Operation Valentine (2024) Movie Script
Sparrow come in.
Sparrow, do you copy?
Copy that.
Get me the coordinates.
- Vector to 1 8 0.
- Copy that.
Sparrow, Vector to 1 8 0.
Confirm Joy.
What sector is this?
Mansehra, sir.
We are tracking the movements
of the Pakistani Air Force.
They are flying in a cover pattern
from 3555 to 7324.
When observed closely, we found out that
they were giving protection to this convoy.
This doesnt make any sense.
Pakistani army shouldn't be here in the first place
Can I say something?
Do you see these trucks?
Pakistani Armed Forces had already
decommissioned them 5 years ago.
which means?
I mean, that is not the Pakistani Army
but they have full support from the army.
And, Air Force support as well
Even a battalion doesn't have has this armament.
Share this report with the Intelligence immediately.
We need eyes on the other side.
Sir!
We asked you for some rose petals,
but you have brought the whole garden for us.
This is nothing.
Never mind this.
The celebration we are planning
would surely require an entire garden.
- Are the boys ready?
- They are inside.
These are our warriors.
Ahad will supply the flowers to the Jawans.
Basheer will pass it on to Mr. Nehru.
Very good.
Sir, take your tea.
You three are leaving for Kashmir at dawn.
Make sure we leave no loose ends.
The lion is closely watching us.
If the Lion itself has come out to hunt,
that means something massive has been planned.
If it was a minuscule task, they wouldnt supply
this much armory and spend this much amount.
Its time to rip off Indias head.
Aahna, your new orders.
DRDO and HAL have developed new weapons which
can self-navigate, and destroy the target.
We dont require additional targeting aircrafts.
They have planned a mission in
Kashmir to test them.
You would be leading the mission from the ground,
from your home base Gwalior.
Sir!
The lead pilot of this mission would be
Wing Commander Arjun Dev.
Sir, Arjun?
Yes. Any problem?
No sir.
I know it's difficult to control some pilots.
It can be a nightmare.
But I know you can do it.
Coming to Arjun, this test is to know
his capabilities too.
- Good morning sir.
- Dhruv...
Aahna, I want you to meet Dhruv
from Hindustan Aeronautics
- Hello, maam.
- we already met sir.
He was the Chief Engineer for Project Vajra.
Alright then. I will leave you to it.
Dhruv will brief you further. Okay?
Let's go.
- Thank you, Dhruv.
- Thank you, sir.
Maam, you can find full details
of the weapons in this file.
Please have a look
Maam
Maam
You would meet Arjun sir in Gwalior, right?
Can you do me a favour?
Tell me.
Can you give this file to him?
What's in this?
The project is halted anyway but I did some
analysis based on the data I could gather.
It would be good if Arjun Sir
could take a look at this.
Project is halted for a reason.
Then why are you both still held to that project?
Its not us both ma'm,
Arjun sir doesnt know that
I have been working on this project.
I dont know why he stopped talking about
this project since he has gone to Gwalior.
Completely mute.
Sensors readings are faulty
Rudra, caution is advised.
What do you think?
Should we go ahead?
If there's anyone who can do this, it's you.
I trust you.
Go for it.
Copy that.
Rudra to Eva.
Commencing Project Vajra.
20 metres is too risky.
Caution is advised.
Come what may
Let's face it.
100 meters and going down.
60 meters.
50 meters.
Trajectory stable.
Rudra, almost there.
Shit..Shit.. Shit..
Shit..Shit..
eject..eject..eject..
The service ceiling of a Mirage 2000 is 59000 ft.
But how we know it?
There must be one who took that plane to it's height
Until its engines doesn't turn off.
There might be one,
Who tests the limits of the plane until its frame bends.
Every new plane, every new equipment
who tests in any condition.
So that we as fighter pilots
can be safe in our cockpits.
We call them the test pilots of the Indian Air Force.
I present to you Wing Commander Arjun Dev.
Stay away from the plane, sir.
You do something crazy every time you fly.
Who allowed you in?
This area is for pilots only.
Then what are you doing here?
Guys, this is your time to mock at me,
But once I get back into the cockpit again
no one dares to speak a word.
Oh! Is it sir!
I got away from Gwalior to get rid of you
but you came here too?
You are our gang leader sir.
Wherever you go we three will be with you.
Three of them?
Who's the third one?
It's Yash sir.
He's been doing sorties since 4 a.m.
There he is sir.
He is coming towards the approach.
when the approach is here,
where is he going?
Anvil, you are cleared to land.
control, this is Anvil.
Hydraulics have failed.
I've lost control of the aircraft.
Emergency services on the way.
Get back.
Everyone, step aside, move back.
Move back!
Everybody, move back.
Move!
Control.. I repeat, this is Anvil.
Hydraulics have failed.
I've lost control of the aircraft.
Air commodore Mahtre here.
What?
No..No..No..
Arjun, sir.
Move I said...
Everyone, come back.
Come back! that's an order.
Hey,
Sir!
Quick...
Fast, fast... everybody fast.
Are you fine?
Any pain?
Can you move your hands?
Yeah, I can.
What?
Would you tell me what happened?
Hydraulics failed just before landing.
I tried to control it also..
But I couldn't.
What?
Charlie, you can't handle a girl nor
can you land a plane.
Thanks for saving my life, sir.
Remember the score.
Arjun 1 - Yash 0
I would soon level it, sir.
Moreover, you are an expert in
providing such opportunities.
You are a specialist in those things.
Hi.
Sister in-law.
You would feel good now.
Well go to the hospital, sir.
You must be heart specialist.
Hey, are you fine?
It's okay. It's nothing.
Sir, AOC has called for you.
Has he?
Yes sir.
You go. I'll join.
Let's go.
Wing commander, Arjun Dev.
This is my first day in this air base
and I would have lost 4 of my pilots
on the very same day.
Not the welcome I was expecting.
Sorry for the trouble, sir.
Are you?
Never in my service have I seen
so many red flags in somebody's file.
How are you still allowed to fly?
I'm still not flying, sir.
I'm recovering.
Recovering from what?
Project Vajra. Sir!
So, you are the legend you survived?
Right?
Was Project Vajra your idea?
My Co-pilot's and mine.
Great.
Great.
It was a good idea to fly so close to the land that
you are undetected by any radars and missiles.
Sir!
it's dumbest idea, I've ever heard.
If you are flying at 50 metres height,
how can one not expect an accident?
sir, actually I was flying at 20 meters.
It's a miracle that you are still alive.
I have survived much worse, sir.
But your co-pilot Kabir did not!
I cannot tolerate insubordination.
Clear your evaluation test
and join the combat again.
And Arjun, enough of your suicidal missions.
- Dismiss
- Sir.
Assalam Walaikum Aunty.
Walaikum Assalam, dear.
Rafakat Rafakat
Forgive us. We made a mistake.
Shes a child,
cute kid.
It takes five years
for a cadet to be a fighter pilot.
And for a missile to destroy the cadet,
it takes only five seconds.
Primary weapons of Pakistan Airforce,
their long-range missiles.
Their missiles have a speciality.
They have never missed a target.
Any mission against Pakistan,
this is your biggest challenge,
remember that.
What would you do
if the missiles chased you? Anybody?
Sir, what if you let
the missile come closer,
and dodge it at the last moment?
Where have you learnt that?
Sir, I've seen it in the movies.
It takes a turn in the nick of time and...
Wow, brilliant.
We need such superheroes
for our Air Force.
If your speed is mach 1,
missile's speed will be mach 4.
That's 4 times your speed.
While turning the missile
can load around 50 Gs.
And pilots can only till 9Gs.
Unlike missiles,
human body has limitations.
Wherever you maybe in the open sky,
it will find you and it will shoot you down.
You can just outsmart it,
using flares and chaffes.
But what if we are not present
in the open sky.
Pardon me...
Instead of the open sky,
what if we,
fly at lower altitude?
Modern radars have the capacity
to be visible for 50 meters.
What if we fly lower than that,
at 20 meters?
No radar or missile will be able
to track us in the clutter.
This is not possible.
We had tried earlier.
But that day, Indian Air Force,
lost one of its decorated pilots.
And we almost lost another one.
How was your flight, ma'am?
I should be asking that question to you.
I'm glad to see you in one piece.
It was a minor crash.
Minor crash?
Ma'am, such incidents are common
in Air Warrior's lives.
We face risks almost every day.
Oh, maybe that's why you are on
the ground handling all the paperwork.
I'm done with the paper work.
tomorrow I have a mission
and i'll get my wings back.
By the way, Do you know
who is assessing you?
Why do i care?
there is no one who can face me
not only in the air but on land too.
Alright.
i will mention the same thing
When i fail you.
What?
it's fine stop here.
If you want your wings back, watch out.
I am 78% sure, that was not for me.
Now I'm 100% sure.
(Singing Telugu Song)
How dare you enter my room!
When I see you in this uniform
How can I resist myself.
Welcome home.
Confirm Joy.
Tell me.
Nothing, I was picking a glass
in the mess and cut myself.
You are a good pilot
but not a good liar.
When will you stop your adventures Arjun?
Are you not scared?
Why should I be?
As long as you are on the radar.
What will happen to me?
But I got scared once,
That day when Hitler came home early.
Hey, did you call my dad Hitler?
He is your father-in-law.
Trust me. If he Had seen you in my shirt,
his BP would have skyrocketed.
He would have court-marshalled you.
And beat you into pieces.
"In the canvas of your love, I soar in the skies.
Will stay afloat like this for many more births."
"All my worldly ties dissolved,
the moment I laid my eyes on you."
"Threads of moonlight, a yearning gaze,
your eyes, an unquenchable stream."
"You made my soul a temple by entwining with me,
Oh my Goddess!"
"In the canvas of your love, I soar in the skies.
Will stay afloat like this for many more births."
"All my worldly ties dissolved,
the moment I laid my eyes on you."
"My heart always searches for your divinity
but you're a mirage, ever elusive, "
"like Radha and Krishna's eternal play."
"Shall I be your never-ending darkness? "
Shall I become the dark kohl in your eyes?
Shall I gift you all the colours of this world and become your rainbow?
Shall I take refuge on your lips?
Seasons change, but your laughter remains,
transforming into timeless images,
"I am half and you have my other half,
please complete me, Oh my beloved!"
"You made my soul a temple by entwining with me,
Oh my Goddess!"
Rudra, go up.
What is this torture!?
Who hears Gazal nowadays?
But that uncle is enjoying it.
Oye! Where are you going?
I am walking on the path of love.
Let him go, tomorrow's valentine's day.
How long will he stay single!?
One martini, please.
Shaken and stirred.
It's shaken, not stirred.
Exactly. One for the lady, please.
Squadron leader, Yash Sharma.
Tanya Sharma.
Oh... Sharma - Sharma!
Wow!
You said, you are a pilot, right?
Fighter pilot, actually.
Wow! That's fascinating.
If you want,
I can take you for a ride.
No way! That'll be fun.
Of course, it will be.
The view from a height of 35000 feet
is something else.
- Squadron leader!
- Yes.
Just coming.
See you in the skies,
Squadron leader Yash Sharma.
Don't tell this to anyone.
This will be tomorrow's
breaking news for the Base.
Welcome, sir!
Thank you for the lovely evening.
