Soorma (2018) - full transcript

Soorma is the story of the triumph of the human spirit, about a player, who made headlines for his miraculous comeback after facing a near death experience through sheer determination, hard work and unrelenting passion for the sport.

Sunny, Sunny, Sunny...

Brother, I'll be kicked out
of the team if I don't play.

And lose the job.

You're going to be fine.

Just fine.

Just stay with me.

Call Preet.

Please call Preet.

'I am Harpreet Kaur.'

'Used to play centre
forward for India.'

'But this story isn't about me.'



'It's about Sandeep Singh.'

Bikram brother...

I've heard that the coach
doesn't have a television...

so he punishes
us for his entertainment.

Shut up, Sandeep.

We'll get whacked if he hears this.

There'll be no stopping me if anyone
of you looks at the girls' team again!

I'll break your bones.

Three minutes.

Get 6 Samosas from Changat Ram.

Go run.

Samosas...

Samosas...

Changat Ram's?



Mangat Ram's?

Which one's?

Where did you get them from?

Man... Mangat Ram...

What did he do?
Why the punishment?

I'd asked him to get
Samosas from Changat Ram.

Idiot got them from
Mangat Ram instead.

C'm0n, what difference does it make?

It's the same shop
with two separate counters.

Everything is cooked
in the same kitchen.

And what a great kitchen it is,
I must say.

Poor boy is unnecessarily
getting his back broken.

So?

Doesn't look like...

He ran away

I don't think he's going to come back

If he wants to play hockey in Shahbad,
this is where he'll have to come.

And there's always his elder brother
to complete his punishments.

Bikram!

Why do you want to quit Hockey?

Your brother took your
share of punishment already

Anything but Hockey.

There's no way I'm
going back to that Kartar.

Calm down.

Try to get some sleep.

Come on.

"Oh merciful Lord,
let me stay at Your feet."

"Oh merciful Lord..."

Gurcharan, he's just a kid.

He'll take up some other sport.

You over think and
worry unnecessarily.

Can't help it, brother.

I am a bit nervous since
I lost my house in the flood.

If you hadn't given us
a place to stay...

Enough.

Talk about your house again and..

I'll keep the
kids and Daljit here...

and throw you out.

Who are you talking about?
Who are you going to throw out?

This one. Who else!

I have raised and made him a man.

And now he's trying
to act like my pop.

And now he's trying to be my father.

Sit.

Okay, bro.

Don't get angry.

Tea's getting cold.

"Oh merciful Lord,
let me stay at Your feet."

"Oh merciful Lord..."

My brave child!

This entire farmland belongs to us.

You can do whatever you like here.

Just don't let the birds
come near the crop.

We'll have lunch together.

Do you know how to drive a tractor?

- Not yet.
- I'll teach you.

I'm gonna learn to drive a tractor!

Oh no...

Yes!

Sandeep!

Let's go, dude.
We're getting late.

Your brother must
be starving to death.

Hurry UP-

Slow down, man.

I can't hold on to anything.
Both my hands are busy feeding you.

Gujji, my friend, I'll either die
in an accident if I let you ride...

or I'll die of hunger
if you don't feed me now.

Don't you think it would be
better if you stop cribbing...

and focus on giving me a bit
of the pickle instead.

Oh really?

Stuff it all in then!

Hey. Not all of it, dude!

How you doing, boys?

Coach, 'I must say' Bikram's
turned out to be a good player.

I have trained him to be a good one.

How long do you want these kids
to be hanging from up here?

No one will get down
before four hours or I'll

break your backs with
your hockey sticks.

Heard that?

Four hours.

Take me along.

Let me finish the Samosas first.

I'm leaving.

No, wait.

Hey!

That's enough.

Coach sir good evening.

Good evening sir.

Preet pass the ball.

Hold this.

Presenting...

Where's all the pickle, bro?

Why didn't you finish off
the bread as well?

What am I supposed to eat
the bread with, my dear?

With my love.

Hockey players shouldn't be
eating too much of pickles.

Have fun while you can, sonny.

Your time shall come too.

For now, it's time for me to leave.

Have some.
- No, thanks.

I'm a very busy person.

Where are you off to, Mr. Busy Person?

Bye!

You got the samosa, right.

Now keep hanging up side down. You
won't get chance to play hockey anyways.

I told you to hold on to the bike,
not to lay it down.

Thanks to you, racing the bike...

the accelerator cable has snapped.

Your bike is from the ancient age.

What else do you expect?

Move aside. I'll fix it.

Here comes the doctor of automobiles!

What the...

Did you get a shot
in the rear, doctor?

Pass the ball

Stop staring with your mouth open

Your mouth might just start
watering the grass on the ground.

How about looking up in the front
before flicking the ball?

Be glad,
it didn't hit you in the front.

You're Bikram's brother, right?

Right. Not your brother for sure.

This area is for players only.
Mechanics are not allowed here.

I am also a player.

Your brother would be
ashamed to hear that.

I might not be as good as him but
I too can play a bit of hockey.

Oh really?

Let's see how good
a player you are then.

No, you must be tired.

I don't want you to lose
and feel embarrassed

That's alright.

You can think of it as some
entertainment for yourself.

Let's do it.

Come on.

One-on-one.

Whoever scores, gets the ball.

You can try first.

If I start the game, you won't get
anywhere close to the ball.

The game/sport is what really
is worth falling for.

