The Calm Before The Storm

[eagle screeching]
[Kashmiri music playing]
'Team one, hold your positions.'
'Roger, sir!'
[Kashmiri music playing]
Team two in position.
'Eyes on target.
Target locked.'
Please come.
Let's take a photo.
They have surrounded us, Sartaj.
We are in the middle of a wedding.
There are women and children here.
This is an Indian Army operation.
[Gautam] 'We have
received information'
'that a few terrorists
are hiding in your house.'
'We have cordoned off your house.'
You have no choice,
but to surrender them.
'Because of these terrorists,
your and your family's lives'
'will be in danger,
which we don't want.'
Bilawal!
Do you think we'll be safe
if we stay here?
Shall we go, brother?
This is our last warning.
Position.
All teams, engage at will.
[gunshot]
Move

[bullets firing]
[helicopter whirring]
'Target two down.'
'Four kills confirmed.'
'Sir, this is Bilawal.'
That's what I call
a golden jackpot.

[Kids muttering] Allah is the only God.
And Muhammad

[door closing]
[door opening]
- Namaste.
-[Abu Hafeez] 'Waleikum-salam.'
- Namrata Joshi.
-[Namrata] 'Yes.'
You are a sharp reporter,
aren't you?
It's fragile
The situation in Kashmir
is very fragile.
It's a pity
that the public
has to take to the streets
to get the government's attention.
After all the difficulties we've faced,
our only hope is
that we now have an army
for Independent Kashmir
which will fight
for the people's rights.
If the government thinks
that they can scare us at gunpoint
then, they are highly mistaken.
Because, until the people of Kashmir
get freedom
we won't stop.
[Namrata] 'Are you referring to
Jaish-e-Mohammed?'
It is believed
that Jaish-e-Mohammed
is led by the ISI
We only follow the teachings
of Allah.
And that's why, every Muslim
is supporting our cause.
They are with us
in this battle for freedom.
What makes you feel
that all Muslims
are supporting you?
Will spreading terror
serve your purpose?
Our purpose will be served when we succeed
in removing the Indian Army
from the land of Kashmir.
Do you think it's that easy
to defeat the Indian Army?
If your army
kills one of our soldiers
then we will kill
a hundred soldiers of the Indian Army.
And that will be not ours, but Allah's
wrath delivered upon the Indian Army.
- You mean
- That's enough!
I've said what I wanted to.
[phone vibrating]
[Shailesh] 'Your phone is ringing.'
Good morning, Shailesh.
Get into the pool.
Ever since college, you've sat
by the poolside every morning.
- Look at me, I can't swim.
But the water is great. - Yeah yeah..
What happened?
Are you scared
of getting into the water? Huh?
It's better if you and your bureaucracy
don't talk about getting scared.
- Long night?
- Yeah. How can you get sleep
when your hands are tied?
What's your problem?
You are the PM's blue-eyed boy!
You can convince him
for anything.
But I'm helpless.
What do I do?
It's important to have the support
of bureaucrats like you
in a democracy.
This isn't the time
to get aggressive.
The SAARC summit is coming up
and so is Sunita madam's
UN trip.
- Patience, my friend.
- This is precisely our problem.
Do you know that?
We are always on the back foot.
And people mistake
our empathy for weakness.
You know what,
you are a
a one track pony.
You have the same solution
for every problem.
We're trying to open
new channels for peace talks
and you come to me
every morning
asking for additional
special forces for Kashmir.
Hey Have you all collectively
lost your mind?
First, we impose curfew.
Then we withdraw it.
Now the people who pelt stones
will decide
if curfew will be imposed
or not.
God damn it!
Wow! Very good!
It's a bloody joke, man!
Who the hell is in control here?
Fifty bloody days of curfew
in Kashmir!
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
Those who love peace,
must learn to organise
as effectively
as those who love war.
Yeah
Is that original?
Martin Luther King.
It sounds great.
But there's a problem.
We are talking about
avoiding the war.
But the truth is, my friend
the war has already begun!
Hi, Cutiepie. How are you?
Don't you dare come back!
First, I'll pull out your nails
and then, I'll gouge your eyes out.
[Niharika] 'Later, I'll'
Stop watching Game of Thrones,
baby.
Wait and watch, our daughter
will turn out violent like you.
By the way,
how is our angel?
- She is sleeping peacefully.
- So cute!
Please tilt the camera.
I want to see her.
Why should I?
If you really want to see her
come home.
Please!
Let me see her.
Just look in the mirror.
She looks exactly like you.
[Niharika] 'Say hi to dad.'
She looks exactly like you,
not me. Thankfully.
