When Pakistan came into existence during the 1947 partition,
it did so in two parts.
West Pakistan and East Pakistan.
East Pakistan's main language was Bengali instead of Urdu,
and their lifestyle was different than that of West Pakistan.
Due to this, Pakistan always treated them as outcasts
and were cruel towards them.
The Bengali Muslims and Hindus of East Pakistan
together rebelled against this brutality in 1970.
To crush this rebellion, President Yahya Khan and General Tikka
killed three million innocent people under Operation Searchlight.
India couldn't withstand the grief of their own people.
Our forces were deployed towards East Pakistan
and soon we secured a large part of Pakistan.
Watching half of Pakistan slipping through his fingers
made Yahya Khan furious.
How many in total?
Three million, sir.
Do you recognise this?
Yes, sir.
It's the national flag of Pakistan, sir.
Flag of the Star and Crescent.
A flag capable of soaring new heights.
Back in '47, I knew
the only way to achieve new heights were over piles dead bodies.
Anything less would only mean our downfall.
And you... could only muster up three million bodies.
We've resorted to public massacre, sir.
But India has taken over a vast area.
Our forces cannot set foot in there, sir.
Is this the India
whom we ruled for 400 years with an iron fist?
Yes, sir.
They killed a handful of our soldiers in '47 and '65
and forgot their place.
Show these rascals
that this is the new-age Pakistan of '71.
We have enough explosives
to separate the Ganga and the Jamuna
and blow up Delhi with the left-over trucks filled with explosives.
Prepare for a second attack.
Attack?
But, sir, this is not the right time.
We cannot defend two fronts at one time.
India has diverted its forces to the Eastern Front.
The Western territory is open.
We won't find a better opportunity than this.
Penetrate through Kutch.
Attack Bhuj Airbase.
And take over as many territories of western India as you can.
-After that? -After that...
Mrs. Gandhi and I
will share a cup of tea in Delhi.
And make a small business deal with her.
If she wants western India back,
then she must vacate East Pakistan.
Simple.
Go to your positions!
I am Vijay Srinivas Karnik.
Commanding officer, Bhuj Airbase.
Come in. Come in.
Sir, seems like someone's locked the door from outside.
Wars are not won with weapons but with heroes.
And there's no shortage of heroes in the Indian Army.
This is fighter pilot Vikram Singh Baj.
Fire!
Stop firing. Stop firing the anti-air gun!
Vikram sir is ready to take off.
Stop firing!
Fire!
Two weeks before Pakistan's attack.
There's a faction of Malayali warriors called the Nairs.
With a history that dates back to more than 1,000 years,
they've never bowed or been defeated by their enemy.
Lt. Col. Nair has kept this tradition alive.
While representing the Indian Army in 1968,
Col. Nair broke a Pakistani boxer's jaw.
This champion of the ring
lost his heart to a differently-abled Muslim girl, Zeenat.
Here's Vighakot Post.
Take charge of this post with your fleet of 120 soldiers.
-Just 120, sir? -Yes.
And Pagi Ranchhod Bhai Savabhai Rabari will assist you.
Pagi?
Ranchhod Bhai Pagi
lived in a village attached to the border of Pakistan.
Pakistan Army demanded their animals for a feast.
Pagi clearly refused.
"We've taken an oath
"to never allow the massacre of innocent animals."
Pagi didn't let the animals get massacred
but massacred five Pakistani soldiers instead.
Pagi came to India and joined RAW.
Jai Hind, sir.
RAW bestowed Ranchhod Bhai with a very critical operation.
Operation Hoor.
Ranchhod Bhai is like a desert eagle.
He's well versed with every part of the desert spanning Kutch and Sindh.
He can tell from the footsteps on the sand
whether it was the Indian Army or the Pakistan Army.
His job in Operation Hoor was to locate Pakistan's secret hideouts
and collecting vital information.
Five days before the attack.
Md. Hussain Omani.
Military Intelligence Head
and India's arch-enemy.
