In the true traditions of Hollywood, where great entertainers and stars visit US troops in far-flung hostile regions risking their lives for their nation, Jai Jawan is a show where our country's best-known film stars visit some of these unsung heroes of the Indian Army. Jai Jawan is not just an entertainment show, but an effort to bring some joy & happiness to the hard and lonely lives of our jawans who guard our borders in far-flung hostile regions. Aamir Khan and Rani Mukherjee have already featured on the show. Both the superstars traveled to the frontlines to meet the people who make India a safer place to live in. From the Dras-Kargil sector to the desert of Jaisalmer, Jai Jawan now travels with Shahrukh Khan to bring a cheer to the jawans posted at the Atari-Wagah Border.

If there is one sector of the Indo-Pak border that has been the centre of attention over many years, it’s the Atari-Wagah border near Amritsar. Jai Jawan travels to this popular and historic region to create history once again. After portraying many roles as an Indian Army officer, India's superstar Shahrukh Khan gets a taste of the real thing as he visits the jawans and soldiers of the Indian Army posted in this sector.

The show begins at the historic Atari-Wagah border where anchor Barkha Dutt talks about the significance of the location and introduces Shahrukh Khan to the jawans. She explains to the audience on how Shahrukh Khan is not just a guest on the show but is very much a part of it. Soon its time to meet the man himself and a short drive later the team arrives at one of the Army units close to the border area.

It’s an evening of entertainment and emotions as Shahrukh joins the jawans in their barracks as they unwind for the day. Not to be tied down to a single location Shahrukh even tries out his hand in an indoor firing range used for training commandos.

Soon its time to take the centre stage as Shahrukh meets over 500 jawans who have been eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of the Bollywood baadshah. From then on there’s no stopping the energetic Shahrukh. Along with the jawans, the bazigaar hero sings songs from his films and dances to tunes of his popular numbers. Emotions run high as jawans later listen to messages from their families back home.

No evening in Punjab is complete without the quintessential bhangra. The Sikh regiment belts out a Punjabi song accompanied by a vibrant bhangra performance. The sound of foot-tapping music fills the air and Shahrukh too finds himself swinging with the group thereby bringing the evening to an energetic end.
