00:00It is said that those who do not want to die for anything, they often have a lot of
00:29reasons to live.
00:30Didn't you understand?
00:31Neither did I.
00:32Since childhood, I don't know how many times I have thought about what I want to fight
00:36for.
00:37Then once when I asked my heart, it pulled me here, Armed Forces Academy, where not diamonds
00:42in coal, but heroes are scattered among heroes.
00:45No, no, not Sunny Bobby's hero, real heroes, Officers of the Indian Army.
00:52Just like the ideal Bengali parents, my parents also saw me dreaming of getting a PhD by studying,
00:59but me and Dr. Manoj Mitra, no way.
01:02After all, when the whole world was sleeping on the Pamela of Baywatch, I was writing
01:08a thesis on the border and the army.
01:11Dadu used to say, Son Manoj, there is a difference between the land and the sky in the army and
01:19the sea.
01:20Now who will argue with him?
01:22We fell from the sky and got stuck in our Garuda company somewhere in the middle of
01:27the army and the sea.
01:29Brother, is this our hostel?
01:31Not hostel, company, like houses used to be in school.
01:35Well, this is our Garuda company.
01:38I think we got really lucky.
01:41I think this is the best company.
01:44Not really.
01:45It's one of the worst.
01:48You are going to be a big shot.
01:51I am going to be a big shot.
01:53You are going to be a big shot.
01:56You are going to be a big shot.
01:59You are going to be a big shot.
02:02I think this is the best company.
02:04Not really.
02:05It's one of the worst.
02:07How do you know?
02:10Excuse me.
02:11Let's go.
02:32The 96th World Cup, the semi-finals of India-Sri Lanka is the biggest tragedy of my life.
02:58Guess what?
03:00I was wrong.
03:02This!
03:04This badge right here is the biggest tragedy ever happened in my entire life.
03:12Congratulate everyone.
03:16You!
03:21Should I train you to stand straight?
03:23Should I sell you bagphone and buy you vada pav from the police station?
03:27There are three things I always remember in life.
03:30The first French kiss, Sachin's crazy cover drive and my drill sergeant's brawl.
03:39You're having a lot of fun.
03:41Hero.
03:43Just happy to be here, sir.
03:45You're a first term cadet, damn it!
03:48You have nothing to be happy about.
03:50Ranveer Dhanwa.
03:52Son of Lieutenant General Dhanwa.
03:59Your wife, Prithvi, is the best cadet of her course.
04:03Are your wives solid like you?
04:06Or are they weak like them?
04:20From today onwards, you will have a second term cadet mentor.
04:25Who will teach you the ABCs of AFA.
04:29But before that, I would like to clear two things.
04:33You will work hard and you will follow cadet's oath.
04:39Tell me, Dhanwa.
04:41In your house, instead of chanting mantras, you must be chanting cadet's oath, right?
04:46Yes, sir.
04:47What?
04:49Yes, sir.
04:52So teach to them.
04:55I promise.
04:57I promise.
04:58To be loyal, sincere, devoted.
05:01And faithful to myself.
05:03And faithful to myself.
05:05And uphold the integrity of this institution.

05:52Under all circumstances.
05:53Come in.
06:16Is everything alright?
06:18Everything alright?
06:19Yes.
06:20This is the first time I've seen a two-floor bed.
06:23And it looks like a staircase.
06:29Are you a fan of Shah Rukh?
06:32He's from Bhazigarh, isn't he?
06:34No, he's from 4G.
06:35Oh.
06:36Good show?
06:37It's the greatest show ever.
06:39Actually, I came to FAA after watching Lt. Abhimanyu Rai.
06:43He's so daring, brave, charming, patriotic...
06:49And his height is also the same.
06:52His nose is also the same.
06:54Very funny.
06:57What's up?
06:58The party's on?
06:59Awesome, man.
07:00Albert Marak, Randhir Dhanwa, Neeraj Tomar, Manoj Mitra.
07:06Fall in.
07:11Gagan Jha.
07:13Your second-term senior.
07:14He's the PM, CM, DM.
07:16In short, I'm your mentor.
07:20In the next few weeks, I'll teach you how to get up, sit, walk, sleep.
07:24Got it?
07:27You're in your first term.
07:29And in FAA, you'll be treated like a dog.
07:33Get ready in five minutes and meet me outside.
07:36Yes, sir.
07:44Come on, guys.
07:45Match my pace.
07:47In FAA, the most important thing is your company.
07:52Your instructor, classmates, everyone will change.
07:54Even your looks.
07:55But the only thing that won't change is your company.
07:58This company will be your home for the next three years.
08:00Got it?
08:02Come.
08:10These guys are from the company.
08:11They think they're the best.
08:13They don't know that my sister has a moustache taller than theirs in Patna.
08:16There are eight companies in total.