Today he's going to receive the message
for which he's spent many restless nights.
We have orders to wage war against India.
The codename of this operation is Chengiz Khan.
Friends, may I have your attention, please?
Wishing Vijay sir and Usha madam
on their 10th marriage anniversary.
And now Vijay sir will express his feelings for his wife.
Come on, sir!
Come on, sir.
Expressive eyes keep conveying
That I'm in love
Your bewitching eyes And this magical night
My heart's lost
For my sake
For the sake of God
Give me your tears
And take my happiness
Forsake the world
And stay with me
Give me your tears
And take my happiness
Forsake the world
And stay with me
Women and children in bunkers.
Boys, on the airfield now. Come on!
-Yes sir. -Yes sir.
Move! Move!
Pakistan Air Force fighter jets
aggressively attacked many airfields in West India
and caused heavy damage to us.
But they couldn't do much damage to Bhuj.
Reason? Position of our anti-air guns.
We must change our positions now.
Because they can attack again.
-Is that clear? -Yes, sir!
Pakistan's fighter jets have responded to our message of peace
by attacking our Amritsar, Srinagar, Pathankot, Avantipur
Utterlai, Jodhpur, Ambala, Faridkot, Jaisalmer, Alwara and Bhuj.
Tomorrow, with dawn's first light, we shall give them a fitting reply.
-Any doubts? -No, sir.
-Can't hear. -No, sir.
-Can't hear! -No, sir!
Hey, Balli. What's your plan after blowing up Pakistan?
I will go home and take my mother for her knee operation.
Target in sight.
Balli, watch out!
Baljeet. Baljeet, can you hear me?
Baljeet.
-Vikram, I cannot contact Baljeet. -Sir, he's no more.
What?
Vikram, our mission is successful.
Come back. Immediately come back.
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi said in one of her messages
that our army will soon free East Pakistan
from the atrocities of West Pakistan.
Where is Balli?
Lord...
"Whatever has been created shall be destroyed, today or tomorrow.
"Sing the glorious praises of Lord, giving up all entanglements."
Ranchhod Bhai, begin Operation Hoor.
Begin Operation Hoor.
Three days before the attack.
Sweetheart, Brigadier Baig and Taimur have arrived.
Don't venture out of the room.
Ten of our spies,
Hameer, Curson, Noora,
Bhima, Altaf, Viran, Zahir, Lateef
Miramad and Abbu,
are working in Kutch for Pakistan.
And at midnight, they will relay a message to us at 3.1 MHz.
I will decide our strategy after that.
If Allah wills it, we shall meet again in two days.
India's brave girl, Heena Rehman.
Heena is our spy in Pakistan.
Heena's older brother Nazir Rehman was also our spy in Pakistan.
What do we do with him?
Kill him! Kill him!
"There is none worthy of worship except Allah,
"and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."
"There is none worthy of worship except Allah..."
Md. Hussain Omani gave him a dreadful death.
Heena joined RAW to avenge her brother.
Heena's animosity with Pakistan was of national and personal interest.
Think about your late brother and repeat your pledge...
Lord, keep a place for me secure in your court.
Even if I cease to exist, keep my motherland unharmed.
Every drop of blood I shed will be for India.
Even I have to give up my life, then may it be for India.
Allah, this is my only desire.
And the only thing I wish for now
is your grace and to be wrapped in the tricolour.
Ten pigeons of the Kauravas
will pass the message to the Kauravas
at 3.1 MHz, about the conditions of Kurukshetra.
The Pandavas should know that they are at 3.3 MHz.
The Pakistani spies active in your area...
We have traced the location of all the Pakistani spies.
Noora, Bhima, Altaf, Viran, Wahid, Lateef, Miramad,
and that Abu from Thar Parker village.
They are currently at Hamir's Bismillah spice factory,
which is a kilometre west of Haripar Ravapar village.
And they are going to contact Omani at midnight.
I'll get there with Pagi.
Don't worry, sir. We'll be there.
