Kid.

Kid

where can I get a nice, hot cup of tea?

Kawa?

Kawa will do too.

That way.

Follow me. I'll show you.

On foot? Hop on. We'll go together.

Okay.

Do you go to school?

Where?

Up on that tree?

Kotli.

Kotli?

Every morning

we walk for two hours to get to school.

Where's your school in Kotli?

It's in the old poultry farm

with the red roof on top.

Inside the poultry farm.

Well, it's just a school now.

Where did all the chickens now?

We ate them.

Smart kid.

And where do you live?

Up on that tree?

Smart alec.

No. Up in the sky.

I fly airplanes because I am a pilot.

Do you know what's an airplane?

Sure?

Yes, sir.

Karan, are you in Srinagar.

Yes, sir. Surveillance in progress, sir.

Report to Air Base immediately.

- Yes, sir. - Immediately!

Sir.

Moving 303 turning west.

Delta to Airborne. In position.

Copy target location.

Coordinates 33 degrees

30 20 North 73 degrees 53 57 East.

Destroy. Read.

Destroy the targets on these coordinates.

Do you copy that, Cheetahs?

Roger, copy that.

- Roger that, sir. - Good

ETA in 2 minutes.

Cheetah, copy that.

Cheetah 1&2 engage target.

Enemy activity confirmed.

Anti-establishment activity confirmed.

Engaging.

'Where's your school in Kotli?'

'The old poultry farm with the red roof.'

Confirming coordinates again.

Kotli village.

Good.

Ready to go in for the kill in

10 seconds, Cheetah 1.

Negative, sir.

It's a densely populated area.

Negative, Cheetah 1.

Head for barren land, enemy hideout.

Negative sir, I can see housing here.

Cheetah 1 and 2

damage assessment is done.

Drop the payload.

3 seconds.

Karan, drop the bomb now.

Cheetah 2, target engaged.

Come on, drop the bomb now, Karan.

Bomb release failure sir, drop negative.

Try again.

Damnit!

Bomb release failure sir, drop negative.

This is not the time

to grow a conscious, Karan.

Drop the bomb.

I said fire!

Fire!

I said fire!

Cheetah 2, target destroyed.

Skyline 502, this is Mumbai Tower

do you read?

Skyline 502, this is Mumbai Tower

do you read?

Even the Satellite phone is unreachable.

Skyline 502, this is Mumbai Tower

do you read?

See now they know everything.

Thanks to that Pari.

And after they hear

our cockpit conversation

they will declare me a terrorist.

I know how terrorists are dealt with

better than anyone else.

Come what may..

only I will ask him questions.

No communications either.

Got that?

SL502 to ATC, Capt. Sachdeva here.

Captain, how is everything.

How's the communication system now?

Everything okay, officer.

I need the landing coordinates.

Which is the closest airport?

Port Blair.

We'll prepare for landing.

Thank you.

That was smooth.

That's what I fear.

Accidents happen on smooth roads.

Ma'am, he is

An Ex-Air Force Pilot.

No one knows what he's capable

of doing in a split second.

Sorry, guys. I win.

Six Gallantry awards in 3 years.

A number of special mission.

Got to hand it to you, Kiran.

You're doing very well.

But to be honest I am not

that impressed.

Facing the enemy alone in the field

needs guts.

'Guts' means..

Liver.

Right.

And there's no better

way to test your liver.

The mark of a real Army Office.

Now look! You made her angry.

That's no way to challenge a lady.

Come on, guys. I was just

If I'm gonna win

then why compromise on taste?

Of course. To each it's own.

Cheers.

Come on!

Nice.

Cheers.

That reminds me, officer

when was the last time

you saw any action.

You haven't been on a mission

for the past 6 months almost.

Isn't it?

By the way, what was the problem?

Health issues?

Fatty liver.

Overdrinking, maybe?

Yes, yes.

Awesome.

By the way, officer

you never said what I'll get if I win

besides self-respect

which I already have.

Drink and Drive?

No!

Cheers!

Sir! Come on sir!

Come on. Come on. Yes! Yes!

Capt. Gill.

Yes, sir.

Captain, I've constantly observed

your performance.

And especially the one out there.

Without mincing my words

let me tell you

you are the finest soldier

in the core of Intelligence.

Thank you, sir.

Which is why I've recommended

your name for a special mission

and going on this mission

is no less than a promotion, Captain.

No one your age has been

allowed to go on a mission like this.

Colonel, I am sorry

but I can't take this.

I have to decline.

