Last week China conducted
one more nuclear test.
This was the 43rd nuclear test
conducted by the Chinese.
It is believed that
this atom bomb is powerful
enough to destroy
Our neighboring country
has conducted yet another test.
Now it is our turn
to give a befitting reply.
You tell me when and how.
I'll personally submit a report
to the Prime Minister.
Sir, we need to be very
careful with our words.
In my opinion, let's not
send our badminton team this year
to any tournament China is participating.
Sir. Let's ban Chinese food.
Lets refuse to export
Alphonso mangoes to China this year.
Are momos originally from China?
I am fond of them.
We should also conduct a nuclear test.
Huh?
Who are you?
Ashwat Raina, sir.
Which department are you from?
That's fine.
You can't just dish out
your opinions here.
Instead, you listen to us, mister.
Here we are, discussing
and criticizing their moves
and you've come up with
something completely irrelevant.
This is the time for action,
not criticisms.
What do you mean?
Should we also carry out an explosion?
If we have an atom bomb,
there will be peace in the country.
Your research is weak, Mr. Raina.
We possess an atom bomb since 1974.
That was a peaceful nuclear explosion.
There is a car in the garage.
How do we find out
whether we can still drive it?
You dont have to worry about the car.
Let him speak, Tripathi
while we wait for our tea.
Go on, son.
We're having a hush-hush conversation.
Why?
When will India be respected
by the rest of the world?
Take the USA for instance.
They have tested more than
a thousand atom bombs.
On land, under the water and in the sky.
Today, they are a superpower.
Following in their footsteps is China.
So far, they've conducted 43 tests
and are supplying
atom bombs to Pakistan.
An existential crisis looms
on the horizon
while we sit and criticize in fear.
Don't chant peace and cower in fear.
Take action and profess peace.
-There, our tea has arrived.
-Snacks as well.
Sir, I have the entire plan ready
on this floppy disk.
We can't let the Americans know
about this test.
Their satellites
Why dont you give me the floppy disk?
I'll handle this.
Give it to me.
Give it to me.
Listen.
-What did you say your name was?
-Ashwat.
Yes.
Avoid giving speeches
when you talk about these things.
These things need to be dealt sensitively.
Why dont you prepare a report on this?
-It will be ready by tomorrow.
-Hmm.
And yes, it has to be brief.
have the time to read lengthy reports.
Keep it short and simple
and Ill fix up your
next meeting with him.
You carry on.
Ashwat, come here.
This boy tires me out!
What's going on?
You seem to be very happy today.
Are you all right?
Come on,
I am not serious all the time. Yes, you are!
Always!
I deserve a medal,
just like your father.
For being so happy in spite of
having such a serious husband.
I think I will finally
be able to do something
for our country, just like dad.
You know, I might have a meeting with
the Prime Minister.
You know, he wanted me
to join the army like he did.
Ashwat, you don't need to don a uniform
to become a hero. Your attitude is enough.
And I am sure the Prime Minister will
definitely be impressed with you.
Now will you tell me
what this meeting is about?
I will.
After the meeting.
Come on, Ashwat! Do you want
I had to make it brief,
there is so much information.
-It had to be...
-Fine. Give me the file.
Sir, may I go with you?
Where?
Dont worry. I will handle this.
Sit over there.
You have no idea how useful
this nuclear plan is for our country.
Mr. Yadav has come up
with a brilliant idea.
Once we conduct this test,
our Chinese neighbors will know.
Don't chant peace and cower in fear.
Take action and profess peace.
That's great, sir.
Last morning,
American satellites got wind
of India's nuclear test.
After a strict warning
from President Clinton
the nuclear project
has been halted.
America has warned India
of military action at their nuclear sites
if they dont stop immediately.
Pakistan has also raised
strong objections in this matter.
Let me make it clear, we were
conducting routine checks in Pokhran
and not preparing for any tests.
This is a case of misunderstanding.
We will soon find out
who is behind this hullabaloo.
I have nothing to do with
the execution of this mission.
Mr. Yadav, you didnt even
let me meet the Prime Minister.
Arent you glad I didnt?
Your plan was terribly flawed.
You were so sure of it at the time.
Look what happened!
You embarrassed our country
Did anyone even pay
attention to my plan?
You cannot summarize
so much information
on such a huge project,
in two pages.
The mission was completed without me.
Now that it has failed,
I am being held responsible.
Since you knew all this,
why didnt you give us the full details?
Sir, I gave you the floppy disk.
Had you seen it...
You are suspended
with immediate effect.
Why is it dawn already?
Before I could even begin
It's all over
My coveted dream
Is now lost forever
Ashwat should've appealed against
his suspension order.
I gave you Mr. Sharma's number, Sushma.