Our helicopter is on the take-off runway.
Roger, but travelling by helicopter can be dangerous.
In 1965, Pakistan Airforce shot down
Gujarat Chief Minister
Balwantrai Mehta's plane in this area.
So, you must travel by jeep.
Over.
Laxman, you will wait at the airbase.
How many Indian soldiers on the Vighakot Post?
120 Indian soldiers are stationed at the Vighakot Post along with Pagi.
And a battalion of 60 soldiers on Bhuj Airport.
They have a staff of 90 people,
and their commanding officer is Vijay Karnik.
I heard a sound. Someone's there.
Kill him.
Turn off the lights!
Hello! Hello, Curson.
What's happening out there, Curson?
Hello, Curson.
Hello!
Code?
"Shahjahan is the emperor of love."
"Taj Mahal is the symbol of love."
If the Taj Mahal is the symbol of love,
then India is your father.
Who is speaking?
Your father. Vijay Karnik.
Bhuj Airbase's commanding officer.
Go on.
What's your price to work for us?
I've already collected my price by killing your spies.
You're crossing your limits.
You don't know our limits.
We're sons of the great the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
who brought the Mughals down on their knees
and rewrote the history of India with his blood.
Thank you.
Colonel.
Our spies are dying.
Indian Navy has sunk our warship
and destroyed the Karachi port.
Our soldiers in Dhaka have stopped receiving clothes, arms and ammunition.
Indian Army has secured Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet.
And we're lying to our own people
that Pakistan is winning the war.
Let me warn you, sir.
If Indian Army continues to advance like this...
then we'll surely taste defeat.
No.
We've three ways to turn this defeat into victory.
One.
100 tanks and 1,800 troops
will march towards Delhi through Longewala.
Second, PNS Ghazi will sink INS Vikrant.
And three,
Operation Chengiz Khan, Bhuj.
This is the Kutch area of India.
50% of this area is covered by sea,
and the rest of the area is covered by desert.
And these two bridges connect Kutch with India.
At Surajbari and Banaskantha.
If we launch a sudden attack and blow up these two bridges,
these five routes and the Bhuj runway,
then Kutch will be disconnected from India.
Even if Indian Army comes through the sea,
Jamnagar or Pune,
they will need 28-48 hours to reach Bhuj.
And our 100 tanks and 1,800 troops
will cross Harami Nala from Vighakot
and reach Bhuj in 18 hours
and take over control.
Once Bhuj airport is in our control,
then India's game is up.
So, you're the traitor.
Say it one last time before I shoot you.
I love you.
So that I can shoot you.
I love you.
Sir?
Hurry up.
Surround her.
"I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship
"except Allah, the One alone, without partner,
"and bear witness that Muhammad is
"His servant and messenger.
"I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship
"except Allah, the One alone, without partner,
"and bear witness that Muhammad is
"His servant and messenger."
Jai Hind!
Shame on you!
Aren't you ashamed?
Being a Muslim, you betray Pakistan.
Pakistan is Islam's biggest enemy.
That's why your General Tikka Khan killed three million Bengali Muslims.
Wasn't that betrayal to Muslims?
Jai Hind!
Sorry, we couldn't save her.
Sardarji, if anything happens to me, then look after Preeto.
Don't say that.
I see grief in my lion's eyes.
I was thinking about Preeto, sir.
Preeto is now my daughter.
It's coming towards us.
Steady as a rock Always prepared to fight
This is our motherland We can lay down our life for it
Pakistan's flag...
Will soon soar over India!
Pakistan's flag...
Will soon soar over India!
Our fighter jets have dropped 1,000 bombs
and 50 time bombs on Bhuj Airbase and destroyed it.
Now no plane can take off or land on Bhuj Airbase.
The bridges at Surajbari and Banaskantha that connected Kutch with India
and the five routes leading to Bhuj
were destroyed by our fighter jets
and have cut off Kutch and Bhuj from India.
Remember one more thing.
We'll arrive at Indian check post Vighakot at 11 p.m.