- Excuse me. - I am pregnant, sir.

I am going on leave.

How come you were drinking?

Sir, that was water.

Boys, you know.

They always get over-excited easily.

I didn't know you and your husband

were planning a family.

So what next?

I'm applying for a desk job

before going on a maternity leave

with Core of Intelligence.

And, I also intend to study

Criminal Psychology.

I can already predict you will ace it.

Thank you, sir.

The mark of a real Army Officer

is not their drinking capacity

but their mediation and passion.

Explain that to him when he comes around.

SL502 to ATC, Capt. Sachdeva here.

Captain

I know this episode must have physically

and mentally drained all of you.

All I want is for

this to end as soon as possible

and everyone goes back to their

homes safe and sound.

We're all concerned about you.

By the way, how is Capt. Joe?

I don't know, Officer.

The intercom in his room is disconnected.

Can we speak to him?

Like now?

Just to see if he's okay.

Not everyone is as strong as you are, Captain.

I mean he doesn't have

an Air Force background like you.

We would like to ensure he's not rattled.

Okay.

We'll be landing in 15 minutes anyway.

Then we can all sort out our differences.

Maybe over some coffee.

Humour... even under such stress.

It's the situation.

Anyway, take care captain.

And let us speak

with him as soon as it's possible.

The Air-hostess

sounded pretty worried about him.

I am more concerned

about the cabin crew, Officer.

Cabin Crew, all stations

please prepare for landing.

We're descending now.

Wow, are you an artist?

Used to be.

But not anymore.

Why is that?

Could not make a living out of it.

Maybe I wasn't good enough.

Or maybe, I was meant to be more.

Or less.

Well, I wanted to be a dancer

but I was terrible.

I guess I was meant to be up here.

You know, I used to have a stall

stall of my paintings

right in front of a gallery,in Mumbai.

A big gallery.

I would wait day and night

but nothing would sell.

It seemed like people were buying

signature, more than art.

One night one person came and told me

why don't you sell something else.

Since I have a wife and child to feed.

I became a salesman.

What did you start selling?

Well, people's needs and wants.

Whatever they asked for.

Wow!

Guess we're the same in that way.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Would you like me to serve your meals

here or back in first class?

Yes.

I am all right here, thank you.

Well, maybe I could get you something

Gisselle I don't need anything

I don't want anything.

You don't have to take that trouble.

Thank you.

Excuse me, sir.

May I sit?

Of course, you can.

Is anyone else sitting here?

No.

In fact, I believe this seat's for you.

Thank you, that's very kind of you.

Siddharth Singhania.

Krishnamurthy.

Nice to meet you.

You know why I called you home?

Karan

what happened back there?

It was a technical failure, sir.

Accidental?

Intentional?

Or, was it a failure to obey orders.

I wasn't born yesterday, Karan.

Sit.

Sit down now, don't behave like a child.

We had suspicions of enemy activity

in that area, Karan.

But deaths?

That was confirmed.

It's called collateral damage.

The world is not a perfect place, Karan.

Even we humans are not perfect, sir.

We're not just humans, Karan.

You please bloody

well get that into your head.

The Forces don't spend millions

to breed humans.

They make warriors.

- Warriors! - Warriors?

Or weapons?

What are we?

When needed, warriors.

When needed, weapons.

Okay.

It's good to know, sir.

Good.

Either you can calm your mind down

or start piloting one

of those commercial airlines.

You can fly those passenger flights.

You know, like those losers

who couldn't become fighter pilots.

Have your drink and

sort your head out, Karan.

My head is clear.

I can't do this.

Wow

And then there was your father

The man died in the skies

on a mission serving his nation

which is a dream for

every fighter pilot.

I guess I am not my father, sir.

And I'll always regret

that I couldn't be like him.

You forgot your hat, Wing Commander.

No, sir. I didn't.

You were wrong, Commander.

You were wrong.

Real pilots don't just take lives

they save lives too.

I am sorry Abhi

that you had to be collateral damage.

But I must save

those 300 lives out there.

From myself.

And from this

this red pill.

This color has been wreaking havoc.

Two hot cups of the tea that you like.

Thank you.

I'll get that.

Hello.

Yeah, just a minute.

It's for you.

Hello.

Yes, sir.

Sir, actually I am on leave.

Okay.

Okay, sir. I'll be there.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

What's wrong?

I've got to go.

Now?

Do you need a lift?

No, they are sending me transportation.

Be safe.

Yeah.

And tell them to steer clear.

What?

Of you.

Really?

I'll see you.

