Lakshya

Romi challenges Karan to have a clear aim in life and a plan for the future. He starts considering a serious path in the Indian Army as a way to give his life direction. This realization marks the beginning of his journey toward military service.

Karan sits the Combined Defence Services Examination and is selected for the Indian Military Academy despite his parents' disapproval. The acceptance gives him a chance to prove himself and pursue a disciplined life. This decision sets the stage for the trials ahead at the academy.

Karan struggles with discipline during the early days at the academy. Frustrated, he escapes and returns home, devastating his parents. Romi ends their relationship, leaving him to confront his own choices.

Karan resolves to take his training seriously and accepts the punishment to reform. He progresses as a cadet, proves his resilience, and graduates with determination. He receives his commission as a lieutenant in the Indian Army.

Karan is posted to the 3rd battalion of the Punjab Regiment, stationed in Kargil, Ladakh. He returns home on leave and learns Romi is getting engaged, which unsettles him. The personal news contrasts with his growing military responsibilities.

The leave is interrupted by hostilities in Kargil, forcing him to return quickly to duty. He is promoted to acting Captain as the battalion prepares for combat. He steels himself for the challenges of frontline service.

Colonel Sunil Damle briefs the officers about infiltrators who crossed the LoC and seized peaks. He assigns the battalion to secure Point 5179, a key vantage that dominates the main supply route. The briefing outlines the strategic stakes of the mission.

The first phase of the operation attacks from the eastern side and destroys the enemy’s screening units, earning Karan a commendation. Romi travels to Kargil as a war correspondent, reconnecting with a changed Karan and rekindling their romance. The success boosts morale despite ongoing danger.

In the second phase, the battalion fails to capture the peak and suffers heavy casualties. The mission grows more perilous as enemy fire intensifies and the men question their odds. Karan remains focused but the cost of failure is grim.

Colonel Damle orders a bold plan: twelve officers and soldiers scale a 1000-foot western cliff to flank the enemy. The team battles freezing winds and perilous ledges, and only six survive the night push. The assault is driven by courage and resolve in the face of extreme danger.

The remaining six fighters push through the final assault and reach the Pakistani position under cover of darkness. Karan is injured but pushes on to reach the summit, where he kills the remaining intruders at dawn. He plants the Indian flag and signals his commander to confirm their victory.

A few days later, Karan is discharged from the military hospital and returns home to his parents and Romi. Their reunion brings closure for now, as Romi's feelings have been healed by the ordeal. The film ends with tributes to the martyrs of Operation Vijay.
