In a brazen attack on Fortune Hospital in Mumbai, last night,
terrorists went on a shooting spree
and killed multiple people, that include hospital staff,
patients and security guards.
Security agencies are yet to release the exact number of casualties.
A lot of casualties have been reported.
It's quite shocking, actually.
According to our sources at least 18 people have died,
including the four assailants at the Fortune Hospital massacre.
What is the ATS doing? What is the NIA doing?
What are we doing right now to ensure that such things and such incidents
do not happen in my city again?
I request our honorable leader, the Prime Minister of India,
to order an immediate, decisive and fitting surgical strike
upon our enemy again.
And make it clear, once and for all, that new India
will not take it lying down.
Hello?
Hello!
Is this Mohammad's shop?
Yes, tell me.
May I speak to Meherunnisa?
Meherunnisa?
Who's calling?
I am a relative.
Okay.
The landlord asked her to vacate a year ago
because she couldn't pay rent.
I think she left after that.
Do you know where she went?
No. I haven't heard from her since then.
Any information at all? Please, sir.
Well, she always said
that her son would get her out of the village.
Maybe that happened.
Maybe she's in the Gulf now with her son.
As-salaam 'alaykum, brother!
How's everything?
Have you eaten yet?
Just tell me what's to be done next!
Am I going to meet Basharat or not?
I don't know, brother. I have no idea about this.
So you came here for some fresh air?
I just came to check on you.
We wanted to ensure that you are fine.
"We?"
-Who is "we?" -Don't ask questions.
Just do what you're told. Those are the orders from above.
Whose order?
I don't know who the fuck you are!
Or what the fuck I'm doing in Kashmir!
Every day, a new man comes and gives me new instructions.
Nobody knows what the fuck is going on!
Come on, get out of here!
Wait. What are you doing, bhai?
Get the fuck out of here!
And tell whoever is giving orders to speak to me directly.
And if it's Faizan bhai issuing orders, then tell him I want to know.
I want to listen to his voice.
And I need all the details of this mission.
What do I need to do, when do I do it, everything!
Saloni, I've worked with many people,
but I've never met anyone like Pasha.
He thought of nothing but his duty.
First, those three innocents were killed, and now Pasha!
Come on, Srikant! You can't blame yourself for everything!
I can't just sit here and watch!
Hello, sir.
Yes, Srikant.
-How are things there, sir? -Don't ask.
TASC is on the verge of being shut down.
Sir, I think we should be on high alert.
Moosa has been sent for a special purpose.
And he is also a chemical weapons expert.
I think they're planning something big.
I've issued a red alert across all cities in India.
Sir, I've got some information that a few more are involved,
-there's a whole team in Kashmir... -Srikant, let us handle this.
If I need you, I'll tell you.
You need to stay away from the field.
Take care, Srikant.
Talpade, what the fuck is happening there?
God damn it! It's just one problem after another.
TASC is going to face an inquiry.
-Any news on the hospital attack? -Nothing.
It seems like it was a new sleeper cell. It wasn't even on our radar.
-Did you meet Pasha's family? -I met his mother.
His father didn't even see his body.
His mother wants to have him buried in his hometown.
Talpade,
what about Moosa's mother?
What?
That bastard was talking about meeting his mom.
Do you think he was telling us the truth about his mother?
I don't think that bastard even has a mother!
I don't know why, I think he was being truthful about this.
I don't know.
I can't understand what the hell is going on!
Find out.
-Find out. -Okay.
Hello.
Hi. What happened?
I got a blood test done. But nothing has shown up.
I got it done again.
I don't know why I'm getting worried now.
-The fever isn't going. -Isn't your wife there?
Isn't anybody there?
Nobody's here right now. I am all by myself for a few days.
-Do you need any help? -No, no, it's okay. It's fine.
I'll manage. I just fed her some noodles.
Arvind, your daughter's not well and you gave her noodles? Are you mad?
-Hi. -How come you're...
I mean, come, come.
Hi, Rhea!
I am Suchi.
Are you hungry?
Yes?
Will you have rasam rice? Please! You'll get many chips, too!
Okay. I'll make it in a jiffy.
-Arvind, where's the coriander? -Just a second.
Here.
-Should I cut it for you? -Just leave it.
Where are the curry leaves?
-Curry leaves... Here. -Thanks.
And where's the garlic?
Here.
How stale is this?
The maid chopped it just yesterday!
Then, give it to your maid.
