- 1:27Hey brother Lala, hey Lala wait.
- 1:30Yes, uncle.
- 1:32Hey brother, have you even checked the
- 1:33time?
- 1:33I checked, uncle, just 2 minutes. Samir
- 1:36is leaving. Go on, son. Uncle, please
- 1:39stop Samir. If he goes out, he’ll
- 1:42ruin his clothes.
- 1:44Man, why does your mother think
- 1:46you’re a destroyer? Do you really
- 1:49ruin your clothes?
- 1:50No, not a destroyer, I am a submariner.
- 1:53Yes, and are you a submariner? Just
- 1:56like my father.
- 1:58No way. Certainly not like Zafar Mamoo.
- 2:00No, I am a commander like Daddy, right?
- 2:03Yes, indeed. He is the XO of a friend,
- 2:06yet he’s scared of water. Tell me,
- 2:08who was screaming while washing up? He
- 2:11got soap in my eyes while I was in the
- 2:14water.
- 2:16Oh no, that’s not Lubna.
- 2:19So brother, I am ready, let's go. How
- 2:21do I look? We are just leaving. You
- 2:24guys come quickly.
- 2:25Wow, what a wow, Aunty? Your hair is
- 2:28looking absolutely amazing. Whoever did
- 2:31your hair, that artist must be a genius
- 2:34. No French stylist was hired, sir. We
- 2:38Navy guys cut these hairs ourselves. It
- 2:42took 2 months to finally set.
- 2:44Oh, so Uncle will see you after 2 whole
- 2:46months today.
- 2:47Oh brother, he will actually see his
- 2:50son.
- 2:50Hey brother, are we not leaving? The
- 2:53submarine has docked. If we reach late,
- 2:55what’s the point? Brother, honestly,
- 2:58Zafar will meet us at home. We are
- 3:00going to see the submarine salute.
- 3:04Yes, Mom, we won't go by van, sister.
- 3:07Okay, no more "van" talk from Mom. She
- 3:11only wants to hear her uncle.
- 3:15Let's go, Uncle.
- 3:16Come along, son, come.
- 3:20And yes, Lubna and Avena, stay away
- 3:22from the fridge. We are bringing the
- 3:24real "fridge" guy back. Pakistan.
- 3:40Zindabad!
- 3:41Pakistan.
- 3:42Zindabad! Pakistan.
- 3:44Zindabad! Welcome, sir. Good. Report up
- 4:55. Oh my, what has happened to the kid
- 6:06in two months?
- 6:09Uncle, what is this smell?
- 6:11Where?
- 6:12It’s coming from you.
- 6:14Are you crazy? We are coming from
- 6:15France. I’m wearing cologne. Uncle,
- 6:18there’s something else along with it.
- 6:19Huh?
- 6:20Oh my God.
- 6:21Hey, this is the scent of a warrior's
- 6:25hard work. Brother, look, there’s no
- 6:31extra water on a submarine, so we use
- 6:33cologne. No one can bathe there.
- 6:35Can’t even the XO bathe?
- 6:37Forget the XO, even the Commanding
- 6:39Officer can’t bathe. Brother,
- 6:41everyone becomes equal in the water.
- 6:43And a submarine brings everyone to the
- 6:46same level.
- 6:49For God's sake, Zafar, what have you
- 6:51started? Let's go take a bath. Let's go
- 6:53, please.
- 6:54Raza, man, let's go. Samir, come with
- 6:58me.
- 7:04Hey, why are you sitting wearing a coat
- 7:06? Are you expecting a 21-gun salute?
- 7:08Brother, why are you getting angry?
- 7:10I'll take it off.
- 7:13An album, I found an album.
- 7:14Show me, whose pictures are these?
- 7:16Ladies? French ladies?
- 7:19Hmm.
- 7:20Zafar has brought photos of French
- 7:22women.
- 7:23Yes, absolutely French.
- 7:25Move, let me see.
- 7:31Hey, this is our Lala Rukh. How does he
- 7:35manage after sending his wife and kids
- 7:37away? He has come all the way looking
- 7:41at their photos at sea.
- 7:42I'm feeling hungry. I'm feeling hungry.
- 7:45Lala.
- 7:46Yes?
- 7:47Man, I'm starving, brother.
- 7:49Everything is ready, just two more
- 7:51minutes.
- 7:52What are you guys doing here? Let's
- 7:54head to the table. Let's attack. Come
- 7:56on, let's go, go, well done, well done,
- 7:59well done. Come on.
- 8:04What did you cook?
- 8:06Rice. Rice? Let's go, everyone stand up
- 8:12and come with me.
- 8:14Why?
- 8:15We'll just go outside and eat.
- 8:16Why, brother? What's the panic?
- 8:18Rice, rice, rice—I’ve been eating
- 8:20rice for a month, morning, noon, and
- 8:22night.
- 8:23Brother, your cooks don't even let us
- 8:25take a bath.
- 8:26In this heat, they don't even light the
- 8:28stove properly; those cruel cooks just
- 8:30boil rice three times a day in a cooker
- 8:32.
- 8:35Hey Lala, it's the truth—don't give
- 8:38him rice at home.
- 8:40I have said that I will not eat rice at
- 8:42all.
- 8:44Wow, Keema Paratha!
- 8:52Here you go, man.
- 8:57What is happening in Dhaka, brother?
- 8:59It’s not just in Dhaka; the situation
- 9:01is the same in many cities of East
- 9:04Pakistan. This is not good. Let me tell
- 9:07you. I am saying the same thing myself.
- 9:09It is definitely not good.
- 9:11Baba ji, you are sensible people. Tell
- 9:14me, are these leaders not aware of this
- 9:16? Do they know that this is not going
- 9:17well? Does this need to be fixed?
- 9:19Yes.
- 9:20Why wouldn't they know, Sardar? They
- 9:22know very well. And these leaders have
- 9:25to sit together and find a solution for
- 9:26this.
- 9:27Absolutely, brother. I am also saying
- 9:30that this cannot go on for long.
- 9:33Whenever there is unrest, the enemy
- 9:36sitting nearby tries to take full
- 9:38advantage. Yes, that’s true.
- 9:54Well brother, this is great news. Great
- 9:57news. What do you mean? The Pakistan
- 9:59Navy has acquired its first Daphné-
- 10:00class submarine. There is a party in
- 10:02the Officers 'Mess to celebrate this.
- 10:04All officers have been invited with
- 10:06their families. Where and who has been
- 10:07invited? It's a submarine family
- 10:09get-together. On what occasion? The
- 10:11strength of the Pakistan Navy has
- 10:12increased. Hangor has arrived. Aren't
- 10:15we going to celebrate? Sure, why not.
- 10:31Sorry, Lala, I'll turn the lights off
- 10:33now.
- 10:34That's all right. I am still awake. I'm
- 10:38busy with some arrangements.
- 10:41What arrangements? It's for your Hangor
- 10:45get-together, isn't it? I'm wondering
- 10:48what to wear.
- 10:51Anything will do, Lala. Whatever you
- 10:57wear suits you, it really becomes you.
- 11:01Flatterer.
- 11:04No, I am telling the truth.
- 11:07Husbands often use this line to avoid
- 11:09buying new clothes for their wives.
- 11:12Not here, not in my case.
- 11:15Okay Zafar, tell me, will this sari
- 11:17look better, or this one?
- 11:18Both are good, you should wear both.
- 11:21It's useless to ask you anything.
- 11:38Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to
- 11:42today's family get-together. For your
- 11:47entertainment, we have arranged a short
- 11:49musical program featuring local talent.
