Plot

Border is the story of Abhay Shastri, an Indian army officer seeking revenge against Pakistan. Originally a farmer, his elder brother Vijay is an army captain. Abhay falls in love with Nagma, a Muslim girl from the village. However, their father, Dinanath, disapproves of the marriage, prompting Abhay to rebel and marry Nagma anyway. Captain Vijay Shastri invites Abhay and Nagma to explore the border. They go to offer a chadar at a dargah. Upon hearing this, terrorists call Vijay and give him false information about an impending attack on the dargah. Vijay arrives at the dargah with the army. Seeing that there are fewer soldiers on the border, the terrorists attack and kill them all. They capture Arjun Singh and take him to Pakistan. Due to negligence, Vijay Shastri and his team were court-martialed by the army. Unable to bear the shock, Vijay committed suicide. Abhay's mother, Janaki Maa, was devastated by the deaths of her two sons and the kidnapping of a third by Pakistan. She was hospitalised as a result. Dr Sahay suggested to Abhay that having a third son might help them recover from the deaths of their two sons.

Following Dr Sahay's advice, Abhay enlisted in the army after completing his training. Impressed by his bravery, the army asked him to carry out 'Mission Border'. In order to complete this mission, he requested that the army include the previously dismissed commandos Amit Singh, Aditya Singh, Abdul Hameed, Vinod Pandey, Rajesh Yadav and Baljit Singh in his team. This request was approved. The army approved the request. After preparing, Abhay and his soldiers attacked Pakistan, killing all the terrorists, including Arjun. During the operation, two soldiers, Amit Singh and Abdul Hameed, were killed. Janaki Maa recovered after seeing her son Arjun alive, and Pandit Deenanath Shastri accepted Nagma as his daughter-in-law.