Don't go wasting time after girls.

I've been out of practice
for a long time...

so I couldn't score.

When you have a real goal in life,
it'll be easy to score one on the field.

Or you'll just keep biting the dust.

Madam...

Harpreet.

Nice to meet you.

Sandeep.

Ma'am, can we talk in private?

Why?

Just a little away from Gujji.
I don't want him to hear us.

I was just trying to act smart
in front of my friend.

In a game of hockey,
I knew you'd beat...

Anyhow, forget that now.

I was just trying my luck,
but I failed.

You are not that bad.

If you just practice next time,
you might just score a goal.

Will you play with me next time?

Yeah?

You can't stop following me.
Can you?

'Our lives were about to
change in the next six months.'

'Those six months where
the best moments of my life...'

'And perhaps of his life as well.'

Ouch.

Careful there.

This isn't a hockey stick.

Keep it straight then.

There you go.

In the age of mobiles and internet...

Yellow Printers can't stand
to compete in the business.

And Sandeep on top
of it is of no help.

Have your meal and leave
the rest in God's hands.

Son...

Once you get selected for India...

I am going to retire from this job...

and we'll buy
a new place for ourselves.

What new place?

Brother, I was just saying that...

What was I saying?

Tell him what I was talking about.

He was talking about Bikram
getting a place in the Indian team

Right. That's what
I was talking about.

Yes, he will.

Of course, he will.

Do you doubt that?

No.

I have no doubts.

"Sometimes I address
her as my guiding light..."

"Sometimes I address
her as the love of my life."

"Lost in love, I barely survive."

"Don't leave me..."

"Don't leave..."

"I want to dwell in your eyes."

"I want to dwell in your eyes."

"I want to dwell in your eyes."

You ran away nine years ago to
escape your punishment. Didn't you?

There's no place for a runaway
like you on this field.

Get lost!

Clean that properly!

Coach sir, I want to play Hockey.

Complete your nine years
of punishment first.

Till then, don't even think of
touching a hockey stick. Is that clear?

I said clean that properly!
- "This game called love, they say..."

"Can't be won or lost, come what may."

Keep going straight.

Not that way!

Go straight, I said!

Keep going straight!

"Love makes it tough to survive."

"You can see how love hurts..."

- Show me your hands! Show me your hands!
- "The blisters it causes are a curse."

"I shall endure all the pain..."

"I will never complain."

"This game called love, they say..."
- Pass it.

"Can't be won or lost, come what may."

Idiots, can't play.

"Costs you your life..."

"Love makes it tough to survive."

Can I go home, Coach sir?

You'll never be able to finish the
punishment if you go home.

Get going-

"Lost in love, I barely survive."

"Don't leave me..."

"Don't leave..."

"Sometimes I address
her as my guiding light..."

"Sometimes I address
her as the love of my life."

"Lost in love, I barely survive."
- Can I go home, Coach sir?

Go.

"Don't leave me..."

I guess I should stay back
and practice a bit more.

Get going then.
- Okay.

Hello!

How long will you go on like this?
Do you want to play hockey or not?

He doesn't let me go
anywhere close to hockey.

Come play with me, then.

Now?

When else?

It'll get dark in five minutes.

Then let's play for five minutes.

Sure

"When you're away, I've keep
visiting saints to set my soul free."

"if you ever leave,
leave a ring under a berry tree."

"When you're away, I've keep
visiting saints to set my soul free."

That's fantastic!

"If you ever leave,
leave a ring under a berry tree."

"I chant your name, when I miss you."

"In the evenings,
I kiss the moon too."

"I shall endure all the pain..."

"I will never complain."
- Hurry up.

"This game called love, they say..."

- "Can't be won or lost, come what may."
- There comes my boy!

Hop on.

"Costs you your life..."

"Love makes it tough to survive."

Don't worry, I'll talk to your coach.

It's your birthday tomorrow.

I'm sure he can give you
a day off on your birthday.

Mum, nobody has forced
me to play hockey.

I wanted to play hockey for India.

There's nothing more
I could've asked for.

What difference does it make anyway?

I don't mind playing hockey on this
birthday too like all my other birthdays.

Just remain quiet.

Let me do the talking.

Mum...

Is it done?

Yes, getting it.

- Delicious.
- Here you go.

- Brother...
- Hmm?

I was wondering...

It's Preeto's birthday tomorrow.

If she could get a day
off from the practice then I...

After Preeto's father passed away,
didn't I help Ajit find a job in London?

Yes, you did.

Yes.

I will make sure Preeto plays
for India one day.

If she wants day offs,
you can go look for another coach.

No...

Hello?

I'm outside your house.

Meet me for five minutes?

Brother, I have a trial for
the Indian team next week.

Who is it? Ajit'?

That's strange.

I already told him that
you are trying out next week.

Why is he asking that again?

No! Don't give him the phone.

His flight leaves in two minutes.

In two minutes, then?

No, security check
would take ten minutes.

But you just said two minutes...

Hello, Ajit?

What is it?

Just wanted to see
you for 5 minutes.

Why?

Don't you see me on
the field every day?

I don't get to see you
with your hair open.

Are you done now?

You know Gujji, my friend?

He says I sing well.

So?

So...

I wanted to sing for you.

- Oh really?
- Yup.

Go ahead.

Huh?

Go on. I'm listening.
- Yeah

- Hmm.
- Yes.

