'This film was mainly shot in Ladakh.'

'The story begins in July 1962,'

'when the Chinese aggression seemed unthinkable.'

'It ends in November 1962 when the first attack was over'

'and the second was on it's way.'

'This story deals only with the happenings in Ladakh.'

Sit down. - Thank you sir!

Are you going to Srinagar? - No sir. To Ladakh.

Your first time? - Yes, sir.

How is the place?

I like the place. - Sir!

Are you also going to Ladakh, sir? - Yes.

But only after staying in Srinagar for a few days.

Will you halt at Srinagar? - No, sir.

After I reach Srinagar, I'll catch a flight for Ladakh.

Good.

Ram Singh, why do you look so sad?

Sir... - Yes, go ahead.

I'd taken leave for my marriage.

Are you sad about getting married or being away from your wife?

No sir, I didn't get married.

Why? Had a tussle with the girl's father?

No sir, I had a tussle with the bride.

On a trivial matter.

You? - Why not?

Go before someone sees us.

Meeting the bride before marriage is a bad omen.

Why did you come?

I couldn't stop myself. - Go away.

Don't get impatient.

We'll meet after marriage anyways.

I'll have to go for duty immediately after marriage.

To someplace far.

So what? We'll still be together. - Wives are not allowed there.

How long will you be gone? - For one and a half years.

One and a half years! You should've taken a longer leave.

I'd taken a month off, but the priest scheduled the marriage,

in such a way that my leave was wasted.

We could've married after one and a half years then.

What nonsense! - No one had consented to this marriage.

I somehow convinced them and you're leaving me at their mercy?

I don't want to marry.

This marriage will take place now or never! - Okay! Be it so.

Think again. - I have.

I'll never come back. - I don't care!

Did you call me? - No.

It's okay, send her a letter as soon as you reach.

She'll relent.

Sir!

Hello Sir!

Take it easy boy. This is Ladakh. - Yes sir!

I know you love running but there is less oxygen in the air.

You'll fall short of breath, take care. Come along.

You've come from Srinagar and I'm leaving for Srinagar.

You've come by plane and I'm going by jeep.

Are you leaving, sir? - Yes, I'm on my leave.

I was waiting for you so that I could introduce you to my C.O.

and then only leave for Srinagar.

I'm being awaited there. - Okay.

Right! Left!

About turn! Start running.

March on the spot.

Quick march!

Be stiff! Straighten out your arm. About turn!

I'm exhausted.

Exhausted? And then you say you want to be a soldier!

You'll become a scrubber! C'mon pick up the rifle.

Okay.

Walk fast!

Keep it straight you fool! About turn! March!

He doesn't spare me at all! I wonder how long this will continue.

Halt! About turn!

Rest! Unguard!

Charge!

Attention! Whoever asked you to stand at ease?

Keep down the rifle. Do it quickly.

Stop.

Well done. Are you tired?

Don't say well done. I am really tired.

Sorry sir! I'll reward you for that. - Reward?

This is a medal. It's given to brave men.

Am I brave? - Yes!

But if you show cowardice after wearing it, I'll snatch it away.

I'll never be a coward. - Bravo!

But I'll become an officer, won't I?

Certainly! You'll become a better officer than me.

Halt! About turn!

Salute!

Brigadier wants to see you.

Dad! You? When did you arrive? - C'mon get in.

What a surprise! - My son!

Sir, Brigadier is on his way. - Is it? Where's he?

He is with the D.C.P.

All right.

I really like the camp of Sonamer.

I wanted to meet Bahadur before I leave for Ladakh.

Good decision, sir.

That way, even we got a chance to meet you.

Bahadur, If Major permits, come to Srinagar on Saturday.

We'll dine together.

Sure, certainly sir! - Thanks sir!

Sunday morning when I leave for Ladakh you can return here.

Bahadur, write letters to your mom. She's worried about you.

Yes, sir! Yes, dad!

Cheers, sir! - Cheers!

Jolly good one sir!

I'll be back in a moment. - Wait!

Don't forget to come on Saturday. - Yes dad!

Make Bahadur work really hard.

Don't treat him leniently, because he's a Brigadier's son.

Don't worry, sir!

Bahadur is amongst our efficient officers.

The regiment has great expectations from him.

Halt! Dismiss!

Why did you stand for so long?

Why wouldn't I? Am I a coward? Don't you see my medal?

Forgive me, brother. You're a better officer than I.

I forgive you. - Thank you.

You promised to take me to your home.

Yes, we'll go tomorrow.

Promise? - Promise!

Solam!

That's my sister.

Help!

Solam! Come quickly.

Save me.

Come here quickly.

What happened?

A lamb? It will surely die.

Give me that cloth.

C'mon lets go. You're taking so long!

What are you thinking?

Won't you tell me?

Okay, fine. Let me tell you what I'm thinking.

I'm thinking that the valley of Sonamer is extremely beautiful.

And this beauty reflects in your eyes.

Tomorrow you'll leave and this valley will lose it's charm,

because you'll take away all it's beauty with you.

And then my eyes will search for you amongst mountains,

forests and snow.

Now tell me, what are you thinking?

She's thinking of nothing. Come home, mother is calling you.

Sir!