Here.

Nothing dangerous, right?

See you.

Give me cover. Give me cover.

Copy, sir. Copy.

Come on. Let's go.

Good afternoon.

Afternoon.

Hostages taken?

12 hostages

including women and children.

He's already killed two hostage

and dumped their bodies.

Weapons?

Ak-56

pistol and couple of grenades as well.

The firing frequency has stopped.

And he's got limited supplies.

Do we have a clear shot?

Not yet, ma'am.

Okay.

- Patch me through to him. - Okay.

Patching through, sir.

[wireless crackle]

Aslam.

Aslam, this is officer-in-charge

Kiran speaking.

I can save you

but you must free the hostages.

The hostages will be set free

when I get my chopper.

And in 15 minutes.

Listen to me, Aslam.

I don't want to hear anything

except for my helicopter

and make that right now.

It's a helicopter, not a pizza

that we can deliver in under 2 minutes.

I really wanted to save you.

But if you have a death wish

then so be it.

Shut up!

Hello.

Ma'am, he wants to speak with you?

Go on, Aslam.

How long for the chopper to get here?

The Army believes

that you've killed all the hostages.

They are planning to charge-in

all guns blazing and finish this.

But, that's not what I want.

Then you better tell your Army

if I die, then this

entire area will go down with me.

I have a grenade.

You have a grenade?

Which grenade?

Which grenade?

The ones that you use on us.

Try to understand the seriousness.

If the Army attacks, then everyone dies.

You must give

them a sample of your strength.

So? What do you want me to do?

Wave the grenade out the window?

Do you take me for a fool?

They will shoot me.

The Army is not stupid, Aslam.

They will not shoot a man

who has a live grenade.

We all value our lives, Aslam.

Let's just finish this.

You want a chopper, don't you?

It's been arranged.

You can see for yourself

from the west side window.

But when you come out

make sure you're carrying the grenade.

You'll be free to go

and free the hostages as you go.

Movement at the window.

Target visible.

Ma'am he's approaching the window.

Do we have a clear shot?

Clear line of sight,

enemy out in the open

Yes, ma'am.

Take it.

Ma'am, he's got a live grenade.

Take it.

The entire building will blow up, ma'am.

Take the shot.

Okay, ma'am.

[wireless crackle]

Take the shot.

Grenade, huh?

All stations copy.

Landing procedures initiated.

Thank God.

Ma'am, the plane will land in 10 minutes.

Capt. Sachdev.

I was deeply shocked to learn

about Co-Pilot Abhimanyu.

Do you think Capt. Joe

can be his partner in crime?

No, I don't think so.

Great.

Can you please connect me to him.

Later, officer.

I'm in the middle

of the landing procedure.

Capt. Joe is either dead

or he's been taken hostage.

Immediately contact

the Police and Special Forces.

Port Blair has to be cordoned

and secured.

There's more to come.

This man cannot be trusted.

No.

She cannot be trusted.

She knows about Joe.

How did you know he was lying?

Eat almonds.

How about you

share some tips with me too?

My promotion's long overdue.

Don't just focus on the conversation

but his voice as well.

Learn to read

the silence between the conversations.

His statements can be a lie

but silence speaks volumes.

Ask him the right questions

and the truth shall be revealed.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

I spent my life chasing after my dreams.

Believed that money would bring me joy.

With success, I'll find peace.

I found happiness to an extent.

But not peace.

Success often feels empty,

like something is missing.

I am not depressed.

But sometimes I feel that

maybe death

is the only medium to attain peace.

I am sorry, I may be sounding weird, but

No, no, no, please carry on.

Please.

I think I've been through a lot.

I mean my journey.

But I've no will to continue.

I don't feel attached to anything.

Feels like there's a void in my life.

I just want to know

when this journey will end.

That question.

Everything else revolves

around that one question.

What's wrong in it?

Everyone wants to know

about the position of their stars

but only a few have the strength

to listen to them, to follow them

and to change oneself.

I am not afraid of change

Mr. Krishnamurthy.

I have changed so many times

I've forgotten who I am.

So you won't tell me

when I'm going to die.

Ask for something else.

I've everything else I want.

Just needed the answer

to the eternal question.

That answer has hurt

more people than I helped.

Father.

Porridge.

What's the occasion?

Revathi.

When I was 13, I read my own charts.

V. Krishnamurthy will die 2000 kilometers

away from home, on foreign land

morning of 7th July 2014, heart failure.

And, I've had decades to deal with this.