- My pleasure sir.
- Hello sir.
Arjun, my boy, good to see you.
- How are you, sir?
- Good.
By the way, meet your new AOC
Air Commodor,Mayank Mahtre.
We already met, sir.
I have also studied his file in detail.
You know Mahtre, I've not come across
such an extraordinary talent in my life,
one of my best students.
Sir!
But he was also a pain in my ass.
But now when I see him,
I can't be proud enough.
You are right, sir.
He is a pain in the ass.
Mahtre...
Sir, forget about that.
What's the purpose of your visit?
Why? Shouldn't I be here?
Tomorrow's mission is extremely crucial
in taking India forward
as a self-reliant country.
So it is your responsibility to complete
tomorrow's mission successfully.
Sir,
He will do it, sir.
He has a speciality jumping into fire.
When he jump into a burning aircraft
to save Yash...
That aircraft would've bloody exploded.
It could have killed everyone.
...this mission should be
a piece of cake for him.
Right, Arjun?
Right, sir.
The party was good, wasn't it?
Did you get hurt by a shard of glass?
Okay. I'm sorry, I lied.
Every time when I believe you are done with
your adventures.
You start all over again.
But this time was different.
What was different?
The emergency team was stationed there,
weren't they?
You suffered such
a massive accident, Arjun.
Learn to follow the protocols at least now.
But no, you won't!
Unless you jump into the fire, things won't work.
Right?
What do you mean?
Should I stand aside and watch Yash being burnt alive?
Is that why I joined the Air Force?
to see my mates die?
I know you are hurt.
I'm sorry for hiding this from you.
But my intentions were not ill-intended.
Your intentions are always
well-placed, Arjun.
But to be honest,
those good intentions actually scare me.
Sensors readings are faulty, Rudra.
Caution is advised.
We can handle it Eva.
30 metres.
Oh shit, shit, shit...
Rudra!
Aahna ma'am, there was no problem
when I last checked, I swear.
Not now, Dhruv.
Ma'am...Kabir and Arjun sir
to check the maneuver.
- Everything was alright...
- Kabir is dead, Dhruv.
Arjun is fighting for his life now.
not right now.
Take these.
If there is any problem
We shall use these to communicate.
Nothing should go wrong, okay?
- Hm.
- Take care.
This is your flight plan.
Be safe up there.
As long as you are on the radar,
What will happen to me?
"Carrying embers away"
"Challenging the storms"
"Even deceiving death"
"We will not accept defeat today"
Flight checklist complete.
Starting engines now.
Tower, Rudra formation.
ready for taxi.
Roger, we are taxying via zulu,
to runway 6 left.
Handing over flight to control centre.
Rudra formation, clear for takeoff.
Winds are currently 280 degrees
at 10 knots,
Roger.
Tower, Rudra formation.
Lined up on runway 06L.
ready for takeoff.
Time of commencement of test 0700 hrs.
Your target is in Kashmir bearing
coordinates are 3630, 7241 at 12000 feet.
There the weather bad, so expect low visibility.
Use the navigation system
to navigate amongst the hill,
to destroy the target.
You are clear to engage
and verify all weapon systems.
Code accepted.
Rockets, online.
Navigation systems, online.
The weather is not
as problematic as expected.
Eva, we have a situation.
We have heavy clouds in front of us.
What's the visibility?
No clear line of sight.
Flight visibility, zero zero.
This is too dangerous.
The possibility of crashing into
mountains is too high.
We have to abort the mission now.
You can abort the mission, Rudra.
We can conduct the test later.
This weapon systems are built
for such conditions.
If it fails, you'll be flying blind.
If test pilots won't trust
our engineers,
then who else will?
Someone has to conduct the test, right?
I'll fly with the instruments.
This is what we are trained for.
Come what may, let's face it!
let's see what this thing can do.
Copy that.
Climbing above the clouds.
Time over target, 2 minutes.
I have lost visual on you.
No shit.
Rudra, what's your position?
Two clicks from target.
Arming rockets.
Shit, shit, shit, shit
Firing!
Yes!
Rudra, return to base immediately.
It s been a while.
I really miss this view...!!
Bashir, Bashir., come in Bashir!
Bashir, Bashir., come in.
Don't know, where is Basheer?
Ahad, where is Basheer?
I don t know.
I am unable to contact him.
Sir
Why did you call me?
Is there any problem?
Nothing for now.
But some vultures are hovering over us,
They might have come to safeguard Nehru.
Yes, sir.
Okay, sir.
Shaheen 1, Shaheen 1, come in.
Go ahead, tower.
Mission update.
Lock the bogies.
Bearing coordinates 3407,
7381 at altitude 12000.
Yeah, I can see them.
Locked and hold for orders.
Roger.
Follow my lead.
Roger that.
Turning right in 3... 2...1.
What the
- Control, I'm locked. I'm locked.
- someone is locking me too.
Find out where the lock is coming from, quick.
Rudra, we observe two
F16s across the LOC.
Bearing coordinates 3442, 7316.
They are targeting you.
Ma'am, F16s have changed
their headings
and are approaching the border.
This is an attack formation.
You have engaged an authorized IAF
personnel over Indian Airspace.
Turn away or you will be fired upon.
I repeat.
Turn back towards Pakistan
or we will open fire.
Barasingha 1, check the line.
Barasingha 1, stop him right away.
This is the last warning.
Turn away or we will open fire.
Turn away or we will open fire.
Rudra, come in. Rudra, Are you there?
A huge blast took place on the ground.
We are under attack.
I repeat, we are under attack.
There is a blast on the ground.
Possible aerial bombings
at coordinates 3337, 7422.
Stand by, Rudra.
I want every information
regarding the blast.
Get on it now.
Yes, ma am.
Ma am, we didn t find any bombs
coming in the radars.
What is the distance
from the blast site?
Distance
Bandits distance is 150 Km, ma am.
How can this be an aerial attack?
Eva, please confirm.
Were these fighters involved
in the blasts or not?
Stand by.
Ma'am...If we don't stop these bandits
If we fire at them now and later if they they find out
that these fighters were not involved in the blast
then it would be considered
as a declaration of War.
Eva, I m still locked.
I need permission to engage.
Rudra, stand by.
Copy sir.
Ma am, that blast was an attack
on the military convoy.
The authorities are trying
to dig out more details but nothing confirmed yet.
Rudra, do not fire.
We are not under attack.
- What?
- I repeat, we are not under attack.
We are damnit! I can see it.
It s happening right in front of me.
There is no sign, Rudra.
I am not authorising it.
Go back and secure the blast site.
Screw it. That s a negative.
I'm engaging the enemy.
Rudra, has armed the missiles.
Rudra, you are violating a direct order.
Do not fire. I repeat, do not fire.
Do not fire. I repeat, do not fire.
Stand down, Rudra.
Rudra, you are not authorized to engage.
You are in violation of a direct order.
Stand down. I repeat, stand down.
Rudra, stand down.
Turn around and secure the blast area.
Shit!
Access Rudra's live feed.
"Moon, my love"

We strictly condemn
Pakistan s terror activities.
I give assurance to all my people
that the government will take
appropriate action against them.
India is falsely accusing us.
If they dare to take
any action against us,
Pakistan will not think of retaliation,
it WILL retaliate!
Then you would be responsible
for the consequences.
This was not a standalone attack.
We don t know how many more
attacks have they planned.
If they manage
to infiltrate into Kashmir,
it would be near impossible to identify,
eliminate them.
Sir, this small victory
is enough for today.
If they find out about our intentions,
we will be in serious trouble.
What is their target, sir?
- Nehru.
- Nehru?
It's a code.
It could be anything.
PM, CM, Building, Bridge,
City, Stadium,
By the time they find out our plan,
we will have India by its neck.
This is not the time to back out.
It is the time
to play our trump card.
Everybody,
try to come up with a viable plan.
And until we don't have a concrete plan,
keep pressuring Pakistan.
Send 10 planes instead of one
to Bhawalpur.
Secure the borders so tight that they
should not even dream of crossing it.
So Wing Commander, Aahna Gill,
Would you please elaborate,
why were my two pilots went about
to attack Pakistan?
Sir, our orders were very clear,
I did not give permission to Rudra
to attack on the Pakistani fighters.
In fact, he denied my orders despite
being aware of the consequences.
But there was the presence
of enemy fighters, weren t they?
Sir, we measured the distance
and speed of the enemy fighters,
neither the blast site nor our pilots
were in their kill range.
they were not the threat.
If they were not the threat
then why the hell did you engage?
With due respect, sir,
we justify our actions
to pacify ourselves.
But you know,
that it was a coordinated attack.
Yes, they didn't engage us
but didn't they clear, the route for the terrorists?
Sir, I know some people think
my actions were rash.
but it was necessary.
What would have you done,
if you had been in my place?
Sir, I remember that you had
taught us in the academy,
that even if one of us is in danger,
we must put our lives on the line
to save him.
But a terrorist carried 100 kgs of RDX
and killed 40 of our soldiers,
shouldn't we act against that?
We know their location,
and we have the power
to eliminate them too.
This power is not take lives.
but to save them Arjun.
Did we really save them sir?
Our jawans didn't have the opportunity
to fight for their lives.
Now when we have the opportunity
to avenge them
but you tied up our hands.
To take revenge.
If vengeance is what we crave,
the world will have no country but just borders.
Even my blood boils for
my soldiers, Arjun.
But remember one thing,
this is the Indian Air Force,
you must maintain a balance between
aggression and sanity.
I have had enough.
Your squadron has probed
an enquiry on you.
But, sir
Enquiry for what?
You defied direct orders
and tried to attack a neighbouring
country during peacetime.
Go to Delhi as soon as possible
and submit your justification
to your squadron.
They will decide whether to take
action against you or not.
You are dismissed!
Somebody has had a rough time today.
It will be you.
What are you doing here?
I've been ordered to remove
the sensors of Project Vajra.
That's why I'm here.
But you haven't replied
to the file yet.
Reply for what?
Sir... the file that I had sent you.
When did you send?
Sir, we conducted
an inquiry post the accident.
We have found that the reason for
the crash was not the sensors
but the jet stabilisers.
The file has the findings
of that inquiry.
I gave the file to Aahna ma'am
and asked her to give it to you.
Since you didn't reply,
I thought you didn't want
to talk about it and ignored it, sir.
What is there in that file?
Come, I'll show you.
Sir, the sensors saved you from crashing
down while you were flying low
but the stabilisers stopped you
from going up.
So if we switch off the stabilisers...
Low flying is possible, sir.
Are you sure?
- What is the percentage to success?
- Sir, 100%...
50% sure, sir.
Can you send this report to me?
I will, sir.
I think there is some mixup sir.
- May be madam has forgotten...
- This time give it to me directly.
I don't know what you do but delay it.
We need one more chance
to test these sensors.
So, be on it.
This is sector director Ahana Gill.
Yeah, okay.
I'll be ready in half an hour.
I want to tell you something.
Arjun, are you listening to me?
I'm talking to you.
Tell me.
I have training exercises for a month.
I'm leaving for the headquarters.
wheels up in one hour.
Arjun, I understand you are angry
but please don't hate me
for doing my job.
Then why do you hate me
for doing my job?
Arjun, I swear I don't yaar. Why will I?