There are 120 Indian soldiers and one Pagi at the Vighakot Post.
So, we'll need only two hours to destroy the Indian check post.
Sir, our biggest difficulty will be crossing Harami Nala.
On one end lies the sea
and quicksand on the other.
Sir, we couldn't cross Harami Nala back in '65 either.
Why can't we reroute through Banaskantha and take over Bhuj?
No.
Because even we'll need 48 hours to reach Bhuj through that route.
And Indian Army may get reinforcements till then.
We have 100 tanks and 1,800 troops right now,
If we cross Harami Nala in two hours
and annihilate all Indian soldiers,
then we'll reach by 1 a.m.
The route to Bhuj Airbase through Vighakot is around 170 kilometres.
This means we'll be successful in taking over Bhuj airbase by 5 a.m.
If Allah wills, we shall be victorious!
Victory...
Is ours!
-Victory... -Is ours!
Good news. Yes, I am happy.
Sir.
Congratulations.
When Pakistan adamantly parted ways with us in 1947,
we knew better than sending away our brother empty-handed
We sent them off with a few tears and Rs. 75 crore.
Ammunitions and explosives bought
using the same money were raining on us.
No country in the world could've paid such a big price for its decency.
Sir, the runway and control room are completely destroyed.
The radar room in the basement is intact.
20 staff members from the control room
and 20 soldiers from the anti-aircraft squad are injured.
And fighter pilot Sagar Mehta's injured too.
He's been taken to the hospital. Currently, there are no casualties.
-Imran? -Sir.
Inform everyone's families.
Yes, sir.
That was a time bomb.
-Rajnish. -Sir.
Start counting and marking the bombs.
Okay, sir.
Laxman, call the contractor and start repairing the runway.
-Hurry up. -Yes, sir.
Pakistani jets caused heavy damage to Bhuj and Jamnagar bases.
We gave them a fitting reply and foiled their plans.
But, sir, we lost Baljeet and Vikram Singh's aircrafts in this attack.
Sad news.
We'll have to be extra alert.
You'll soon receive your next orders.
Sir.
Papa!
Maulana recently gave me news from Pakistan's Badin.
He saw 100 tanks and nearly 1,800 troops
marching towards Vighakot Post.
And yes, Pakistani jets are scouting the air for their safety.
Sir, Operation Hoor is over.
We have only 120 troops and Pagi
to stop Pakistan's 1,800 troops and 100 tanks.
We must send more troops to the Vighakot Post.
Pakistan Air Force launched a fierce attack on the Bhuj Airbase,
destroying the runway and the airbase.
Aircrafts can neither off nor land there.
And we've lost all forms of communication with them also.
Why can't we send our troops directly to Vighakot Post using helicopters?
That's not possible.
Because the Pakistan Air Force is pretty vigilant in this area.
Then what option do we have?
50% of Kutch consists of water,
and the other 50% is desert.
There are only two bridges that connect Kutch with India.
Surajbari and Banaskantha.
Five of these routes lead to Bhuj.
But Pakistan Air Force has destroyed all five routes and Bhuj Airbase.
Now we've no forms of communication with them.
Whether we send our troops from Rajasthan, Pune or Jamnagar,
they will need at least 28 hours to reach Vighakot.
Pakistan Army with their 100 tanks and 1800 troops will reach by 11 p.m.
Pakistan Army can cross Harami Nala
and capture Bhuj Airbase in 18 hours.
We received this information pretty late.
How many troops do we have at Vighakot Post?
120.
If Pakistan Army takes control over Bhuj Airbase,
then they will try to negotiate with us
after the war's over, like they did in '65.
There must be some way to stop the Pakistani troops.
There's only one way.
Bhuj Airbase's commanding officer Vijay Karnik repairs the runway;
we send reinforcements from Jamnagar;
and they stop the Pakistani troops along with our soldiers,
because we have no communication with Bhuj Airbase.
Do what it takes,
but our troops should reach Vighakot Post.