- 11:54Almost all the performers participating
- 11:56in this program are from our own
- 11:58Submarine Service. So first, I invite
- 12:02Mr. Abdul Haq Sial to the stage. Challa
- 12:17...(Singing) Challa...(Singing)
- 12:52Pervez, Challa...(Singing)
- 12:56Sir, you have kept this Pervez Hameed
- 12:58so busy that he can't even find time to
- 13:00meet his old colleagues; look, he has
- 13:01met them today.
- 13:03Assalam-o-Alaikum, sir. Hello, how come
- 13:06, Zafar, that he is our old colleague?
- 13:10He is certainly not our old colleague.
- 13:13With all due respect, sir, you are
- 13:16saying that in '66-'67, I was also
- 13:18there in Turkey with Zafar Sahib, and I
- 13:21am also an old Turkey group member.
- 13:24Okay, young fellow, I was mistaken.
- 13:26Sir, here comes another old Turkey
- 13:28colleague, Bashir Rajput.
- 13:31Bashir, how are you?
- 13:32Sir, it's your blessing. I am fit and
- 13:35sea-worthy.
- 13:36Obviously, brother, you are coming back
- 13:37after spending your holidays, so you
- 13:39must be sea-worthy.
- 13:40Where did you go? Did you go to the
- 13:41village?
- 13:41Yes, sir.
- 13:42What's happening there?
- 13:43Sir, the crops are ready. The harvest
- 13:45is about to begin.
- 13:46Brother, someday take us city-bound
- 13:48submariners along too. Show us the
- 13:49village and the crops.
- 13:50Sure, sir. Why not? One minute, please.
- 13:53Sir, don't even talk about it. The
- 13:55plans he makes, it seems like he has
- 13:58his suitcase ready, and whenever we
- 14:00contact home, it's just excuses and
- 14:03excuses.
- 14:03Brother, he is working hard, he will go
- 14:05very far.
- 14:05It's your blessings, sir. Thank you
- 14:07very much.
- 14:08Okay, young fellows, enjoy yourselves.
- 14:11See you.
- 14:12Thank you very much.
- 14:14Yes brother, tell me. Sir, you tell us,
- 14:16you’ve returned from courses in
- 14:18Turkey and France. What’s the
- 14:20difference between the two?
- 14:22Parvez, Hamid! My dear, Turkey is
- 14:24Turkey, France is France! Actually
- 14:28Parvez, Hamid, we found truly competent
- 14:30professionals in both places who knew
- 14:33how to teach and how to work well. And
- 14:37sir, apart from work...oh come on, you
- 14:39know we hardly ever got any free time
- 14:41from work. Turkey has its own
- 14:45traditional, historical color, and yes,
- 14:47France had its own charm. Keep sitting,
- 14:55please.
- 14:55Can I see the boss now?
- 14:57Sir, the Admiral will be busy all day
- 14:58today. Take a time for tomorrow.
- 15:01Give me some other suggestion. It's
- 15:02very urgent.
- 15:03Sir, all the top brass are in a
- 15:05promotion board meeting.
- 15:07Promotion?
- 15:07Yes, sir.
- 15:08Ah, very nice. Then we shall meet
- 15:10tomorrow. Goodbye.
- 15:12Sir.
- 15:13All right. Promote. Next. Sir,
- 15:17Lieutenant Commander Zafar Mohammad
- 15:19Khan is currently the Executive Officer
- 15:21of Submarine Hangor.
- 15:22Sir, he is well-versed with the fleet
- 15:24and the Daphné-class submarine.
- 15:26Yes, he has returned after training in
- 15:27Turkey and France.
- 15:28Sir, his Commanding Officers have given
- 15:30good reports.
- 15:32He appears to be quite a favorite and
- 15:34quite a professional.
- 15:36His overall performance is good.
- 15:37Sir, I suggest promotion. Yes, he can
- 15:40be promoted.
- 15:41What do you say? He can be promoted.
- 15:44Okay. Promoted to Commander. Next.
- 16:06That’s how it should be done, okay.
- 16:12Lala.
- 16:13Hmm.
- 16:13You must be happy, right?
- 16:18About what?
- 16:19Look, Samina, she asks "about what"? I
- 16:22have become a Commander, brother.
- 16:24Sir, I keep looking at the face of a
- 16:27submariner through my periscope. When
- 16:30he is happy, I become happy too.
- 16:32Your submariner is happy.
- 16:34But not more than me.
- 16:37Oh, you must be happy thinking about
- 16:39new living quarters and a new paycheck.
- 16:42I know, all wives are happy like this.
- 16:44And you became happy because of the
- 16:46braid on your cap, sir. By the way
- 16:49Zafar, a paycheck is one thing, but
- 16:52inner happiness is quite different. And
- 16:55I am happy because of you. Because I
- 16:58know that you are going to go very far.
- 17:02Thank you, Lala. I want something very
- 17:06good to happen for both of you. What do
- 17:08you think, Lala? We will make Samina a
- 17:10submariner too. Yes. Earlier you used
- 17:13to say you would make him a doctor. Now
- 17:15again, a submariner?
- 17:16Just forget about all this medical
- 17:17stuff. Brother, there is great prestige
- 17:19in being a submariner.
- 17:20But Zafar, the paycheck...I am sorry. I
- 17:23apologize. By the way, just think,
- 17:26doesn't a doctor earn more than a
- 17:28submarine commander?
- 17:30Come on, brother Samina. So, your dear
- 17:32mother turned out to be just a woman
- 17:34after all. That’s where it all ended.
- 17:37No paycheck, no car. Look, there was
- 17:49this issue about these two sacks I
- 17:50forgot to note down; please write it.
- 17:52Hold on, brother, I'm working right now
- 17:53.
- 17:53Just write down two sacks.
- 17:54Oh, Assalamu Alaikum.
- 17:57How are you, brother Saddiq?
- 17:58Why are you suppliers constantly
- 18:01testing my patience? Tell me, what kind
- 18:04of test, brother Saddiq? Everything
- 18:07okay? Is this a coconut? Yes, it’s a
- 18:10coconut. Hey, is this a coconut?
- 18:11Yes brother, it’s a coconut.
- 18:13There’s no water in it. What kind of
- 18:14coconut is this?
- 18:15How am I to blame if there’s no water
- 18:17inside? Whatever the contractor brings
- 18:19me, I supply it just like that. I
- 18:21don’t make them at home. It comes
- 18:23from East Pakistan. And the situation
- 18:25there is...don't even ask.
- 18:26What? What’s happening there? Can’t
- 18:28you see? Neither the people understand
- 18:30it. Nor the politicians understand it.
- 18:32Even a man like me doesn’t understand
- 18:33it. What exactly is happening there?
- 18:35Yeah, you managed to drag politics even
- 18:37into this coconut, didn't you? Don't
- 18:38you read the newspaper, brother Saddiq?
- 18:40The situation is getting worse every
- 18:42day. The enemy is sneaking their men in
- 18:45. They are the ones spreading trouble.
- 18:47The condition of Dhaka is unbearable.
- 18:49Did you go there to see it? Huh?
- 18:51Brother, so what if I haven’t seen it
- 18:52with my own eyes? I am hearing about it
- 18:54. This coconut is telling me what’s
- 18:55happening there.
- 18:56What is happening? The enemy wants to
- 19:00block our path somehow. So that we
- 19:03can't go from West Pakistan to East
- 19:05Pakistan. They want to break us—
- 19:08Hey brother, you were just wandering
- 19:10around here, why haven't you left yet?
- 19:12Brother Saddiq, you are a very busy man
- 19:15; don't you have two minutes to sit
- 19:17with me? I came to your house to meet
- 19:19you. Sit down.
- 19:20Yeah buddy, I'm saying this out of love
- 19:22. Oh brother, for love’s sake, take
- 19:24this coconut and get some water filled
- 19:26in it.
- 19:26Am I getting scolded from above?
- 19:29You’re a fool.
- 19:30Sir, listen.