See from my point of view.
It's my responsibility to keep
every pilot safe, including you.
I can't handle anymore to see my husband
gambling with death almost everyday.
Thinking whether he returns
or not today or tomorrow.
i don't have a problem with your job
the problem is with
your careless attitude,
your recklessness
and above all your lies.
Lies?
Am I the only one who lies?
isn't it?
- What do you mean?
- Dhruv met me today.
He told me about the file.
So what, Arjun?
Aahna, I'm not done talking.
what's new in that file?
One design may work
and the other might not.
Someone has to test it. Right?
Who will do it?
I will.
f we crack this have you ever thought
how many lives can be saved ?
Project Vajra is very important
for the Air Force even today.
If it works out...
What if it doesn't work out?
What if it doesn't, Arjun?
Take this. Are you happy now?
Do what you feel like doing.
Aahna, listen.
What, listen?
I can't keep waiting for the day
you take off and never comes back.
Why do you think so?
Did Kabir come back?
If this continues the same way,
this will be the end of us.
Wait, bro. Why so hurry?
Where are you going?
We are ruined too because of you.
Our chief is becoming more
stubborn with each passing day.
Why?
What did he do to you?
He changed my wingman
in the last moment.
Someone named Hammer.
His call sign itself is saying he is a jerk.
I'm already tired of you. In addition he's joined.
I'm sorry, I have to tell you something.
Of late, your behaviour
has been quite disappointing.
Are you listening?
Look at me. My life philosophy is simple.
Be cool and just follow the orders which are givern
Get married and enjoy
multiple honeymoons.
What will you gain becoming
a kamikazi plane.
Did you meet that hammer guy?
I got dejected hearing his name.
Why should I meet him again?
Sir...
- We have to rendezvous at.
- Coffee?
Green Tea?
- Delhi.
- At 2300 hours.
I'll be your team lead
and you'll be my Wingman.
I'll be whatever you want me to be.
Do you hear any guitar playing?
Yeah.
Our chief is playing it.
Our chief is Such a wonderful person.
Get me those wings.
Take care.
Bandit in front, engaging now.
Sir, vector 20 degrees.
There are more boogies incoming.
It's been four days and they are still
Practicing, why?
Squadron 7 has joined them today.
Squadron 7?
They should be in Delhi, right?
What are they doing in Kashmir?
Let's do this.
What are they doing?
Control to Rudra, come in.
Control to Rudra, come in.
They are very close to Pakistan,
warn them.
Control to Rudra, you are very
close to hostile territory.
Your vector is 270.
Turn around immediately.
Control to Rudra.
Hostile territory ahead.
Turn back immediately.
Control to Rudra.
Hostile...
Jasbir whatever is happening...
Let it happen.
PM is asking for options.
Sir, we have an idea.
But you might not like it.
26th February at 300 hours,
there is going
to be a massive aerial strike
on the hidden campsite
of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Pakistan.
We have been given the responsibility of
carrying this out successfully.
From our sources,
we have received information
of 400 to 500 militants
of Jaish-e-Mohammad holding
up at Shaikdhara.
They are planning
a series of attacks on India.
Now, it's our job to neutralise them.
But it is not an easy task.
This has to be a clean operation.
To prepare for such a massive attack,
we would need thousands of personnel.
But by chance,
if this information gets leaked,
then Pakistan Army would be waiting for
our pilots from the other end.
Pakistan is keenly observing
our every movement.
We have to use this to our advantage.
Near Bhavalpur.It will prove to be a great distraction.
Pakistan will be compelled, to move out their defenses and assests.
Send ten planes to Bhavalpur,
instead of one.
And that is when we will strike.
Our fighters will take off from Gwalior
Air Base to evade Pakistan's watch.
we'll reach Kashmir via Delhi.
From there they will fly through Jhelum Valley
to avoid any detection on radars and enter Pakistan.
Then we will destroy the hidden
terrorist camps situated over there.
As we have been called.
This wouldn't be an easy task.
Pakistan's defence budget
is significantly higher
than its Public welfare fund.
The missiles on their fighter jets are most advanced.
They are the most lethal in the entire world.
Apart from that,
they have surface-to-air missiles
spread around their border like
a minefield.
If we get into the range of
that missile,
we can bid goodbye to this mission.
The destruction of terrorist
camp sites is important
but returning back with every
fighter is also equally important.
It's time to remind the enemy...
That this country equally belongs
to Subash Chandra Bose along with Mahatma Gandhi.
So, load up. We fly tonight.
The name of our mission is...
Operation Valentine.
- Jai Hind.
- Jai Hind.
Team leader, come in.
Team leader, This Eva.
Confirm switch to AWACS?
I repeat team leader, this is Eva.
Confirm switch to AWACS?
Team leader to Eva,
This is Rudra Formation.
Confirm Joy.
Immediately leave for Delhi and
give justification to your squadron.
There's a training exercise for a month.
I'm leaving for the headquarters.
If it continues the same way,
then this will be the end of us.
Crossing the border.
4 minutes to target.
Starting countdown now.
Ma'am, obstruction in 20.
Okay.
There will be a ridge in your path in 20 seconds.
Stay as close to the ground as possible.
Copy that!
Rudra formation.
Climbing now.
Eva, any movement in the Radar?z
Negative. Path clear.
Continue.
Control room, come in.
Go ahead.
Sir, listen to this.
Ma'am, two fighters are
coming towards Rudra formation.
Where did they arrive from?
They are airborne
from the nearby Airbase.
Likely F16s.
Time to intercept 1 minute.
Rudra, fighters approaching you.
You have just one minute
in the safety window.
Resetting the clock.
Roger that, Eva.
How will we do it
in one minute, sir?
Increasing the speed at
this speed is way too risky.
If we have to achieve the target
we have to take height
and go supersonic.
- Once you take height
- the entire Pakistan will know!
It will be very risky.
Before they approach us,
we must drop the bombs and return.
Copy that, sir!
All pilots, increase speed to Mach 1.
Ascend to bomb release altitude.
Sir, they have barged in.
Shaheen 1, come in.
Stop them.
Do not let any Indian return home,.
Guys, you are visible
on Pakistan s radar.
Enemy fighters approaching.
Rudra, you have a safety
window of 30 seconds.
Drop the bombs and leave.
Copy that.
Rudra,
I'm giving you one last opportunity.
Go back.
If you want your life, turn back and go home.
Or else you won't be alive.
- Oh, shit. I've been locked.
- I'm locked too.
We will go back.
But Indians have a bad habit,
we never go back empty-handed.
Now that we have come here,
we shall definitely give our gift to you.
Rudra team, in position.
Bombs release, on my mark.

Commencing exit
Go go go
It's a hit. It's a hit.
Sir, the monkeys have
incinerated the place.
"Vande Mataram"
"Vande Mataram"
Sir. They are still engaging.
They can fire any time,
we have to take a call.
Enemy is in the intercept range.
We're changing the path.
Rudra, don't divert.
Maintain heading
That's a negative.
We're diverting towards north.
Sir, they entered through Jhelum.
There is nothing left in Shaikdhara sir.
Sir, this is a pre-planned airstrike.
Was our Air Force asleep while
they trespassed?
Show it to me.
Stop them.
Sir, the prey is on the trap,
pulling the trigger is left.
Rudra, the fighters have backed away.
Their heading is 1 8 0.
Why did they back out?
No.
No.
No. No.
Check the perimeter.
Yes Ma'm
Eva, they are not attacking me.
they are pushing me into their SAM range.
Eva, what is their missile location?
Rudra, you are right above the missile.
Shit.
Multiple missile launch.
Multiple missile launch.
Everybody, turn right.
I'll take care of this.
Sir We can't leave you alone, sir.
It's an order. Now, go.
Rudra wait.
Ace to Eva.
Rudra turned towards Pakistan.
Give me permission to turn back.
Negative. Ace Maintain heading.
Handover Ace for recovery.
I don't have a visual.
Look to your 9.
I repeat, look to your 9.
I have a visual.
I have a visual.
Commencing anti-SAM manoeuvre.
Missiles are at 1000 metres.
Speed Mach 4
20 seconds to impact.
Going low and beaming.
I'll divert the missiles from the hills.
Rudra, missile is still tracking you.
5 seconds to impact.
Damn it. Releasing chaffs and flares.
I m out of flares.
Status?
Ma'am, they have deployed
one more SAM.
They can fire at any second.
Shit!
Rudra, there's another SAM down there.
Even we won't send our guest empty handed.
I'll send your body to your country wrapped in tricolor
Did you miss me?
You take care of the F16s.
I have anti radar missiles.
I'll handle the SAMs.
Missile fired,
I'm countering the missile.
Firing anti-radiation missile.
Firing now.
Missiles away
Evade. Turn around. Fall back.
"Vande Mataram"
Didn't I tell you sir that you'd soon give me
an opportunity.
I hope you remember the score.
Yeah.
"Vande Mataram"
"Vande Mataram"
"Vande Mataram"
Bring down every Indian plane
that you find.
Ask your fighters to shoot them down.
Sir, we have to cross
the borders for that.
Then cross the bloody border. Now!
Shaheen, gun down as many
fighters as you can.
No, sir. Negative. Negative.
Turn around. Turn around. Fall back.
I said, go ahead and engage, dammit!
Engage!
Sir, there is no point
in engaging now.
If we cross the border, they'll attack us
and none of us will come back alive.
All fighters, return to base.
I will sort him out.
He should be in my office,
the next moment he lands.
Control to team 2, come in.
Sir
Bakshi, give me some good news.
Sir, Pakistan Air Force has retreated.
Their planes have fallen back.
Good.
What about our defenses situation?
Things seem fine sir.
Our border seems almost secured.
What do you mean by almost?
Sir, there are a few blind spots
on the northwestern command.
Due to snowfall,
our defences are yet to reach there sir.
Bakshi, the tension is as palpitating as a
nuclear war from both the ends.
We have been ordered
to deploy 66 armoured regiments.
We won't find ourselves
in that situation, sir.
We will be ready in another 40 hours.
40 hours?
We don't even have 24 hours.
If anything happens to our civilian or
military assests,
Then this war never ends.
Don't worry about it sir.
Our boys will handle it.
Jai Hind, sir!
A few days ago, we experienced a deadly
and painful assault
In which we lost 40 soldiers of ours.
The citizens of this country
asked me questions,
the families of the dead
asked me questions.
At that point,
I did not have any answer.
But today, I have. Today, at 5 a.m.,
Our Indian Air Force
Conducted a deadly airstrike on the
hidden terror camps of Pakistan
In which 300 militants and their launch pads have been destroyed.
And they will become significantly
weaker with this Airstrike.
But our aim is to ensure the
safety of every Indian citizen.
And I am committed to this purpose.
Sir!
At ease.
I give you one last opportunity
to explain your non-compliance.
If he fails to answer within
two minutes, shoot him.
Sir Do you know What is the General's
Biggest mistake during Kargil War?
He didn't take the Air Force along
with him.
Shaheen!
Sir, with your permission, may I?
Sir, only we know what's happening
on the ground and what should happen.
Whatever you want the Jihadis
to accomplish,
tell it to us;
we will do it.
Come straight to the point.