This is your chip,
this is your rasam rice.
Come on, open your mouth, open your mouth.
Very good.
When Dhriti was younger, she was just like this.
And now she acts like she's my mum.
Why did I not think about this chips idea? I think it's super tasty.
And thanks for coming.
Thank you.
By the way, do you feel like working?
Yeah, sure. With beer?
We shouldn't emphasize the AI point too much.
I mean, AI is good, but eventually it is artificial intelligence. So...
Yeah, yeah. So, it can never replace human intelligence.
-Yes. -Got it.
I'll finish it off later.
Are you going to finish this?
-I'm not a beer person. -May I?
Thank you.
So...
Rhea's mum is at...
It's a long story.
If I talk about that, it will spoil our mood.
Yes, yes, Priyanshu.
Yes, yes. We're all set.
Yeah, we are coming. Of course, of course.
Yeah. See you. Bye.
That was our VC.
We have a solid spot. The investor is quite excited to meet us.
That's great.
It's at Lonavala. So, be ready. We're going.
But weren't you and Nikhil supposed to go?
Nikhil wants you there, too.
What will I do there?
I don't have any experience.
It's always good to have a girl on the team.
Listen, I'm not gonna stand there like some glam-doll.
That's not what I meant.
It'll be good for you. I'm telling you, trust me.
-Are you sure? -100%.
So, you be ready, I'll pick you up.
-Okay? -Okay.
There's news from Kashmir that your boy Sajid is complaining quite a bit.
Come on, you know how moody these boys are.
No.
All I know is that Mission Zulfiqar has started.
And for it to succeed, everybody strictly needs to follow orders.
Tell that boy of yours
that no one knows everything about the mission.
So, he should stop complaining, and focus on the work given to him.
-Or else we have other ways... -I'll talk to him.
The problem is Sajid doesn't know who our fighter is.
What do you mean?
Sajid and Moosa became good friends at my training camp.
I know how to convince Sajid.
Then do it!
We've wasted enough time. We can't afford to waste any more now.
After this, I shouldn't get a single call from Kashmir.
I'll take your leave now.
We'll meet next when we complete this mission.
-Khuda Hafiz. -Khuda Hafiz.
As-salaam 'alaykum, Basharat bhai.
Why haven't you met him yet?
We can deploy two units.
-We can position Unit Bravo... -Okay.
And lead Unit Alpha ourselves and wait on the bridge.
-Yes. -Srikant, there's an update for you.
We've just got intel
that Basharat will attend a wedding in Baramulla.
-We won't get a better opportunity. -Good.
But we can't enter the village.
-Why? -We'll wait outside,
and keep an eye on Basharat.
As soon as he leaves the wedding, we'll get him.
Why can't we arrest him during the wedding?
Sir, Baramulla is often referred to as mini-Pakistan.
Every house, every shop has "Go India, go back" written on its walls.
The army is not welcome there.
Before mounting an operation there, we need clearance from the top.
If things go wrong, it'll be all over the news.
I don't understand this.
Why is he attending a wedding?
Because Basharat is no fool.
He know that the army monitors his every move.
Then why is the lion leaving the safe jungle
and heading for the city?
Sir, maybe he's sure we won't get him in Baramulla.
It's his hometown.
Or maybe he's got orders,
to attend the wedding.
Would he risk his life for any such order?
What if he's coming to meet the asset?
It's a possibility, Saloni.
And even if the asset does not show up,
we'll know everything once we get Basharat.
We have to wait here.
We can't go ahead.
Sri, come see this.
That's Basharat.
-Can you zoom in, please? -Yes, ma'am.
Little Munni has grown up so quickly.
It seems like only yesterday
she was playing with her brothers.
May God bless both of them.
Can you lower it a bit, please?
Sorry, sir, if we do that, we could be detected.
I know her brothers are watching her wedding from heaven.
Come, Basharat bhai.
This is the room, as you wanted.
Basharat bhai!
Thank you so much.
You have blessed the wedding with your presence.
Please don't embarrass me, Tariq bhai.
This is like my daughter's wedding, how could I not come?
No. Your presence is enough for us.
There's no formality. Please, keep it.
Basharat bhai!
-As-salaam 'alaykum. -Wa' alaykum salaam.
How are things?
All is good with Allah's grace.
-How are you? -Alhamdulillah.
Please do not go until the marriage is solemnized.
I'm not going anywhere.
I plan to be here for the feast.
Inshallah. Please make yourself comfortable.