- 19:31Yes? Don't throw away these coconut
- 19:34fibers. Why? Because they will be
- 19:38useful to you—only to me. Come on,
- 19:45get this coconut fixed, go on, go on,
- 19:47go on. Wow. Assalamu Alaikum, Sir. How
- 20:29does she look? Beautiful, Sir. What do
- 20:31you think? About what, Sir? Do you want
- 20:38it?
- 20:40Yes, Sir. Command it. It’s yours, Sir
- 20:43.
- 20:44Okay, take it. I just received
- 20:47information from Naval Headquarters a
- 20:49while ago that you have been appointed
- 20:51as the Commanding Officer of Ghazi.
- 20:53Congratulations, well done. I am very
- 20:56happy. Thank you, Sir. You are welcome

- 24:39Bhabhi, Shera is the duty officer right
- 24:41now. He and Shahji are on the submarine
- 24:43. Arif has left on his scooter with
- 24:45Zaman sitting behind him. He must be
- 24:47coming, or maybe not. He must be
- 24:49getting a puncture fixed, as usual.
- 24:51No, no, Nazeer Awan. Why do you keep
- 24:54spreading rumors against his scooter?
- 24:56Not rumors, sir. Sir, you haven't seen
- 24:58that scooter. If you saw it, you would
- 25:00coin two or three rumors yourself.
- 25:04Lieutenant, you will never change. Yes.
- 25:08Assalamu Alaikum.
- 25:10Walaikum Assalam.
- 25:11Aha, Bashir Rajput, latecomer.
- 25:14No, Lala Bhabhi. I am not a latecomer.
- 25:17Only this time. Sorry, Bhabhi.
- 25:20Okay, forgiven this time. But what is
- 25:23this? Why have you come alone? Kulsum
- 25:25Bhabhi, your Mrs. Rajput is on duty
- 25:28right now. One of her cousins,
- 25:29Mashallah, has reached the maternity
- 25:31home. So, she is present there to keep
- 25:33her morale high.
- 25:35Oh, so she's giving support to her
- 25:37cousin. Well, today is the cousin's
- 25:39turn, so, God willing, tomorrow will be
- 25:41her turn.
- 25:42Insha'Allah, sir. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 25:45hot soup is served.
- 25:51You went to raid Kulsum's kitchen,
- 25:53right? Okay.
- 25:54Yes, very much, sir. This. Back.
- 26:03Lala.
- 26:04Yes? Wake up brother Sunil. Mashallah,
- 26:07he talks like a parrot and you made him
- 26:09sleep.
- 26:10Yes, Lala Bhabhi. In the joy of Daddy's
- 26:12promotion, his Aunt Kulsum is throwing
- 26:14a party. And the young man is sleeping.
- 26:16Please Sitara, let him sleep, he will
- 26:18be very troublesome otherwise.
- 26:18Hey Sameer, come on, wake up.
- 26:20Please Zafar, don't wake me up now.
- 26:22He's up, now he'll chase me around.
- 26:23Dad is so dynamic. It's no joke. Of
- 26:26course, dynamic. And Bhabhi, Sir gave
- 26:28such a brilliant workout to our friend
- 26:30Qazi. Lada Bhabhi, if you were there,
- 26:32you'd have seen it.
- 26:33Hey Lieutenant, that wasn't my
- 26:35intention, you started applauding. And
- 26:37yes, don't talk, sure. No office talk
- 26:40at home. Understood? You can do office
- 26:43work well. By the way, ladies, it is a
- 26:45privilege to be on board. What kind of
- 26:49submarine? My old new boat and Bhabhi,
- 26:54its reach, oh my God, can travel 14,000
- 26:57miles non-stop.
- 26:59You know, Sitara is over 311 feet long.
- 27:03Just think of it as a small steamer
- 27:05moving underwater. We are in love with
- 27:08her.
- 27:09I believe you, Parvez. Anyway, Zafar
- 27:11keeps praising it every day.
- 27:15Brother, it's our firstborn. Pakistan
- 27:18Navy's first submarine. Mashallah,
- 27:21congratulations.
- 27:24Oh my God. What is that sound? Sir,
- 27:33ladies, and Master Sameer, who is
- 27:35thankfully sound asleep, I present
- 27:38Lieutenant Arif Latif's world-famous
- 27:41scooter.
- 27:45Oh my God, if that's Arif's scooter, I
- 27:49apologize. No rumor can stay a rumor
- 27:53for long for this student. Gentlemen,
- 28:18our discussion will be brief this time.
- 28:21In fact, we will not be discussing
- 28:24anything. Time is short, or rather, the
- 28:26time has come. Sorry sir, I am late. In
- 28:32East Bengal, which some people also
- 28:35call East Pakistan. Yes, they are right
- 28:38. So, what our politics sowed in the
- 28:42East, the harvest is now ready. And I
- 28:46believe the time has come. From the top
- 28:51, meaning the main office, we have a
- 28:54signal to shift our aircraft carrier
- 28:58Vikrant and its carrier group. No, no,
- 29:02nothing to be surprised about. We have
- 29:05received expected orders to move the
- 29:07Vikrant to the Eastern Theater of...I
- 29:12must not say war. Eastern Theater of
- 29:17activities. Sir, you mean we are going
- 29:21to move Vikrant? You are very brilliant
- 29:26, my dear Admiral. Sorry, you
- 29:30understood correctly, yes, we are going
- 29:34to move it. We are shifting Vikrant
- 29:38from Cochin to Visakhapatnam. And
- 29:43gentlemen, this is our first move. What
- 29:53is happening here? We are helping you.
- 29:57One should help one's own.
- 30:01No. Not in the kitchen. Absolutely not.
- 30:04You should do this. Go and sit
- 30:05comfortably in the room so I can finish
- 30:07my work quickly.
- 30:08Look, don't complain later that I don't
- 30:10help with household chores.
- 30:11Me and complaints? I won't complain at
- 30:14all. Please, do me a favor and go sit
- 30:16in the room.
- 30:17We’ll start in a bit.
- 30:19Okay?
- 30:21It was so hard to open this can.
- 30:23So what? I’ll open another one in a
- 30:25second.
- 30:25There’s no need, you go sit down. Yes
- 30:27, the phone’s ringing, the phone’s
- 30:29ringing. Go on. Listen to the phone,
- 30:31then we'll open the rest.
- 30:33No. Oh, this too. Sir, Admiral is
- 31:10sitting inside. Yes, sir. Could I see
- 31:13him?
- 31:14Right now, sir?
- 31:15It’s urgent. All stations, all
- 31:22stations, this is Operation Office.
- 31:28Starting today, there will be blackout
- 31:30drills in all defense establishments in
- 31:33Karachi. Assalamu Alaikum, sir.
- 31:58Walaikum Assalam. And sir, that letter
- 32:01from Lahore—is everything okay?
- 32:04Yes, yes sir, everything is fine.
- 32:08So then, sir, they are saying that even
- 32:11if it's for two or three days, you
- 32:13should come.
- 32:15I need leave.
- 32:16Sir, Mother says I should come on the
- 32:18first flight. Get married and leave on
- 32:20the second one.
- 32:22Hmm, okay. Marriage. Marriage is a good
- 32:31thing. Yes, sir. I don’t know, Awan,
- 32:37but get leave. In these circumstances,
- 32:41leave? Let’s see. Come on. Only five
- 32:50days to prepare. We could get the order
- 32:53to sail at any moment.
- 32:56Yes, sir.
- 33:04Sir, according to intelligence reports,
- 33:06their aircraft carrier is currently in
- 33:08the Bay of Bengal at this location and
- 33:11is heading towards East Pakistan. In
- 33:14these circumstances, what is your plan
- 33:16for the deployment of our subs?
