No one could crack the code

or no one bothered to?

This is an official enquiry.

Please answer my questions.

You can't hold me responsible now.

What happened in 1995

was a failure for our country.

I've left all this behind me.

Anyway, your system does not appreciate

talent that I have.

Arent you Ajitabh Raina's son?

He was awarded a

bravery medal in that war.

If he were here instead of you,

he would have put his country first.

The files on this floppy can't be opened.

You can keep it.

There are two parts to this plan.

First are the scientists and

the engineers who build the bomb.

Secondly, we have the army

who install these bombs.

And then, there was the third part,

the most important one

which nobody paid attention to.

We were caught because

the Pokhran range is open and spread out.

All the preparations were made

in broad daylight.

Because Mr. Yadav and his team

had not read my whole plan.

No one bothered to open the files

and I wasnt given a chance

to explain the details.

What was so important?

The American Lacrosse satellites

keep a watch on us all the time.

These Lacrosse satellites also helped

America immensely during the Gulf War.

Their zoom lenses are powerful

to even read

the time on somebody's wristwatch.

They also use thermal imaging

to capture images at night.

Nothing stays hidden from them.

Their vision can

penetrate through clouds.

So my plan was to avoid them completely.

How would you do that?

Indian Space Agency.

But isn't that a

civilian organization?

This is the only organization which

could monitor the American satellites

and give us a timeline

during which we could work in Pokhran.

My plan was to accommodate

science and common sense.

But nobody listened to

what I had to say.

India would have been

a nuclear state today.

We will be.

We are planning another test.

After listening to your plan, I have a

feeling we'll be successful this time.

The plan isn't as simple as it seems.

Since you arent interested.

And why would you be?

Anyone who takes up this job, won't get

any official post, salary, medal, nothing.

If you come across anyone

who would be interested...

This is not a one man's job.

We have to assemble

a team for this mission.

Go ahead.

Ashwat?

Ashwat!

Why are you sleeping here?

Why dont you sit with Mummy

and Papa while I make breakfast?

Please take off your slippers.

We are watching Mahabharata.

How did only five Pandavas

manage to defeat the hundred Kauravas?

They took Lord Krishna's advice.

While there were only five Pandavas,

each of them had a specific goal.

This focus made them very powerful.

Powerful enough to
