'Eagle Aggressor, surface winds 27010 knots.'

'27010 knots, got it.'

'Aggressor Control. Eagle formation. Permission to take off.'

'Eagle Aggressor, clear to take off.'

'Aggressor Control, this is Eagle 1 calling.'

Taken pictures of coordinates 103.00825 NW.

Turning on next coordinates. Over.

Eagle 1, this is Aggressor Control. - Co-ordinates confirmed.

You've reached the enemy's air-space. Clear to proceed. Next coordinates.

Piper warning, 4.5 NW. Take evasive action. Over.

Piper 2! - Hell!

Mayday! I'm hit. - Eagle 1! Check engine parameters.

Aggressor Control, losing height.

Eagle 1 eject! - Sir, I feel I have vital pictures.

I'll try taking height and gliding in. - Sid, don't be silly.

You'll be unable to eject.

One never knows how tough it is without trying. See you all.

Base to Eagle 1. You're losing control, eject!

Sir, Eagle 1 is not on radar. - Eagle 1, this is Aggressor!

Can you hear me?

Eagle 1, can you hear me?!

Sir look there. - What is it Pande?

Sammy, will you keep boxing or come and congratulate today's hero?

There's celebration outside. Sid has..

He has got back a missile-hit aircraft and become a hero?!

First ask him why he was hit by the missile.

Dude, had you been in that plane instead of me..

..your remains would be lying in the enemy territory. Why I was hit indeed!

Take a walk. - C'mon guys!

You take a walk! - Guys!

Come on. Grow up! Are you enemies from your previous birth?

Daggers always drawn! You keep boxing. And as for you...

..I had told you to go home after the debriefing.

Aunty must be worried. Go on, both of you. Carry on.

Hence I didn't want him to join the Air Force.

Your turn. - Half my life the father kept me worried,

The remaining half the son will do the same.

Someday I'll get a heart attack. But who cares about me!

I'll get it.

Hello? - Hi darling!

Hi sweety!

Enjoying your vacation at home without me?

No, just came back from a sortie. - Are we meeting?

Yes, let's meet. - Sure?

Yes.

Ok say, 'I love you!' - Not now.

Please! - I can't!

Please! This isn't fair!

I can't say it now. - Please do!

Understand, I can't say it now!

But you do love me? - Absolutely, ok?

Ok.

Bye! - Bye!

What? Your turn.

Whoever she was, must be wanting you to say something nice.

Why didn't you say it? She was girlfriend number...?

Dad, open-hearted people don't keep a track of the numbers!

Really? Son, your heart is more like a garden.

God alone knows what's happening! Mend your ways.

If your mother gets wind of it, we'll both go down.

She'll say 'It's father who spoilt the son!'

Anyway.

How crucial are the photographs that you've brought back? Any guesses?

I don't know. But I feel something vital will turn up.

The enemy's activities are increasing. The rest is up to the top brass.

Siddharth has done a wonder.

Seeing the state of his aircraft..

..the ground crew were surprised to see him alive!

He's a great pilot sir. A really smart kid.

I have complete faith in his instincts.

Once the photographs taken by him are developed..

..we'll certainly find something vital, I'm absolutely sure.

Activity on the border is increasing. If we get some proof from these pictures..

..we shall get a free hand to prepare for war.

Tensions are rising in Kashmir sir.

This battle will surely be decisive.

I had a word at the headquarters.

A team of experts are coming from Delhi to analyze these photographs.

Let's hope for the best. - Right sir!

News has come from Srinagar that photos were clicked by their pilot.

They'll chalk out their plans based on those pictures.

But how will they plan for what they aren't aware of?

As in?

Our smartest agent Fateh Afghani has already crossed the border.

Shankaracharya, get down.

Welcome back buddy! - What?! How do you do pal?

I was fine till you hit me! What do you eat madam?

Shut up! Stop behaving like girls.

By the way, hope you're in the mood to lose in squash this afternoon.

Forget it! We have a briefing at 1500 hours, no time to relax.

Shall we go? - Go?