- 33:18Sir, I believe that considering the
- 33:20situation, we should send a sub to the
- 33:22Bay of Bengal immediately.
- 33:24Sir, this operation is certainly
- 33:26difficult. But it is actionable.
- 33:29Approved. Sir, we will have to blockade
- 33:31the port of Visakhapatnam so their
- 33:33ships' movement stops.
- 33:35Will our submarine be able to go such a
- 33:37distance to lay mines?
- 33:38Of course, sir. And only Ghazi has this
- 33:41capability. Travel 2,500 miles, conduct
- 33:45the operation, and come back. Then
- 33:48it’s Ghazi, right?
- 33:50Yes, of course. Come on, come on, come
- 34:07on, this part. Sir. Everything is under
- 34:18control.
- 34:18Yes, sir.
- 34:19That’s good. When does Awan join?
- 34:23Sir, he will be promoted tomorrow, sir.
- 34:27Right. I know you are very busy, but I
- 34:29want the Awan family's inclusion into
- 34:31the Ghazi family to be done with full
- 34:33naval tradition. Sir, do you remember
- 34:36Lieutenant Commander Cheema’s wedding
- 34:38? Remember that?
- 34:39Yes, sir.
- 34:40Alright. Okay.
- 34:47Aha!
- 34:48Assalamu Alaikum.
- 34:49Walaikum Assalam.
- 34:50Sitara, oh Sitara, look who has come.
- 34:53Brother, our young man has come back
- 34:55after achieving greatness. This is
- 34:57Shaila. Salam Alaikum.
- 34:58Assalamu Alaikum.
- 34:59Assalamu Alaikum.
- 35:00Who are you, Shaila? Your name is
- 35:02Shaila, right?
- 35:03Many, many congratulations.
- 35:05Come on in, why are you standing there?
- 35:07You guys should go inside.
- 35:08Go on, go, go, let's move, let's go.
- 35:19So Shaila, did you like our Shamshad
- 35:21brother's house?
- 35:22Very much.
- 35:23Do you know Shaila, your groom came
- 35:25running to me before going to Lahore,
- 35:27just to tell me that his bride's name
- 35:29is Shaila.
- 35:31Wow, was that really the point?
- 35:32Yes, that was exactly the point!
- 35:34I had to tell Shamshad Bhai and Sitara
- 35:36Bhabhi that I wasn't going to marry
- 35:38some Miss ABC. I am going to marry
- 35:41Shaila, sir. By the way, Bhabhi, the
- 35:43name Shaila is nice, isn't it?
- 35:45Why not? The name is lovely and our
- 35:48bride is lovely too.
- 35:51No, no, thank you. We should be the
- 35:54ones thanking you. Brother, you have
- 35:56brought this Awan into the company of
- 35:57married people. Otherwise, no one was
- 36:00marrying him. Shaila, it was the
- 36:03kindness of my CEO, Commander Zafar,
- 36:05who gave me leave at such a time. When
- 36:08we leave here, we will go straight to
- 36:09Commander Zafar and Lala Rukh
- 36:11Bhabhi’s house. Okay?
- 36:12Did you call Bhabhi?
- 36:14What call?
- 36:15Brother, to tell her that we are
- 36:16bringing Shaila. Was a call really
- 36:18necessary for that?
- 36:20If you take Shaila there without
- 36:21telling them......Lala Rukh Bhabhi will
- 36:23give you an earful. An earful?
- 36:27I mean, she will be very angry. You
- 36:30know, Shaila. When a new bride arrives,
- 36:33Lala Bhabhi follows full protocol. Some
- 36:37sweets, a garland, and perhaps a lovely
- 36:40gift too. How sweet!
- 36:43Yes brother, if you want to be in her
- 36:45good books, inform her before you go.
- 36:47Brother, please sit comfortably. I'm
- 36:50fine, Bhabhi.
- 36:50Oh brother, Awan, how did you bring the
- 36:53bride? On a scooter. A scooter? On
- 36:56Arif's scooter? Every bride ends up on
- 37:00Arif's scooter. Come on.
- 37:02What’s so special about Arif's
- 37:04scooter?
- 37:05Bhabhi, please serve us some hot tea.
- 37:07We have come to your house for the
- 37:08first time.
- 37:08Ijaz, bring tea for our guests. Look at
- 37:22her, leaving the bedroom to lie down
- 37:25here. She doesn't rest at all. How will
- 37:28she get better?
- 37:30Why? Why don't you take any rest? And
- 37:33yes, I heard that you book a rickshaw
- 37:35for the entire day. Karsaz, Keamari,
- 37:37Malir—you visit everywhere in a
- 37:39single day.
- 37:40Oh no dear, he is just saying that.
- 37:42And yes, I also heard that you don't
- 37:44follow any diet. Was it just the
- 37:47sherbet? It was just one glass of
- 37:50sherbet.
- 37:51And that too, with ice added.
- 37:53Ice in this weather?
- 37:55Please, Aunt, take care, follow your
- 37:57diet, and get some rest too. Alright.
- 38:00Okay, now we should leave.
- 38:02No, son, sit. Lala, dear, any news from
- 38:06over there?
- 38:08Yes, Papa. Zafar's friend, Aziz Ahmed
- 38:10Khan. He called from Dhaka. Everyone
- 38:13back home is safe. Honestly, may God
- 38:16have mercy; what’s happening, Aunt,
- 38:18is not good. I hear there's a lot of
- 38:21chaos. Son, what if a war breaks out?
- 38:25Lala, dear, what did your Aziz Ahmed
- 38:28Khan say? Aunt, he is a Lieutenant
- 38:30Commander in the Navy. He calls with
- 38:32great difficulty, and that too only to
- 38:34ask if we’re okay. Zafar, son, what
- 38:37will happen?
- 38:39God knows. Brother, why are you asking
- 38:42him? Oh brother, these are service
- 38:44people. They won't comment on political
- 38:48matters.
- 38:48What politics is this? People are
- 38:51losing their lives. Look at the
- 38:54suffering of human beings.
- 38:57Aunt, please pray for us, and give us
- 38:59permission to leave. And yes, remember
- 39:03that rest and diet talk.
- 39:05I'll remember for an hour or two. Let's
- 39:07see what happens after that.
- 39:09Wow, he doesn't even listen.
- 39:12Okay Aunt, goodbye.
- 39:14Goodbye, son.
- 39:15Listen. Goodbye.
- 39:19There, Aunt's check-up is done.
- 39:21She was very happy to see you.
- 39:25What’s the plan now? Let's head back
- 39:27home.
- 39:27Will the markets be open? Maybe.
- 39:30I was thinking of buying a thing or two
- 39:32.
- 39:32At this time?
- 39:34Perhaps you are forgetting we have
- 39:36invited Awan and his wife Shaila over
- 39:38tomorrow evening.
- 39:40Oh Awan, the young man, okay, that's
- 39:43fine.
- 39:49Assalamu Alaikum, Sir.
- 39:50How are you, Siddiq?
- 39:52I'm doing great, you tell us, welcome
- 39:55back, everything is just fine, Sir.
- 40:06Assalamu Alaikum, Sir.
- 40:07Walaikum Assalam, welcome back, Aman.
- 40:09Thank you, Sir, preparations are in
- 40:10full swing.
- 40:11Yes, check your equipment and
- 40:12department; make sure nothing is left
- 40:14behind.
- 40:15Come, Sir.
- 40:15And yes, what about the evening
- 40:17preparations?
- 40:18Yes, Sir, you've made me wear the
- 40:19uniform in the evening too.
- 40:22Not us, young man, your own hard work
- 40:24has earned it.
- 40:25Okay, Sir. Walaikum Assalam.
- 40:41Welcome to Ghazi, Aunt.
- 40:42Thank you, Sir. They had this made
- 40:53especially for you. Very nice. And this
- 41:04is fine.