But I haven't rehearsed.

Your five minutes are up.

Better rehearse
and come next time.

And don't you dare
sing for anyone else.

"Sometimes I address
her as my guiding light..."

"Sometimes I address
her as the love of my life."

"Lost in love, I barely survive."

"Don't leave me..."

"Don't leave..."

"Sometimes I address
her as my guiding light..."

"Sometimes I address
her as the love of my life."

"Lost in love, I barely survive."

"Don't leave me..."

"Don't leave..."

"I want to dwell in your eyes."

"I want to dwell in your eyes."

Happy Birthday!

So that was your brother, is it?

Go tell this brother to come here
and show me his face...

or I'll break your...
- Coach sir...

It's my fault.

So it's you?

Bloody coward!

So that's the reason why you
got back to hockey... for a girl!

You've got to slog your
guts out to play for India!

You won't get an invitation
like last night's call...

where they'd be obliged
to have you go play hockey.

Coach sir...

You will not reach anywhere in hockey.

Get out of here everyone!

Enjoying the show, are you?

Don't you dare call her again.

Get back to hockey you all!

You don't need to go with her.

If I don't, coach won't let her in.

I came to apologize.

If you are done...

you can leave.

Hear me out, please.

Shoot.

Look here.

You are making me lose my cool.

You are being quite civil.

If I were you, I would have
not stopped at words...

but what would you do
if you were in my place?

If I were you, I'd take
a lesson from your brother.

Bikramjeet is going
to play for India.

You don't even have a place
secured in the University Team.

What can I expect from you?

I am putting in all
my efforts in hockey.

I have taken a beating from
Kartar sir for 12 long years.

I didn't even realize
how time ran out.

And I never made it to the team.

You really think, you'll make it
in hockey, starting at this age?

What if I do?

Come back when you make it
and get yourself a job.

Harpreet is getting late
for her practice.

Let's go, Presto.

This isn't the last trial.

I'll see how you don't get selected.

But what happened
during the selection?

That doesn't matter, mum. I didn't get
selected and that's the end of it.

Now will anyone tell me about Sandeep?

Sunny was going for hockey as an
excuse to meet some girl apparently...

Hockey wasn't just an excuse.

Shall I tell your stories?

Why are you dragging me into this?

Sandeep... is he alright?

Huh?

This is his problem.

If Sandeep gets in trouble...

he'll forget about his
own problems and run after him.

Stop the car.

Sandeep is at the farm.

Go meet him.

Brother!

Look at me.

Look up.

I heard about your trial.

Are you okay?

Do you love her?

You'll get selected next time.

For sure.

Should I talk to her family?

I already did.

When I make it big in hockey, get a job,
only then will I show them my face!

Job...

Dad was so hopeful

I'd get selected for India.
Then we could get a new house...

and he could retire.

My time's up, Sunny.

Now none of this is going to happen.

It was all going fine
till yesterday.

Now it feels like nothing
will get better.

You have more of these balls?

Yes, Why?

Where are they?

Over there.

What happened?

Stay there.

Hit the ball.

But the birds have already flown away.

Forget the birds.
Just hit the ball.

Go on.

No, no, no!

Hit it just like you did before.

Come back.

Go.

Come back.

Here... Now hit both of them.

What's going on, bro?

Hit them.

What the...

What did you promise them?

When you earn a name for yourself
in hockey and get a job...

only then will you show
them your face, right?

Yeah, so?

You better wash your face, then.

You're gonna have to show
your face very soon.

How?

With your drag-flick!

Drag-flick?

Give me that.

Get a ball.

Place it here.

When you run in like this...

dragging the ball with the stick...

and then, hit the ball,
which is called a flick...

it becomes a drag-flick!

This is a drag-flick?

Since the time uncle asked me to keep
the birds away from the crops...

this is how
I have been scaring them away.

This is the most
difficult shot in Hockey.

Even a good player takes
years to get it right.

And if you can hit it right
on this surface, then...

Then?

Then probably, one of our father's
sons could still play for India.

But how will India come
to know about me?

From Patiala.

Shall we?

Take your stick, mister.

Are you sure, that's a drag-flick?

Yes, it is.

That's the building.

Go left, go left.

Go left!
Sukhi, lose the cover... go for it.

Sir, someone's here to meet you.

Can't you see the practice is on?

Sorry for disturbing you, sir.

Sir!

Welcome, sir.

What would I do without
the Hockey Federation!

I would've been a mere physical
trainer at some high school in Patna.

You underestimate yourself, coach.

All thanks to you guys.

Excuse me?

Nothing.

Tell me, how can I help you?

Harry sir.

You need to give a lecture on sports
and its impact on young minds...

at Chandigarh University,
tomorrow evening.

Who ditched you at the last moment
that you had to come begging to me?

I told the Chairman that you'd know.

Cover him!

So you are going?

Sir, you know it's family time
for me in the evenings.

Family time!

You know it's a very important time.

Chairman's order, sir.

Let him know...

I'll be there.

Sure, coach.

All good, coach sir?

What brings you here?

This is my younger brother, Sandeep.

Does he also need a lecture?

No.

You should have a look
at his drag-flick.

He's very good at it.

Which state?

University, sir.

Why are you wasting my time?

Very bad time, sir.

I deserve a chance, sir.

You expect me try out university
players of this country?

And give lectures
at various colleges?