You locked the door, didn't you?
Spies don't use attar.
It's a small wound,
but you may have internal injuries.
You should get an X-ray and some rest.
Sir...
Once we win the war, I'll get an X-ray and all the rest I need.
Sir, there are approximately 50 time bombs around the runway.
But none of them has a timer on them.
We've no clue which bomb is going to explode when.
Sir, going beyond this point is dangerous.
We don't even have a bomb diffuser suit.
This bomb is so powerful
that, whether you're wearing iron suits
or hiding behind a cement wall,
it will still blow you to pieces.
If we're destined to die, then no one can save us.
Connect all bombs to a single fuse and bury them under the ground.
Sir, 40 soldiers were martyred.
Clear the area.
-Clear the area. -Sir.
Get this repaired and connect me to headquarters.
Yes, sir.
Sir...
Maratha Baagh here.
Maratha Baagh, the enemy will lay siege on Vighakot at 11 p.m.
and take over Bhuj Airbase by 5 a.m.
Sir...
All the private engineers and workers have fled from Bhuj.
Send military workers by helicopter.
Both companies are repairing
the Jaisalmer, Amritsar and the other runways.
If the runway isn't repaired by dawn,
then we'll lose Kutch to the enemies.
-Over and out. -Sir.
We're here in Jamnagar and here's Vighakot.
If we use our fighter planes
to attack Pakistani jets and troops at the Vighakot Post,
then there's a danger of injuring our own troops.
And Pakistani planes can shoot down our planes.
Except for the route between Vighakot and Bhuj,
the Pakistanis have destroyed all other routes leading to Bhuj.
Sir, if we send our troops through Mandvi, Mundra, Gandhidham,
they will take at least 28-48 hours in reaching Vighakot.
Sir, we have only one option.
Deploying our troops in Bhuj through cargo planes.
-Jai Hind, sir. -Jai Hind.
There's a big risk in sending troops to your post using helicopters.
So, the troops will be deployed at Bhuj Airbase in packs of 24.
Two helicopters have taken off from Jamnagar airport with 48 troops.
Sir...
And, this evening, 24 troops have taken the sea route to reach your post.
And to outsmart the Pakistani forces,
these troops have been sent by civilian boats.
They will reach your post between 4-8 hours.
No matter how hard we try to send troops to your post,
we cannot send more than 100 troops for your reinforcement.
The safety of Kutch and Bhuj is in your hands.
Over and out.
Sir, three battalions of the Pakistan Army along with 100 tanks
are going to attack our post at 11 p.m.
We'll stand our ground and fight.
Soldiers...
as long as Vijay Karnik doesn't repair the runway at Bhuj airfield
and we don't receive more reinforcements,
we'll have to keep the enemy at bay.
I know it's a dangerous job.
We're only 120,
and the enemy are in thousands along with tanks.
But I've promised my motherland
that, even if we lose our heads,
our bodies will continue fighting.
With even a drop of blood in our bodies,
the enemy cannot cross this post and set foot in Kutch.
Let's make a promise to ourselves.
-We'll challenge... -Death!
-Glory to... -Mother India!
The runway was devastated like a house caught up in a cyclone.
The sight of destruction was enough to discourage anyone.
Then suddenly I remembered someone.
A woman.
From a broken button of a shirt to a broken courage,
women can fix anything.
Gujarat's lioness, Sunderben.
Sunderben!
Jai Hind! Jai-Jai Garvi Gujarat!
Violence is a sin.
But Lord Krishna has said
violence committed for saving someone's life
is righteousness.
Most of the men from this village
travel far and wide to earn a living.
Like my husband.
There are only women, children and old folks in this village.
My mother-in-law is always worried
about what we'll do if we're faced with a problem.
But I have cleared her worries.
I slayed the leopard.
Now I wish to slay Raavan too.
As long as the sun shines in the sky,
may India shine just as bright.
Jai Sri Ram!