- 41:04That's enough. Very nice, very nice,
- 41:18Number One.
- 41:19Sir, good arrangement.
- 41:21Thank you, Sir.
- 41:22Keep it up, man, we've dried up waiting
- 41:25for food.
- 41:25Sir, were you waiting for the special
- 41:27guests?
- 41:28Oh, both of them are already here. I am
- 41:30talking about the food and drinks, man.
- 41:33Lala.
- 41:34Yes.
- 41:35Man, get some food, some cold drinks,
- 41:37brother.
- 41:37Just two minutes. Please, 2 minutes.
- 41:41Everything will be here shortly.
- 41:47Yes, okay. Okay, Number One.
- 41:50Sir.
- 41:51Continue the party. Huh? How did it go?
- 42:05Assalamu Alaikum, Sir.
- 42:06Walaikum Assalam.
- 42:09Zafar. The day after tomorrow, Riaz and
- 42:14Saban have to go for patrol. Right, Sir
- 42:17. Sir, any specified area?
- 42:20There is no specified area for now. But
- 42:23we will notify you with a signal.
- 42:26Right, sir. If you want, amend Ghazi's
- 42:29sailing list and give it to me by 10 AM
- 42:32tomorrow.
- 42:33Right, sir. I will talk to my XO about
- 42:36this. And I’ll let you know, sir.
- 42:38Please do that. I am giving you three
- 42:41envelopes for the Ghazi mission. During
- 42:45the patrol, you will get a signal on
- 42:47which envelope to open.
- 42:50Excuse me, sir. Why? Do you have a
- 42:58question?
- 42:58No, sir. Everything is clear. Okay.
- 43:01Best of luck.
- 43:03Thank you, sir. Parvez.
- 43:17Hurry up, we are getting late.
- 43:18Brother, give me a minute.
- 43:20Brother, hurry up. Everyone must be
- 43:23waiting for us.
- 43:24Your family just needs an excuse for a
- 43:26party. Brother, it's not like I'm going
- 43:28to sea for the first time.
- 43:30You don't even have a bit of courtesy.
- 43:33It was better when nobody was giving
- 43:34you a lift. My dear Begum Kulsoom
- 43:39Parvez, sometimes try to understand my
- 43:42humor too. Appreciate the in-laws I
- 43:45praise so much. Yes.
- 43:49Look, it’s 8:30, let's go.
- 43:51Let's go, sir. Just keep in mind that
- 43:55the return will be early because
- 43:57tomorrow is my Zaban-ki. Okay, let's go
- 44:01. Here, take this toothbrush from this
- 44:06shaving kit for Ghazi, and keep the kit
- 44:09at home. This manual of duty for Ghazi,
- 44:13and this towel for Ghazi, this for home
- 44:16, this also for home, this cologne for
- 44:19Ghazi. And this lovely Samir for home,
- 44:25and all my Navy medals for Ghazi. And
- 44:28hey, Lalam sahab, write up, write up!
- 44:33Shine bright like a bulb. Yes, good, do
- 44:36you know what a bulb is? Don't you know
- 44:38? Hey brother, it's a light bulb. And
- 44:41do you know what Jamzama is? Jamzama
- 44:43means a song or melody. Jamzama is also
- 44:45something else, that cannon kept at the
- 44:48Lahore museum square, just like you.
- 44:51That's better! You need to smile all
- 44:54the time, being grumpy won't work at
- 44:56all. You married a Navy guy, I mean,
- 45:00you married a Navy guy. That's very
- 45:03good. I like it. You need to keep your
- 45:06morale high at all times. Okay? Keep it
- 45:09up. Come on, pack this quickly. There
- 45:15stands Ghazi, alert and ready in the
- 45:17dark. And here is yours truly. Ready
- 45:21for departure. Then, Khuda Hafiz. Allah
- 45:27, take care. You too, take care.
- 45:32I must, I can't afford otherwise, I am
- 45:34the captain. Aye Yusuf, you are right.
- 45:38Ready to sail. Take care. Alright, son.
- 45:56Khuda Hafiz. Khuda Hafiz. Hello, hello
- 46:24sir, Kali Devi has departed. Their
- 46:54submarine Ghazi has left its home base.
- 46:57Oh Ghazi, I said G-H-A-Z-I, Ghazi has
- 47:01left Karachi and we have to find her.
- 47:11Scope clear.
- 47:18No close contact. Okay, let's go down
- 47:23to 55 meters. Sorry sir, I apologize
- 47:42sir.
- 47:43It's okay, you seem a bit sad.
- 47:47No, what sadness?
- 47:49Sir, I apologize once again, you were
- 47:52just looking at your wife's photograph,
- 47:55sir, it's natural. How long has it even
- 47:58been since your wedding? Only five days
- 48:01, just five days. One does feel a bit
- 48:04homesick, sir. Duty makes one forget
- 48:07everything.
- 48:07You are right about that. Siddhi, do
- 48:09one thing. Get me a cup of hot tea.
- 48:12At your service, sir, anytime. Sir,
- 48:15bring some biscuits too.
- 48:17Bring them. Raja sir, Raja sir.
- 48:24I had just gotten a breather after
- 48:25finishing the work. The CO summoned us
- 48:27for Ghazi. I came here after canceling
- 48:29my leave.
- 48:29What were you going to do with the
- 48:31leave anyway, man? And if you get a CO
- 48:33like Zafar sir, duty is more fun than a
- 48:35holiday.
- 48:36It's nothing else, Habib, I'm missing
- 48:38the fresh air. Getting off the ship is
- 48:41a matter of luck, Ramzan. It's God's
- 48:43grace, sir. Engine branch sailors are
- 48:45easily replaceable, four for the price
- 48:47of one. It is a big deal that I was
- 48:49selected. And I'll get leave again.
- 48:51I have promised the CO that once I
- 48:53return from this patrol, I will take
- 48:54the station and head to the village.
- 48:56What is in the village, brother? The
- 48:58village girl is already with you.
- 49:09Contact range 17. Sir, there is a sonar
- 49:20contact on bearing 120. Raja number one
- 49:23, I'm coming. Let's take a look. Number
- 49:36one, close the action station, sir.
- 49:53Action station closed up, sir. Raja,
- 49:56come to periscope depth. Bearing mark
- 50:2412, sir. Mark bearing 135, sir. Bearing
- 50:37, mark bearing 150, sir.
- 50:41Enemy is moving at 10 knots. 20 down,
- 50:49100 meters, 20 down, 100 meters, Roger
- 50:51sir, make it fast, moderate speed four.
- 51:03100 meters, sir. Big ship, switch to
- 51:06ultra quiet. Rajput, prepare three
- 51:39torpedoes for Arjun. Torpedoes ready,
- 51:45sir. Sir, the enemy is in range. They
- 51:54might not be able to detect us, but we
- 51:57aren't at work.
- 52:06Yes, sir. We are on alert, sir. By the
- 52:13way, their submarine hasn't been
- 52:15located yet. I think, sir, it might be
- 52:19on a routine patrol. Yes. They have
- 52:24their own areas. Yes. Of course, sir.
- 52:29Of course, Bombay has already been
- 52:33alerted. Yes. Sir. We had already
- 52:41stated that. Yes. Okay, sir. Okay. So
- 52:50sister-in-law, how will we know if they
- 52:53are safe?
- 52:55Shahla, when they come back themselves
- 52:58and ring the doorbell, we'll know they
- 53:01are safe.
- 53:02Sister-in-law Kulsoom, please tell me.
- 53:04I am telling you.
- 53:06I know you are joking. Shahla, look,
- 53:10when a submarine goes out on patrol, it
- 53:13only receives radio signals. It doesn't
- 53:16reply. Meaning it listens, but doesn't
- 53:20speak. There's no way to check if they
- 53:23are okay. There is.