Who will prepare the
team for Olympics? You?

If I am really worth it, you'll get
a good player in your team.

And if I am not...

you can vent out all the frustration
caused by the Federation at me.

Bad luck.

Manpreet!

Come to the goalpost!

Yes sir.

Let's get done with this.

Follow me.

What is it?

Why have you stopped?

Do you want me to get you the
Indian team's goalkeeper for you?

Why not, sir? If I am trying for the Indian team,
I'd rather be tested by the team's goalkeeper.

Sunny!

You know how they say
it in my village.

Make them run and make them bleed.

Don't you worry!

Only curses for you, no blood.

You, however...

will not be forgiven for wasting my
time, in spite of being a senior player.

I shall make you run
and make you bleed.

Kamaldeep!

Come here, my boy.

Good.

You can go and rest.

You seem to be too small for him.

Whoever utters shall be happy,
shall be fulfilled

Focus.

Keep on focusing.

All good now or do you also need
Dhanraj Pillai to wish you luck.

Very good idea.
I'll give him a call.

Give it to me.

Eternal is the holy...

time less god.

Go sunny.

Partner, if he can hit such
a fast drag-flick on the grass...

He'll tear up the net on the Turf.

Hitting it hard isn't enough.

If you hit a goal using
the right technique...

then no one can throw
you out of the team.

Sir, I'll do the hard work
if you teach me the technique.

So what, even if
you learn that technique?

Even if you hit 2O drag-flicks
in a 7O minutes long match...

you'd still have
played only for 5 minutes.

What do I do with you
for the rest of the time?

Mollycoddle you?

You'll have to become a defender.

Make me one.

Thank you.

Family time for sir now.

Dismiss.

Be on the ground at five.

Be a minute late and
I'll make you run and bleed.

Sunny!
_ Bro!

Yes!

Go, live my dream!

"Face your fate without a fright."

"Live less,"

Good morning, sir.
- "but live with pride."

All the best.

"Fight...
for tomorrow belongs to you."

You need strength in your
legs to play hockey.

"Be strong... you gotta survive too."
- Go, go, go.

GO, go!

The basic rule of being a defender...

ball in your 'D' is like a bomb.

What is it?

- Bomb!
- Yes!

You have to get it out
of there as soon as possible.

And once outside the 'D',
it's like your girlfriend.

Don't let the opposing team near it.

Right, partner?
- Yep

India's jersey.

Mother...

How does it look?

"The heart soared but didn't score."

"Score a goal and let the heart soar."

Open up, open UP-

Never commit on the ball till
the very last second.

It's as good as committing suicide.
- Right.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come OH, COMB OH.

"Flicker Singh! Flicker Singh!"

"Our hockey king!"

"Flicker Singh! Flicker Singh!"

"Our hockey king!"

If you keep tackling like this...

the opponent's knickers
will be in a twist.

Say what?

Knickers will be in a twist.
- Yes.

Go, one more.

"Our hockey king!"

Action on reaction.

Use your brain.

Don't think like a buffalo,
think like a criminal.

"What's happening around
you shouldn't bother you."

Go, go, come on.

Five seconds.

Very good.

Go back.

Don't think about that,
concentrate on defense.

Come back.
Come back, Sandeep. Forget that.

Concentrate on defense. Come back.

Striker ready?

"You have to flow like
a ragging river too."

"You need to reach your goal."

"You cannot afford to lag
behind in the race anymore."

Hold it tight.

"Flicker Singh!"

"Forget everything else."

"Your thought was great I must say."

"I met you midway..."

Three, two, one...

"Don't stop at the shore."

"Keep swimming, stay afloat..."

"The currents will
lead you I am sure."

Booked your train tickets already?

B99 your pardon'?

Don't worry if you haven't.

Federation can always send
you in the luggage compartment.

I know the Federation's rule.

We are not allowed
to play at night.

So, then?

How will I get selected in the
Indian team without hitting any goals?

I am only defending goals during day.

So I thought I'd practice
hitting some at night.

I'd rather take a risk
and get selected in the team...

than not take any risks and go
back home in the luggage compartment.

Running around like this
won't help you.

What do you mean?

Federation won't hold you accountable
for any of these balls.

And you are?

I am the Federation.

It's an honour, Mr. Chairman.

Carry on.

Thank you, sir.

The match starts.

The Meerut versus Patiala
match has begun.

Partner...
- Hmm.

I see guns in the
hands of the audience.

After dodging Harmeet he has
passed the ball to the centre forward.

And...

That's Meerut's first goal!

Nailed it!

Harmeet from the
Patiala team is injured.

Coach sir, allow me.

Go.

Injured Harmeet has been replaced
by number four jersey, Sandeep Singh.

Prakash welcomes Sandeep
by hitting with the ball.

Sandeep Singh appeals.

Sandeep.

Meerut trying to pressurize Patiala.

But don't you underestimate Patiala,
Mr. Nadeem.

Sandeep leave it.

Sandeep is at the risk
of getting a yellow card.

The referee seems like a landline
phone in the times of mobiles.

You better put that
gun back into your knickers.

I come from Bihar.

I can spit and make a
hole in your forehead.

His spit, not mine.

Thank you, thank you.

Patiala zero, Meerut one.

A good pass by Sandeep
to the center forward.

Number 19 is dragging the
ball towards the 'D'.

And...

And a foul for
hitting inside the 'D'.