Who's this Tariq? How is he related to Basharat?
Sir, both of Tariq's sons were militants who got martyred.
Excuse me! Could you please stop calling them martyrs?
If one terrorist dies,
they call him a martyr to get ten more recruits!
Sir, I was just using the term they use.
Really? Do you agree with them, too?
Sir, do we have to prove our loyalty every day?
-Do you have a problem doing that? -Okay, guys, chill. Chill, please.
As-salaam 'alaykum, I am Sajid.
Do you know pigeons used to be our postmen?
A pigeon used to fly across the border with our message.
And another one used to fly back with a reply.
Three months ago, the BSF caught a pigeon.
Some tea?
Look,
I need know whether I'm going to get to speak to Faizan bhai or not?
Many days have passed,
nobody has told me a thing.
I don't like to work like this.
I want to know the whole mission,
and speak to Faizan bhai.
Why are you so restless?
The Sajid that Faizan spoke about was not like this.
Just two days have passed since you came to Kashmir.
And your whole attitude has changed.
Kashmir tends to do that to you.
I want to finish my work and leave quickly.
INTERCEPTING CALL
Brother, the groom wants to speak to you.
Give him the phone.
Okay, brother.
Sir, we're tracing a satellite call.
Guys!
-As-salaam 'alaykum, brother. -Wa' alaykum salaam.
So, how is the groom?
All is well.
If all is well, then why are you not agreeing to the marriage?
I didn't do so.
I just wanted to get to know the bride better.
If I'm going to sacrifice my life for a girl,
I should be allowed to make inquiries.
One makes inquiries only when one doesn't trust.
Your elder brother has been chosen the bride.
Elder brother?
-Your elder brother, Chettan. -Chettan?
Is he attending the marriage?
Yes. Rest assured
he knows you better than yourself.
I am thankful that he has chosen this bride.
Is there anything else I can do for you?
No. You have assured me.
Have patience, you'll get the details soon.
I'll be waiting.
-Khuda Hafiz. -Khuda Hafiz.
That's definitely code.
-Can you run a voice analysis on the two? -Yes, ma'am.
I was told that this is the most critical mission of our fight.
That's why I have come back to Kashmir without caring for my safety,
to ensure that this mission succeeds.
Remember,
you have been chosen for this sacred task.
You are Allah's most special one.
Don't mess it up.
The bridegroom's voice isn't matching.
But the other one matches with Faizan Ahmed's voice.
Fuck! He's on the CIA's most wanted list.
Faizan was speaking to our asset.
-Who's this Chettan? Any matches? -No, ma'am.
Chettan.
Could, could it be Chettan, like big brother in Malayalam?
Malayalam?
Malayalees call their big brother as Chettan.
Moosa.
Moosa is Chettan.
Vikram, I think we should move in.
We can't, Srikant.
I've already told you this, the army cannot enter.
I can go, unofficially.
-Sir, it's too risky. -Fuck the risk!
Srikant, as your commanding officer, I forbid you.
Don't take too much time, Srikant. And keep your head down.
Okay.
Sir, I'll wait here. They'll recognize me if I go further.
Good luck.
-Try to blend in, Srikant. -Nobody will be able to recognize me.
I'm wearing a Kashmiri dress. My cheeks are rosy, like apples.
It's not funny, Srikant. Please be careful.
As-salaam 'alaykum.
What do they say for "congratulations" in Kashmiri?
Sri, please don't.
Tell me quickly.
-Mubaarak. -Give me a slightly longer one.
As-salaam 'alaykum.
Tuichu hat hatlaikh mubaarak.
Wish me good luck
As-salaam 'alaykum, Tariq, sir. Tuichu hat hatlaikh mubaarak.
Sajid. His course has a duration of three years.
But he's been at it for six years now!
I think I got him.
How do you know?
I never forgot a person's face.
Who are you talking to?
My father. He's up there.
He knows something's up, I'm going after him.
Srikant, please don't.
Firdous, he's coming towards you.
Catch the motherfucker.
Copy. I'll stop him.
Get me a visual, quick!
There he is!
Srikant, get back to base now.
I'm going to catch him at any cost!
No, Srikant. It's not safe there.
Don't be a hero. Get back to base now!
Shut up, Saloni.
We have our fucking asses on the line right now!
He never listens, Vikram!
Done running, motherfucker?
I have the target, send the backup.
Srikant, get out of there. Abort and return to base immediately.