Thankfully, right?
As long as she has my brains, right?
Sure, why not?
So that both of you leave me
and join the army.
And I'll be left all alone.
- Oh, no Fk!
- Raunak Raun
- Congratulations, sir!
- Thank you.
But why have we stopped?
- Jai Hind, sir!
- Jai Hind.
- The road is blocked, sir.
- Why? What happened?
How long have they been at it?
It's been four to five hours.
[Gautam] 'Good afternoon, sir.'
We are preparing to welcome
the son-in-law of Uri, Major Gautam.
'But it seems like the in-laws
are mad at me.'
Mad at you? Why?
- The convoy has been blocked
at Baramulla. - Okay.
Let me get the GOC on line.
And stay right there
- until I sort out the situation.
-[Gautam] 'Sir!'
- In Baramulla.
-[Madhav] 'How many people are there?'
[Satish] 'Perhaps, 30 to 40 people.'
There is one gypsy
and two 3-tonners in the convoy.
Pull back the convoy.
We can't afford
another confrontation at any cost.
Sir, with due respects.
If we stop an army convoy today
then in the future, all our movement
in Kashmir can get restricted.
[Shailesh] 'This will give out
a wrong message.'
This will be a victory
for the enemy.
Shailesh.
No more tear gas
or pellet guns.
None of these solutions
will work anymore.
It has made matters worse.
Sir, but stopping the movements of
the army might set a wrong trend.
Satish, the movement of the convoy
is an operational decision
and I leave it to you.
But this time,
if something does go wrong
then I won't be answerable
to the PM.
Don't forget that we're
the ruling party in Kashmir now.
And a ruling party can only stay
in power
till they have the support
of the public.
-[Rastogi] 'How far behind is your company?'
- Sir, it's eight hours behind.
I'm just 30 kilometres
away from Uri.
The NSA and Defence Secretary
have left the decision to us.
You're the man on the ground,
Gautam.
Handle it.
But keep in mind
that we can't take the blame
for another confrontation.
[Gautam] 'Roger, sir.
I'll be careful.'
- All the best.
- Jai Hind.
[Sahiba] Our son is innocent.'
He is only 15 years old.
Please take this money back.
We don't want anything.
Your son, Sohail came to me.
He said that he wants
to be a Mujahid.
I said, "Sure".
I trained him.
I took good care of him.
And now that it is time
to send him to the border
you are asking me to not send him?
Now it's too late, sister.
Your boy is a son of God now.
- Please show my son mercy.
- Who am I to show mercy?
Only God can show mercy.
Wahab, call her son here.
Sohail!
Shabbir, you should be happy.
Your son sacrificed his life
for the sake of Kashmir.
Explain to her that
her son is now ready
to sacrifice his life.
Ask her to stop crying,
and be happy.
-[Sohail] 'Greetings!'
- Greetings!
[Sahiba] 'My son! My darling!'
[Abu Hafeez] 'They have come
to take you away from your home.'
- They want you to go back with them.
- Let's go.
Let's go home.
Come, my dear. Let's go.
Wahab.
When people come in the way
of Allah's work
what do we do with them, Sohail?
What are you doing, Sohail?
What are you doing?
Huh?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
- Sohail!
- Sohail, don't do this.
Don't do this.
- In the name of Allah!
- Allah is the greatest!
We don't kill our own.
But the ones who create obstacles for
Allah's work
no longer remain our people.
Sohail
Sohail
Sohail
Sohail
Sohail
[door opening]
[Assailant] 'Hands up!'
I've waited so long to see you, pal.
Come here.
Give me a hug.
How have you been?
Good to see you.
- How are you?
- Good.
- How are you?
- Good.
You've come after a long time.
Won't you join me for a drive?
- Any time.
- Come, let's go.
- Let's go. Come on.
- Let's go.
[Gautam] 'Wow, Mr. Sood.'
This place hasn't changed a bit.
I'm impressed!
I've arranged a feast for 200
people for your welcome.
Thank you.
- Mr. Bhairon Singh!
- Sir.
Take over the canteen inventory, account
units and medical supplies tomorrow.
Okay, sir.
Check the number of vehicles in the M
and their condition.
[Gautam] 'Jeeps, trucks, ambulances.
Get details of everything.'
[Bhairon] 'Sir.'
- Sood.
- Hmm?
Don't you think these tents
are very close to the fence?
[Sood] 'Which army are you in, pal?'
I'm sure you know
that different departments
have been playing ping pong with
the proposal for additional barracks.
- Bhairon Singh.
- Sir.
I want the entire area cleaned up.
It will be done, sir.
Yes.
Go for Sood.
Since when?
