During a routine air check on a chopper by Squadron Leader Vikram Rathore(Sanjay Dutt) and Flight Lieutenant Shezad Khan (Sunil Shetty) they rescue Sepoy Tarun ?Tango Charlie? Chauhan (Bobby Deol) from the border of the Line Of Control. While bringing him back to the nearest hospital they discover his diary in which he has written excerpts from his life.
Starting as a new recruit in the Border Security Force who is stationed in Manipur under the leadership of Enigmatic Havaldar Mohammed ?Mike Alpha? Ali (Ajay Devgan). He fights the Bodo Militants who are lead by a ravage leader (Kelly Dorjee).
Then he is stationed to fight the naxalites in Interiors of Andhra Pradesh. After that he is stationed to control the communal riots in Gujarat and finally he is stationed to control the bridge which connects the main land of jammu and Kashmir with Kargil near the Line Of Control. Slowly his life emerges as a young recruit to the most senior member of his squad.
Detailed look in the life of the young men who courageously fight not only militants outside the country but also the militants within the country. We also see how Tarun never shows his emotions or trauma that he faces everyday fighting the militants to his family members when he is home on leave and his relationship with his Fiancee Lachchi (Tanisha Mukherjee). Good acting by everyone, especially Ajay Devgan. Bobby Deol has given a performance of a life time.
Good script and direction by Mani Shankar. The only glitch is that the romantic angle and the songs were unnecessary and haltered the length of what could have been a superb fast paced action flick. Largely inspired from Movies Like Platoon and Born on the fourth of July. A Must watch. Watch out for the best scene of the movie when Tarun Goes to the house of the man he killed in Gujarat.
Psst ?
1) The BSF is responsible for guarding India?s bordering area during the time of any War. The difference between BSF and the Army is that while Army fights the war against the ?enemy?, the BSF is the one who guards the villages, cities within the country.
2) There are more then 180, 000 personnel in the BSF. Nearly one-third of them are stationed iin Jammu And Kashmir.
3) Along with the Special Task force, the BSF are also employed to take over from the Police during any communal riots or any insurgency in any part of the country which becomes difficult to handle by the police.