08:18And every year, this will be our inter-company championship.
08:21If you help in the company competition, then your life will be good.
08:26The Chetak guys have been winning for two years.
08:28They have a lot of attitude.
08:29Arrogant.
08:31Their arrogance will break.
08:32They'll lose this time.
08:33You. Cut it.
08:37Where are you going?
08:38Sir, I'm a mentor, sir.
08:41Taking my first term for academy, sir.
08:44Cadets go for academy.
08:46But you gurus are not allowed.
08:50You know that.
08:53Come on. About turn.
08:55Sir.
08:57Quick.
09:03Give me ten more. Come on, quick.
09:05Sir, who is that?
09:06He is Ravi.
09:07Our battalion deputy leader.
09:09Our BDL is very rude.
09:11These Fateh company guys are our biggest enemies.
09:14Useless bloody fatwas.
09:16What do you mean by battalion?
09:17Look, we have two battalions in our F.A.
09:19Agni, Bharat, Chetak and Dhanush.
09:21One battalion.
09:22Ikka, Fateh, Garuda and Harmukh.
09:24The other battalion.
09:25And sir, our Garuda company is the best, right?
09:28Yes.
09:29We are the best.
09:31Our tradition is different.
09:32Our culture is different.
09:33Our traditions are different.
09:35Our war cry is the most emotional.
09:37Joshila.
09:50Now, let's go.
09:51Come on.
09:56This is our PT ground.
09:58Do you see the drill square on the right side?
10:00You will have your drill practice here in the morning and evening.
10:04Battalion Commander Major Safarwal.
10:07He is punishing the third termers.
10:09Dilip, hands up.
10:11The sixth termer with him.
10:14BCL.
10:15Correct.
10:16Battalion Cadet Leader Kabaljeet Singh.
10:19He is the discipline in charge of our company.
10:22Sir, cadet leader means he is above BDL?
10:25Of course.
10:28Kabaljeet Singh is the pride of our company.
10:30Now he is bullshitting third termers.
10:34Come on, look here.
10:35When a senior is being punished,
10:37a junior can't enjoy that sight.
10:39Run ahead.
10:40Come on.
10:43So, this is our old cantonment market.
10:45The bank facilities are available here.
10:46You can deposit and withdraw money.
10:48You can cut your hair.
10:49You can click photos.
10:50There is no problem.
10:51You can go to the canteen and eat whatever you want.
10:53And you can buy all your clothes here.
10:55You can send a letter at home.
10:56You can fax.
10:57If you can't do that, you can call directly.
10:58Do you understand?
10:59So, there is an important rule of this cantonment market.
11:0221 are strictly not allowed.
11:05Without senior permission.
11:07Do you understand?
11:11What happened, Nagale?
11:12Are you tired?
11:14I am from Meghalaya.
11:16Meghalaya?
11:17It's just one thing.
11:19It's not just one thing.
11:21Doubtful looks.
11:23Again?
11:26Son, you are from Chimambaro.
11:27I know how to do it properly.
11:29Do you want to see?
11:31Look.
11:52If I have any superpower,
11:54it is to find silver lining even in hopeless situations.
11:57And hello,
11:58this is not just a crew cut.
12:00It's the mark of a man.
12:03Then this smile is a must.
12:05You look very happy.
12:07Why not?
12:08Crew cut is the best haircut in the world.
12:10It's fast, low maintenance and stylish.
12:13Isn't it, Randhir?
12:14Garuda company?
12:17Mess in 30 minutes.
12:20You all should be showered and ready by then.
12:31Manoj,
12:33why didn't you eat rice?
12:35I think he got satiated after seeing you eating.
12:40What happened?
12:41Are you missing your mother's fish?
12:44Yes, fish.
12:45Tell me.
12:46I don't like fish.
12:48Sir,
12:49the market we crossed,
12:52can I go there later?
12:54Why?
12:56I don't know.
12:57Sir,
12:58can I go there later?
13:00Weekend market?
13:01Yes.
13:02Why?
13:05Just like that.
13:06Just like that?
13:08Didn't I tell you before the weekend,
13:10without senior permission,
13:11you kids are not allowed.
13:13Didn't you understand?
13:16Sorry, sir.
13:19Some cadet is missing his dinner after getting punished.
13:22What's going on?
13:25That chair is always empty.
13:28Why so?
13:31Many cadets from our cadets went to fight for the country at the border.
13:35So this chair is in their memory,
13:36which will never come back.
13:52The first day of the F.A. was just a precaution.
13:56And when the car finally reached Vishram...
14:07But it's okay.
14:08We live to fight another day.
14:23I have seen dreams that have no sound.
14:27Life is stubborn, where will it go now?
14:30We have learned to break the broken relationships.
14:34Where do we keep the heart's desires?
14:37My eyes are like a heart that has no consciousness.
