Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: At ease. I've ordered you to rest. Even though I know for the next few days resting will be sin for us. Because we've been given such work that we won't get rest. Our aim is Kukarthang post. 3 Punjab and 16 Grenadier soldiers are trying to capture that post since some days. But the strength and ammunition of the enemies is such that our soldiers couldn't move at all. We've to go to help them. I know the task isn't simple. But looking at the guts, strength and history of the Gurkha regiment the task doesn't seem so difficult too. Any doubts?
All soldiers: No, sir!
Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: We'll go with ammunitions. But we'll have to go with stretchers too.
Soldier: It means many of us won't return.
Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: All of us will return, whatever state they're in. That's my promise. We won't leave even one soldier behind. Any doubt?
All soldiers: No, sir.
Thapa: But sir, some men will die.
Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: Sure. Maybe you don't know that angel of death is choosy too. It picks the most handsome of soldiers.
Thapa: Then I don't have any chance, sir. I'm not handsome.
Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: That's what you think, Thapa. Ask your mother how handsome you are.

While the actors could er.."act" well...they were'nt too convincing as fighting soldiers, starting from how the stormed an enemy post, to their stance. The intensity of the battles comes out through excellent use of sound and men shouting but the tracer bullets flying and the flamebursts from the weapons are simply not to be found. Thus when a soldier is supposed to fire a weapon, it does'nt really show. Also, the explosions from mortar, grenades and shells seem extremely impotent as the radius of the blast is extremely small and unconvincing.
The dialog however, is brilliant. Totally outstanding, perhaps worth the entire movie. There are enough swears in this movie on the lines of "motherfer" and "sisterfer" to give Pulp Fiction a run for its money. But since they are also used on the battlefield under pressure, it does not seem as wanton as in other movies. It is a real fact however, that such swears were used on the Kargil battlefield. Talk about attention to detail! The pressure on the soldiers did show, although the fighting did not. The actors did a great job at what they were told to do. If they were trained better and the action sequences better written and choreographed to make them a tiny bit realistic, they movie could have been a real winner. I did shed a few tears here and there though. Even though the action sequences are so flawed, the actors give it all their energy and the unbelievable sacrifices that the soldiers made were no doubt the driving force behind. This movie is worth watching if you keep an open mind. It is at least a good attempt at an honest tribute, even if at times, it can be embarrassing.