Short Corner for Patiala, Mr. Nadeem.

First chance for
Patiala to score a goal.

Sir?

I'm looking out for probable
players for the Junior Indian team.

And Sandeep Singh will
take the short-corner.

Isn't he the one
who practices at night?

Yes, sir.

Sandeep Singh ready
to play the Short Corner.

Vijay makes a pass.

Golden opportunity for Patiala.

Sandeep Singh flicks and...

Scores a goal!

And the score's one all, Mr. Nadeem.

That fast a drag-flick
on the grass! He'd...

He'd tear through the
net on the turf, sir.

Sorry, sir.

Another goal for Patiala
from the Penalty Corner.

Patiala three, Meerut one.

Sandeep Singh has been
scoring goals non-stop.

Plays great defense as well.

Mr. Nadeem, another goal for Patiala.

So... should I recommend him?

He's a temperamental player.

He could get disqualified
in the next 15 minutes.

Sandeep! Sandeep! Sandeep!

However, he can be a huge asset
even if he plays for only 15 minutes.

Sandeep! Sandeep! Sandeep!

Then prepare him
to last for 7O minutes.

- Only five minutes left for the game to end.
- Yes, sir.

Patiala leading with six goals.

Mr. Nadeem...

Spectators are getting
more enthusiatic for Patiala.

Another chance to
score for Sandeep Singh.

Will he score his eighth goal here?

Audience is excited.

And what do we have here?

Indian women's team's Harpreet Kaur
seems to have arrived here.

She played a great game against
Germany yesterday.

Sandeep! Sandeep! Sandeep!

Young lad got distracted
and missed the goal.

A great save by Meerut.

You should sit
back and relax now.

The match is over.

Meerut has lost the game...

in spite of saving this goal.

Well played, Sandeep Singh.

You distracted me.

You could've seen me score
if you would've come earlier.

Well, then you would've
probably missed all the goals.

That's right.

You better not watch me play ever.

What are you looking at?

The Indian jersey
looks good on you.

Looking at your progress
in just 6 months...

you better be prepared to fetch
one for yourself anytime soon.

Once I get selected for lndia...

we'll have the biggest
wedding in town.

Followed by a
honeymoon in Switzerland?

Exactly.

Three kids?

Yeah...

Looking just like you.

Or one could be like me.

And which car shall we buy?

A sports car!

The one with a sunroof.

A new house?

Yes.

And we should have that... what's it
called... the round bubbling water tub...

JacuzzL

Yeah, Jacuzzi.

You'll find plenty in our town who
are dying to go to Switzerland...

and hordes of more such
people across the country.

There are only 11 such fools...

who would not get distracted by
some girl while striking a goal...

because they aren't scoring in
order to get a pool or a car.

They are scoring goals for India.

You seem to be quite a
serious kind of girl.

I'll score goals for India as well.

If I play for India,
you'll be mine, right?

Did you rehearse
the song for me?

Yes.

Not really.

Couldn't spare time from Hockey.

"Sometimes I address
her as my guiding light..."

"Sometimes I address
her as the love of my life."

"Sometimes I address
her as my guiding light..."

"Sometimes I address
her as the love of my life."

"Lost in love, I barely survive."

"Don't leave me..."

'Sandeep scored 6O
goals in three months.'

'And won eight man of
the tournament trophies.'

'For how long could India
Hockey ignore such a special player?'

Hello?

Mum, is Bikram there?

Sunny?

How are you?

It's been so long.
- I don't have much time, mum. ls Bikram there?

Bikram's gone to
Mr. Sharma's with your dad.

Are you there?

Hello?

Hello?

Silly boy! Hung up on me.

You're allowed only
one call at a time.

You are talking to your senior.
Have some respect.

Hello?

It's me, Sandeep.

Is Bikram there?

No, he's not here.

Okay, uncle.

Is someone knocking
at your door?

Let me check.

- Hello.
- Hello.

It's for you.

- It's Sandeep.
- Sandeep?

Yes.

Hello?

Sandeep, you rascal!
Where have you been?

I have been distributing
my own wedding invites here.

Bro, I got selected for India.

I wanted you to be
the first one to know.

I'm going on a tour to Poland.

If I make it to the finals,
I won't be able attend the wedding.

That's not a problem.

Don't just reach the finals.
You must win the finals!

You got that?

Many players get selected to play for
India but only a few last long enough.

Don't worry about anything else.

We shall celebrate
once you are back.

Okay?

Take care of yourself.

Bye.

Sandeep has been selected
in the Indian Team.

Congratulations!

Calls for a double celebration.

Well done!

What's with your attitude, man?

I'm a much senior player than you.

I'm a kabbadi player, bro.

Sorry.

I got selected for India.

It's looking good on you...
the Indian jersey.

If you play well,
you'll never lose it.

Go, nail them.

All the best.

Thank you sir.

Yes!

And an amazing goal in the
first 15 minutes of the match!

Germany messes it up once again!

Temperament plays an important
role in a player's career.

Sandeep Singh will
have to keep that in mind.

Yes!

Body tackle by Euan and Zgnacio..

Is an easy way to get
a player out through yellow card.

Come on.

An amazing goal by Sandeep Singh.

Foul!

As long as he's on the field,
he'll keep scoring goals.

And before you know it,
he'll pick on a fight.

Are you going to play like this.

- Yes!
- And with this goal...