Hello Bahadur! Good morning! What is it?

I'd mentioned about a young boy who wants to go to Lamayur with you.

Oh yes! Where is he?

His home is right there. There he comes.

Over there? - Yes, sir.

Ask him to hurry up.

How can he go without his mother? His mother is very old.

Is mother accompanying him too?

Sir, actually his sister is ill.

Mother and daughter were going on horse-back.

So I said that our Major is very kind, he'll take you.

I'm going by jeep, not by truck.

You want me to take the entire troop!

I'm really very sorry. I committed without consulting you.

Sir, she's very ill.

Okay. - Thank you, sir.

Hurry up!

Is she very sick?

Mom, come here quickly.

What happened to you?

Okay, Bahadur! I'll do this for your sake.

C'mon hurry up!

Are you going to Srinagar today? - Yes, sir!

Say hello to Brigadier. - Yes, sir!

What's your name? - Solam.

Is she your sister? - Yes.

What's your name? - Anmo.

Anmo! Lovely name!

Are you from Ladakh? - Yes, but our mother is from Kashmir.

I'm Kashmiri. Their father is Ladakhi.

So you're going to Ladakh.

First we'll go to Lamayuro. It's on the way.

Our relatives live there.

From there we'll go to Leh. We have a house there as well.

Then we'll proceed further to Forbrang.

Forbrang?

Yes, Chasul is 200 miles away from Leh.

Forbrang is 50 miles from Chasul.

Don't you know that?

Their paternal grand father lives there.

I thought their maternal grand father!

No, he's left behind in Sonamer!

Do you like Leh better or Forbrang? - Leh.

I'm asking her. - She likes both.

Leh? She doesn't like Leh.

Forbrang? She doesn't like Forbrang either.

Sonamer? - Sonamer?

Yes, she likes Sonamer. She didn't like it earlier.

Oh! So she likes it now!

Wow!

Their father always stopped at this temple.

Where does he live? - He lives in Leh.

What's the matter?

You look especially happy after visiting the temple.

It's god's grace. - Is it?

Don't you speak?

She speaks a lot when she fights with me.

I hope you didn't face any trouble on the way.

No.

Okay.

Anmo, let's go.

Anmo! - I'm coming.

Hurry up!

Anmo.

When did you arrive friend? - I've been transferred here.

Make me do the parade.

We'll do the parade tomorrow. Let's go.

Nice to see you all again. How about you?

Same here. - How about her?

She doesn't feel so. Yes, she does!

Sit down.

You came to Ladakh. Fate brought me here as well.

Do you know why?

Even I don't know.

Maybe it's our fate to be together.

Maybe I was admitted in the army to stay near you.

Maybe I was born again,

as our association remained incomplete in our past lives,

which will now be completed.

My heart only wants to be with you.

Maybe I'll go far away until destiny brings us together again

and then you live with me forever and ever.

I don't know where you've come from or where you'll go.

I don't know whether to believe you or not?

But my heart says,

when you're close I need nothing else.

Today I'd prayed in the temple that I meet you again.

I got what I wished for.

Tomorrow I shall go to the temple again and pray,

that if I have a life, it should be spent with you.

And if I have to die, it should happen before you.

Yes Anmo.

I'll take you to my town, Delhi.

And... - Is it far away?

Yes. - Is it a big town?

Yes. - Do many people live there?

Yes, many. - Is it a bright town?

Yes. - Will you take me for a visit?

Yes.

I'll give you beautiful clothes and jewellery.

Will you put them on? - Yes.

I'll introduce you to my mother. She's really nice.

Will you meet her? - Yes.

I filled and and took out water from the jeep twice. What now?

Let's go. We were waiting for you.

Tomorrow come to the stone house near the tent for parade.

Okay.

See you tomorrow. - Julay!

'Julay'? What does it mean?

We say 'Julay' when we meet somebody and again before parting.

Is it? So Julay.

Julay. - Julay.

The camps which you're supposed to go to are 300 miles away.

It'll take you 3 days by jeep and 1 day on foot. - Yes, sir.

It's a tough journey. You may leave tomorrow. - Very good, sir!

We have Chinese camps near ours, on our territory.

Talks are on between Delhi and Pecking to remove them.

We only need to protect our camps. - Very good, sir!

Sir, remember I'd mentioned a boy from Sonamer,

to whom I give parade practise. - Yes.

He's coming tomorrow. He likes to parade.

Don't worry. I'll instruct him. - Thank you, sir.

Bahadur! - Yes, sir!

Leave tomorrow and command camp number 3.

I'll follow you and will be 5 miles away in camp number 1.

Very good, sir. - Okay?

Very good!

Good luck, Major! - Thank you, sir.

Good! - Thank you, sir.

Bahadur?

Yes, daddy?

Did you write to your mom? - Yes. I'll post it today.

Very good! All the best! - Thank you, daddy.

My son! I'm proud of you!

Bye.

Solam? - What is it?

Wait, I'm coming.

I'm leaving. Girls aren't required there.

That's not your business. Wait up, I'm coming!

Okay, hurry up!

Solam, you go. Don't tell him that I'm here.

'A boy was about to come. Check if has come or not!'

Sir is calling you. Come!

They say that Bahadur has gone someplace far.

