Satellite Shankar

Anwar, what are you doing? Stop it.

Stop that radio.

I told you to just stop it, Anwar.

The Subedar is going on leave tomorrow.

It's his sister's wedding. I thought I'd put on a song

and lift your mood. - Nice.

What can you do, buddy?

I am going home on a holiday.

But there is no excitement as I used to feel.

My family has ruined my mood by their constant tiffs.

Mother doesn't call.

I wonder what's going on.

Nobody understands an army man's issues.

They don't get it. He comes and goes.

The family doesn't get it.

You're absolutely right, sir. - Shut up.

Why are you so disappointed, Jeetu Singh?

Can't help it, Commander.

You're going for your sister's wedding. - I don't want to.

Where's Satellite?

Satellite! - Hey, Satellite!

Satellite.

I can hear you, sir.

I'll get the job done. - He's here.

All set! No tension.

All ready? - Yes.

Welcome to 42nd Company Lotus

and all my army brothers.

Clap for me, guys.

Where can I take you all today?

You tell us, where are we going?

To our officer's lovely village...

Wagah. - Correct.

Wagah! Where to? - Wagah!

Do you see that?

Sugarcane fields and that's not all.

Sugarcane fields spread in miles. Can you see?

How do you find these fields?

Very nice. - These are the fields in which

the officer ran to prepare to get into the army.

So right. - Hey, you.

The most beautiful house in Wagah is decked like a bride today.

All the joy in the world is in that house.

There is a wedding in the offing. Something must happen.

Do you hear the drums play?

Introduce us to your family now.

Let's go, boys!

Greetings!

Greetings!

Here you are, my friend.

Sister-in-law!

She is the best! My sister-in-law.

She is the mastermind in this house.

She is the one who married my brother.

And this one is your sister-in-law.

She is my wife.

Sir, let's have a bout.

Okay, boy, let's go.

So happy!

Whoa!

Come on! - You're good.

Look at this one!

What are you looking at?

You look gorgeous.

Let me not jinx you. You were so young, now you'll leave.

Greetings! - Greetings.

This is so good!

Where is she?

Here she is! How are you?

How are you, grandma?

Give me more.

Alpha seeking 112. Commander, Lotus Post.

Over! Alpha seeking 112.

Alpha seeking 112. Commander Lotus Post. Over!

Commander Lotus post online, sir. - Commander.

In light of growing enemy aggression in the valley,

all the pre-approved leaves stand cancelled until further review.

Sir, I have sent 3 leave applications from my company.

If you could only consider Subedar Jeetu Singh,

it would be good, sir. Over.

It's the army, Commander. Sorry.

And there's a definite info of aggression on Lotus post tonight.

So, deploy men accordingly. Over!

Lotus, 185, noted, sir. - Over and out.

We hammer away all year long.

You could have stayed out! My sister's wedding is 2 days away.

Why did you have to do this?

Sir, this isn't happening.

Let's burn them down.

Be careful!

Lotus 185 has to patrol more. We will stay on posts.

I can't leave more than 2 riflemen at 74.

Anwar. - Yes, sir.

Shankar. - Yes, sir.

Can you manage this? - Yes, sir.

It's a nearby post. It'll take about 5 hours. - Don't worry, sir.

We will punch them if they do any mischief.

Tiger 42.

Let's go. - Yes!

The captain said, there were 3 leave applications from our unit.

One was Jeetu sir, one was me, who was the third?

Me. - You?

Yes. Why do you need leave?

I don't have a wife.

But I do have a mother. - A mother handles every brother!

Right, you're missing your wife.

My brother miss me more than she misses me.

There's no one here. Listen... - Here, it's on.

There's no movement to be seen on the other side.

I think, either this post of theirs is vacant

or the boys are good for nothing.

Yes, sir. I'll check and update you.

Keep a back-up ready. If my guess is right,

our flag will be waved at their post at the crack of dawn.

They are up to no good.

Let's watch out. Go ahead.

Hey, you fools!

You didn't let me even eat. You started as soon as I came.

No, friend. They might be in a hurry to go to Allah.

No, it seems they are too hungry.

Come on, everyone.

Careful, Sajan.

Watch out!

What's that?

"Satellite."

What the heck?

Oh, God!

The one who speaks His name is blessed.

Wait.

Are you okay?

Sir, at 114, there was firing from both the sides.

We killed about seven to eight soldiers of theirs.

But`I regret to inform, we lost 4 men too.

You told me that the post was vacant. - I was wrong, sir.

We were 14 and they were a minimum of 30,

But if we count the corpses,

the victory is ours. - Jackpot!

Keep achieving such feats. Good job!

Let's get to work. Just keep me updated. Thank you.

Jai Hind, sir.

Anwar got hit by a bullet.

Shankar has got some injuries on the lower end. - Oh!

At ease.

Well done, my boys. You have made not only your battalion

but also the armed forces so very proud. -Thank you, sir.

How are you, Anwar? How are you doing? - Fine, sir.

Sir, the bullet hit me on the rebound. Not much damage.

I was merely assisting.

Satellite Shankar did it all.

I heard. - Sir.

How are you doing, naughty boy? - Very fit, sir. Thanks.

Tell me someting, which satellite

lets you catch all kinds of languages? - I don't, sir.

I catch on to the feelings.

The correct feelings make you ignore the language.

If you ask anyone in Rajputana about the KPG rifle group

they will tell you how great a cook he was.

A Tamilian who could cook Pan Indian food better than the natives.

He was my dad. - Okay.

He was under the command of Sardar Gurubaksh Singh.

He was such a fan, he married his daughter to him.

Oh! - The Punjabi lady is my mom.

He was in Nagaland when I was born and then

the north, the south, east, west. I grew up all over India.

So my country is in my blood since childhood.

So proud to have you boys in my battalion.

By the way, the doctor recommends 8 days of rest.

8 days? I don't want it.

I am hurt, but I'm fit. See?

Shankar. - Yes.

Shankar. - Take it easy. - Sir.

Sir, I'm fit. - Sit.

Sit.

I need men, but I won't drag my injured soldiers to battle.

Rest here for 8 days. I will meet you at the base, Monday morning.

Sir. A request, sir. - Yes.

Sir, I want to go home. I just have to rest.

I can do it here or on a train seat.

I must do something important at home. - Where's home?

Right here. Pollachi. - It's Tamil Nadu-Kerala border.

It will take 3 days to get there. - 3 to go, 3 to return.

It's half a day's work. I will be back on the 8th day, and the base.

What is so important you must go for half a day?

My mom lives alone. So the fact is

she watches TV all day.

So, she has a film on her eyes. - Cataract.

Yes, sir. The doctor said she needs surgery.

I promised to get it done in the next holiday. If I don't...

She may go blind. - Sit, Shankar.

Other soldiers have people at home, who are sick.

They have marriages, kids' being born. I canceled all leaves.

No, you said, 8 days, so...

I thought of it. As you wish.

I understand. As you wish, sir.

It's up to you.

Rifleman KPJ Shankar. - Sir.

I want you in action at base next Monday, 29th morning.

Yes, sir. - I want a soldier's promise.

Sir, I will be at base on Monday the 29th. Soldier's promise.

Are you sure? - Yes.
