Plot

Captains Rajveer Singh Rana (Sharman Joshi) and Qureshi (Javed Jaffrey), who are military captains of India and Pakistan, respectively, are playing cards with their partners at the India-Pakistan border when a bomb explodes. Seventeen hours before, the Defence Minister of India called reporter Ruth Dutta (Soha Ali Khan) to talk about some top secret information and says after two days, war will be declared between India and Pakistan. Fourteen hours before the explosion, the Defence Minister of Pakistan and the Pakistani General contacted the Defence Minister of China for some help. The Defence Minister of China says he will attack New Delhi with a nuclear bomb. At the India-Pakistan border, the Pakistani army is becoming very lazy; the troops ignore commander Khan (Sanjay Mishra). On the battlefield, Captains Singh and Quereshi and their troops form a friendship and camaraderie based on a love of conversations and playing antakshari, a game of Hindi film songs and foods. Ruth Dutta, a television news reporter, arrives to make a documentary about the lives of the soldiers on the two sides. When war between the two countries is declared, the friendship between the two sides is tested and conspiracy theories are hatched.