Sandeep Singh becomes the second
highest goal scorer of the tournament.

Welcome to the
6 Nations Series Finals.

India versus Pakistan.

The match is not only between
these 2 countries...

but it's also a contest between Pakistan's
TanveerAlam, the highest goal scorer so far...

and India's Sandeep Singh,
the 2nd highest goal scorer.

Bikram, I feel that may
be if Coach Harry would've...

managed to keep Sandeep Singh on
the field for all of the 70 minutes...

in the last few matches,
he could've been leading already.

May be... and he could've also been out of
the tournament by now for all you know...

if he would've got
another yellow card.

Go.. Go..Go
Move... Move...

And a sloppy pass by Harmeet.

Oh no, Sandeep Singh
just manages to dodge that.

It seems like Pakistan too is following
the same strategy as other teams.

Attacking Sandeep Singh.

- Come on.
- Sandeep...

You have to stick around
throughout... all of 70 minutes!

Keep your cool.

Go for it, it's moving away.

Go, go, go...

Sandeep moving forward with the ball,
dodges Tanveer.

Moving forward he also
manages to dodge Ahmad Mushtaq.

Oh my God!

Sneaking in from behind
and a blow on the nose.

Has he fainted?
That must have hit him hard.

Sandeep, you alright?

Tanveer will have to
pay the price for this.

Sandeep... good job.

It's a pity that both the highest and
the second highest goal scorer...

are out of the game.

Losing a defender at this stage
could mean a huge loss to the team.

Pakistan will surely cash
in on this opportunity.

He has lost a lot of blood.

I doubt if Sandeep will be able
to make a comeback after this.

Pass, pass, pass...

Pass it to Tariq.

Good, good, good. Go for it.

Yusuf with the ball on centre forward.

Dodges the defender, moves forward.

And a powerful strike.

Goes straight to the goal!

Yes!
- Fantastic goal!

Yeah!

Go.

And with that, we are at half time.

He's playing well.

Just as I predicted, Pakistan is taking
advantage of India's weak defense.

Well done, boys.

India needs Sandeep
Singh at this point.

You are not going back.

Coach sir...

I've been seeing hockey for
around 20 years now.

They'll break you
if you go back there.

Your first tournament will
be the end of your career.

My career doesn't matter.

I'm not a legend.

This is my first tournament.

I am replaceable.

And with that whistle,
the second half begins.

Go, go, go. Good job.

Ready?

Lobou.
- Yes, take it.

Hey Bikram...

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Rajinder!
- Sandeep Singh is back.

Very good.

Come on, Sandeep.

We are already 2O minutes
into the second half.

Pass ahead.

Hit it, hit it back.

Come on Come on.

The centre forward
moves with the ball.

He manages to get to the
'D', Nitin cuts in and...

lndia gets a short-corner.

India gets its first short-corner.

It seems like Sandeep
Singh's entry has changed the game.

Yousof, cross the angle, cross the angle.

That's an amazing
backward pass to Harmeet.

And Harmeet slap shots
it straight into the goal.

Wow, what a goal!

We're in trouble.

Sandeep Singh is back!

Like a true warrior!

Ninety seconds to go.

Pass the ball... Pass the ball...

GO, go!

What was that?

A 360 degree dodge by Sandeep!

It's a foul.

Fantastic partnership
between Sandeep and Nitin.

And there... India gets
its second short-corner!

He will again beat them.

Partner, if Sandeep scores another goal,
he'll become the highest goal scorer.

He will, for sure.

And he could also become
the player of the tournament.

Sandeep we have to win the match.

Sandeep! Sandeep! Sandeep!

Sandeep! Sandeep! Sandeep!

Sandeep! Sandeep! Sandeep!

And that's a fantastic goal!

A historic win for India
in the 6 Nations Series Finals.

Look at the speedometer.

Sandeep Singh has
broken his own record.

His last drag-flick was
recorded to be 108 kms/hr.

And this goal was drag-flicked
at the speed of 120 kms/hr.

After this supersonic
drag-flick...

this new boy should
be renamed as...

Flicker Singh instead
of Sandeep Singh.

Yes, Flicker Singh!

"Our hockey king!"

"Flicker Singh!
Flicker Singh! Our hockey king!"

Sandeep Singh!

This is my son, Zorawar.

He wants to be a
hockey player like you.

- Great.
- Can we get an autograph, please?

Of course.

Here you go, son.

Thank you.

God bless you.

Are you doing good?

What happened to your nose?

Nothing much.

Listen...

They haven't printed much
about you in Punjabi newspapers.

Whatever little they have,
it's about some Flicker Singh.

You told us that you
scored most of the goals.

Yes, that's me.
I am Flicker Singh.

- What?
- Look at this.

The Media has given
me a new name.

Flicker Singh scores maximum...
- Sir...

Sir, you became the highest goal scorer
in your first international series.

How does that feel?

I feel good.

He feels good... very good.

I am also feeling very good.

I am his father.

And he is my son.

Look at this. His photo
got printed in the newspaper.

He looks so handsome, doesn't he?

We live in a town called Shahbad.

And... the camera... sorry,
just a little to the... that's good.

So we live in Shahbad and he has been
playing hockey since his childhood.

And look at him...
He's made us so proud today.

When will this appear on TV?

On which channel
will it be aired?

Thank you.

Thank you, Media.

Are you happy now?

Very haPPV-

I am happier than
Mogambo has ever been.