He'll surely come, but they don't know when.

Attention!

About turn!

Stand at ease! Rest!

Julay! - Julay!

When did you come to Leh? - A few days back.

Where are you going, Major? - Me?

I'm going far away. - And my friend Bahadur?

He's accompanying me. - When will he come back?

I don't know.

I'll ask him to meet you when he returns.

Say Julay to him on my behalf.

Julay.

Julay.

Everything is fine, sir. - Okay, you may leave.

'Dear son, blessings.'

'I learnt from your letter,'

'that Ladakh is like a destroyed garden of Eden,'

'which has been revived by a beautiful Ladakhi girl.'

'I'll make her my daughter-in-law,'

'if you like her so much. I only want to see you happy.'

Anmo, didn't I tell you my mother is a darling?

She has agreed to make you her daughter-in-law!

"Whenever I hear a faint noise,"

"my heart wonders,"

"if it's him."

"Whenever I hear a faint noise,"

"my heart wonders,"

"if it's him."

"It's as if someone hidden in my heart,"

"is calling me."

"He lights the lamp of heart before dusk."

"It can be only his call, it's his style."

"I wonder if it's him."

"I wonder if it's him."

"His lovely face,"

"His lovely face,"

"is set in my eyes."

"I can feel sparks in my nerves."

"The breeze after touching whose robe,"

"has touched my body?"

"I wonder if it's him."

"Whenever I hear a faint noise,"

"my heart wonders if it's him."

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

This is our land! You all pack up and leave!

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

This is our land! You all pack up and leave!

We don't want to fight with you!

You'll be slaughtered, if you don't leave!

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

This is our land! You all pack up and leave!

We don't want to fight with you!

You'll be slaughtered, if you don't leave!

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

They are declaring it again that we are brothers.

They are doing it again. This is nonsense.

They think Genghis Khan gave

them all the lands he travelled to.

Chinese and Indians are brothers! They've got on to our nerves!

We're assigned duty at such an annoying place by the government.

You're a new recruit. Whoever admitted you in the army?

He's a kid. - We are landlords!

Both my brothers are already in the army.

I was a carpenter until I returned home one evening.

Sister-in-law! Today I made your Kishan a farmer!

Mom! We did a lot of ploughing today. - Really?

Both my sister-in-laws are very good.

I've been trying to find the difference between the two.

Today I found the difference.

Elder one is very sweet.

While the younger one is a bit salty!

Help!

Will you ever repeat that? - Never!

Okay, she's bitter! - Stop it!

Okay! She's as sweet as honey.

Salty-sweet!

Teasing my daughter, are you? Slap him! - No!

Go ahead, slap him! Very good!

Son, it was your father's wish that you join the military,

when you turn 18.

You should join now, since you're 18.

Military?

You've already sent two sons. Isn't that enough?

This kid hasn't seen his father for two years.

This poor girl has seen her husband only twice since marriage.

When he gets married, his wife will face the same situation.

And you?

You haven't seen your son in two years!

Now you plan to send him as well.

Please don't send him. The house will lose it's liveliness.

He's still a child. - Me? A child? I'll certainly go.

He'll leave tomorrow morning at 5.

Give it to my husband. - Okay.

Give it to my husband. - Sweets?

Okay mom. - Live long, son.

Live long.

These sweets are for my brother.

And here is the picture. I'll send both, to my brothers today.

My elder brother is 50 miles away from here.

'I've written many letters, but I haven't received any response.'

'Everybody mocks at me. They bet on me.'

'Write something. I'm cursing you for no reason.'

'Maybe I'll receive your letter by next post.'

'I'll tell everybody then.'

Come with me. Write later.

Hurry up!

Did you receive the letter? Please, tell me.

Stop teasing him.

Get me water!

Hey you!

You'll receive the letter by tomorrow.

Be careful! - I'm careful.

Post man!

Come quickly!

Look how Ram Singh is running! Will he receive the letter today?

He hasn't received the letter in 6 weeks.

Today he surely will. - I say, he won't!

And I say, he will. - Okay, let's bet on it for Rs. 5.

Okay. Today I have to extract Rs. 5 from you!

Let's see.

Pyare Lal! Thakur Ram!

Sir.

Rudra Sen!

That's a lot. - Ghanshyam!

Bhagwana Ram!

Mangal Ram! - Bhole!

"I left my lover's lanes thinking,"

"she'll stop me and convince me from not going."

"Her veil was flying in the air,"

"I thought she'll wrap me in her veil."

"I marched ahead thinking that,"

"she'd call out to me and ask me to stay back."

"Neither did she stop me, nor convince me,"

"nor wrapped me in her veil."

"She neither called out, nor asked to stay back,"

"I kept marching slowly."

"And now I've been separated from her."

"And now I've been separated from her."

"I've been separated from her."

"I've been separated from her."

It's sad, nobody writes him letters.

He's waiting only one letter which he'll never receive.

Anyway, I've won the bet.

Don't you have any shame? Don't you realise his condition?

You're only bothered about gambling.

On the 1st of every month he starts to bet and extort money.

Yes and then lends the same money on loan.

Every soldier is his debtor. He has gotten on to my nerves!

Anyway, that poor fellow should definitely receive the letter.

