The SF commandos all look physically fit and probably trained genuinely with the uniform, weapons and equipment of the SF; quite evident from the brisk and tactical movements, quite unlike most Bollywood films.

Post this operation, Vihaan Singh seeking premature retirement to look after his ailing mother is prevailed upon, to instead take a desk job at the HQ Integrated Defence Staff (IDS). This sets up the story of his close friend (also an SF officer) being killed in the Uri terror attack while responding to and neutralizing the terrorists. The esprit de corps of the Para SF is well captured in the intervening scenes.

Then comes the opportunity to seek retribution once again through the surgical strikes across the LoC. Major Vihaan volunteers for this task by walking up to the Army Chief, and receiving approval and his brief.
