"Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Sathiyo" is an unusual journey of love amidst hatred. It’s a film with a love triangle story, told within the backdrop of the Indian Army. It’s a story of two countries coming together in love, in order to fight hand-to-hand in a war against terrorism. Can there be an Indo-Pak friendship, with the hope of peace, harmony and democracy? Destiny plays a significant role, as it is snatched from some and given to others.

The bravery and honour of those determined to rid terrorism from the two nations are pitted against the devilish ruthlessness of those who crave it to reign supreme.

Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Major General Amarjeet Singh, a dynamic officer and a true patriot. For him, bravery is just not an attitude but a legacy to be passed on from one generation to the next. Will he be able to accomplish that goal?
Major Rajeev (Akshay Kumar), an outstanding army officer is a winner all the way. But will he lose his "love" to someone else?

Newcomer to the silver screen, Divya Khosla plays Shweta. She finds herself entangled in a helpless situation where she has to struggle to find her destiny. Who will she turn to for the answers, which she so desperately needs?

Bobby Deol is cast in a double role in this film. First, Lt. Commander Vikramjeet Singh, a young Naval officer who believes that you get only one life and what better way to spend it than serving the country that gave your identity. And second, Captain Kunal, a fallen hero desperate to prove his worth and to hold his head up high, showing that he loves his country as much as he loves life.

Col. Ashfaque Khan (Danny Denzongppa) is a brave Pakistani army officer, who believes in waging a “fair war”. Yet, he is helpless in the hands of his government and its unfair policies.
The other newcomer to the silver screen, Kapil Sharma takes on the part of Captain Trilok, a brave heart, whose love for his country is matchless.

Sakshi (Sandali Sinha) is an army doctor, with the heart of an angel. She heals the ailing and her loved ones. Will her care and devotion be enough to allow them to survive and win the war?

The role of the fiendish antagonist in this film has been given to Ashothosh Rana. As Sikander Khan, he is very convincing. He is described as having his mid being a devil's den, his heart a ruthless organ and his hatred for a nation and the lure of wealth, his driving passions. Will these strong qualities factor into a victory for him and the terrorist life he so cherishes?

December 3rd or 10th will reveal all the answers with the release of ATHWS in theatres. Don’t miss it!