I'm so lucky. I've received my son's picture by post.

What a lovely child! - He must've grown up. It's an old picture.

Youngest brother has joined the military too.

Are both the brothers in the military?

The third one as well.

Somewhere around Ladakh near Damchowk.

'He's 80 miles away.'

Hurry up! Postman!

Ram Singh!

Hari Prasad!

Ghulam Muhammad!

'I miss you.'

I've asked my wife so many times to send love letters in an envelope.

She's again sent a postcard! The postman must've surely read it.

'I'm weaving a sweater for you.'

'Chartu Ram'... Must be by my wife.

Let's see what she's written.

'Dearest Chartu Ram.'

Parvati you embarrass me!

'One shouldn't take up a job, he's unable to perform.'

'Why did you become a cook?'

'I'm sending a recipe for grilled chicken for the officers.

My wife, you're great!

Ravinder Singh! Wife has sent the recipe for grilled 'kitchen'!

I'll prepare 'kitchen', sorry chicken for you today.

Look!

Who'll get an oven in the camp? Let me read the letter.

Ram Swaroop! Look!

I don't want your chicken. I've got sweets from home!

Sweets!

Here are the sweets.

We got sweets! - Sweets!

Have patience! Catch your breath.

I don't want to wait to breathe. We'll breathe while eating.

"Sweets! Wonderful, delicious sweets!"

What are you doing? Wait.

Wait. - Open it.

Veer Singh, they've sent mud instead of sweets!

Make me shut up!

I'll use this mud to scrub pots!

Ram Swaroop, what happened?

Mud?

Let me read out the letter to you.

'I've heard the place where you're posted, has no vegetation.'

'I'm sending the soil from the garden you nurtured,'

'also the seeds of your favourite flower.'

'Remember me when the flowers bloom.'

Amazing!

'You'd written'

'that you always picture me as a bride.'

'When you come home you'll once again find me dressed as a bride.'

'But don't repeat what you did 3 days after our marriage!'

What if I leave tomorrow?

Please, not now!

Is everything all right? - Yes, sir.

Okay.

I received a letter from mother. She's strange.

First she made me join the military,

now she wants me to take leave for my engagement.

Everybody's leaves have been cancelled.

'Chinese and Indians are brothers!'

'Chinese and Indians are brothers!'

They've started again!

Day or night, it makes no difference!

It's a nuisance!

What's going on? Sometimes the Chinese set their camps here.

Sometimes we set our camps there.

We plan moves like chess pawns!

It's as simple as that.

We claim it's our land, they claim it's theirs.

That's it. - That's it.

If it's our land, why do they claim it to be theirs?

Anyway, it's a deserted land.

So what? It's our country.

If it's our country, where's the border?

You mean we've captured their land!

If both of us are here, who does the land belong to?

May I ask a question?

Be at ease.

Have you ever heard India attacking other nations?

No sir.

Greats like Alexander, Taimur and Changez Khan,

were never born in our history.

Did Indian army ever capture a foreign land?

Hence today, will we break our age old tradition,

and capture a foreign deserted land?

When our troops were sent to Congo and Korea,

our ministers asked us to maintain peace and pride of our country.

This is what our ministers say.

But the people,

who preach brotherhood all the time, what do their ministers say?

This is a book written by their minister.

In which he says,

'the one who disagrees with us is not our friend.'

'And who isn't our friend is our enemy.'

'The Chinese Red army will kill the enemies.'

We don't consider anyone our feud, they don't consider anyone friends!

We favoured them every where we went

and they were slowly and quietly encroaching our land!

The Chinese army wants to capture entire Asia.

They want to disrupt world peace!

These chess pawns,

who're inching forward are extremely skilful.

It's our responsibility,

to defeat them!

We've been ordered not to open fire.

So we won't.

But we can't forget the fact

that the Chinese have ill motives!

They're standing on our land!

And they're asking us to leave!

Attention guard!

Attention guard!

Hello! Alpha bravo Charlie 1, answer my signal.

Send the message. We won't fire until they do.

Yes, sir!

Over head quarters! Hurry!

Roger out.

Sir, the message is that we're should not open fire until they do.

Okay.

Bravo my soldiers! There's no need to panic.

No firing without orders, understood?

We're 25. They're no less than 300.

Let them get 300 more.

Hello?

They have ill motives. - Their luck is ill as well.

We won't give them a chance to commence war by firing first.

No firing.

We've to kill 20 at one shot!

What is 20? Let the war begin at least!

Hello! They're only 50 feet away.

No firing.

No firing!

I'll kill this one. - Which one?

That scoundrel.

All of them are the same.

What is happening?

Neither do they scoot, nor fight, nor die!

Should I kill him? - Shut up!

We won't commence the firing! Understood?

Yes, sir!

Hello! 25 feet!

No firing.

No firing!

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

Really?

I never knew that!

This is our land! You scoot from here!

We've set camps here. Your men shouldn't come here.

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

Very good!

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

Camp won't be vacated. We're here to safe-guard our frontiers.

We're not here to wage war, but the camp won't be vacated.

Do whatever you feel is right. Out.

Send a message to the four head-quarters.

Write it down. - Yes, sir!

Chinese commander has told our commander,

that our soldiers can leave the camp, but won't get back in.