14:40The whole life has been taken from me.
14:44This heart is like a window that is closed from inside.
14:47The heart is like a window that is closed from inside.
14:50The whole life has been taken from me.
14:53This heart is like a window that is closed from inside.
14:57This heart is like a window that is closed from inside.
15:05Hey, Nitra!
15:06Sir.
15:07Come here.
15:08Yes, sir.
15:09Don't run.
15:11Get down.
15:17Get down.
15:27Let's go to the window.
15:29No.
15:4745.
15:4846.
15:4947.
15:5048.
15:5149.

16:1570.
16:1650.
16:21What are you looking at?
16:23Eyes down.
16:25Sir, after push-ups I can clean your room.
16:30Good idea.
16:31Stand up.
16:32Thank you, sir.
16:38What are you looking at?
16:40Drop down.
16:42And give me 50 more.
16:47Give me 50 more.
16:56Go.
16:57We are going to the market.
16:58Are you coming?
16:59Yes.
17:06Listen, this is for cleaning the room.
17:10Lock it.
17:12And listen.
17:14Do you trust me?
17:16Trust.
17:17Understood?
17:18Damn.
17:22Finally.
17:23My first mission.
17:25You might be laughing.
17:26But mission is mission.
17:28Whether it is beating the enemy or cleaning the room.
17:31This was my chance to shine.
17:36What are you doing there?
17:37Come here.
17:39Look at this.
17:40007.
17:41Gagan Bond.
17:42Do you think he will give you a medal if you do the Gagan Chamcha Giri?
17:45I know there is no medal.
17:47Okay?
17:48Now return this underwear.
17:49Why are you getting tensed?
17:51What interest do I have in his underwear?
17:53He is not even a VIP.
17:54Give it.
17:55Leave it.
17:56Give it.
17:57Leave it.
17:58Leave it.
17:59Leave it.
18:00Leave it.
18:01Gagan Bond.
18:07It was torn.
18:09But I was more torn than him.
18:12Now he won't be able to wear this underwear.
18:16Come on, Guntla Khan.
18:17I will clean it.
18:41Hey, Manoj.
18:43Manoj.
18:45Manoj.
19:03Yes, sir.
19:08My cabin is looking great.
19:10You are becoming my favorite Ikki.
19:13Wow.
19:15And the reward.
19:17Where are you going to the market?
19:19Bring the cinema billets of this month.
19:22There is a poster of Madhuri Dixit in it.
19:24And if someone asks, tell them that the mentor has sent it.
19:26Return five rupees from him.
19:28Okay?
19:29Go.
19:46Hey, match.
19:49Randhir.
19:50Hi, buddy.
19:52Please don't call me match.
19:54Hey, why?
19:55It's such a nice name.
19:57I prefer Manoj.
19:58Okay.
20:00By the way, it's a very tiring routine.
20:03But you must be used to it, right?
20:05Your dad is a general.
20:07That's so cool.
20:09He must have so many stories.
20:11Yes.
20:12More than one.
20:14I will show you the way to the old can.
20:16Come on.
20:17But Gagan said that...
20:19Don't worry about all that.
20:21Tell me, which war should I start?
20:24Semi war.
20:36Excuse me.
20:38STD.
20:39Where do you want to place the call?
20:40Delhi.
20:41Ten rupees.
20:43Okay.
20:52Hello.
20:53Hello.
20:55Tanya.
20:57It's me.
20:59Randhir.
21:00Where were you all these days?
21:02You said that you will call when you reach your granny's place.
21:06I am at the...
21:08Armed Forces Academy.
21:13Hello.
21:15Tanya.
21:17Hello, Tanya. Are you there?
21:18Hello.
21:19I don't understand.
21:20I thought you told your dad that you are not going to the AFA.
21:23We were supposed to go to St. Stephen's together next year.
21:26I know. I just...
21:28I got the acceptance letter from the US University.
21:31And I turned them down for you.
21:32Listen, I feel like Tanya, both of us knew that this was going to happen.
21:35I was practically just lying to myself about St. Stephen's.
21:39So you left.
21:40Without talking to me.
21:41You fucking coward.
21:43Tanya, listen, it's just a matter of six months, okay?
21:45My first term will be over and then I'll come and visit you.
21:47I swear.
21:48I'm going to write you letters, okay?
21:49So...
21:50Just go to hell.
21:51No, Tanya, seriously, please listen to me.
21:52Hello.
21:53Tanya, listen.
21:55Tanya, hello.
22:06We were all in the same train at the AFA.
22:08But we were travelling in different buggies.
22:11And we were all carrying our own baggage.
22:27General sir.
22:32You loved Madhuri Dixit so much that...
22:35you sent two of them to the old town market?
22:39And I found out about this from BDL Ravi.
22:44Hmm?
