== Plot ==
In November, 1971, [[India]] and [[Pakistan]] are on the verge of declaring war on each other, as a result of the [[1971 Bangladesh genocide|refugee crisis]] precipitated by the [[Pakistan Army]] under [[Operation Searchlight]]. The [[Indian Navy]] and [[Research and Analysis Wing|RAW]] decipher a secret code sent from [[Pakistan]] to [[East Pakistan]] (modern-day [[Bangladesh]]), relating to a possible attack on an Indian naval vessel. The Navy deduces that the target may be {{INS|Vikrant|1961|6}}, India's sole aircraft carrier. The top command dispatches the submarine ''[[INS Karanj (S21)|S21]]'', under the command of [[Captain (Indian Navy)|Captain]] Ranvijay Singh for recce missions. To temper Singh's belligerent tendencies, the Indian Navy Admiral assigns [[Lieutenant Commander|Lt. Cmdr]] Arjun Varma to ''S21'', with orders to ensure that Singh does not confront any Pakistani warships and trigger a war.

The Navy's top command soon learns that the [[Pakistan Navy]] has dispatched [[PNS Ghazi]], under Cmdr. Razak Khan, to the [[Bay of Bengal]] to confront '' Vikrant''. Meanwhile, to divert the attention of the enemy, ''Ghazi'' torpedoes an Indian merchant ship. The attack is picked by ''S21'', which races to the scene. Noticing survivors in the wreckage, Arjun jumps into the sea and manages to rescue a girl child and a woman, both of whom are [[Bangladeshis|Bengali]] refugees. During surveillance, ''S21'' acquires a sonar signal of ''Ghazi''.

Singh believes that they should track down ''Ghazi'' and attack, while Arjun obstructs, reiterating his instructions. Singh then orders the ship's [[Executive officer|EXO]], [[Lt. Commander]] Santosh Devraj to conduct a drill and target ''Ghazi'' while doing so, despite Arjun's protests. They fire a [[torpedo]], which misses ''Ghazi'' narrowly, thus alerting them of their presence. Aware of the enemy's presence, Razak orders his crew to head towards [[Visakhapatnam Port]] at full speed and to set up [[Naval mine|mines]] en-route, planning to destroy ''S21''.

''S21'' pursues ''Ghazi's'' path and realizes at the last moment that it is headed into mines. Singh and Arjun frantically attempt to change its course but a mine explodes in the stern and damages most of the sub's batteries, propellers and circuits. The sub blows open many leaks, with the forward torpedo compartment flooded, crippling the sub and barring it from firing its forward torpedoes. Singh dies while trying to save Arjun, as ''S21'' sinks to the sea-bed.

Arjun, now in command of the sub, regroups and work towards reviving ''S21''. They manage to clog the sub's leaks and pumps the excess water out, before holding a final farewell for Singh. The crew noticed that the vessel is incapable of moving in any direction, except upwards or downwards. Since they are unable to chase ''Ghazi'', the crew artificially trigger one of the naval mines in its vicinity to lure ''Ghazi'' to their position. Razak, believing ''S21'' is still operational, orders his crew to turn around to sink ''S21''.
Arjun and Devraj plan to lure Ghazi within its range of firing, but a suspicious Razak orders ''Ghazi's'' course to be changed at the last minute.

Ghazi, now having the ability to attack ''S21'', fires six torpedoes, all of which are avoided by ''S21'' through depth changing maneuvers, much to Razak's frustration. S21 dives to 350 m, in order to slip from Ghazi's sonar range despite being designed for a maximum of 250 m depth. With very limited battery support, Arjun instigates Ghazi into attacking by transmitting his crew singing '[[Saare Jahaan Se Achcha|Saare Jahaan se Achchha]]' and the [[Indian National Anthem]]. Riled up by ''S21's'' defiance, Razak orders another torpedo attack on ''S21'', for which Ghazi will have to turn by port 180 degrees. Arjun dives into the flooded forward compartment to manually trigger the torpedoes, successfully managing to do so. ''Ghazi'' also launches its torpedo at the same time. The torpedo launched by ''Ghazi'' misses ''S21'' narrowly, but it is hit by ''S21's'' torpedo and disintegrates in the water, killing the entire crew. ''S21'' surfaces and the crew manages to save Arjun from the flooded compartment in the nick of time. ''S21'' is later saved by a patrolling Indian Navy vessel.

The ending titles narrate the mysterious circumstances about ''Ghazi's'' fate, with its sinking credited to the actions of ''[[HMS Rotherham|INS Rajput]]''. It also mentions that in the aftermath of ''Ghazi's'' sinking, [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971|India and Pakistan had declared war on each other]], which would ultimately result in India's victory, Pakistan's surrender and the creation of [[Bangladesh]].

== Actual events ==
[[Indian Navy]] claims to have sunk the [[PNS Ghazi|PNS ''Ghazi'']] on 3 December 1971 at the [[Vizag|Vishakhapatnam]] harbour when then Captain Inder Singh of [[INS Rajput (D141)|INS ''Rajput'']] ordered the attack upon it. However the [[Pakistan Navy]] dispute the claim; as Pakistan naval inquiries believes the [[PNS Ghazi|''Ghazi'']] might have sunk due to it mistakenly entering its own minefield and collided with one of the mines, which resulted in the violent underwater explosion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.in/ghazi-attack-few-facts-that-you-should-know-about-one-indias-greatest-naval-victories-716268|title=The Ghazi Attack: A few facts that you should know about one of India's greatest naval victories|first=Parismita|last=Goswami}}</ref>