But we aren't vacating our camp.

Due to besiegement, food is being sent by a helicopter.

Ladakhi civilians are being given rifle training.

Ready!

Unload!

Target is in front.

Rest, fire!

What is it Ram Swaroop?

Sir, I want to present the first flower to you.

It's so beautiful!

Although, it hasn't bloomed completely.

But it's still a flower.

Ram Swaroop? - Sir!

Your wife had sent those seeds with so much love.

Sir! - You should keep the first flower.

Sir!

Anyway, thanks a lot.

The position at the moment is,

the Chinese and the Indian governments are negotiating.

The besiegement may not last too long.

But we have to be careful.

So five of you will accompany me

to camp number 2.

More soldiers will be sent there,

so that this camp can be helped in case the Chinese play a trick.

Yes, sir.

You'll be the commander in my absence. - Yes, sir.

Be careful in case of trouble.

Don't worry sir. Our 1 soldier is equal to their 20.

I know!

I'll possibly get back in a few days.

We'll celebrate the Diwali festival together.

Good luck! - Thank you, sir.

See you!

We're here at the moment. We took this route.

This is the Chinese camp ahead of which they've besieged us.

Captain Bahadur Singh is here.

You've to give him the message,

to take this route and encamp behind the Chinese.

So that our besieged soldiers can be relieved.

You be there. We'll send more soldiers on getting an opportunity.

Yes sir. - Okay? Any questions?

No sir. - Go.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Hello! Alpha bravo Charlie 1.

The direction from where slogans of brotherhood were once heard,

is now resounding in bomb blasts!

One can't spot the enemies, sir!

Nain Singh, I regret that I'm not present there.

It's my bad luck!

Don't worry, sir! Every soldier is positioned.

Very good! I'll speak to you again. Over!

Get me to head quarters. Quick, Tiger!

Enemy is attacking many camps simultaneously.

Hence, It's impossible to send help from one camp to another.

Fight the enemy as far as possible.

And if leaving the camp becomes necessary, join the next one. Over!

Hello! Nain Singh! What's the position?

Sir, surroundings are hazy due to smoke and dust.

Wait! I can see something, sir!

Chinese soldiers are heading forward.

It's an assault, sir!

They're coming from the other direction as well.

They're coming from all directions!

They aren't less than a 1000! - More than 1000!

Nain Singh, leave the camp now! Over!

Impossible! I'd told you our 1 soldier equals their 20!

We'll fulfil our promise, sir!

Nain Singh, leave the camp now!

Sir, we won't be able to meet on Diwali after all.

Wish everybody on my behalf.

Nain Singh! Hello?

Nain Singh!

Yes, sir.

Take this to captain Bahadur. Hurry!

Immediately! - Yes, sir.

They're coming down the hill.

Each one will have to face 20.

20 it is!

Go ahead then!

Fire!

Hail India!

Fire!

Who is it? - Hail India sir!

Hail India!

There's a message from the C.O.

But what happened to you? - I was shot on the way.

Shot? - Yes. The war has begun.

C.O. has called us to camp 5 immediately!

They're coming out in hundreds!

They're coming to get a bashing from you!

They're coming to get butchered!

They're coming here to get killed.

Fire!

Fire!

Okay.

Vacate the camp!

They're coming from all directions.

Vacate the camp!

Let's go.

I'll kill them! - Leave it. We've received orders.

I want to kill one. - We've received orders! Move it!

Let's go.

I told you, you'll be slaughtered!

It's you who has been slaughtered!

The battlefield is covered with the corpses of your army.

Solam, wait. I'll just come.

This is the only route and the right time to escape!

If not now, it'll be never.

Follow me carefully, one after the other.

Stop!

You fool! - Sir!

The war plan of the enemies is that it first bombards us,

followed by besiegement and lethal attack.

Shall we go?

They've started here as well. It's camp 3's turn.

It won't be advisable to fight them here,

we'll surrender this camp.

We'll meet them here.

Watch the game unfold!

Has Bahadur come yet? - No.

Bahadur hasn't reached yet? - No, sir.

I'm worried about him.

You've killed many. Let me kill him.

So what were you saying? Chinese and Indians are brothers?

Yes, Tiger speaking. Bravo!

Happy victory!

Thank you, sir!

But I can't permit you to stay there.

Sir, our one soldier is equal to their 20.

This has been proved.

Permit us to counter-attack, to take camp 1 back.

I have full faith, sir!

I've got the news that the enemy is encroaching from all directions.

Sir,

I'm waiting for Captain Bahadur.

I'd sent him the message to meet me here.

He must be on his away.

Bahadur hasn't reached yet and hasn't even sent a message?

Tiger! Wait Tiger!

A news was just delivered by the plane.

Tiger, I've just received news,

that the enemy is encroaching from all directions.

They're more than 2000 in number. Leave immediately!

Sir, Bahadur has only 2-4 soldiers.

I can't let him fall prey to the enemy.

We can't risk several lives for one.

Leave now or you all will be doomed!

There's only one escape route left.

And that's behind the hill. You know about it.

Leave now! It's my order. Out!

Behind the hill is a sewage. Now what?

How can I leave Bahadur?

I can crush the enemy!