Sir, all the workers who could repair the runway have fled from Bhuj,
so I've decided to take the help
of civilians from the neighbouring village to repair the runway.
You can't use civilians during the war.
If any lives are lost during an attack,
then you can be court-martialled.
Sir, I don't mind being court-martialled,
but I can't let Bhuj fall into enemy hands.
This is an impossible task, Squadron Leader.
I'm Marathi, sir. I can give up my life but not my word.
Sunderben, the country needs you.
Jadhavji bhai.
Yes?
Bring Vijay sir to the temple after 30 minutes.
Okay.
The Pakistan Army is coming to take over Kutch.
To stop the Indian Army from coming to our aide,
Pakistani planes have destroyed the Bhuj airstrip.
I am going to repair the airstrip to help the Indian Army.
Will you come with me?
Why is everyone quiet?
The country needs us.
Pakistani planes are dropping bombs.
Imagine what will happen to our children if we're dead.
The benefactor of the entire world, Lord Krishna,
he won't let any harm come to us.
But if we don't help our country
and the enemy takes control,
then we'll all have to swallow poison together.
Lord Shiva won't come to our aide.
Everyone will be disrobed publicly.
Lord Krishna won't come to save our honour.
But if we vow to fight against these tyrants like the Pandavas,
then Lord Krishna will guide us.
Wait a minute.
My friend used to say...
If I get killed on the border and breathe my last,
then send me back to my old mother.
It's her dream to see me dressed as a groom.
Make her wish come true.
Dress me as a groom and take out a procession
throughout the village and tell my mother
your son has arrived as a groom.
Though he has not got his bride,
he has brought a grand procession."
My father...
A jolly old soldier.
He used to say, "Come back when the tricolour is flying high
"or when you're wrapped in it."
I marked his words.
Never showed my back to the enemy.
Also took a bullet on my chest for the country.
My kid brother.
Ask him if he'll keep my promise.
We made a promise that
if one son dies, another will take his place at the border.
My little sister. Tell her I remember her gift.
But unfortunately,
I had to keep my promise to my motherland first.
Don't miss the house near the well.
That's where she lives.
The one I promised to live and die with.
Tell her the motherland comes before she does.
I broke one promise for another one.
One last request, one last wish.
Don't mourn my death.
I've chosen this martyrdom.
I live to die.
I am called a soldier.
My team and I will rebuild the airstrip with Sunderben.
Whether you help me or not.
Mr. Vijay.
I will help you.
My entire troupe and I will help you rebuild the airstrip.
Then bring your drums along.
We'll celebrate once the airstrip's rebuilt.
Horses, elephants, palanquin
Glory to Lord Krishna!
Horses, elephants, palanquin
Glory to Lord Krishna!
O Lord, O benefactor, O creator
O protector of worlds, fearless one
O God of Gods
O merciful one
The wise one, omniscient one
O giver of wealth, merciful one
O destroyer of evil Bestower of happiness
O giver of strength and valour
May we be successful in our foray
The light of humanity Spreads far and wide
Every basks in the divine light
Annihilate the darkness
History be created every moment
And relationships stay intact
Kindness be practised everywhere
Humans should know their way
Every girl should be wise
And every boy should be resolute
May the tricolour Fly higher than the sky
And our lands Be blessed with plenty
As long as the sun shines In the sky
So does this motherland
A woman's most valuable possession is her home.
We needed bricks and stones to build the runway.
The women of Bhuj broke their homes with their own hands
and proved India first, rest comes later.
During high tide, water from the sea
slowly flows into the desert through the canal
and recedes by midnight.
Why don't we block the mouth of the sea with cement
and make a dam?
Brilliant idea.
And we'll plant
landmines, anti-tank mines and dynamite under the dam.
When Pakistan Army tries to cross the dam,
we'll blow it up.
Come.
Waqar, go with Somnath.
Get every bag of cement you can from Lakhpat, Mata no Madh and Naliya
and as many barrels of petrol, diesel and engine oil.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Sir, keep 10 barrels of petrol, diesel and engine oil
in Lakhpath's soda factory.