Okay, I'm coming.
Listen, we got to go.
There's a problem.
- What happened?
- Abdul Ansari, Ex-JeM
has been working with us
for the last one year.
We've had four successful
operations because of him.
He's been missing
for 48 hours.
[indistinct chatter]
[Abu Hafeez] 'Wahab.'
- Get the boys ready.
- Okay, sir.
What do we do about Abdul?
We don't know what he has told
the Indian Army
and he won't talk.
This is the last time
I'm asking you.
What have you told them?
Allah is the only God.
Allah won't listen
to your prayers.
There's no place for
infidels in Allah's world.
You are the infidel,
and not me, Abu Hafeez.
You sacrifice children
in the name of Allah.
Your death is near.
You'll die, Abu Hafeez.
You'll definitely die.
Everyone has to die.
-[Abdul] 'Allah is the only God.'
- But your turn
is today, Abdul.
Sohail!
- In the name of Allah
- Allah is the greatest.
Congratulations!
You have been anointed
with this blood.
Congratulations!
[Rastogi] 'So, you think
he's been compromised?'
It's possible, Sir.
Sir, we were given information
about tonight
that a group of four militants
will infiltrate from here.
From here
If he's been compromised, either
they might change their plans
or we're in for some fireworks.
Either way,
we need to be prepared.
We are, sir.
Sir, I'll lead a team
and I'll put stops here,
here and here.
You deserve a final explosion
before leaving Uri.
Absolutely, sir.
- Best of luck.
- Thank you.
- I'll go with you.
- Just relax, pal.
Anyway, you'll be managing
everything after a couple of days.
You just keep my drink ready.
OK?
We have very little time.
Check the arrangements.
Excuse me, uncle.
What's your name?
Sir, it's Ismail Fayyaz.
- You work here as a gardener,
don't you? - Yes, sir.
All this grass should be cut
- before the grand dinner tomorrow.
- Okay, sir.
And listen.
If you need
get a few more men to help you.
Okay, Sir.
Okay, listen.
Inform the security
[Bhairon] 'that he might get
a few more men with him.'
'Got it? Don't forget.'
Hakum, Sohail, Asad, Sarbaaz.
- Are you all okay?
- Yes, sir.
Many of our Mujahideen
have been martyred
in this war.
Now is the right time.
This is our best chance to win Kashmir.
The people are with us.
Allah has selected you
for this new battle.
- Are you all ready?
- Yes, sir.
-[Wahab] 'Go get ready, boys.'
- Sure, sir
Divide them into two groups.
[Abu Hafeez] 'Four juniors
in one group.'
'And the four seniors
in another group.'
Will the juniors manage by themselves?
It's their first time.
If their army knows
that we are coming
then we will surely go.
[owls hooting]
[Rishabh] 'Eyes on target.
Bravo Charlie team on standby.'
On your six.
There's some activity
going on here, sir.
[Rastogi] 'Sher Khan, watch your six,
there's some activity.'
'Move East
Move East 200 metres.'
'Target has changed position.'
Roger.
Move
Stop!
Avtar Singh, binoculars.
[Rishabh] 'There!
I see some movement.'
'Boys, set it up.'
According to Abdul's information
there should be three more people.
There they come.
Boys, the first one is my target.
Avtar Singh, the second one
is yours.
- Shankar, the third one
will be yours. - Yes, sir.
- The fourth one is yours, Umar.
- Okay, sir.
- Targets locked?
- Locked.
On my count, boys.
[Rishabh] 'Three, two, one.'
Mission status,
four confirmed kills.
I repeat, four confirmed kills.
- Good job!
- Thank you, sir.
[Rastogi] 'Return to base.
Your treat awaits.'
If the government thinks
that they can scare us
at gunpoint
then, they are highly mistaken.
[Pankaj] 'What's the matter, Namrata?
You look quite stressed out.'
You are not looking very happy.
'It's a pity'
Why did Abu Hafeez have to
do this interview? Why now?
He wants his thoughts
to reach more people.
Nowadays, everyone
needs publicity.
Even if you're a terrorist
organisation, right?
But the way
in which he's talking
it seems more of a threat
than an interview.
Namrata, these terrorists
threaten us everyday.
That's their job.
What's the big deal?
'We only follow
the teachings of Allah.'
This had the feel
of an immediate threat.
'Every Muslim
is supporting our cause'
Yeah! And an empty one at that,
if at all
Come on, cheer up.
You've done a good job.
If your army
kills one of our men
then we'll kill
a hundred soldiers of the Indian Army.
And that will be not ours, but our Allah's wrath
delivered upon the Indian Army.'
Ismail uncle?