- 53:28What? Your heart tells you that
- 53:32everything is fine. The heart knows
- 53:36nothing, sister-in-law. Shahla, you
- 53:39have to live by your heart. Do you know
- 53:42that for a submariner's wife, a
- 53:44generous quota of loneliness is
- 53:46allotted from the very first day?
- 53:49Didn't Amma tell you, Shahla? No, not
- 53:54the new girl. Come on, an easy girl
- 53:58won't last like this. Look, being brave
- 54:03is very important. Submariners 'wives
- 54:08have to show much more courage than the
- 54:11wives of all other soldiers, airmen,
- 54:13and sailors. And Aman didn't even tell
- 54:17you that, be it war or peace, a
- 54:18submarine is always in a state of war.
- 54:21But who should we show this bravery to?
- 54:26To each other.
- 54:28Really. You were teaching me, and look
- 54:30at the wife of a ten-year veteran
- 54:32herself.
- 54:32Don't worry about me. I forgot to tell
- 54:35you one thing. Laila Rukh,
- 54:37sister-in-law called. Her siblings are
- 54:39coming from East Pakistan. Their
- 54:41parents contacted Zafar bhai's friend,
- 54:44Lieutenant Commander Aziz, in
- 54:46Chittagong. He informed them that no
- 54:49bad news has been heard from anywhere.
- 54:52This means the submarine Ghazi is safe.
- 54:55Understand? No news is good news. Happy
- 54:59? Alright, tell me, how are Mom and Dad
- 55:15?
- 55:16They are fine, just worried due to the
- 55:18situation.
- 55:19Laila, what has the situation become
- 55:21over there? I can't even describe it.
- 55:23Yes, we have an idea. You only have an
- 55:28idea. These are dreams. God, what has
- 55:32happened to these people?
- 55:34If Uncle Afi didn't call sometimes,
- 55:36believe me, we would have gone crazy
- 55:38over there.
- 55:39He really takes great care of Mom and
- 55:41Dad.
- 55:42Where is Zafar bhai?
- 55:43On duty. Duty? Where did he go on duty?
- 55:48I don't know.
- 55:49Is he alright, though?
- 55:51Yes. Yes, he is perfectly fine.
- 55:54Number one. Prepare to come to
- 55:58periscope depth, snorkel on two engines
- 56:00, sir. Prepare to come to periscope
- 56:04depth, prepare to snorkel on two
- 56:06engines, sir.
- 56:08Ready to come to periscope depth and
- 56:10ready to snorkel on two engines, sir.
- 56:20Scope depth, sir. Scope clear. Nothing
- 56:46visual. Raise induction mast. Commence
- 56:51snorkeling. Used to. Hidden, aren't
- 57:04they? Amidst the thousands. With
- 57:19friends. Stuck. Lost in fun.
- 57:31Half-witted, what a cruel singer he is,
- 57:34brother, take it easy.
- 57:37And the voice too.
- 57:41And the man is very innocent.
- 57:43He really is very innocent.
- 57:45Come on brother, move, move, well done,
- 57:46move, time's up.
- 57:47Roger sir, this Siddique is making
- 57:50excuses, sir.
- 57:52This Siddique makes excuses even while
- 57:54serving food.
- 57:55No sir, he is very obedient.
- 57:57Oh, obedient one, come here.
- 57:58Very obedient.
- 57:59Move aside.
- 58:00Come on brother, come on.
- 58:01Roger sir. Roger sir. Sir.
- 58:27Sir, the most awaited signal has been
- 58:30received. Message: Fire ball, open
- 58:37number one. Number one, please come
- 58:45forward. Number one, our assignment is
- 59:33to block India's port, Visakhapatnam,
- 59:36by laying mines.
- 59:41Yes sir, that's good. Check the
- 59:46position with the navigator and tell me
- 59:47how far we are from the port of
- 59:49Visakhapatnam.
- 59:50Roger sir.
- 59:51And yes, after 10 minutes, I would like
- 59:54to say something to the ship's company.
- 59:56Roger sir. Excuse me. In the name of
- 1:00:58Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
- 1:01:00Merciful. All positions, this is your
- 1:01:03captain. We have been briefed on our
- 1:01:05assignment. We are going to block
- 1:01:09India's port, Visakhapatnam, by laying
- 1:01:13mines. Their aircraft carrier, Vikrant,
- 1:01:16has made that port its base. That is
- 1:01:19why this is necessary. Comrades, for
- 1:01:23which we trained and left our homes, I
- 1:01:27know it in one word, and that word is
- 1:01:31Pakistan.
- 1:01:33We acquired all our skills for Pakistan
- 1:01:35and we left our homes for Pakistan. As
- 1:01:39long as we live, whether in uniform or
- 1:01:42not. We will keep coming out to keep
- 1:01:46this name held high. Because this name
- 1:01:50is the life and hope of all our
- 1:01:51generations. You have set out to put
- 1:01:55chains on the feet of a wild elephant.
- 1:01:58Not to extinguish anyone else's lamp.
- 1:02:02We have set out to keep our own lamps
- 1:02:04burning. Friends, success is a gift
- 1:02:08from God. If He wills, it will be in
- 1:02:11your share. May God keep you safe.
- 1:02:16Nara-e-Takbeer, Allah-hu-Akbar.
- 1:02:19Nara-e-Takbeer.
- 1:02:20Allah-hu-Akbar.
- 1:02:23Brother, I am still very worried. You
- 1:02:27and Faisal came here. I keep thinking
- 1:02:31that if Mom and Dad had tried, they
- 1:02:32could have come too.
- 1:02:34Lala, we tried our best. But we only
- 1:02:37got two seats. We even told Mom and Dad
- 1:02:40that they should go. But they didn't
- 1:02:42agree. They said, "Who would we leave
- 1:02:44you with?" Now there is no contact to
- 1:02:46even get news of their well-being.
- 1:02:49I tried hard to contact Javad brother
- 1:02:50in London, but he couldn't be reached
- 1:02:52either.
- 1:02:53Brother, tell me the truth. There is no
- 1:02:57danger there, is there?
- 1:02:59Just pray, Lala, that everything stays
- 1:03:01fine. We have seen scenes that make the
- 1:03:04soul tremble. It doesn't seem like this
- 1:03:06level of cruelty can be done by one
- 1:03:08brother to another. This is definitely
- 1:03:09the work of outsiders. Sipahi, I'm
- 1:03:13thinking that if I could contact my
- 1:03:16parents, I'd at least tell them that if
- 1:03:18they can't come here, they should head
- 1:03:21to another country. What are you saying
- 1:03:24, Lala? Will they just walk away? All
- 1:03:27flights in every direction have been
- 1:03:29grounded. Now, if any flight comes, it
- 1:03:31can only come to Karachi.
- 1:03:34May God have mercy. Hey, Manual.
- 1:03:54Yes.
- 1:03:55Our CEO is a brave man.
- 1:03:58Yes, Siddique, that he is.
- 1:04:00Hey, listen to the whole thing
- 1:04:01patiently, I said he is!
- 1:04:02So what is it? Speak up, tell me
- 1:04:03quickly what's the matter.
- 1:04:05The CEO said two main things in the
- 1:04:07broadcast that warmed my heart.
- 1:04:10Yes, that's right.
- 1:04:12Man, I tell you, friend, I wouldn't be
- 1:04:15a cook, I'd be a torpedo man.
- 1:04:18What would you have done?
- 1:04:21I would have fulfilled my heart's
- 1:04:24desire, fired two torpedoes, and, what
- 1:04:27do they call it, laid mines in
- 1:04:29Visakhapatnam. Oh, you madman, just do
- 1:04:33the job you're capable of doing
- 1:04:36properly.
