Storyline:
In 1971, the Indian Intelligence Bureau received critical information about Pakistan and China’s impending attacks on India within 10 days. With limited time and resources, IB agent Dev Jammwal tells his superior N.S. Avasti that the only plan to counter this threat is by implementing an airspace blockade, which blocked Indian airspace access to Pakistan and tried to show the violation of the Tashkent Agreement, which involves orchestrating the hijacking of an Indian plane by Kashmiri separatists and ensuring its landing in Pakistani territory. Initially dismissed as an implausible scheme by the government, they eventually recognized its potential and agreed to execute the well-structured operation. Complications arise when the entire team of passengers, comprising intelligence officers, find themselves lodged in a Lahore hotel, where events unfold in an unforeseen circumstance, thus deviating from the original plan.
