A nurse named Jasmine D’Almeida (Yami Gautam) is hired to look after Vihaan’s mother.

Were. One day his mother goes missing. He searches for her, and he blames Jasmine for ignorance and tells Jasmine that there is no need for her protection. Vihaan’s mother is found under a bridge, and Jasmine reveals herself as an intelligence agent. The film reveals why the families of Special Forces personnel were given security due to threats from North-Eastern terrorists.
Bleed India with Thousand Cuts (Uri, Jammu and Kashmir)
On 18 September 2016, four heavily armed terrorists attacked the brigade headquarters in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir at dawn, killing 19 soldiers in their sleep. The terrorists are killed, but Karan dies in a grenade blast due to accidentally pulling the pin attached to the terrorist’s rifle, which he picked up to investigate. The entire family including Vihaan gets devastated. The ministry decides to take strict action against the perpetrators of the attack. National Security Advisor Govind Bharadwaj (Paresh Rawal) suggests a surgical strike. The Prime Minister drops it and gives ten days to strike. Vihaan quits his desk job and leaves for the Northern Command base in Udhampur. He requests the Chief of Army Staff General Arjun Singh Rajawat (Shishir Sharma) to count in the operation to which he agrees. Vihaan picks elite lethal force commandos from Bihar Regiment and Dogra Regiment along with special forces as most of the soldiers killed in the attack belonged to these regiments. Vihaan informs them that they can no longer use their phones and disguises the mission as a routine training exercise. Commandos start their training.
Naya Hindustan (New India) (New Delhi)
During the planning, Govind joins ISRO (for providing satellite images), DRDO (for drone surveillance), and RAW (for intelligence). When he visits DRDO chief Brian D’Souza (Evan Rodrigues), he gets a chance to meet an intern named Ishaan, who has developed a drone named Garuda that looks and is shaped like an eagle. With the help of drones and satellite images, they can find out the whereabouts of terrorists and the exact location of the training camp. Jasmine reveals Vihaan to her real name as Pallavi Sharma, and during interrogation, the two uncover details about who had planned the attack. He chooses Seerat as his pilot, who wholeheartedly agrees. Govind also suggested intensifying artillery fire along the border to divert attention and painting his attack helicopters with Pakistani Air Force insignia. The commandos also start training under Vihaan. Pakistani officials suspect Indian activities but dismiss them as underestimating.
Surgical Strike (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir)
On the night of 28 September, commandos in Mi-17 helicopters set out for a strike in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. During the mission, Vihaan’s helicopter is forced not to cross the Line of Control due to the latest intelligence from spies in Pakistan that the Pakistani Army has deployed an “AWAC” early warning radar-based surface-to-air missile system in the Muzaffarabad sector. has done. helicopter down. He and his team improvise by walking through a cave (which was too risky due to darkness and the unknown presence of other terrorists). His team successfully infiltrate and kill all the terrorists at the two launchpads. Similarly, other commando teams also succeed in killing all the terrorists. Vihaan kills Idris and Jabbar, who are the perpetrators of the Uri attack. The local police are on alert, and the commandos who are short of ammunition and time run away. On their way back, they were heavily rained down by gunfire from both a nearby machine gun bunker and a Pakistani Air Force Mi-17 helicopter, which Vihaan’s team scrambled to stop. Flight Lieutenant Seerat comes to their rescue by firing back at the Pakistani gunship, thus driving it away and destroying the machine gun bunker. His team successfully crossed the LoC on the Indian side without any casualties. Rest of the assigned teams are also successful and come back without any casualties. Vihaan lands at Hindon Air Force Station in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The film ends with him, Pallavi, Govind, and the commandos happily having a formal dinner with the Prime Minister.