- 1:04:37Man, so what do I do with the rice and
- 1:04:39chickpeas? Tell me. Tell me, then. I'll
- 1:04:41tell you. I'll tell you. Listen, take a
- 1:04:45hook and line and swim out there. And
- 1:04:50bring back a whale from out there. Then
- 1:04:54make fish fry for everyone. And put
- 1:04:57potato chickpeas on the plate and feed
- 1:04:59everyone.
- 1:05:00Alright.
- 1:05:02Wait, let me make your finger fish. Get
- 1:05:05lost.
- 1:05:17And brother Awan, how are you? How do
- 1:05:19you feel?
- 1:05:20Sir, absolutely fine, on top of the
- 1:05:22world.
- 1:05:23Good. Sir, why did you specifically ask
- 1:05:26Awan?
- 1:05:26You know, this is the first time he's
- 1:05:29been separated, so I'm more worried
- 1:05:32about him, and Lieutenant Awan seems a
- 1:05:35bit light. Huh?
- 1:05:36Yes, sir. A lot.
- 1:05:38Do you know why that is? Now we have
- 1:05:40finally realized where we have to go
- 1:05:42and what we have to do.
- 1:05:44Correction, my dear young man. Where to
- 1:05:48go, what to do, and why to do it. This
- 1:05:52"why" is very important. Let me tell
- 1:05:57you something, if the purpose and its
- 1:05:59moral justification are both present,
- 1:06:02then duty is performed with double the
- 1:06:04enthusiasm.
- 1:06:05Excuse me, sir, duty is duty. It must
- 1:06:08be performed in any case, rising above
- 1:06:10right and wrong.
- 1:06:11Correct, I agree. Look, today if I had
- 1:06:15told the ship's company, my 92 friends,
- 1:06:18that our target is Visakhapatnam Port
- 1:06:20and hadn't said why it was being
- 1:06:22targeted, they still would have done
- 1:06:25exactly what they are doing and will do
- 1:06:27, with the same passion and skill. Of
- 1:06:31course, sir. Then why did I say that we
- 1:06:34are not heading out to blow out someone
- 1:06:37else's lamp, but to keep our own
- 1:06:39burning? Obviously, it is not always
- 1:06:42necessary to respond to every action
- 1:06:44with morality, or is it? Absolutely not
- 1:06:46. Correct.
- 1:06:47Right, sir.
- 1:06:48But my dear, a submarine is a weapon.
- 1:06:51And a weapon doesn't explain itself.
- 1:06:53Undoubtedly, sir. We operate the
- 1:06:55submarine. And humans are thinking
- 1:06:58creatures. If we know from the very
- 1:07:01first moment that we are not out for
- 1:07:03some senseless destruction. But to
- 1:07:06break the aggressor's wrist, then we
- 1:07:08should say this out loud.
- 1:07:10Very true, sir. So that, my dear Pervez
- 1:07:13Hamid, no dark shadow of a crooked
- 1:07:15question ever falls on personal or
- 1:07:16national conscience.
- 1:07:18Roger, sir.
- 1:07:20This will ensure, Lieutenant Commander
- 1:07:22Shamshad, that while reading history,
- 1:07:24our children will have that—what does
- 1:07:26Siddique call it—what will remain?
- 1:07:28I think it will be peace of mind, sir.
- 1:07:30Negative, confirm peace of mind.
- 1:07:36And this peace of mind is all that
- 1:07:38matters. Man, my throat is parched.
- 1:07:41Siddique, get me some coffee, but...
- 1:07:44Understood, sir. That small coffee, Raj
- 1:07:47Sahab, Raj Sahab.
- 1:07:56Chief Sahab, what are you doing, sir?
- 1:07:59He’s asking what I’m doing? Am I
- 1:08:01doing something wrong?
- 1:08:03Not wrong, Chief Sahab. But this isn't
- 1:08:05your job, right? It is the submarine's
- 1:08:08job, isn't it?
- 1:08:09Yes, sir.
- 1:08:10Neither yours nor mine, it is
- 1:08:11everyone's job.
- 1:08:12Then what is the argument about? Go
- 1:08:13fetch me a wrench.
- 1:08:15It's not an argument, Chief Sahab.
- 1:08:16I am your disciple. After all, I am the
- 1:08:18teacher. How could I dare to say
- 1:08:19otherwise? But the point is, Chief
- 1:08:21Sahab, I am on board and you are doing
- 1:08:22my job. It doesn't look right, Chief
- 1:08:24Sahab.
- 1:08:24And what’s the big deal, my friend?
- 1:08:26When I was new here, I was a junior
- 1:08:28just like you. It doesn't matter.
- 1:08:31Chief Sahab, give it to me. I will
- 1:08:32finish it.
- 1:08:33No, no, my friend.
- 1:08:34Give me everything.
- 1:08:35Hey, you have a fever, son. Do one
- 1:08:38thing, go rest. Good, I’ll handle it.
- 1:08:42Good. Okay, Chief Sahab.
- 1:08:44Yes?
- 1:08:45I had a request for you.
- 1:08:46Yes?
- 1:08:47Sir, the CO shouldn't know about this
- 1:08:50fever.
- 1:08:51Why? Sir, he is the Commanding Officer.
- 1:08:54His focus should only be on the boat's
- 1:08:56mission. But sir, whenever he hears
- 1:08:58about someone's injury or fever, he
- 1:09:00rushes out of his cabin immediately to
- 1:09:02visit.
- 1:09:04Yes, my friend Nazir Ahmed, thank God
- 1:09:06we have a very good CO. You do one
- 1:09:08thing, sir.
- 1:09:09The red toolbox, bring the spanner from
- 1:09:11inside it. The oil is leaking, I need
- 1:09:13to tighten it.
- 1:09:14Yes, sir.
- 1:09:23Hey, Satya.
- 1:09:24Yes, sir? When was the last time you
- 1:09:32took a bath? He bathed six days ago,
- 1:09:35properly. Hey, you fool, we don't know
- 1:09:38how many more days we have to stay here
- 1:09:40. You do one thing, go to the pump room
- 1:09:44.
- 1:09:44Yes.
- 1:09:45And tell them that the air conditioning
- 1:09:46water that's collected......fill it in
- 1:09:49a bucket and give it to him.
- 1:09:50Go, Raj sir.
- 1:09:52Go. Number one.
- 1:10:09Sir.
- 1:10:11When was the last broadcast received
- 1:10:12and what were the signals?
- 1:10:13Sir, the last broadcast was received 12
- 1:10:15hours ago. Two important signals.
- 1:10:18Hmm. What's the water status?
- 1:10:23Sir, full capacity is compromised.
- 1:10:25Rotis and fresh vegetables are finished
- 1:10:27. From tomorrow, rice will be served
- 1:10:29for all three meals. Lazar.
- 1:10:44Sohail, buddy, when I lie down at night
- 1:10:48, I feel anxious. During the day, I
- 1:10:52just want to keep lying down. Buddy,
- 1:10:54you don't have a fever, do you? Maybe.
- 1:10:58Doesn't look like it, though. Oh ho ho.
- 1:11:02I think you should just take some
- 1:11:04medicine from the XO. He'll just give
- 1:11:06the same two pills, what else will the
- 1:11:08XO give?
- 1:11:08Look, if you don't want medicine from
- 1:11:11the XO, then go see a specialist
- 1:11:12properly.
- 1:11:13Specialist? Who?
- 1:11:15Oh, who else? Our CEO, who else? Oh man
- 1:11:21, I'm not that sick. No point in
- 1:11:25bothering the CO for nothing. Man, I'm
- 1:11:28not getting any fresh air. I feel like
- 1:11:33opening the Ghazi's hatch and going up.
- 1:11:37Lie on the deck and take deep breaths.
- 1:11:41What manual? Buddy, if you go out, do
- 1:11:45me a favor.
