Sher Dil | 2019 | Mikaal Zulfiqar Armeena Rana Khan Hassan Niazi Sabeeka Imam

The film opens during the year 1965, where two Pakistani F-86 Sabre fighters are doing a CAP (Combat Air Patrol). Squadron Leader Sikandar and his wingman spot three Indian Folland Gnat fighters flying in Pakistani airspace. The PAF (Pakistan Air Force) planes engage the IAF (Indian Air Force) fighters. Sikandar shoots down 2 Gnats and then has his weapons get jammed. He then heroically gives up his life and crashes his plane into the final enemy jet to save his wingman. Fast forward to present day, Haris Mustafa (Mikaal Zulfiqar) who is the grandson of Sikandar Mustafa, and his best friend Fawad both dream of becoming fighter pilots. Haris's parents disapprove of his career choice. However, Haris's grandmother, widow of Sikander, is supportive of his ambitions. When Haris is accepted into the PAF academy, his father disowns him. At the academy, Haris and Fawad befriend Harijeet, a Pakistani Sikh. During this time, Haris meets and falls in love with Sabrina (Armeena Khan). Haris is then deployed at the same squadron as his late grandfather, the No. 16 Squadron "Black Panthers". Two Indian Mirage 2000's enter the Pakistani airspace and Haris and Irfan are scrambled to intercept them in JF-17's. Irfan shoots down one of the Mirages but then has his plane damaged due to the destroyed Mirage's debris and returns to base. Haris then engages in an intense dogfight with the second Mirage, but barely escapes with his life. Haris returns to the base where he learns his grandmother passed away. Although Haris survived the air encounter, his superiors are disappointed that he almost lost the plane and his life. They reluctantly send him to the International Flight School. At the flight school, he encounters Flight Lieutenant Arun Veerani, the same Mirage 2000 fighter pilot that he had engaged with earlier. Haris and Arun are initially very hostile to each other, but end up becoming friends.