Sir, if we had engaged with them,
we all would have been dead by now
and there would have been
no Air Force to fight for you.
Amidst all the chaos...
India...
has given us a shining window
of opportunity
and why do you want to let that go, sir?
In the name of retaliation,
we would attack wherever you say, sir.
Pakistan Air Force
won't disappoint you, sir.
If you still think that I am at fault the other day...
ask him to shoot me down.
You are no lesser to any Mujahid with your words.
Alright.
I'm giving you the biggest mission
of your life.
Your target is 'NEHRU'.
We are ready sir.
We are not ready, sir.
We can counter them if they come
from the Western Front
but in the northern front
due to excessive snow,
Our troops haven't reach there.
Every soldier on the border,
our every asset lie exposed.
They would be direct targets
for the Pakistan Air Force.
The military is concerned sir.
Can we protect them all?
Let's ask them.
Sir!
Attention!
At ease, everybody.
How was Pakistan s air?
We still feel the burn't smell sir.
This feat is the first of its kind
in the Indian Air Force s
50-year glorious career.
You can't imagine how proud
I am of each and every one of you.
But...
your courage which took you through this
feat will be tested
in the true sense now.
From Gujarat to Kashmir,
All our military assets, fuel depots,
and weapon silos
are in direct targets to Pakistan.
They can attack them at any
moment in the name of retaliation.
So, we have to get divided into
teams and protect these assets.
But they will come unitedly with full force
and will attack on one target.
At that time who will be in the front position,
They have to face the Pakistani forces alone.
Until the backup arrives.
In those 10 minutes,
the decisions we take would decide
our victory or loss.
But the Indian Air Force has never faced a loss.
Even the sky is not the limits for pilots like you
who break through the clouds and take to the skies.
It is our duty to protect the skies
and it is our responsibility to protect the land.
There should be no trace of fear in any Indians eye.
We need to reassure them that we are behind them.
we must instill the belief that we are capable.
I was asked a question before I came here,
Can the Indian Air Force protect our borders?
I'm asking you the same question.
Are you guys ready?
Are you guys ready to change the colour of the sky?
Sir, Yes, sir.
Are you ready to roar like a Lion
and cause tremors in Pakistans spine?
Sir, Yes, sir.
Then, gear up boys.
- Sir!
- Dismissed.
Arjun
Sir?
You have led enough.
Tomorrow, you'll be on the backup.
When I said, this is going
to be the end of us
I didn't mean that literally.
He got the best of me.
He used my anger against me.
Bloody Shaheen guy.
It's because he has already met you.
He is the one who distracted you
in Pulwama.
And today, he knew exactly how to play you.
Bloody, I know how to play you.
You always say that you are
a warrior, don't you?
But no warrior would let his emotions
interfere with his mission.
He thinks strategically
and is very patient.
Most importantly, he knows
when to retreat and when to attack.
You are not a warrior.
But what you are is a saviour.
You bravely leaped into the burning
plane to rescue Yash.
Today, you risked your life
to save your team.
I'm very angry at you
but when I think about it I also feel
very proud of you.
We can definitely use a saviour.
Vector Bravo and Zulu towards North.
Tell Tiger 2 and 3
to cover the Western Sector
Don't get obliterated into
thin air yet again.
Call me if you are scared.
I'm not scared of the enemy, sir.
I'm scared of your flying skills.
Go, break a leg but not yours.
Come what may, We shall face it.
Hammer rolling.
Anvil Rolling.
- Ma'am, did you not sleep?
- No.
Something is off.
I can feel it.
Ma'am, something's wrong over here.
Ma'am, a cluster from this
base is coming towards us.
Zoom it here.
Ma'am, their vector is towards Kashmir.
Ma'am...
two more fighters are headed
towards Punjab.
Which fighters are those?
Checking, ma'am.
Jasbir...
Call sir. Immediately.
Sir!
It has started.
Tell me, Aahana.
Sir, these are F16s and JF17s.
What's the time for breach?
They will reach the border
in 5 minutes
Anvil intercepts
the northern Kashmir bogies.
It looks like an attack formation,
they might be carrying
long-range missiles.
Our pilots might be in danger.
What are they planning just
by sending two aircrafts?
Focus the radar on those two planes.
On it, sir.
How's the weather at the border?
It's about to get worse.
Bandit might be in front of you.
I see them, distance is 150 km.
Gazhnavi1 to Shaheen.
One minute to cross the LAC.
Be ready.
In position.
Anvil, it's not just two fighters.
We are in position, sir.
There are two Migs in front of you.
You should not have any difficulty.
Start the attack.
We are Initiating the attack.
Target NEHRU.
Mission control to all pilots,
this is red alert.
I repeat, this is red alert.
All units, battle ready.
Axes 1 and 2, scrambling for air support.
All units, Get ready.
we have an incoming threat from Pakistan.
Scramble jets, Alpha, Bravo,
Charlie and Delta.
There is a requirement of air support on the LOC.
All units, Scramble, Scramble, Scramble.
We need all pilots in the air.
Go for it.
Rudra, come in.
Go for Rudra.
Rudra, it's time.
Today, don't let your emotions get
the better of you.
Trust me, I won't let you down.
Rudra, Scramble,
Scramble, Scramble.
Climb 10000 feet and maintain bearing 3 2 0.
Your target, eight enemy aircrafts.
Enemy is holding attack formation.
Enemy aircraft profile, medium.
Identification, hostile.
Your mission is to intercept the enemy
aircraft and push them back.
Use of weapons is authorised.
God speed.
Hammer, they are eight and
we are just two.
If we fall back, they will enter our border
But if we proceed straight ahead...
it will be death.
Ours?
Or theirs?
I'm sorry yaar...
I couldn't take you on a date.
Are you kidding me?
We are taking down the enemy together,
what could be a better date than this?
Battle formation.
This is the Indian Air Force.
Your planes are about to enter
into restricted air space.
Turn around or you will be shot down.
Turn around.
Or else you won't be alive.
Brother, I literally said
the same thing in English , didn't I?
Take down both of them.
Ma'am, the radio has been intercepted.
It's the same F16s.
Rudra, what's your position?
One minute to target.
It's Shaheen.
Oh My God!
All fighters, you have permission
to engage.
Shoot to kill.
I repeat, shoot to kill.
Hammer...
hold your vector.
Copy that.
15 seconds to kill range.
Get the jammer out.
Turn... Located.
Prepare the missiles.
Roger that.
Turn... Located.
Only 5 seconds to hill range.
All Pakistani fighters, weapons-free.
Fire!
They have fired.
I repeat, they have fired.
- We are going to die today.
- Yes, definitely...
But It's not us who's going to die.
Commencing evasive manoeuvre.
Launching flares now
Missile on my right.
They are running away.
Shoot them down.
Don't let any Hindustani escape,
kill them.
Why are you so passionate
about killings and death?
- Learn to love.
- Shaheen 1 check for bogies...
Shaheen 1 check for...
What the f...
Sherdil 1 come in.
Sherdil 1 come in.
Now tell me, what's the score?
India 2 , Pakistan - 0
Come, let's go and finish them.
All fighters, engage.
Weapons, free. Weapons, free.
India is attacking.
Turn around and push them back.
Fast.
We are surrounded.
We need backup.
Eva there are no bombers here. All are fighters.
Then where are the bombers are coming from?
Check it.
Copy that.
AEWACS focus the radar near
Srinagar sector.
Ghaznavi 1.
The path of the target is very clear.
We will reach target in 5 minutes.
Sir, in this contingent there are 2 bomber aircrafts
and 8 escort fighters
Which are coming towards us.
What could be their target?
Aahana, trace their path. Quick.
Sir.
They won't send such a big contingent
without any fixed target.
It doesn't make any sense.
According to the intelligence report,
NEHRU is their target.
We will be at drop point in 2 minutes
How will we figure this out?
There are umpteen number of schools
and hospitals and other public
utilities of this name.
It's not NEHRU, sir.
It's the Jawahar tunnel,
the choke point of Kashmir.
If they destroy this tunnel,
in this season particularly,
it could cut off Kashmir
from the rest of India.
Then their militants and sleeper
cells could cause havoc over there.
Aahana, the terrorists were aiming
for this and now this aircraft too.
Sir, as long as they have escorts,
we can't reach their bombers.
We need a whole squadron.
ETA 4 minutes.
How far is the backup?
5 minutes.
Shit.
Everyone, head south.
Bombers approaching.
We need at least 10 fighters
to intercept their planes.
We don't need 10, 1 fighter is enough.
Project Vajra.
I'll fly low and hit the bombers
from below.
Rudra, we have not tested
Project Vajra yet.
You won't survive this.
Sir, you know there's no other way.
Bombers can be intercepted
by hiding under the radars
Eva, I know I'm not a warrior.
But you are.
Take the bloody call.
Rudra, do what you think is right.
But do not let those bastards enter
my country.
Copy that.
I need backup.
Rudra, I;m coming.
Viper, I'm getting him towards you.
You Take him down.

He has gone mad.
Project Vajra is a go.
Kabir, this is for you.
Stop him.
Someone shoot him down.
Sir, he's very close to the ground.
Radar can't detect him.
I don't care. Fire, fire.
You're all good for nothing.
Going down. Switching to guns.
Rudra, you have just 30 seconds
to intercept the bombers.
Copy that.
How can he fly so low?
We are in position.
Laser locked.
Primary target NEHRU.
Rudra!
I need 10 more seconds.
Dropping bombs in 3...
3...2... 1... Fire!
Impact on target, three minutes.
Ma'am, they have launched the bombs.
Eva, we can still shoot down
the targeting aircraft
and destroy the bombs.
Targeting aircraft Bearing 120 range.
100 km.Heading east at 450 knots.
Got it.
Shit. Shit. Shit...
Rudra!
Rudra, come in.
Rudra, do you copy?
Rudra?
If it continues the same way,
this will be the end of us.
You always ask me
if I don't get scared ever...
I get scared...
that I might not return
and might never see you again.
But as long as you are on the radar,
What will happen to me?
But in case, something happens to me,
remember this wing commander,
Aahana Gill...
It was an honour
that I served with you.
That I served for my country.
What could be greater glory
than this for a soldier!?
Ma'am, backup is here.
Confirm, all fighters safe.
Two jets maintain CAP.
Victory is ours.
Rudra to Eva.
Rudra to Eva.
Confirm Joy.
That's it.
Wow.Congratulations.
Hope I'm not too late for the party.
No. You are right on time.
Do you see a legend now?
Now I can, sir.
Yash?
Ma'am... Ma'am...
our tracker has been activated
on the crash site.
It's moving.
Yash!
Sir.
How's the situation Ajit?
One of our planes crashed
into their territory.
They have taken the pilot
into their custody.
What's our follow-up action?
We are in talks with
their foreign ministry
but we have not received
any concrete answer sir.
We don't have many options, sir.
Bakshi...
We are with you, sir.
No matter what your decision is,
we are ready for it.
No matter how much I want
the people of this country
to live in peace without
a war-like atmosphere,
we are being dragged into the same
war-like atmosphere again and again.
Sir, your orders?
Tell them that if they want peace
to sustain,
they must return our soldier
as soon as possible.
Sir, what if they don't agree?
Then you have full freedom on my behalf.
You may take any appropriate action
but I want our pilot to return
to our country by tomorrow.
Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind.
- Jai Hind.

Sparrow, Vector to 1 8 0.
Confirm Joy.
What sector is this?
Mansehra, sir.
We are tracking the movements
of the Pakistani Air Force.
They are flying in a cover pattern
from 3555 to 7324.
When observed closely, we found out that
they were giving protection to this convoy.
This doesnt make any sense.
Pakistani army shouldn't be here in the first place
Can I say something?
Do you see these trucks?
Pakistani Armed Forces had already
decommissioned them 5 years ago.
which means?
I mean, that is not the Pakistani Army
but they have full support from the army.
And, Air Force support as well
Even a battalion doesn't have has this armament.
Share this report with the Intelligence immediately.
We need eyes on the other side.
Sir!
We asked you for some rose petals,
but you have brought the whole garden for us.
This is nothing.
Never mind this.
The celebration we are planning
would surely require an entire garden.
- Are the boys ready?
- They are inside.
These are our warriors.
Ahad will supply the flowers to the Jawans.
Basheer will pass it on to Mr. Nehru.
Very good.
Sir, take your tea.
You three are leaving for Kashmir at dawn.
Make sure we leave no loose ends.
The lion is closely watching us.
If the Lion itself has come out to hunt,
that means something massive has been planned.
If it was a minuscule task, they wouldnt supply
this much armory and spend this much amount.
Its time to rip off Indias head.
Aahna, your new orders.
DRDO and HAL have developed new weapons which
can self-navigate, and destroy the target.
We dont require additional targeting aircrafts.
They have planned a mission in
Kashmir to test them.
You would be leading the mission from the ground,
from your home base Gwalior.
Sir!
The lead pilot of this mission would be
Wing Commander Arjun Dev.
Sir, Arjun?
Yes. Any problem?
No sir.
I know it's difficult to control some pilots.
It can be a nightmare.
But I know you can do it.
Coming to Arjun, this test is to know
his capabilities too.
- Good morning sir.
- Dhruv...
Aahna, I want you to meet Dhruv
from Hindustan Aeronautics
- Hello, maam.
- we already met sir.
He was the Chief Engineer for Project Vajra.
Alright then. I will leave you to it.
Dhruv will brief you further. Okay?
Let's go.
- Thank you, Dhruv.
- Thank you, sir.
Maam, you can find full details
of the weapons in this file.
Please have a look
Maam
Maam
You would meet Arjun sir in Gwalior, right?
Can you do me a favour?
Tell me.
Can you give this file to him?
What's in this?
The project is halted anyway but I did some
analysis based on the data I could gather.
It would be good if Arjun Sir
could take a look at this.
Project is halted for a reason.
Then why are you both still held to that project?
Its not us both ma'm,
Arjun sir doesnt know that
I have been working on this project.
I dont know why he stopped talking about
this project since he has gone to Gwalior.
Completely mute.
Sensors readings are faulty
Rudra, caution is advised.
What do you think?
Should we go ahead?
If there's anyone who can do this, it's you.
I trust you.
Go for it.
Copy that.
Rudra to Eva.
Commencing Project Vajra.
20 metres is too risky.
Caution is advised.
Come what may
Let's face it.
100 meters and going down.
60 meters.
50 meters.
Trajectory stable.
Rudra, almost there.
Shit..Shit.. Shit..
Shit..Shit..
eject..eject..eject..
The service ceiling of a Mirage 2000 is 59000 ft.
But how we know it?
There must be one who took that plane to it's height
Until its engines doesn't turn off.
There might be one,
Who tests the limits of the plane until its frame bends.
Every new plane, every new equipment
who tests in any condition.
So that we as fighter pilots
can be safe in our cockpits.
We call them the test pilots of the Indian Air Force.
I present to you Wing Commander Arjun Dev.
Stay away from the plane, sir.
You do something crazy every time you fly.
Who allowed you in?
This area is for pilots only.
Then what are you doing here?
Guys, this is your time to mock at me,
But once I get back into the cockpit again
no one dares to speak a word.
Oh! Is it sir!
I got away from Gwalior to get rid of you
but you came here too?
You are our gang leader sir.
Wherever you go we three will be with you.
Three of them?
Who's the third one?
It's Yash sir.
He's been doing sorties since 4 a.m.
There he is sir.
He is coming towards the approach.
when the approach is here,
where is he going?
Anvil, you are cleared to land.
control, this is Anvil.
Hydraulics have failed.
I've lost control of the aircraft.
Emergency services on the way.
Get back.
Everyone, step aside, move back.
Move back!
Everybody, move back.
Move!
Control.. I repeat, this is Anvil.
Hydraulics have failed.
I've lost control of the aircraft.
Air commodore Mahtre here.
What?
No..No..No..
Arjun, sir.
Move I said...
Everyone, come back.
Come back! that's an order.
Hey,
Sir!
Quick...
Fast, fast... everybody fast.
Are you fine?
Any pain?
Can you move your hands?
Yeah, I can.
What?
Would you tell me what happened?
Hydraulics failed just before landing.
I tried to control it also..
But I couldn't.
What?
Charlie, you can't handle a girl nor
can you land a plane.
Thanks for saving my life, sir.
Remember the score.
Arjun 1 - Yash 0
I would soon level it, sir.
Moreover, you are an expert in
providing such opportunities.
You are a specialist in those things.
Hi.
Sister in-law.
You would feel good now.
Well go to the hospital, sir.
You must be heart specialist.
Hey, are you fine?
It's okay. It's nothing.
Sir, AOC has called for you.
Has he?
Yes sir.
You go. I'll join.
Let's go.
Wing commander, Arjun Dev.
This is my first day in this air base
and I would have lost 4 of my pilots
on the very same day.
Not the welcome I was expecting.
Sorry for the trouble, sir.
Are you?
Never in my service have I seen
so many red flags in somebody's file.
How are you still allowed to fly?
I'm still not flying, sir.
I'm recovering.
Recovering from what?
Project Vajra. Sir!
So, you are the legend you survived?
Right?
Was Project Vajra your idea?
My Co-pilot's and mine.
Great.
Great.
It was a good idea to fly so close to the land that
you are undetected by any radars and missiles.
Sir!
it's dumbest idea, I've ever heard.
If you are flying at 50 metres height,
how can one not expect an accident?
sir, actually I was flying at 20 meters.
It's a miracle that you are still alive.
I have survived much worse, sir.
But your co-pilot Kabir did not!
I cannot tolerate insubordination.
Clear your evaluation test
and join the combat again.
And Arjun, enough of your suicidal missions.
- Dismiss
- Sir.
Assalam Walaikum Aunty.
Walaikum Assalam, dear.
Rafakat Rafakat
Forgive us. We made a mistake.
Shes a child,
cute kid.
It takes five years
for a cadet to be a fighter pilot.
And for a missile to destroy the cadet,
it takes only five seconds.
Primary weapons of Pakistan Airforce,
their long-range missiles.
Their missiles have a speciality.
They have never missed a target.
Any mission against Pakistan,
this is your biggest challenge,
remember that.
What would you do
if the missiles chased you? Anybody?
Sir, what if you let
the missile come closer,
and dodge it at the last moment?
Where have you learnt that?
Sir, I've seen it in the movies.
It takes a turn in the nick of time and...
Wow, brilliant.
We need such superheroes
for our Air Force.
If your speed is mach 1,
missile's speed will be mach 4.
That's 4 times your speed.
While turning the missile
can load around 50 Gs.
And pilots can only till 9Gs.
Unlike missiles,
human body has limitations.
Wherever you maybe in the open sky,
it will find you and it will shoot you down.
You can just outsmart it,
using flares and chaffes.
But what if we are not present
in the open sky.
Pardon me...
Instead of the open sky,
what if we,
fly at lower altitude?
Modern radars have the capacity
to be visible for 50 meters.
What if we fly lower than that,
at 20 meters?
No radar or missile will be able
to track us in the clutter.
This is not possible.
We had tried earlier.
But that day, Indian Air Force,
lost one of its decorated pilots.
And we almost lost another one.
How was your flight, ma'am?
I should be asking that question to you.
I'm glad to see you in one piece.
It was a minor crash.
Minor crash?
Ma'am, such incidents are common
in Air Warrior's lives.
We face risks almost every day.
Oh, maybe that's why you are on
the ground handling all the paperwork.
I'm done with the paper work.
tomorrow I have a mission
and i'll get my wings back.
By the way, Do you know
who is assessing you?
Why do i care?
there is no one who can face me
not only in the air but on land too.
Alright.
i will mention the same thing
When i fail you.
What?
it's fine stop here.
If you want your wings back, watch out.
I am 78% sure, that was not for me.
Now I'm 100% sure.
(Singing Telugu Song)
How dare you enter my room!
When I see you in this uniform
How can I resist myself.
Welcome home.
Confirm Joy.
Tell me.
Nothing, I was picking a glass
in the mess and cut myself.
You are a good pilot
but not a good liar.
When will you stop your adventures Arjun?
Are you not scared?
Why should I be?
As long as you are on the radar.
What will happen to me?
But I got scared once,
That day when Hitler came home early.
Hey, did you call my dad Hitler?
He is your father-in-law.
Trust me. If he Had seen you in my shirt,
his BP would have skyrocketed.
He would have court-marshalled you.
And beat you into pieces.
"In the canvas of your love, I soar in the skies.
Will stay afloat like this for many more births."
"All my worldly ties dissolved,
the moment I laid my eyes on you."
"Threads of moonlight, a yearning gaze,
your eyes, an unquenchable stream."
"You made my soul a temple by entwining with me,
Oh my Goddess!"
"In the canvas of your love, I soar in the skies.
Will stay afloat like this for many more births."
"All my worldly ties dissolved,
the moment I laid my eyes on you."
"My heart always searches for your divinity
but you're a mirage, ever elusive, "
"like Radha and Krishna's eternal play."
"Shall I be your never-ending darkness? "
Shall I become the dark kohl in your eyes?
Shall I gift you all the colours of this world and become your rainbow?
Shall I take refuge on your lips?
Seasons change, but your laughter remains,
transforming into timeless images,
"I am half and you have my other half,
please complete me, Oh my beloved!"
"You made my soul a temple by entwining with me,
Oh my Goddess!"
Rudra, go up.
What is this torture!?
Who hears Gazal nowadays?
But that uncle is enjoying it.
Oye! Where are you going?
I am walking on the path of love.
Let him go, tomorrow's valentine's day.
How long will he stay single!?
One martini, please.
Shaken and stirred.
It's shaken, not stirred.
Exactly. One for the lady, please.
Squadron leader, Yash Sharma.
Tanya Sharma.
Oh... Sharma - Sharma!
Wow!
You said, you are a pilot, right?
Fighter pilot, actually.
Wow! That's fascinating.
If you want,
I can take you for a ride.
No way! That'll be fun.
Of course, it will be.
The view from a height of 35000 feet
is something else.
- Squadron leader!
- Yes.
Just coming.
See you in the skies,
Squadron leader Yash Sharma.
Don't tell this to anyone.
This will be tomorrow's
breaking news for the Base.
Welcome, sir!
Thank you for the lovely evening.
- My pleasure sir.
- Hello sir.
Arjun, my boy, good to see you.
- How are you, sir?