I need men, guns and bullets!

Why am I being pushed out of here?

Are you all right? - I am, but he isn't.

I'll give you a chance to win the bet.

Tell me, has the bullet hit me or not?

You'll lose, my friend! - You be the winner, my brother!

Okay, you haven't been shot. Give me Rs. 20.

How long should we walk?

Till where should we walk?

We've been walking like mere corpses!

We are strayed!

Every one is lost.

Every one has lost his senses!

Nobody talks! Nobody says anything!

Nobody answers!

I say, someone answer me!

First this isolation, then the pitch black night!

The companions are as good as not!

Veer Singh, you're tired. Take rest.

Everyone is hungry and thirsty for 3 days.

You're not the only one.

Did I feed you with food so that you tire out within 2 days?

Who cares about hunger and thirst?

I ask you all, why are we running away like cowards?

We are dying anyway, why not in the war then?

Tell me Hukam Singh, is this death better or that?

There you go, no one has an answer!

Come back to your senses, Veer Singh!

Sir!

You are an Indian soldier. - Sir!

I'm an Indian soldier and from the fighter caste.

My father was in the military.

How will I face them when I return home?

What will I say when he asks me,

why I returned defeated and alive?

How will Hukam Singh face his father?

What will he say to his fearless father? That he's a coward?

I'm not ready yet to hear the word 'coward' from your mouth!

Who says that you're a coward?

Ask your heart before asking me!

If you don't want to ask then let me!

Did you fight with cowardice? - No!

Didn't each of our soldiers die after killing 50 of them? - Sir.

Isn't it true that our hands turned numb firing, but we didn't stop?

Not even when we ran out of bullets!

Yes.

The enemy's troop kept dying and coming in large numbers.

You're right.

The enemy's biggest strength was,

that 1000 of them would attack just 30 of us.

You're right.

It means their biggest strength was their large numbers. - Sir!

So shouldn't we try and weaken this strength of the enemy?

Right.

Hence, it's the duty of each one of us to kill 20

and protect oneself so that he may kill 20 more!

Yes.

It wouldn't be wise to fight the enemy when we run out of bullets.

You're all experienced soldiers.

You understand the enemy's war tactics. The country needs you.

It's not cowardice to protect one self while killing the enemy.

None of you fled from the battle field.

The war hasn't ended yet, my friends! It has just begun.

We have to increase our power and oust the last enemy!

We're here! You're looking for us!

We are here!

We are here!

Neither do they hear nor see us. Has your wireless been repaired?

No sir. We can hear them. But they can't.

It's possible, they're looking for us.

I can hear something.

'Major Ranjeet Singh and his troop has gone missing.'

'Their wireless is out of order.'

'They were ordered'

'to leave their camp.'

'But it seems they didn't obey the order.'

'The enemy had surrounded them.'

'Hence,'

'it was impossible for them to escape.'

'It seems, they all got killed in the war.'

What nonsense! Repair it!

Tell them that we obeyed the orders.

I'd said that the route was unsafe. We would've thrashed the enemy!

We are still safe and sound. Each soldier is willing to die!

Ask them to tell us... Oh god!

They think that we're dead and buried alive in the mountains.

Nobody will bother to look for us!

News will be sent to their families saying that... No!

"Being helpless,"

"she must've forgotten me."

"Being helpless,"

"she must've forgotten me."

"She must've had poison, thinking it to be the cure."

"Being helpless, she must've forgotten me."

"Being helpless..."

"Her heart must've recalled memories,"

"Her heart must've recalled memories,"

"that must've made tears run down her cheeks."

"She must've burnt my letters in a closed room."

"Each of those letters must've come out alive."

"Being helpless, she must've forgotten me."

"She must be trying hard not to look at people in their eyes."

"She must be trying hard not to look at people in their eyes."

"She must've seen her love-life crumbling."

"She must've had poison, thinking it was the cure."

"Being helpless..."

Leave me and go.

Go.

Understood?

No.

Go. - No.

You should go.

"Neither did she stop me nor convince me,"

"nor tugged at my suit and made me sit."

"She neither called out, nor asked me to stay behind,"

"I kept marching slowly."

"And now I've been separated from her."

"I've been separated from her."

Sir, all the soldiers are completely exhausted.

They can't walk further.

I know. Rest for a while.

Their condition is such that... - Look over there!

Did you see that?

That path will surely lead to a civilisation.

This is the last march uphill. - Sir, soldiers have given up.

Soldiers never give up.

They aren't willing to take even one step ahead.

It's a body after all. How far can we rely on it?

Don't talk no more, my friend.

Listen up!

This is our last venture.

We've come across several last ventures.

Everyday we face a new 'last venture'.

Shoot us so that we get rid of it.

Are you soldiers or corpses?

It would've been better to be a corpse!

You're right.

At least I wouldn't get to hear such obscenity!

I'm ashamed to be your commander!

If the enemy challenges you right now, what would you do?

Would you welcome them and say take our lives?

Wouldn't you take their lives instead?

Who says we wouldn't? - We will fight!

Till our last breath.

You're ready to face the enemy but are unwilling to stay alive,

for your relatives, friends, family, regiment,

army or your country?

We're as good as dead for them.

Listen.

Diwali festival is round the corner.

