What happens

LOC: Kargil is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language epic historical war film based on the Kargil War fought between India and Pakistan, produced and directed by J. P. Dutta under his banner "J. P. Films". The film features an ensemble cast of Bollywood stars and music composed by Aadesh Shrivastava and Anu Malik, with the former composing the score and the latter composing the songs. The film is based on the Indian Army's successful Operation Vijay that was launched in May 1999 in the wake of the Pakistani intrusion and occupation of the strategic heights in the Kargil sector to flush out the Pakistani intruders from the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC). Upon release, the film received a mixed response from critics and flopped at the box office. With a running time of 255 minutes, it is one of the longest Indian films ever made and fifth in terms of running time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