But if there's no reason

to travel abroad

then can't we assume

that your destiny perhaps shifted.

Even your student, who was

supposed to show up, didn't.

Revathi.

Enough.

The moment I change my plan

due to the fear of death

then I give it power over me.

Excuse me, sir.

Sir, an email from Mr. Mathews.

Where are my spectacles?

- Read it. - Okay, sir.

"Dear Mr. V. Krishnamurthy."

"We're writing to you urgently

from Mr. Mathew's office."

"He's currently in Sydney

and needs urgent consultation."

"Kindly join him there at the soonest."

"Attached below is your flight ticket."

"Flight date 7th July 2014 from Mumbai."

Destiny has its own way of finding us.

No matter how far

we try and run away from it.

If you teach me the basics of Astrology

then I'll figure out my future on my own.

I am a quick learner.

As a student, I won't disappoint you.

My student.

Laptop.

Here.

Your date of birth?

30th of August, 1969.

8:30 Am.

Amritsar.

Yes, you are?

Siddharth.

My only regret

is that we met pretty late.

I wish we

could spend some more time together.

We have the entire flight journey

ahead of us, Mr. Krishnamurthy.

And now I am your student.

We'll keep meeting often.

Yes, often.

By the end of the journey

I'll know enough

to predict my own future. Right?

Well, it's said that

Krishna taught Arjun the lesson of

self-realization and Karma

in just four hours.

Whereas we have seven.

Right.

I think I can teach you

the basic of Astrology.

But I must warn you.

Life won't be the same.

Who wants the same.

Then I accept you as my student.

Government crew please

prepare for landing we are sending now

Excuse me.

Are we landing?

Yes, sir.

We just need to make a small temporary

landing to sought a technical glitch.

Just a short delay.

But why?

Like I said, sir.

Just a small technical glitch.

I'll make the announcement now.

Every time I take a flight

when I am up there

I am filled with guilt.

When we're flying at that height

there's nothing.

And that's when you get to

look deep inside your soul.

And I start seeing all my mistakes.

Not mistakes, but sins.

They were sins.

How could I've not seen

what they were making us do?

So many people whom I

Innocent people died.

But the enemy lives on.

The enemy is still alive.

On that side

as well as on this side.

'Terrorists are holding people hostage

in a clinic in a posh area of Mumbai.

This is their first attack

in the city of Mumbai.

After an eight-hour operation the Army

finally took control of the situation.'

Hi.

Hi.

'..from our sources that the terrorists

were carrying guns and explosives.'

'The Army opened fire on three youngsters

suspecting terrorist activities

out of which two were shot dead.'

Are you okay?

Yes absolutely.

I hope it wasn't anything dangerous.

You know you've to take

extra precautions at this time.

'And to discuss this matter

Fine.

we have with us former negotiator

I am in the hall.

Mr. Ansari. Welcome, Mr. Ansari.'

'According to the sources

the brave Intelligence officer

Captain Kiran who saved all the hostages

according to our sources

the terrorist was alone,

and was demanding a helicopter.

You know

Intelligence is also trying to find out

which terrorist group..'

Truth and lies

the two sides of the same coin.

No one knows

which side the coin will fall.

That's the case with right and wrong.

Sometimes you know what's right or wrong

only after you've done it.

Like

i didn't kill you or Joe

but

I'll be held responsible

for your deaths.

But, after what I am going to do now

we'll soon know whether

I was right or wrong.

Captain.

Sl502 to ATC.

Yes, Captain.

The airport is ready.

The airstrip has been vacated.

There's a change in plan, Officer.

I am listening.

I've some conditions

before I land this plane.

What conditions?

Since when did you

turn into a hijacker, Captain.

May I know who is this?

What are you trying to do, Kale?

Nilesh Kale.

ATS Tactical Head, Indian Forces.

Head of Anti Terrorist Squad

and also in charge of this situation.

Nice CV.

But don't fool yourself, Commander.

I am flying the plane. I'm the incharge.

You know that the ATS

doesn't negotiate with anyone.

Good.

Karan, listen to me.

Because I don't negotiate either.

Listen to me. Let's find a way to agree.

What I say, I want done.

We're not the enemy.

Or else

He's beginning to ascend again.

Altitude rising.

He's not landing anymore, ma'am.

You want more proof, Commander.

Well, here it is.

Captain.

Captain.

He's put off all the communications now.

SL502, come in.

Captain.

SL 502.

You want to play, huh?

Let's play.

This time I give the orders.

He's ascending again.

SL 502, come in.

SL 502.