I don't know when exactly.

I've lost track of days and dates.

But it's surely round the corner.

Think about it this way,

when they find that you're alive after fighting hard in a battle,

they'll be ecstatic!

They'll light lamps to welcome you!

I'm elder to all of you.

Hence,

at the moment I'm not your officer but an elder brother.

My feet are as wounded like yours.

But I'm still going on that stony path.

And I want to tell you all,

that body doesn't surrender until will-power does!

Get up! Have some shame!

Sir! - Hello!

Hello.

Anmo!

What is it? - Some injured soldiers have come.

We should help them! I'll make arrangements!

I'll seek further information.

Maybe Capt. Bahadur Singh is amongst them.

Julay!

Julay! - No, don't get up!

I'm okay.

How come you're here? - We have a house in Forbrang as well.

Don't you remember? I told you in the jeep.

But how did you come here at this hour?

We got to know about the injured soldiers and...

We thought Capt. Bahadur Singh is also here.

He was with you, right?

Bahadur Singh!

Nain Singh?

What's wrong? Please tell me.

This man comes from the same area.

Tell her, Nain Singh.

Captain had only 5 soldiers,

And the enemy had surrounded them on all sides.

The enemy had captured their camp.

There was no hope of his survival.

Bahadur is dead.

That's a lie! Nobody can kill Bahadur!

You dare not repeat it! Major is also lying!

It's 'Sir Major', Solam!

He's lying!

Why did he have to speak like that? - Solam!

This can't be for real!

Enough, Solam!

Major is lying! - It's 'Sir Major', Solam!

Okay fine, 'Sir Major' is lying!

Nothing can happen to Bahadur.

I know. Nothing has happened to him.

You go home. I'll come in a little while.

That Major is a liar!

'Anmo, I'll take you to my town.'

'I'll give you beautiful clothes and jewellery.'

'Will you put them on?' - 'Yes.'

'I'll introduce you to my mother. She's very good.'

'Will you meet her? - Yes.'

"His lovely face is set in my eyes."

"I can feel sparks in my nerves."

"The breeze after touching whose robe, has touched my body?"

"I wonder if it's him."

"I wonder if it's him."

"Whenever I hear a faint noise,"

"my heart wonders if it's him."

"I wonder if it's him."

How will I inform Brigadier?

How will I tell him?

Nain Singh, go to camp 3 in Forbrang. It's vacant.

I'll send more soldiers as soon as possible.

But you won't have wireless. Be careful. - Sir!

Hello! Himalaya India1!

Sir, there's a message.

What is it? - It's about Captain Bahadur Singh.

Tell me. - He was killed in the war!

Sir? - I heard that.

Sir.

Today is Diwali festival, right? - Yes sir!

What an amazing gift I've received!

Sir, you were going to speak to the soldiers on Diwali.

Should I send a message that... - I...

I'll definitely say something to them.

You may go now.

"This year Diwali has brought,"

"a series of bloodshed."

"How can we light a lamp,"

"when there's utter darkness every where?"

"Children crave for crackers"

"and walls crave for lamps."

"When a mother's lap is vacant,"

"how can one decorate the courtyard of the house?"

"Go and light up the path of those,"

"whose lives are full of darkness."

"Because of whom,"

"the nights were shimmering bright."

"Hearts used to talk,"

"secretively with each other."

"He left us with a room full of darkness,"

"taking away the light of happiness with him."

"The eyes shed tears continuously."

"The empty dishes long to serve you."

"These tears in the eyes teach us a lot of things."

"There's war and bloodshed over the mountain."

"This year Diwali has brought,"

"a series of bloodshed."

"How can one light a lamp when,"

"there's utter darkness every where?"

'Happy Diwali brave soldiers!'

'Congratulations on the bravery!'

Congratulations on the sufferings, wounds, traumas.

This year's Diwali has neither been heard nor seen,

nor even imagined before.

This is a black Diwali.

It shouts out loud,

to pray before the goddess of strength and not of wealth.

'Only then the brightness of this festival will be restored.'

'Lamps will be lighted in every home,'

but on one condition, that you sacrifice your life.

A life sacrificed never goes futile!

Enemy has attacked in disguise of a friend.

'We had welcomed them as guests'

'in our country!'

'We praised them everywhere they went!'

'We respected them in every town, city and in every gathering.'

'Every leader and artist cheered upon their arrival.'

'We were happy to seem them offer flowers,'

'on the tomb of a messenger of peace.'

'We gave him so much respect,'

'that we made our soldiers receive awards by his hands.'

'And today he has sent his army to kill the same soldiers!'

It was our friend who did it.

Hence, we were shocked.

But now we've recovered.

If our friend turned enemy have challenged us,

then we accept their challenge.

'We won't let the enemy rest in peace!'

Our country is a country of Buddha, Ashoka, Gandhi and Nehru.

We're worshippers of peace, but not of cowardice.

If our friends have become enemies,

then we treat them as enemies!

Hail India!

Bahadur was lucky to have died in the war and attained heaven.

If he'd remained alive he would get a girl like you,

which again would've been heaven.

You must be missing your wife.

Whose wife? - Why?

I'm single.

By choice or otherwise?

It couldn't take place.

Reason?

Reason...