-Sir. -Sir.
Take the truck to Kunda Chowki
and get as many dynamites, anti-tank mines,
landmines and explosives you can get.
Sir.
Shri Guru Gobind Singh fought 21 battles in his lifetime
and never lost.
He didn't fight these wars for women, property or wealth.
He fought these wars to protect and safeguard
his religion and the existence of India.
Guru Gobind Singh and his family made many sacrifices to protect India.
Now we must fight for that same India
and also sacrifice ourselves if required.
Utter thy name...
And we shall triumph!
Vijay Karnik is repairing the runway, and I'm going to land this jet there.
The chances of safely landing this aircraft
and our survival are 1%.
There is no pressure on you.
Only those 250 soldiers
who don't value their lives can come with me on this mission.
Imran, take all the children to the bunkers
and call everyone's wives here.
Yes, sir.
Tell Usha to arrange for everyone's food at the Swaminarayan temple
-and meet us back here. -Okay, sir.
Laxman, turn on the headlights of all trucks and jeeps
and point them towards the runway.
Roger.
Sir.
Instead of 250, 500 troops are willing to come with you on this mission.
Make preparations.
Sir!
When this siren goes off,
it means the enemy planes are coming to bomb us.
As soon as you hear this siren, you'll steer clear of the airstrip
and do exactly as Laxman's doing.
Laxman.
And as soon as the danger is over,
you will hear another siren.
Meaning you can return to work.
Okay, Charlie.
Okay and out.
We cannot send any more troops to Bhuj Airbase through helicopters
because Pakistan Navy has blown up our helicopter.
And they also blew up the boat in which 12 soldiers
of the Sikh regiment were travelling.
Vikram Singh, landing a plane in Bhuj Airbase is very dangerous.
Sir, no need to worry.
Faster. Faster.
The troops have been positioned according to your markings.
Jai Hind, sir.
Sir.
I see grief in my lion's eyes.
Sir, this plane cannot carry 500 troops.
We'll have to lessen the load.
We've kept soda bottles
filled with petrol and crude oil at a distance of 30 feet each.
We'll throw these bottles at the enemy and fire at them.
And these bottles will serve as ten bullets.
This will cause more damage to the enemy and we'll waste fewer bullets.
-Understood? -Yes, sir!
20 troops will stay with me on that side of the canal,
20 troops on the dam,
and the rest will be on this side of the canal with Pagi.
We'll keep changing our positions after opening fire.
-Any doubts? -No, sir!
-Can't hear. -No, sir!
-Can't hear! -No, sir!
Good.
Here's your fake Pakistani ID.
Your name is Jamil Khan.
That's the artillery firing by the Pakistan Army
to suppress the sound of their tanks.
Do you remember Pakistan Army's code word?
Yes, sir.
According to our strategy,
I'll make the Pakistani tanks form a single line.
Okay.
Turn off the lights.
Run!
Aim!
Sir, we'll build it again.
Am I right, sisters?
Yes, we'll build it again!
Pakistani jets attacked us again.
We shot down two of them.
They dropped 25 bombs,
and one of them fell on the runway that we were rebuilding
and formed a 20-feet crater.
Sir, if our planes keep hovering over Bhuj Airbase,
then their planes won't dare to attack again.
And we can rebuild the runaway without any interruptions.
Okay, Squadron Leader.
Anarkali.
Akbar's girl.
Where are you coming from?
Vighakot Post.
How many troops are posted there?
1,500.
I am going to give this news to headquarters.
What are their intentions?
What strategy are they planning?
There are explosives on both sides of the bridge,
so you must use the bridge.
Good.
Thanks for the information.
Goodbye.
May God bless you with His grace too.
1,500 Indian troops were posted there.
Yes, sir.
We've been warned about this, so we must be alert.
Yes, sir.
O Goddess Karni,
I'm bestowing the honour of my country and mine in your hands.
Now I'll wear this turban only the day I win the war.
