Minor Spoilers
In Kashmir, Inayat Khan (Sanjay Dutt) is the supervisor of the police, married with the Hindu Neelima (Sonali Kulkarni) and having the beloved son Irfaan (Master Yogin Soni). After a mission against terrorists, Khan is hurt and a doctor, friend of his family, heals him, although the prohibition (called 'fatwah') by the terrorist Malik-ul-Khan (Puru Rajkumar), who fights for the independence of Kashmir. The doctor and his family are executed by Malik-ul-Khan, as an example to be followed by the other doctors. Some days later, Irfaan suffers an accident, and no doctor treats him, afraid of the 'fatwah' and the boy dies. Later, Khan gets an information where Malik-ul-Khan would be, and he goes to the place with his men wearing ninja mask. The terrorists are lodged in a house of a local family, and Khan and his men, blinded with the feeling of revenge, shoot in everybody in the house, including the father, the mother and the six years old sister of the young boy Altaaf (Master Mohsin). The boy becomes speechless and Neelima convinces Khan to adopt him. One night, the boy accidentally finds the truth and goes away from Neelima and Khan. Ten years later, Altaaf (Hrithik Roshan) becomes a terrorist, raised by the Afghan killer Hilal Kohistani (Jackie Shroff), and comes back with an assignment against Kashmir and a personal vendetta against his former father and presently Inspector Khan.
This unknown movie is one of the best action movies I have ever seen. The direction and the performance of the cast are outstanding. The soundtrack is something wonderful. The dances, with colored costumes and magnificent choreography, are marvelous. The special effects are also great. The screenplay is excellent, having a complex and dramatic story, and in order to help other users to understand the plot of 'Mission Kashmir', let me provide some additional clarifications based on the Heritage Illustrated Dictionary. India is a sub-continent situated in southern Asia and comprising the Republic of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Officially, India is called Republic of India. Kashmir, also called Jammu and Kashmir, is a territory occupying 86,024 square miles north of the Republic of India and between Pakistan and China; claimed as a state by India and partially occupied by Pakistan in a dispute dating from 1947. Therefore, the dispute in the movie is ancient. Although having a production of films greater than in Hollywood, movies from Indian 'Bollywood' are not common in Brazil. However, the sample that I have seen shows a high-quality industry with excellent movies. I agree with the comment of another user, who wrote that if 'Mission Kashmir' were an American movie, would be indicated (and even awarded) in many categories of Oscar. The unique negative remark is the end of the story, which is corny for my standards. But I do not know much about their culture and religion, and therefore the last scene might be acceptable for their beliefs. My vote is nine.
Title (Brazil): 'Missão Kashmir' ('Mission Kashmir')
Note: I received the following remark from an IMDb User on 14 Sep 2006:
"Well India is not a sub-continent but a country recognised by U.N. since its independence from British colonial rule in 1947 . Pakistan , Nepal , Bhutan , Bangladesh are other U.N.-recognised countries , separated from the main country of India . Sikkim is a state in India."
