Picket 43 is a 2015 Indian Malayalam-language anti-war film written and directed by Major Ravi, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Javed Jaffrey. The story centers on Harindran Nair, an Indian Army havildar stationed at a remote picket along the Line of Control, where he forms an unlikely yet profound friendship with Mushraff Khan, a soldier from the Pakistan Army stationed behind enemy lines.
The film was predominantly shot in Kashmir, with a few scenes in Ottappalam. Picket 43 was released on 23 January 2015 to generally positive reviews from critics. It was a profitable film considering theatrical collection and revenue from selling rights.