You're meeting me after a long time.

You called me now.

I went to your house last week.

You weren't there.

I spoke to your mom. - Mother really likes you.

What about you?

You never asked me this question before.

It was in my mind. But I didn't have the guts to say it.

I've brought something for you. - What is it?

Please tell me! - Close your eyes first.

Give me your hand.

No, the other one.

What a beautiful ring! Who gave it?

Major Pratap Singh. - Oh I see! Congratulations!

All the best! When did you meet Pratap?

One month back.

What was it that you were giving me?

Nothing.

Forget it.

But I'd never imagined that you loved me so much.

It happens sometimes.

I'd brought something else as well.

Beautiful!

Like it? - Yes!

Can I wear it? - Please.

When are you going to meet Pratap? - Right now. He's coming here.

Excuse me. I'll be back.

They suit you. Beautiful!

Lovely earrings. Who gave them?

Tell me fast or I'll burn with jealousy. - Go ahead, burn!

I wonder why I carry this ring all the time?

It's my bad luck!

Show me? - You keep it.

What will I do with it? - What will I do keeping it with me?

It's lovely!

Please take it, Anmo.

Rather please accept it. - No ways, Sir Major!

Anmo,

We both are heart broken.

We can help each other out by staying together.

Sir Major, I don't want to hurt your feelings.

That's why I can't refuse.

But I request you to take your ring back.

I can't forget him.

This ominous ring has been rejected twice.

Sister in law...

He's our soldier. - Sir!

His condition is similar to ours.

What's your name?

Sir, you? Sir Bahadur Singh?

Yes, that's right! I'm talking about Capt. Bahadur Singh.

He's alive!

Sir, news is that Captain Bahadur Singh is alive.

Hello! Tiger here. Over.

Hearty congratulations, sir!

Thank you!

I'm sorry I gave you the wrong news.

Bahadur has safely reached Forbrang camp 3.

Very good news, sir!

Yes, sir!

Is he injured?

No, but he needs rest.

The soldier from the camp just gave the news.

Didn't I say, nobody can kill Bahadur?

Let him rest there.

Sir, there's a news from the aeroplane.

You may go.

Hello! Alpha bravo Charlie 1. Message for you. Over!

Didn't I say, Sir Major is lying!

Why were you crying then? - You too were crying.

Hello! Alpha bravo Charlie 2. Okay, over!

Sir!

We've just received the news that your camp is at risk.

Around 200 enemies will attack you within a few hours.

All your soldiers are injured.

Sir! - You'll have to resist the enemy till dawn.

So that you and your men can be rescued by helicopter.

Sir!

The enemy is heading in the direction of camp 3.

Hence, the soldiers based there should do the needful.

Sir, Captain Bahadur and one soldier are based there.

Inform Bahadur. - 2 men can't stop 200.

They'll have to, else you and your soldiers will be killed.

The enemy can be resisted from the mountain facing camp 3.

Sir, Bahadur has just escaped death.

I know. - You're sending him back?

You're right.

Sir! Bahadur is my friend and your son.

We all are ready to give away our lives. Permit me to call him here.

We'll confront the enemy here.

Major, you're wasting your time.

Bahadur will go on duty.

That's an order!

Obey it! Over!

Sir!

Nain Singh! - Sir!

Take this letter to Captain Bahadur Singh.

Can we go too? - No.

Why not?

I will go! - You shut up!

Who are you? - Captain Bahadur Singh's friends.

Do me a favour. - Yes.

Give this letter to him. - Where?

Behind that mountain, by tonight itself.

Hurry up! Be careful!

It's risky if we both go. You take the letter.

Should I go alone? - Yes.

What did Bahadur train you for? Prove your worth.

What about you? - I'll stay here to distract the enemy from you.

Go crawling on your knees.

Go crawling!

You try to shoot a woman? Shameless!

Hey!

You're Ladakhi. I'm Chinese.

Chinese and Indians are brothers!

You'll work for us.

Go to your village and tell them, the Chinese are very good.

I'll give you Rs. 500 as reward.

You give us information

about the Indian army.

We'll give you Rs. 500 more. Will you?

You won't speak?

Will you speak?

Or won't you?

Mom.

Mom.

Solam!

Why did you come here?

Solam!

Ranvir, we've received the order, every soldier awaits.

Take the rifle and the bullets and get ready!

You won't speak, will you?

You won't relent, will you?

You won't relent, will you?

(Speaking Chinese)

Solam, you can go home now.

No, I won't. - Why not?

Go Solam.

You should obey elders. You aren't needed here.

No, I won't go. - You will go!

No way!

You still won't? - No!

Do you want to die here?

Why did you give me this medal?

You'd said that it'll be snatched if I prove to be a coward.

Do you want me to be a coward?

I know how to use a rifle!

You're brave but you have to look after your sister.

She herself has sent me. Even she's brave.

She was coming with me but we met the Chinese on the way.

You left her alone!

Who would've brought the letter then?

Where is she? - Behind the mountain.

Why did you leave her alone?

Sir!

Bullets are over. Get some more from the bunker.

What happened?

Nothing, I'm fine. Carry on shooting.

Ranveer!

Oh god!

There are no bullets.

What should I do now?

He fooled me!