- Good.
By the way, meet your new AOC
Air Commodor,Mayank Mahtre.
We already met, sir.
I have also studied his file in detail.
You know Mahtre, I've not come across
such an extraordinary talent in my life,
one of my best students.
Sir!
But he was also a pain in my ass.
But now when I see him,
I can't be proud enough.
You are right, sir.
He is a pain in the ass.
Mahtre...
Sir, forget about that.
What's the purpose of your visit?
Why? Shouldn't I be here?
Tomorrow's mission is extremely crucial
in taking India forward
as a self-reliant country.
So it is your responsibility to complete
tomorrow's mission successfully.
Sir,
He will do it, sir.
He has a speciality jumping into fire.
When he jump into a burning aircraft
to save Yash...
That aircraft would've bloody exploded.
It could have killed everyone.
...this mission should be
a piece of cake for him.
Right, Arjun?
Right, sir.
The party was good, wasn't it?
Did you get hurt by a shard of glass?
Okay. I'm sorry, I lied.
Every time when I believe you are done with
your adventures.
You start all over again.
But this time was different.
What was different?
The emergency team was stationed there,
weren't they?
You suffered such
a massive accident, Arjun.
Learn to follow the protocols at least now.
But no, you won't!
Unless you jump into the fire, things won't work.
Right?
What do you mean?
Should I stand aside and watch Yash being burnt alive?
Is that why I joined the Air Force?
to see my mates die?
I know you are hurt.
I'm sorry for hiding this from you.
But my intentions were not ill-intended.
Your intentions are always
well-placed, Arjun.
But to be honest,
those good intentions actually scare me.
Sensors readings are faulty, Rudra.
Caution is advised.
We can handle it Eva.
30 metres.
Oh shit, shit, shit...
Rudra!
Aahna ma'am, there was no problem
when I last checked, I swear.
Not now, Dhruv.
Ma'am...Kabir and Arjun sir
to check the maneuver.
- Everything was alright...
- Kabir is dead, Dhruv.
Arjun is fighting for his life now.
not right now.
Take these.
If there is any problem
We shall use these to communicate.
Nothing should go wrong, okay?
- Hm.
- Take care.
This is your flight plan.
Be safe up there.
As long as you are on the radar,
What will happen to me?
"Carrying embers away"
"Challenging the storms"
"Even deceiving death"
"We will not accept defeat today"
Flight checklist complete.
Starting engines now.
Tower, Rudra formation.
ready for taxi.
Roger, we are taxying via zulu,
to runway 6 left.
Handing over flight to control centre.
Rudra formation, clear for takeoff.
Winds are currently 280 degrees
at 10 knots,
Roger.
Tower, Rudra formation.
Lined up on runway 06L.
ready for takeoff.
Time of commencement of test 0700 hrs.
Your target is in Kashmir bearing
coordinates are 3630, 7241 at 12000 feet.
There the weather bad, so expect low visibility.
Use the navigation system
to navigate amongst the hill,
to destroy the target.
You are clear to engage
and verify all weapon systems.
Code accepted.
Rockets, online.
Navigation systems, online.
The weather is not
as problematic as expected.
Eva, we have a situation.
We have heavy clouds in front of us.
What's the visibility?
No clear line of sight.
Flight visibility, zero zero.
This is too dangerous.
The possibility of crashing into
mountains is too high.
We have to abort the mission now.
You can abort the mission, Rudra.
We can conduct the test later.
This weapon systems are built
for such conditions.
If it fails, you'll be flying blind.
If test pilots won't trust
our engineers,
then who else will?
Someone has to conduct the test, right?
I'll fly with the instruments.
This is what we are trained for.
Come what may, let's face it!
let's see what this thing can do.
Copy that.
Climbing above the clouds.
Time over target, 2 minutes.
I have lost visual on you.
No shit.
Rudra, what's your position?
Two clicks from target.
Arming rockets.
Shit, shit, shit, shit
Firing!
Yes!
Rudra, return to base immediately.
It s been a while.
I really miss this view...!!
Bashir, Bashir., come in Bashir!
Bashir, Bashir., come in.
Don't know, where is Basheer?
Ahad, where is Basheer?
I don t know.
I am unable to contact him.
Sir
Why did you call me?
Is there any problem?
Nothing for now.
But some vultures are hovering over us,
They might have come to safeguard Nehru.
Yes, sir.
Okay, sir.
Shaheen 1, Shaheen 1, come in.
Go ahead, tower.
Mission update.
Lock the bogies.
Bearing coordinates 3407,
7381 at altitude 12000.
Yeah, I can see them.
Locked and hold for orders.
Roger.
Follow my lead.
Roger that.
Turning right in 3... 2...1.
What the
- Control, I'm locked. I'm locked.
- someone is locking me too.
Find out where the lock is coming from, quick.
Rudra, we observe two
F16s across the LOC.
Bearing coordinates 3442, 7316.
They are targeting you.
Ma'am, F16s have changed
their headings
and are approaching the border.
This is an attack formation.
You have engaged an authorized IAF
personnel over Indian Airspace.
Turn away or you will be fired upon.
I repeat.
Turn back towards Pakistan
or we will open fire.
Barasingha 1, check the line.
Barasingha 1, stop him right away.
This is the last warning.
Turn away or we will open fire.
Turn away or we will open fire.
Rudra, come in. Rudra, Are you there?
A huge blast took place on the ground.
We are under attack.
I repeat, we are under attack.
There is a blast on the ground.
Possible aerial bombings
at coordinates 3337, 7422.
Stand by, Rudra.
I want every information
regarding the blast.
Get on it now.
Yes, ma am.
Ma am, we didn t find any bombs
coming in the radars.
What is the distance
from the blast site?
Distance
Bandits distance is 150 Km, ma am.
How can this be an aerial attack?
Eva, please confirm.
Were these fighters involved
in the blasts or not?
Stand by.
Ma'am...If we don't stop these bandits
If we fire at them now and later if they they find out
that these fighters were not involved in the blast
then it would be considered
as a declaration of War.
Eva, I m still locked.
I need permission to engage.
Rudra, stand by.
Copy sir.
Ma am, that blast was an attack
on the military convoy.
The authorities are trying
to dig out more details but nothing confirmed yet.
Rudra, do not fire.
We are not under attack.
- What?
- I repeat, we are not under attack.
We are damnit! I can see it.
It s happening right in front of me.
There is no sign, Rudra.
I am not authorising it.
Go back and secure the blast site.
Screw it. That s a negative.
I'm engaging the enemy.
Rudra, has armed the missiles.
Rudra, you are violating a direct order.
Do not fire. I repeat, do not fire.
Do not fire. I repeat, do not fire.
Stand down, Rudra.
Rudra, you are not authorized to engage.
You are in violation of a direct order.
Stand down. I repeat, stand down.
Rudra, stand down.
Turn around and secure the blast area.
Shit!
Access Rudra's live feed.
"Moon, my love"

We strictly condemn
Pakistan s terror activities.
I give assurance to all my people
that the government will take
appropriate action against them.
India is falsely accusing us.
If they dare to take
any action against us,
Pakistan will not think of retaliation,
it WILL retaliate!
Then you would be responsible
for the consequences.
This was not a standalone attack.
We don t know how many more
attacks have they planned.
If they manage
to infiltrate into Kashmir,
it would be near impossible to identify,
eliminate them.
Sir, this small victory
is enough for today.
If they find out about our intentions,
we will be in serious trouble.
What is their target, sir?
- Nehru.
- Nehru?
It's a code.
It could be anything.
PM, CM, Building, Bridge,
City, Stadium,
By the time they find out our plan,
we will have India by its neck.
This is not the time to back out.
It is the time
to play our trump card.
Everybody,
try to come up with a viable plan.
And until we don't have a concrete plan,
keep pressuring Pakistan.
Send 10 planes instead of one
to Bhawalpur.
Secure the borders so tight that they
should not even dream of crossing it.
So Wing Commander, Aahna Gill,
Would you please elaborate,
why were my two pilots went about
to attack Pakistan?
Sir, our orders were very clear,
I did not give permission to Rudra
to attack on the Pakistani fighters.
In fact, he denied my orders despite
being aware of the consequences.
But there was the presence
of enemy fighters, weren t they?
Sir, we measured the distance
and speed of the enemy fighters,
neither the blast site nor our pilots
were in their kill range.
they were not the threat.
If they were not the threat
then why the hell did you engage?
With due respect, sir,
we justify our actions
to pacify ourselves.
But you know,
that it was a coordinated attack.
Yes, they didn't engage us
but didn't they clear, the route for the terrorists?
Sir, I know some people think
my actions were rash.
but it was necessary.
What would have you done,
if you had been in my place?
Sir, I remember that you had
taught us in the academy,
that even if one of us is in danger,
we must put our lives on the line
to save him.
But a terrorist carried 100 kgs of RDX
and killed 40 of our soldiers,
shouldn't we act against that?
We know their location,
and we have the power
to eliminate them too.
This power is not take lives.
but to save them Arjun.
Did we really save them sir?
Our jawans didn't have the opportunity
to fight for their lives.
Now when we have the opportunity
to avenge them
but you tied up our hands.
To take revenge.
If vengeance is what we crave,
the world will have no country but just borders.
Even my blood boils for
my soldiers, Arjun.
But remember one thing,
this is the Indian Air Force,
you must maintain a balance between
aggression and sanity.
I have had enough.
Your squadron has probed
an enquiry on you.
But, sir
Enquiry for what?
You defied direct orders
and tried to attack a neighbouring
country during peacetime.
Go to Delhi as soon as possible
and submit your justification
to your squadron.
They will decide whether to take
action against you or not.
You are dismissed!
Somebody has had a rough time today.
It will be you.
What are you doing here?
I've been ordered to remove
the sensors of Project Vajra.
That's why I'm here.
But you haven't replied
to the file yet.
Reply for what?
Sir... the file that I had sent you.
When did you send?
Sir, we conducted
an inquiry post the accident.
We have found that the reason for
the crash was not the sensors
but the jet stabilisers.
The file has the findings
of that inquiry.
I gave the file to Aahna ma'am
and asked her to give it to you.
Since you didn't reply,
I thought you didn't want
to talk about it and ignored it, sir.
What is there in that file?
Come, I'll show you.
Sir, the sensors saved you from crashing
down while you were flying low
but the stabilisers stopped you
from going up.
So if we switch off the stabilisers...
Low flying is possible, sir.
Are you sure?
- What is the percentage to success?
- Sir, 100%...
50% sure, sir.
Can you send this report to me?
I will, sir.
I think there is some mixup sir.
- May be madam has forgotten...
- This time give it to me directly.
I don't know what you do but delay it.
We need one more chance
to test these sensors.
So, be on it.
This is sector director Ahana Gill.
Yeah, okay.
I'll be ready in half an hour.
I want to tell you something.
Arjun, are you listening to me?
I'm talking to you.
Tell me.
I have training exercises for a month.
I'm leaving for the headquarters.
wheels up in one hour.
Arjun, I understand you are angry
but please don't hate me
for doing my job.
Then why do you hate me
for doing my job?
Arjun, I swear I don't yaar. Why will I?
See from my point of view.
It's my responsibility to keep
every pilot safe, including you.