- 1:11:47What favor? Bring a hook. A hook?
- 1:11:52What's that? You don't understand?
- 1:11:55No.
- 1:11:55Oh, you forgot. That whale-catching
- 1:11:59hook, man, the hook!
- 1:12:04That was a joke.
- 1:12:06Now I can't even laugh.
- 1:12:09Rani.
- 1:12:09This guy stays so happy in his songs,
- 1:12:11man. His voice sounds a bit dull. It's
- 1:12:16your imagination, just your imagination
- 1:12:17.
- 1:12:19Go on, ask him in the morning; if he
- 1:12:21needs anything, I'll make him some soup
- 1:12:22. Alright.
- 1:12:25I'll make some for you too, properly.
- 1:12:28Good.
- 1:12:31Okay, now you lie down.
- 1:12:34Try to sleep peacefully.
- 1:12:37How are you feeling?
- 1:12:39I'm fine, sir. Hmm. Siddiqui, take
- 1:12:43special care of him. Raj, there's no
- 1:12:46need to worry. Inshallah, we will
- 1:12:48finish this operation and return soon.
- 1:12:50Sir, don't worry about me. I am
- 1:12:53perfectly fine.
- 1:12:55Good.
- 1:12:58Are you okay?
- 1:13:00Sir.
- 1:13:02Thank you.
- 1:13:05Oh, wow. Hello, Assalamu Alaikum. Is
- 1:13:25this Commander Zafar's house? Who would
- 1:13:29you like to speak to? To Bhabhi.
- 1:13:34Mami, it's a phone call for you. Okay,
- 1:13:38I'm coming.
- 1:13:51Hello, Shaila, how are you?
- 1:13:53Assalamu Alaikum. How is Sameer, Bhabhi
- 1:13:56?
- 1:13:56He has a fever, it's 102.
- 1:13:59Okay, I'm coming over.
- 1:14:01Don't be silly. There's no need to come
- 1:14:03at this hour. Come in the morning.
- 1:14:05I am worried, Lala Bhabhi. You are all
- 1:14:07alone.
- 1:14:08I am not alone. Lubna is here, Baji is
- 1:14:10here, and Aamir is here.
- 1:14:12Then what happened? I can come over,
- 1:14:13can't I?
- 1:14:14Sit comfortably. There is no need to
- 1:14:16come. Well, tell me, why are you still
- 1:14:18not asleep?
- 1:14:19Listen, Uncle is awake. He will drop me
- 1:14:22at your place in a taxi.
- 1:14:24You just keep saying what you want. You
- 1:14:26never listen. I am applying a cold
- 1:14:27compress. His fever is coming down and
- 1:14:30anyway, Sameer is sleeping right now.
- 1:14:32Yes. Well, tell me, how is your health?
- 1:14:36You are okay, right? Just pray to Allah
- 1:14:39that everything stays fine. Yes, listen
- 1:14:41, don't forget to come to the Milad at
- 1:14:43my house tomorrow. Okay. Okay, God be
- 1:14:47with you. At this moment, we cannot
- 1:15:02afford to lose any gear.
- 1:15:03Roger, sir. Ghulam Nabi, what is the
- 1:15:06situation?
- 1:15:08Sir, there is a crack in one piston. We
- 1:15:10will have to shut down the piston.
- 1:15:12How much time will it take?
- 1:15:14Sir, it will take about 5 hours.
- 1:15:16Negative. How is that possible? Do you
- 1:15:19know the battery status?
- 1:15:20Yes, sir. Only one hour, one hour,
- 1:15:23Roger sir.
- 1:15:24Okay, sir. Economize electricity,
- 1:15:29economize electricity, Roger sir.
- 1:15:34Economize electricity, economize
- 1:15:38electricity. Excuse me, sir. Sir, both
- 1:16:38engines are fit. Now we can continue
- 1:16:40the mission. That's very good.
- 1:16:42Excellent, excellent. This is what I
- 1:16:45expected from you. Thank you, sir.
- 1:16:51Number one, prepare to come to
- 1:16:53periscope depth.
- 1:16:54Sir.
- 1:16:55Prepare to come to periscope depth.
- 1:16:57Let's knock along to engine. In the
- 1:17:17middle of all these exercises and maps,
- 1:17:20we shouldn't lose our Vikrant.
- 1:17:22No, sir. SP, what is the matter? Where
- 1:17:25are you? Hmm.
- 1:17:27Look, we have moved it out of Port
- 1:17:29Visakhapatnam and, at the moment,
- 1:17:32positioned it in front of East Pakistan
- 1:17:34.
- 1:17:35Hmm.
- 1:17:35And we are applying constant pressure.
- 1:17:38Hmm, so this is the position. You know,
- 1:17:43the Admiral and the high-ups, meaning
- 1:17:46the headquarters, also advised to keep
- 1:17:49the aircraft carrier Vikrant in the
- 1:17:52East and send destroyers to the West.
- 1:17:57So for this reason, we have already
- 1:18:00done that. Hmm, okay, I am leaving.
- 1:18:25Captain sir, we are now only 7 miles
- 1:18:27away from the mining area. From here,
- 1:18:30we will take course 350 and enter the
- 1:18:32mining area.
- 1:18:33Navigator, show me the chart. So that's
- 1:18:52it. Eye the target.
- 1:19:05Brothers, we are about to reach our
- 1:19:08target in a little while. Get ready
- 1:19:14quickly and stay sharp. Whether it's
- 1:19:17day or night, we must not falter in our
- 1:19:18task. Okay?
- 1:19:19Okay.
- 1:19:19Yes, Siddique.
- 1:19:33Attention all positions. This is your
- 1:19:37Captain. We have reached the target and
- 1:19:41are starting the mining operation. Be
- 1:19:45alert at action stations with all your
- 1:19:48skill, ability, and full conviction. In
- 1:19:52the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
- 1:19:54the Most Merciful. Captain, sir, we are
- 1:20:03ready for the mining operation. We are
- 1:20:06five miles short of the mining area.
- 1:20:09Steering course 350, wing motor ahead
- 1:20:1123, depth below keel is 50 meters.
- 1:20:14Action stations closed up, sir.
- 1:20:25Captain, sir, one mile to go to launch
- 1:20:27mine number one, sir.
- 1:20:29Roger, Captain, sir. Permission to open
- 1:20:31muzzle door, sir.
- 1:20:33Open muzzle door, tube number one. Open
- 1:20:35, open muzzle door, tube number one.
- 1:20:37Roger, sir.
- 1:20:38500 meters to go, sir.
- 1:20:44Tube number one muzzle door open, sir.
- 1:20:46Roger.
- 1:20:47100 meters to go, sir.
- 1:20:50Captain, sir, time to launch mine

- 1:25:13remain locked even at this. Pakistan
- 1:25:20Navy submariners do not leave work
- 1:25:22unfinished. I will say one more thing,
- 1:25:26colleagues, you have done a memorable
- 1:25:28job not just in Pakistan's naval
- 1:25:31history, but in the history of
- 1:25:33Pakistan's wars. Future generations of
- 1:25:40submariners will always respect and
- 1:25:42remember you pioneers. Inshallah.
- 1:25:55Siddique, bring your reassuring tea,
- 1:25:58but...The submarine Ghazi was
- 1:26:43successful in its courageous and brave
- 1:26:45mission. But in the final stage of the
- 1:26:49operation, while it was in extremely
- 1:26:51shallow water. Suddenly, due to strong
- 1:26:55currents in the sea, it collided with a
- 1:27:01mine laid by itself. In this way, 93
- 1:27:06Ghazi crew members embraced martyrdom,
- 1:27:09and in the naval history of war, these
- 1:27:11brave souls scripted an immortal tale
- 1:27:14of their courage and determination.