22:47Hey.
22:49What happened?
22:50Confused?
22:53When a cadet repeats a term,
22:56he's called a brigadier.
22:59If he repeats it twice,
23:01he's called a general.
23:05Gagan Jha.
23:08I made you their mentor.
23:09I thought you'd change.
23:11But you're firing at me.
23:14Get your first numbers in control, damn it!
23:17And the same goes for all of you!
23:20Understood?
23:38Okay.
24:08Good morning, Manoj.
24:39Ah.
24:43What happened?
24:46How do you feel?
24:48Huh?
24:49Does it hurt?
24:50Huh?
24:53I heard you were crying on the phone for a girl at the old town market yesterday.
24:58Huh?
25:00Did you cry a lot?
25:02Huh?
25:09She broke your heart?
25:13Did she break your heart?
25:17Why are you getting upset?
25:19Hey, guys.
25:21He's getting upset.
25:23This seems to be a serious matter.
25:27What was her name?
25:28Tanya.
25:29Tanya?
25:30And listen, fools!
25:33From now on, if anyone...
25:35From now on, if anyone...
25:38If anyone of you does anything stupid, you'll be taken to him.
25:42Understood?
25:48Let's go.
25:49Let's go.
26:04Civilians like you shouldn't even get admission in EFM.
26:09Do you remember the first line of Cadet South?
26:11A cadet must always be loyal.
26:14Randhir, I swear, I didn't say anything to her.
26:16Who said anything to her?
26:18Randhir, what's the point of fighting amongst ourselves?
26:21That's why he screwed up.
26:24Neeraj is right.
26:25Gagan has crossed the line.
26:28We'll have to teach him a lesson.
26:30Manoj.
26:32Do you have his underwear?
26:39I promise to be loyal.
26:40I promise to be loyal.
26:42Sincere.
26:43Sincere.
26:44Faithful and devoted to myself.
26:45Faithful and devoted to myself.
26:47And uphold the dignity...
26:48And uphold the dignity...
26:50And integrity...
26:51And integrity...
26:52Of this institution...
26:53Of this institution...
26:54Under all circumstances...
26:55Under all circumstances...
26:57What?
27:00What are you looking at?
27:02Sir.
27:03What?
27:17Sir.
27:37Sir.
27:48Sir.
27:49I swear, sir.
27:51I didn't do it, sir.
27:52Just shut up.
27:53I swear, sir.
27:54You're lucky that no instructor saw you.
27:57And to settle this matter,
27:59I had to give my word to Ravi that I would punish the culprit.
28:03Sir, look at that.
28:06Sir, one of them has committed a crime.
28:10Hey, Manoj.
28:11Hey, Manoj, come here.
28:12Hey, tell me what happened.
28:13Gagan was very stubborn.
28:15Gagan was very stubborn.
28:17But I couldn't bear to see him get beaten up.
28:20But I couldn't bear to see him get beaten up.
28:21I just remembered one thing.
28:22I just remembered one thing.
28:23A cadet must always be loyal.
28:25Hey, Manoj.
28:26Hey, tell me what happened.
28:27Gagan, shut up.
28:30If you keep talking nonsense like this,
28:32I'll make you do this the entire week.
28:34I'll make you do this the entire week.
28:35Now give me one more.
28:36Sir.
28:46The matter had to be spread.
28:48And the matter spread like wildfire in the jungle.
28:51That we were the artists of this crime.
29:01But shall I tell you one thing?
29:03It's fun to commit a crime.
29:05But it's even more fun to not get caught by committing a crime.
29:11When life hits you with a bouncer,
29:13no matter how hard you try,
29:15only a friend can help you.
29:29I wish you could sleep now.
29:30I wish you could sleep now.
29:31You slept in the entire geography class.
29:33Why did you let me sleep?
29:34Yes, Manoj.
29:35You ask too many questions.
29:36You just love to suck up.
29:37You just love to suck up.
29:38You just love to suck up.
29:39But I don't give up, Manoj.
29:40But I don't give up, Manoj.
29:41Never mind.
29:42What are you doing?
29:43It's not serious.
29:45You are getting serious.
29:53One second.
30:04What the hell?
30:07How did this happen?
30:08It's all because of our company.
30:12You guys too?
30:30Who did this?
30:42What the hell is this?
30:44What?
30:46What is this?
30:47You lied to us.
30:48Okay?
30:49You punished the wrong credit.
30:50And let the real culprits go.
30:53I know all of this.
30:54All of this was done by your EQs.
30:59Be it a torn underwear or an atom bomb,
31:01it blows up when it hits the right spot.
31:04I came here to wave my flag.
31:06But there are so many dead bodies here.
31:08Who knows how badly my nakshatra is going to get spoilt in this Kurukshetra of AFA.
31:12We will know that later.
31:38We will know that later.