Glory to Goddess.
"The enemy's ready to charge With guns blazing"
"And I'm ready To take every bullet"
"We'll fight till the last drop of blood If required"
"The desire to sacrifice my life Is on my mind"
"Let's see how courageous The enemy is"
No one will open fire until I don't say so.
-Okay, sir. -Over.
Fire!
Move the tanks to the left. Quick!
Damn it! Shoot!
Fire!
The old man betrayed us.
He lied to us. He's bluffed us.
Charge at the enemy!
Don't worry.
These are our planes.
Please...
Fire! Fire!
Steer all tanks to the left.
Silver formation here.
-Sir, runway ready for landing. -Yes, Maratha Baagh.
Ready to fly, sir.
All clear. Repeat.
The weight of 500 troops is too much, sir.
Vikram, reduce about 50 soldiers from there.
Okay, okay, sir.
You all put your lives at risk
and repaired the runway in a single night.
India will always be indebted to you.
I salute all of you.
Vikram Singh just took off with 450 soldiers.
Keep the vehicles ready
so the troops can be immediately sent to Vighakot Post.
Okay, sir.
The sun anoints your face
Every branch showers flowers on you
The winds fill your chambers
The raindrops wash your feet
Hail Lord Ganesha
Sir, Squadron Leader Vikram Singh.
Silver formation.
Maratha Baagh, we're ready to land.
The patches haven't dried up yet.
Land carefully. All the best.
But the front wheel of my plane is damaged.
Please come on the runway with the trolley.
The trolley was destroyed in the bombing.
Keep circling in the air until I ready my truck.
I'll wave my kerchief as soon as the truck's speed reaches 120.
You can land your front tyre on the truck's carrier.
All the best.
Okay.
Brother.
As soon as the plane lands on the truck,
the truck's speed will increase to 400 kilometres.
The truck's tyres will explode. It's dangerous.
This landing is not possible, brother.
Have you forgotten Father's words?
Marathas know only two things.
To kill or be killed.
Hail Bhawani
We owe our breaths to the country
We'll repay it with our lives
We were born as humans
And depart as martyrs
We owe our breaths to the country
We'll repay it with our lives
We were born as humans
And depart as martyrs
We shall rest hearing A lullaby of bullets
Born as sons to our mothers
We shall die As sons of the soil
Don't be sad, O motherland Whenever you think of us
We shall return from our sleep To protect again
We owe our breaths to the country
We'll repay it with our lives
We were born as humans
And depart as martyrs
We shall rest hearing A lullaby of bullets
Born as sons to our mothers
We shall die As sons of the soil
Don't be sad, O motherland Whenever you think of us
We shall return from our sleep To protect again
In every lifetime, I want to be A soldier of my motherland
India happily reaped its own land.
They didn't want to snatch anyone's land.
Even after winning the war,
we didn't seize control of East Pakistan.
Instead, we created a new country, Bangladesh,
and returned the country to whom it belonged.
The geography of the world changed forever.
And Yahya Khan's dreams of sharing tea with Mrs. Gandhi
could never come true.
Sir, tea.
Congratulations.
Well done.
O land of mine
I live for your pride
Nothing is more valuable
Than the soil of my country
Your light shines bright
Your breeze keeps me alive
You're my heaven
And I'm your little bird
Such is my request
I want to fade away In your light
If the country ever remembers
How one perished for their country
My name should be mentioned too
O country of mine
I live for your pride
Nothing is more valuable
Than the soil of my country
Your light shines bright
Your breeze keeps me alive
You're my heaven
And I'm your little bird
May your glory Always be colourful
May the tricolour fly higher Than the sky
Bless me with life
Or the will to attain martyrdom
I accept whatever you choose
Whether in the finest silks
Or a soldier's shroud
I accept to be wrapped In anything you choose
O land of mine
I live for your pride
Nothing is more valuable
Than the soil of my country
Your light shines bright
Your breeze keeps me alive
You're my heaven
And I'm your little bird