Okay, hold this.

I have some news for you too.

Take this.

Indian Airways?

Go on. Read it.

Dear Sandeep Singh...

This is to inform you that
you are now a part of Indian Airways.

The letter arrived at home
soon after your selection.

You've got the job!

Thank you, Director, Indian Airways.

And here's my resignation.

Shahbad is here!
Shahbad! Shahbad! Shahbad!

I've said my final goodbyes
to Yellow Printers.

Shahbad! Shahbad! Shahbad!

Shahbad! Shahbad! Shahbad!

We've reached.

Shahbad's here!

Get down.

Stop the bus for us.

Hop on.

Come on.

You go ahead.
I'll be back in a bit.

Come home first.

I'll be right back.

Go.

Flicker Singh!

Do you remember the
address to your new house?

Yes!

Bani never scores a goal.

She's a goalkeeper, mom.
- Hello, aunty.

Hello, son.

No matter where they make you stand,
you always score a goal.

C'm0n, mom.

Preet.

Hello.

Ajit had asked me to see you only when
I earn a name for myself in hockey.

What is this?

What should I do with this?

It's not for you.

Idiot, you got the job because
you are a part of the team now.

In no time you'll be out of the team and
this is where you'll have to come back...

to be bashed up
with my hockey stick.

He scored 16 goals, coach sir.

The Indian team doesn't have a
better drag-flicker than him.

Chances of him being
dropped are slim, sir.

Zip it up.

Just zip it up.

You got a chance to play for
India because of my training.

Don't you forget that!

I played for India...

without your training.

So I'm sure others can manage too.

You too shouldn't forget that.

Do you want her to play for
India or get married and stay at home?

No!

Preet will play for India
even after we get married.

If we get your support.

Give me my hockey stick!

Don't bother.

Last time I didn't say a word to save Preet
from your beating and I was your student then.

This time you won't be the
only one using the hockey stick.

And after we are done, forget getting
Samosas (Indian snack) for you..

No one will bother to
even get you any water.

Bloody...

Get back... I want everyone
back on the ground.

Welcome, my brave lad.

The new star player of the
Indian hockey team will be greeted...

to our new house by the new member
of our family, our daughter-in-law!

Let's give him a round of applause!
- "Mr. Sandeep Singh!"

"The new shinning
star of Indian Hockey..."

"The talk of the town... is back."

"Welcome home."

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Young lad is back from the hunt..."

"He's a fearless huntsman."

"He scares away the doe."

"He rides a lion."

"He's a fearless huntsman."

"Let's have a bet,
there's no backing out."

"Royal style, royal life."

"He flirts with beauties."

"Everything about him is unique."

"Let's have a bet,
there's no backing out."

"He flirts with beauties."

"Everything about him is unique."

"It's a pleasure to know him."

"He is my life, my buddy."

"Can give up the world for him,
my brother."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Good man..."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Samaritan, a good man."

"Samaritan, a good man."

"Make some noise..."

"Get yourself heard."

"It's time you inform the world."

"And beloved,
replied the world to it..."

"Here comes a force to reckon with."

"Let's have a bet,
there's no backing out."

"Royal style, royal life."

"He flirts with beauties."

"Everything about him is unique."

"It's a pleasure to know him."

"He is my life, my love."

"Can give up the world for him."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Samaritan, a good man."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Samaritan, a good man."

"Samaritan, a good man."

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

I have a trial in the morning.

I must leave.

What?

Well...

Nothing.

Say it.

I won't be able to stop if I start.

Say it.

No one will stop you.

I can hear you.

Really?

You've got a lifetime to
tell me whatever you want to.

Go, play for the
World Cup first.

I'll do my best.

Promise me, you won't
see my matches.

I won't.

I didn't see the
Poland tournament...

and you went on to become
the highest goal scorer.

You must win this one.

Once I am back from
the World Cup...

we'll all go for
a vacation to Shimla.

Do you remember the last
time we went for a vacation?

Did we ever go for one?

You were 3 years old when
dad took us all to Delhi.

We had a shoestring budget so
we were all put up in the same room...

Sunny! You are late.

All five of us in the same room?

Right.

You were fine, sleeping on
the bed with mum and dad.

I had to sleep on
the floor with grandma.

We'll book three hotel
rooms when we go to Shimla.

Take this.

Watch it! Be careful, man!
- Sorry, sorry.

It's okay. No worries.

Hail Almighty.
- Hail Almighty.

GO, go!

What shall I get you?

Gold.

Just win the gold!

Sandeep you must have
a lot of girlfriends.

Whose number is it.
Give it to me.

Sunny!

Let's go, Sunny.

Cheeku has got a
seat for you there.

Let it be.

I'm quite comfortable over here.

Don't irritate me now.
Let's go and sit there.

- Come on.
- Okay, bye.

Let's go.

Come on.

Here.
- Keep this.

I wore it as a child.
- Fine.

This one, it's from our uncle.

Don't even bother opening.
- How much do you think it is?

He's a miser. Let me check.

Your family is full of misers.

And your family is
so generous, right?

Your family is so stingy.

Forget it. I know.

Sunny?
- Yes.

I always take this seat
whenever I'm on a tour.

Okay-

It's lucky for me.

You even had
a girlfriend named Lucky.

She left you, didn't she?

And guess what, he bought
the train tickets for her.

Sunny, come and sit here.

