So retreat on priority.
I repeat, retreat on priority.
Sir, even if he is dead,
we'll bring back his dead body.
Colonel, I'm not asking you to abort the mission.
I'm asking you to retreat for now.
A couple of QRT teams won't cut it,
we'll be sending across an entire battalion.
This must be all over Pakistani media by now.
The situation at the border is going to get tense.
Come back, son.
Sir.
Why are they going back?
How did they get here?
Dad, keep looking over the place
where they came from.
Yeah.
Sir, I gave the permission.
Chinese satellite, sir.
I understand, sir. I'm really sorry, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Jai Hind, sir.
Terrorists release a threatening video, demand Abu Bakar's release.
-Keep looking over there. -Yeah.
That's him.
That's him!
Establish contact!
Establish contact now! Come on!
Establish contact. Retrieve Delta!
Retrieve Delta! Come on!
Come on! Back to Delta!
Comrade, back to Delta!
Come!
Come on!
Kartik!
Look!
Yes!
-Yes! -Yes!
Yes.
Twelve hundred meters and closing. Sir.
We're 1200 meters away.
Roger that. Keep moving.
It's been five years
since I tasted aalu gobhi made by you.
I haven't made it for the last five years.
We're 1200 meters away.
Roger that. Keep moving.
Next month, it will be five years
since Kartik joined the army.
You should speak to him at least now.
I don't know where to begin.
I'm not sure how Kartik will react.
That his dad is so selfish.
Why assume the worst?
He is your son.
That's why.
That's why he'd conclude
that his father was so selfish.
He tried so many times to speak to me.
But I was blinded by my ego.
What's done is done.
Please stop blaming yourself.
The earlier you speak to him,
the better you feel.
Even if I want to speak to him,
where do I begin?
What should I even say?
Just tell him how you feel.
I have so much to say, I can write a novel.
Then write one.
He'll read your novel.
Eight-hundred meters away.
Okay?
Dad, what's the that?
Nothing.
It fell off your pocket back there
and you said you'd tell me later.
That's right, but…
I did say that, but it's all right.
-What is it? -Nothing. It's all right.
All right?
What is it?
Hey…
Something I wrote. I didn't say it to you…
So?
I wanted to put it on paper, so I kept on writing.
You wrote it?
-Yes, I mean… -For Mom?
For me?
No, I…
Yes…
Not really.
Dad, you wrote a letter for me.
It's nothing serious.
Why are you blushing?
I…
Why would I blush?
You're too much!
I won't read it in front of you.
You wrote it. That's too much.
Why are you blushing?
Hey.
How could you…
Move!