-I repeat. Abort. -Shut up and send the backup.
Srikant, get the fuck out of there, right now!
We can't come in. I mean it.
Srikant! Sri... Srikant!
Sit down.
Listen, motherfucker! This is not a joke! Sit down!
He has led Srikant back to the marriage hall.
-We have to get him out. -I'm going in right now.
Vikram, you can't go in. Let me go!
-It's not safe! -I got it.
Fuck!
I'll blow your brains out!
Sit!
Brothers!
This guy is from the army, Indian army.
He's come here to kill me.
He snuck into our marriage function.
These motherfuckers forcibly enter our home and brutalize us.
And if we protest, they call us terrorists.
Another word, and I'll blow your brains out, motherfucker.
I'll say one word!
A word which is on everybody's lips here!
Freedom!
Listen to me, listen to me!
Don't be fooled. He's on the run from Mumbai.
He has nothing to do with your struggle.
Hit him!
If anything happens to him,
things will get out of hand. Everybody will suffer.
He snuck into our marriage to spy on us.
He wanted to kill one of our guests.
Sir, he's not a guest. He's a wanted criminal and a terrorist.
-He's killed many innocent... -You consider all of us terrorists.
Go back to India.
Freedom! Freedom!
Maulvi, sir, you are misinterpreting this. This is not the issue at all.
That man is from Mumbai.
He's the prime suspect in a recent scooter blast there,
and we were after him.
Please listen to me, sir. You know me.
My army job apart,
I am with the citizens of Kashmir.
I'm a Kashmiri myself.
Please, tell them to step back.
Otherwise, I'll be compelled to call in my men.
For the sake of Kashmir, I request you.
If anything happens to this person, the army will barge in.
Even I won't be able to help you then.
The valley has already seen too much bloodshed.
Why do you want to taint this joyous occasion, too?
Cigarette?
You don't smoke.
You don't drink.
Do you fool around with girls?
Not that either?
Stop playing that song.
What?
I don't like Gujarati songs.
Listen, asshole, this truck is mine.
I was the one who gave you a lift. So, I choose which song plays, got it?
You're not giving me a free lift.
What?
What happened?
Not from here, go from there.
You guys literally call the shots in Srinagar.
There's a bloody curfew,
and we're sipping hot tea in the town square.
Oppression, in the name of security.
You really think so?
We can do whatever we want under AFSPA, and we do so.
The result?
They launch an attack and we enforce a curfew for weeks.
We shut down the Internet, mobile services, businesses and schools.
We're oppressing them.
It's the children who have to pay.
The people here are entirely at our mercy.
It's a crime to take away a person's freedom.
And then there are so many players in the game.
Pakistan civil government, the army, the ISI,
our central government, state government,
local politicians and the Hurriyat.
They are all playing their own games,
but it's the Kashmiri people caught in the crossfire.
Sometimes it's difficult to figure out who's wrong and who's right.
I mean, look at it from their perspective.
For them, is there any difference between us and the militants?
If only we had a regular job, simple and straight.
Get up in the morning, go to work, get your salary and go to sleep.
No need to rack one's brains.
Just avoid any extra stress!
The problem is that our work changes lives,
and the future of the country.
You know what Kulkarni used to say?
They need to win only once,
but we need to win every time.
And in the right way.
How do you know that Maulvi?
You spoke to him like to an old friend.
You can call it a friendship. A convenient friendship.
We have only one objective, to stop the bloodshed in Kashmir.
But more often than not, we fail.
By the way, Major Vikram is very pissed with you.
Why?
He thinks Basharat escaped because of you.
They have been tracking him for a long time now.
I'm very sorry about that.
But it was imperative that Sajid be caught.
We missed that fucker by a whisker.
Don't worry, we'll find him.
These bastards are very slippery.
Once they slither out, it's very difficult to find them.
But now, we know who's involved in Zulfiqar.
There's Faizan, then Moosa and Sajid.
The worst one is Faizan. He tells the other two...
What happened?
We don't know where Moosa and Sajid are.
But we do know where Faizan is.
-He's hiding somewhere in Balochistan. -Exactly!
He's in hiding there, on the CIA's most wanted list.
He's hiding in Pakistan. How are we going to ferret him out?
I know a guy who can help us.
You're not on the run, are you?
You have that look.
The papers are full of this stuff.
Will your mugshot be in the paper?
That's it.
You need to get down here.
I won't be going inside the city. I'll take a turn from here.