Give me the keys, I'm driving.

I'd first like to congratulate Flying Officer Siddharth Singh..

Oh no! Not again. - ..for risking his life to bring these photographs safely.

Thank you sir!

Fellow officers, you're aware that..

..the clouds of war are fast gathering.

I wish to remind all of you once again..

..that the onus of guarding the skies of Kashmir is on us.

Hence our air base will be..

..one of the enemy's first targets.

This is the latest map of the air base.

Here's the entry, the quarter guard..

..runway, control room and radar.

Zahoor. - Sir?

Arrange my entry in here at the earliest.

Yes.

Tahir?

The weapons are already on their way and will reach us by Friday.

Charlie, I tried the cobra manoeuvre for the first time.

Gary was behind me. I went up, killed throttle and Gary was ahead.

I locked the missile from behind. Poor Gary! Hunter became the hunted!

Cobra manoeuvre on Mirage at that speed! The entire frame must have shook!

Yes it did shake, but I..

What's he upto for so long?

Sorting his girlfriends' photo album. Forget him, you continue.

Sir, your beers. - Thanks a lot!

Hey Sammy!

Wow!

What?

Don't look. You've just returned to base. Why invite trouble!

Who's she pal? At least introduce us.

You heard that? He wants to be introduced to Angie.

What are you having? - Some beer!

May I offer the lady a drink?

Not a hard drink, but I'm sure you can have juice or something.

He's dead!

May I know which hard drinks do you take?

Me? I have tequila.

So what are you doing there? Come here.

Hi! Flying Officer Kunal Tiwari.

Flight Lieutenant Anjana Rawat.

Nice...name!

Please sit. - Thanks.

Ramesh, tequila.

Let it be Angie!

The one who stops drinking first pays for all the drinks, okay?

I like that! Sure!

Cheers! - Cheers!

Gone!

There he goes! Time to take him home.

'Manly hard drink!' You want to arm-wrestle?

Ramesh. - Yes ma'am?

Bill this to his account.

Take care of the guy while I drop the lady home. - Kunal!

Drop me home? Do you think I'm drunk?

Help him up! - Not at all.

Get a hold on yourself. Steady now. - Kunal, are you okay?

That's enough, now let's go home. Why did you have to do all this?

He's very heavy! - Kunal! - Had Vishal been there he would've..

..made a poem on his weight! - When is our poet arriving?

You complained that after the wedding..

..work won't give us time for our honeymoon..

..I've got you to such a place, where work or no work..

..the honeymoon will never end!

Wrong. When did I complain?

I won't complain till my last breath!

'You speak of your last breath.'

'I see you everyday and I breathe my last everyday!'

Superb! That was great.

When poetry echoed in the valleys of Kashmir I knew you've arrived.

Welcome! - How are you, Charlie?

Absolutely fit!

Hi Nupur! - Hi!

How are you doing? Welcome! - I'm fine.

Nupur, you've known both of us since childhood.

Why did you choose this duffer?

I tossed a coin and you lost the toss, what could I do?!

Oh yes, I did lose the toss.

Enough! Pick up the bags and come!

Excuse me, just a minute. Flight Lieutenant Vishal Dev?

Yes. - Please come with us. You are under arrest.

What? - Is this a joke? There must be a misunderstanding.

No. We have definite proof against him.

What are the charges?

Treason! Conspiracy to sell Air Force secrets to the enemy.

What?!

No!

Yes, it's true.

I wanted lots of money. I lost my senses.

It was difficult initially.

As the amount went up, so did the greed.

It was a mistake.

I never expected this of you.

All my life I had more faith in you than myself.

And what was her fault?

What should she do? Tell her!

Nupur..

I know that I deceived myself along with you.

Please forgive me.

I'm sorry. I love you.

Nupur listen!

Nupur, get a hold on yourself please.

If you fall apart like this how will you deal with life?

What do I do?

Charlie..

..you know I fought with my folks to marry Vishal.

What do I do now?

Whom do I turn to? Whom do I meet?

Nupur, despite everything, you're a member of the Air Force family.