I can't handle anymore to see my husband
gambling with death almost everyday.
Thinking whether he returns
or not today or tomorrow.
i don't have a problem with your job
the problem is with
your careless attitude,
your recklessness
and above all your lies.
Lies?
Am I the only one who lies?
isn't it?
- What do you mean?
- Dhruv met me today.
He told me about the file.
So what, Arjun?
Aahna, I'm not done talking.
what's new in that file?
One design may work
and the other might not.
Someone has to test it. Right?
Who will do it?
I will.
f we crack this have you ever thought
how many lives can be saved ?
Project Vajra is very important
for the Air Force even today.
If it works out...
What if it doesn't work out?
What if it doesn't, Arjun?
Take this. Are you happy now?
Do what you feel like doing.
Aahna, listen.
What, listen?
I can't keep waiting for the day
you take off and never comes back.
Why do you think so?
Did Kabir come back?
If this continues the same way,
this will be the end of us.
Wait, bro. Why so hurry?
Where are you going?
We are ruined too because of you.
Our chief is becoming more
stubborn with each passing day.
Why?
What did he do to you?
He changed my wingman
in the last moment.
Someone named Hammer.
His call sign itself is saying he is a jerk.
I'm already tired of you. In addition he's joined.
I'm sorry, I have to tell you something.
Of late, your behaviour
has been quite disappointing.
Are you listening?
Look at me. My life philosophy is simple.
Be cool and just follow the orders which are givern
Get married and enjoy
multiple honeymoons.
What will you gain becoming
a kamikazi plane.
Did you meet that hammer guy?
I got dejected hearing his name.
Why should I meet him again?
Sir...
- We have to rendezvous at.
- Coffee?
Green Tea?
- Delhi.
- At 2300 hours.
I'll be your team lead
and you'll be my Wingman.
I'll be whatever you want me to be.
Do you hear any guitar playing?
Yeah.
Our chief is playing it.
Our chief is Such a wonderful person.
Get me those wings.
Take care.
Bandit in front, engaging now.
Sir, vector 20 degrees.
There are more boogies incoming.
It's been four days and they are still
Practicing, why?
Squadron 7 has joined them today.
Squadron 7?
They should be in Delhi, right?
What are they doing in Kashmir?
Let's do this.
What are they doing?
Control to Rudra, come in.
Control to Rudra, come in.
They are very close to Pakistan,
warn them.
Control to Rudra, you are very
close to hostile territory.
Your vector is 270.
Turn around immediately.
Control to Rudra.
Hostile territory ahead.
Turn back immediately.
Control to Rudra.
Hostile...
Jasbir whatever is happening...
Let it happen.
PM is asking for options.
Sir, we have an idea.
But you might not like it.
26th February at 300 hours,
there is going
to be a massive aerial strike
on the hidden campsite
of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Pakistan.
We have been given the responsibility of
carrying this out successfully.
From our sources,
we have received information
of 400 to 500 militants
of Jaish-e-Mohammad holding
up at Shaikdhara.
They are planning
a series of attacks on India.
Now, it's our job to neutralise them.
But it is not an easy task.
This has to be a clean operation.
To prepare for such a massive attack,
we would need thousands of personnel.
But by chance,
if this information gets leaked,
then Pakistan Army would be waiting for
our pilots from the other end.
Pakistan is keenly observing
our every movement.
We have to use this to our advantage.
Near Bhavalpur.It will prove to be a great distraction.
Pakistan will be compelled, to move out their defenses and assests.
Send ten planes to Bhavalpur,
instead of one.
And that is when we will strike.
Our fighters will take off from Gwalior
Air Base to evade Pakistan's watch.
we'll reach Kashmir via Delhi.
From there they will fly through Jhelum Valley
to avoid any detection on radars and enter Pakistan.
Then we will destroy the hidden
terrorist camps situated over there.
As we have been called.
This wouldn't be an easy task.
Pakistan's defence budget
is significantly higher
than its Public welfare fund.
The missiles on their fighter jets are most advanced.
They are the most lethal in the entire world.
Apart from that,
they have surface-to-air missiles
spread around their border like
a minefield.
If we get into the range of
that missile,
we can bid goodbye to this mission.
The destruction of terrorist
camp sites is important
but returning back with every
fighter is also equally important.
It's time to remind the enemy...
That this country equally belongs
to Subash Chandra Bose along with Mahatma Gandhi.
So, load up. We fly tonight.
The name of our mission is...
Operation Valentine.
- Jai Hind.
- Jai Hind.
Team leader, come in.
Team leader, This Eva.
Confirm switch to AWACS?
I repeat team leader, this is Eva.
Confirm switch to AWACS?
Team leader to Eva,
This is Rudra Formation.
Confirm Joy.
Immediately leave for Delhi and
give justification to your squadron.
There's a training exercise for a month.
I'm leaving for the headquarters.
If it continues the same way,
then this will be the end of us.
Crossing the border.
4 minutes to target.
Starting countdown now.
Ma'am, obstruction in 20.
Okay.
There will be a ridge in your path in 20 seconds.
Stay as close to the ground as possible.
Copy that!
Rudra formation.
Climbing now.
Eva, any movement in the Radar?z
Negative. Path clear.
Continue.
Control room, come in.
Go ahead.
Sir, listen to this.
Ma'am, two fighters are
coming towards Rudra formation.
Where did they arrive from?
They are airborne
from the nearby Airbase.
Likely F16s.
Time to intercept 1 minute.
Rudra, fighters approaching you.
You have just one minute
in the safety window.
Resetting the clock.
Roger that, Eva.
How will we do it
in one minute, sir?
Increasing the speed at
this speed is way too risky.
If we have to achieve the target
we have to take height
and go supersonic.
- Once you take height
- the entire Pakistan will know!
It will be very risky.
Before they approach us,
we must drop the bombs and return.
Copy that, sir!
All pilots, increase speed to Mach 1.
Ascend to bomb release altitude.
Sir, they have barged in.
Shaheen 1, come in.
Stop them.
Do not let any Indian return home,.
Guys, you are visible
on Pakistan s radar.
Enemy fighters approaching.
Rudra, you have a safety
window of 30 seconds.
Drop the bombs and leave.
Copy that.
Rudra,
I'm giving you one last opportunity.
Go back.
If you want your life, turn back and go home.
Or else you won't be alive.
- Oh, shit. I've been locked.
- I'm locked too.
We will go back.
But Indians have a bad habit,
we never go back empty-handed.
Now that we have come here,
we shall definitely give our gift to you.
Rudra team, in position.
Bombs release, on my mark.

It's a hit. It's a hit.
Sir, the monkeys have
incinerated the place.
"Vande Mataram"
"Vande Mataram"
Sir. They are still engaging.
They can fire any time,
we have to take a call.
Enemy is in the intercept range.
We're changing the path.
Rudra, don't divert.
Maintain heading
That's a negative.
We're diverting towards north.
Sir, they entered through Jhelum.
There is nothing left in Shaikdhara sir.
Sir, this is a pre-planned airstrike.
Was our Air Force asleep while
they trespassed?
Show it to me.
Stop them.
Sir, the prey is on the trap,
pulling the trigger is left.
Rudra, the fighters have backed away.
Their heading is 1 8 0.
Why did they back out?
No.
No.
No. No.
Check the perimeter.
Yes Ma'm
Eva, they are not attacking me.
they are pushing me into their SAM range.
Eva, what is their missile location?
Rudra, you are right above the missile.
Shit.
Multiple missile launch.
Multiple missile launch.
Everybody, turn right.
I'll take care of this.
Sir We can't leave you alone, sir.
It's an order. Now, go.
Rudra wait.
Ace to Eva.
Rudra turned towards Pakistan.
Give me permission to turn back.
Negative. Ace Maintain heading.
Handover Ace for recovery.
I don't have a visual.
Look to your 9.
I repeat, look to your 9.
I have a visual.
I have a visual.
Commencing anti-SAM manoeuvre.
Missiles are at 1000 metres.
Speed Mach 4
20 seconds to impact.
Going low and beaming.
I'll divert the missiles from the hills.
Rudra, missile is still tracking you.
5 seconds to impact.
Damn it. Releasing chaffs and flares.
I m out of flares.
Status?
Ma'am, they have deployed
one more SAM.
They can fire at any second.
Shit!
Rudra, there's another SAM down there.
Even we won't send our guest empty handed.
I'll send your body to your country wrapped in tricolor
Did you miss me?
You take care of the F16s.
I have anti radar missiles.
I'll handle the SAMs.
Missile fired,
I'm countering the missile.
Firing anti-radiation missile.
Firing now.
Missiles away
Evade. Turn around. Fall back.
"Vande Mataram"
Didn't I tell you sir that you'd soon give me
an opportunity.
I hope you remember the score.
Yeah.
"Vande Mataram"
"Vande Mataram"
"Vande Mataram"
Bring down every Indian plane
that you find.
Ask your fighters to shoot them down.
Sir, we have to cross
the borders for that.
Then cross the bloody border. Now!
Shaheen, gun down as many
fighters as you can.
No, sir. Negative. Negative.
Turn around. Turn around. Fall back.
I said, go ahead and engage, dammit!
Engage!
Sir, there is no point
in engaging now.
If we cross the border, they'll attack us
and none of us will come back alive.
All fighters, return to base.
I will sort him out.
He should be in my office,
the next moment he lands.
Control to team 2, come in.
Sir
Bakshi, give me some good news.
Sir, Pakistan Air Force has retreated.
Their planes have fallen back.
Good.
What about our defenses situation?
Things seem fine sir.
Our border seems almost secured.
What do you mean by almost?
Sir, there are a few blind spots
on the northwestern command.
Due to snowfall,
our defences are yet to reach there sir.
Bakshi, the tension is as palpitating as a
nuclear war from both the ends.
We have been ordered
to deploy 66 armoured regiments.
We won't find ourselves
in that situation, sir.
We will be ready in another 40 hours.
40 hours?
We don't even have 24 hours.
If anything happens to our civilian or
military assests,
Then this war never ends.
Don't worry about it sir.
Our boys will handle it.
Jai Hind, sir!
A few days ago, we experienced a deadly
and painful assault
In which we lost 40 soldiers of ours.
The citizens of this country
asked me questions,
the families of the dead
asked me questions.
At that point,
I did not have any answer.
But today, I have. Today, at 5 a.m.,
Our Indian Air Force
Conducted a deadly airstrike on the
hidden terror camps of Pakistan
In which 300 militants and their launch pads have been destroyed.
And they will become significantly
weaker with this Airstrike.
But our aim is to ensure the
safety of every Indian citizen.
And I am committed to this purpose.
Sir!
At ease.
I give you one last opportunity
to explain your non-compliance.
If he fails to answer within
two minutes, shoot him.
Sir Do you know What is the General's
Biggest mistake during Kargil War?
He didn't take the Air Force along
with him.
Shaheen!
Sir, with your permission, may I?
Sir, only we know what's happening
on the ground and what should happen.
Whatever you want the Jihadis
to accomplish,
tell it to us;
we will do it.
Come straight to the point.
Sir, if we had engaged with them,
we all would have been dead by now
and there would have been
no Air Force to fight for you.
Amidst all the chaos...
India...
has given us a shining window
of opportunity
and why do you want to let that go, sir?
In the name of retaliation,
we would attack wherever you say, sir.
Pakistan Air Force
won't disappoint you, sir.
If you still think that I am at fault the other day...
ask him to shoot me down.
You are no lesser to any Mujahid with your words.
Alright.
I'm giving you the biggest mission
of your life.
Your target is 'NEHRU'.
We are ready sir.
We are not ready, sir.
We can counter them if they come
from the Western Front
but in the northern front
due to excessive snow,
Our troops haven't reach there.
Every soldier on the border,
our every asset lie exposed.
They would be direct targets
for the Pakistan Air Force.
The military is concerned sir.
Can we protect them all?
Let's ask them.
Sir!
Attention!
At ease, everybody.
How was Pakistan s air?
We still feel the burn't smell sir.
This feat is the first of its kind
in the Indian Air Force s
50-year glorious career.
You can't imagine how proud
I am of each and every one of you.
But...
your courage which took you through this
feat will be tested
in the true sense now.
From Gujarat to Kashmir,
All our military assets, fuel depots,
and weapon silos
are in direct targets to Pakistan.
They can attack them at any
moment in the name of retaliation.
So, we have to get divided into
teams and protect these assets.
But they will come unitedly with full force
and will attack on one target.
At that time who will be in the front position,
They have to face the Pakistani forces alone.
Until the backup arrives.
In those 10 minutes,
the decisions we take would decide
our victory or loss.
But the Indian Air Force has never faced a loss.
Even the sky is not the limits for pilots like you
who break through the clouds and take to the skies.
It is our duty to protect the skies
and it is our responsibility to protect the land.
There should be no trace of fear in any Indians eye.
We need to reassure them that we are behind them.
we must instill the belief that we are capable.
I was asked a question before I came here,
Can the Indian Air Force protect our borders?
I'm asking you the same question.
Are you guys ready?
Are you guys ready to change the colour of the sky?
Sir, Yes, sir.
Are you ready to roar like a Lion
and cause tremors in Pakistans spine?
Sir, Yes, sir.
Then, gear up boys.
- Sir!
- Dismissed.
Arjun
Sir?
You have led enough.
Tomorrow, you'll be on the backup.
When I said, this is going
to be the end of us
I didn't mean that literally.
He got the best of me.
He used my anger against me.
Bloody Shaheen guy.
It's because he has already met you.
He is the one who distracted you
in Pulwama.
And today, he knew exactly how to play you.
Bloody, I know how to play you.
You always say that you are
a warrior, don't you?
But no warrior would let his emotions
interfere with his mission.
He thinks strategically
and is very patient.
Most importantly, he knows
when to retreat and when to attack.
You are not a warrior.
But what you are is a saviour.
You bravely leaped into the burning
plane to rescue Yash.
Today, you risked your life
to save your team.
I'm very angry at you
but when I think about it I also feel
very proud of you.
We can definitely use a saviour.
Vector Bravo and Zulu towards North.
Tell Tiger 2 and 3
to cover the Western Sector
Don't get obliterated into
thin air yet again.
Call me if you are scared.
I'm not scared of the enemy, sir.
I'm scared of your flying skills.
Go, break a leg but not yours.
Come what may, We shall face it.
Hammer rolling.
Anvil Rolling.
- Ma'am, did you not sleep?
- No.
Something is off.
I can feel it.
Ma'am, something's wrong over here.
Ma'am, a cluster from this
base is coming towards us.
Zoom it here.
Ma'am, their vector is towards Kashmir.
Ma'am...
two more fighters are headed
towards Punjab.
Which fighters are those?
Checking, ma'am.
Jasbir...
Call sir. Immediately.
Sir!
It has started.
Tell me, Aahana.
Sir, these are F16s and JF17s.
What's the time for breach?
They will reach the border
in 5 minutes
Anvil intercepts
the northern Kashmir bogies.
It looks like an attack formation,
they might be carrying
long-range missiles.
Our pilots might be in danger.
What are they planning just
by sending two aircrafts?
Focus the radar on those two planes.
On it, sir.
How's the weather at the border?
It's about to get worse.
Bandit might be in front of you.
I see them, distance is 150 km.
Gazhnavi1 to Shaheen.
One minute to cross the LAC.
Be ready.
In position.
Anvil, it's not just two fighters.
We are in position, sir.
There are two Migs in front of you.
You should not have any difficulty.
Start the attack.
We are Initiating the attack.
Target NEHRU.
Mission control to all pilots,
this is red alert.
I repeat, this is red alert.
All units, battle ready.
Axes 1 and 2, scrambling for air support.
All units, Get ready.
we have an incoming threat from Pakistan.
Scramble jets, Alpha, Bravo,
Charlie and Delta.
There is a requirement of air support on the LOC.
All units, Scramble, Scramble, Scramble.
We need all pilots in the air.
Go for it.
Rudra, come in.
Go for Rudra.
Rudra, it's time.
Today, don't let your emotions get
the better of you.
Trust me, I won't let you down.
Rudra, Scramble,
Scramble, Scramble.
Climb 10000 feet and maintain bearing 3 2 0.
Your target, eight enemy aircrafts.
Enemy is holding attack formation.
Enemy aircraft profile, medium.
Identification, hostile.
Your mission is to intercept the enemy
aircraft and push them back.
Use of weapons is authorised.
God speed.
Hammer, they are eight and
we are just two.
If we fall back, they will enter our border
But if we proceed straight ahead...
it will be death.
Ours?
Or theirs?
I'm sorry yaar...
I couldn't take you on a date.
Are you kidding me?
We are taking down the enemy together,
what could be a better date than this?
Battle formation.
This is the Indian Air Force.
Your planes are about to enter
into restricted air space.
Turn around or you will be shot down.
Turn around.
Or else you won't be alive.
Brother, I literally said
the same thing in English , didn't I?
Take down both of them.
Ma'am, the radio has been intercepted.
It's the same F16s.
Rudra, what's your position?
One minute to target.
It's Shaheen.
Oh My God!
All fighters, you have permission
to engage.
Shoot to kill.
I repeat, shoot to kill.
Hammer...
hold your vector.
Copy that.
15 seconds to kill range.
Get the jammer out.
Turn... Located.
Prepare the missiles.
Roger that.
Turn... Located.
Only 5 seconds to hill range.
All Pakistani fighters, weapons-free.
Fire!
They have fired.
I repeat, they have fired.
- We are going to die today.
- Yes, definitely...
But It's not us who's going to die.
Commencing evasive manoeuvre.
Launching flares now
Missile on my right.
They are running away.
Shoot them down.
Don't let any Hindustani escape,
kill them.
Why are you so passionate
about killings and death?
- Learn to love.
- Shaheen 1 check for bogies...
Shaheen 1 check for...
What the f...
Sherdil 1 come in.
Sherdil 1 come in.
Now tell me, what's the score?
India 2 , Pakistan - 0
Come, let's go and finish them.
All fighters, engage.
Weapons, free. Weapons, free.
India is attacking.
Turn around and push them back.
Fast.
We are surrounded.
We need backup.
Eva there are no bombers here. All are fighters.
Then where are the bombers are coming from?
Check it.
Copy that.
AEWACS focus the radar near
Srinagar sector.
Ghaznavi 1.
The path of the target is very clear.
We will reach target in 5 minutes.
Sir, in this contingent there are 2 bomber aircrafts
and 8 escort fighters
Which are coming towards us.
What could be their target?
Aahana, trace their path. Quick.
Sir.
They won't send such a big contingent
without any fixed target.
It doesn't make any sense.
According to the intelligence report,
NEHRU is their target.
We will be at drop point in 2 minutes
How will we figure this out?
There are umpteen number of schools
and hospitals and other public
utilities of this name.
It's not NEHRU, sir.
It's the Jawahar tunnel,
the choke point of Kashmir.
If they destroy this tunnel,
in this season particularly,
it could cut off Kashmir
from the rest of India.
Then their militants and sleeper
cells could cause havoc over there.
Aahana, the terrorists were aiming
for this and now this aircraft too.
Sir, as long as they have escorts,
we can't reach their bombers.
We need a whole squadron.
ETA 4 minutes.
How far is the backup?
5 minutes.
Shit.
Everyone, head south.
Bombers approaching.
We need at least 10 fighters
to intercept their planes.
We don't need 10, 1 fighter is enough.
Project Vajra.
I'll fly low and hit the bombers
from below.
Rudra, we have not tested
Project Vajra yet.
You won't survive this.
Sir, you know there's no other way.
Bombers can be intercepted
by hiding under the radars
Eva, I know I'm not a warrior.
But you are.
Take the bloody call.
Rudra, do what you think is right.
But do not let those bastards enter
my country.
Copy that.
I need backup.
Rudra, I;m coming.
Viper, I'm getting him towards you.
You Take him down.
Rudrat, bandit at 270
I'm out of flares.

Commencing operation Vajra.
He has gone mad.
Project Vajra is a go.
Kabir, this is for you.
Stop him.
Someone shoot him down.
Sir, he's very close to the ground.
Radar can't detect him.
I don't care. Fire, fire.
You're all good for nothing.
Going down. Switching to guns.
Rudra, you have just 30 seconds
to intercept the bombers.
Copy that.
How can he fly so low?
We are in position.
Laser locked.
Primary target NEHRU.
Rudra!
I need 10 more seconds.
Dropping bombs in 3...
3...2... 1... Fire!
Impact on target, three minutes.
Ma'am, they have launched the bombs.
Eva, we can still shoot down
the targeting aircraft
and destroy the bombs.
Targeting aircraft Bearing 120 range.
100 km.Heading east at 450 knots.
Got it.
Shit. Shit. Shit...
Rudra!
Rudra, come in.
Rudra, do you copy?
Rudra?
If it continues the same way,
this will be the end of us.
You always ask me
if I don't get scared ever...
I get scared...
that I might not return
and might never see you again.
But as long as you are on the radar,
What will happen to me?
But in case, something happens to me,
remember this wing commander,
Aahana Gill...
It was an honour
that I served with you.
That I served for my country.
What could be greater glory
than this for a soldier!?
Ma'am, backup is here.
Confirm, all fighters safe.
Two jets maintain CAP.
Victory is ours.
Rudra to Eva.
Rudra to Eva.
Confirm Joy.
That's it.
Wow.Congratulations.
Hope I'm not too late for the party.
No. You are right on time.
Do you see a legend now?
Now I can, sir.
Yash?
Ma'am... Ma'am...
our tracker has been activated
on the crash site.
It's moving.
Yash!
Sir.
How's the situation Ajit?
One of our planes crashed
into their territory.
They have taken the pilot
into their custody.
What's our follow-up action?
We are in talks with
their foreign ministry
but we have not received
any concrete answer sir.
We don't have many options, sir.
Bakshi...
We are with you, sir.
No matter what your decision is,
we are ready for it.
No matter how much I want
the people of this country
to live in peace without
a war-like atmosphere,
we are being dragged into the same
war-like atmosphere again and again.
Sir, your orders?
Tell them that if they want peace
to sustain,
they must return our soldier
as soon as possible.
Sir, what if they don't agree?
Then you have full freedom on my behalf.
You may take any appropriate action
but I want our pilot to return
to our country by tomorrow.
Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind.
- Jai Hind.