Let me settle the
score with him today.

Sure.
- Just remain seated where you are. Don't drag this.

Remain seated.

I don't care. Come and sit here.

Come on.

There you go.
- Your relatives didn't give us anything.

All of this was gifted by my family.
- Don't get me started.

And what lovely gifts they gave...
some old empty bottles of supplements!

What the hell? You call this a gift?

What can I say?
- I thought she was loaded.

Did her father come along, let me check...
- Excuse me...

Hello.

Yes?

Did you board
the train from Shahbad?

Yes.

Why?

So you got married in Shahbad.

Good.

What's your problem, man?

Brother, my name is Sandeep Singh.

Team India's hockey player.

How does that concern us?

I too am from Shahbad.

Oh, is that you?

What do they call you
these days in the newspapers?

Flicker Singh.

Yes, Flicker Singh.

I saw your picture in the newspaper.

You looked cute.

Thank you.

Neetu, come on this side.

Come on, get up.

Drop it.
- Fine.

Bro...?

Actually, I am planning
to get married soon.

That's why I asked.
- Okay.

Don't worry. Why don't you give me an autograph.
- Okay.

What are you doing, Neetu?

Just a minute.

Where's the pen? Here it is.

Here you go.

What did you say your name is?

Neetu.

Neetu?
- Yes.

Dear Neetu...

Yes.

Bro, don't forget to
mention Balveer as well.

Of course, considering
you two are married now...

Balveer will always be
there along with Neetu.

Okay. 'Dear... Dear Neetu...

and Balveer.'
- When are you getting married?

If I could, I would
get married today.

In the train?

Soon.

Okay-

'Happy married life'

'Sandeep Singh'

Bro...

Sunny!
- Sunny! What's wrong?

_ S Sunny!
Unny! What happened?

Sunny! Sunny!

Sunny!

Sunny!
- Sunny! What's happened to you?

Sunny?
- Brother?

Brother,
I didn't shoot you on purpose.

You didn't do it on purpose?
- I didn't know!

You didn't do it on purpose?

Cheeku! Cheeku!

Sunny!
- Brother?

Sunny! Get up!

Sunny! Sunny!

Cheeku!

Go and stop the train.

I'll page them.
You be with him.

I didn't realize,
there's a bullet in the chamber.

Sunny...
- Brother?

Sunny, it's going to be okay.

Hold on, Sunny.

Sunny, I won't let
anything happen to you.

Hold on, Sunny.

Cheeku, stop the train!

You will be fine. Don't worry.

Keep your eyes open, Sunny.
Keep your eyes open.

Sunny?

Open your eyes, Sunny.
Keep them open.

Brother, if I don't go play,
I'll be out of the team.

And the job...

Sunny

Call Preet.

Please call Preet.

You'll be fine. I promise.

The doctors seem good.

Why isn't anyone
telling us anything?

Who knows if Sunny will
ever come out of coma?

Why won't he?

Of course he will.

Mother...

My child...

He'll be fine.

According to the
current market rates..

You won't get more
than this for your house.

We just bought it a month ago?

How can the rates change
so drastically in just a month?

It's okay, son. Let it go.

Take this.

Climb up.

Mr. Gurcharan, are you sure you
want to get back to your field job?

Mr. Joshi, when I
had to walk endlessly...

carrying this 3O kgs heavy bag,
I never felt as tired...

as I feel now just
sitting in the hospital.

I don't want to lose
this habit of walking.

Don't worry.

I'll manage.

How is Sandeep?

I'm fine.

I asked, how is Sandeep?

Sandeep... still the same.

There is no change in his condition.

I wonder why God did this to him.

Are you leaving the tour midway?

Not only will the
Federation raise a question...

but I too will make sure, this is
the end of your career if you leave now.

I will face the Federation.

And as far as my
career is concerned...

if I'm capable enough
to play for India,

no one can stop me from playing.

Not even you.

'Dear Sandeep, I...

An arrow piercing the heart...

You.'

What does that mean?

It means I love you.

Thank you, son.

'Get well soon.'

'Preeti'

Since when did you become so
popular amongst the girls?

Sandeep has a lot of fans now.

'I have started playing
hockey because of you.'

'I wish to become a
drag-flicker like you one day.'

Even kids are writing to you.

Look at this.

He's drawn a picture for you.

A hockey stick and a ball.

Dad, the day will come to an end by the
time you finish reading all these letters.

Take a break and let him
have his food first.

Come on.

Going over to our sports
correspondent, Suyash...

who's right outside
PGI Chandigarh..

Suyash, is it true that Sandeep
Singh is out of coma?

Yes Shalini, that is true.

After 15 days, Sandeep
is finally out of coma.

His condition is improving.

This is good news, Suyash.

Why isn't it getting switched off?

Hockey fans can breathe a sigh
of relief after hearing this news.

This means we'll soon see Sandeep
Singh back on the hockey field.

Right?

Shalini, though Sandeep
has come out of a coma...

but the news is not
good for the hockey fans.

After talking to the
doctors we have learnt that..

Sandeep has been left
paralysed below the waist.

Oh, seriously?

The hockey fans here are
terribly disheartened to know...

that Sandeep Singh, the star
drag-flicker of the Indian team...

will never be able to step
on a hockey field ever again.

Shalini, this brings us to an important
question coming to everyone's mind.

If Sandeep would have been given the
required medical treatment on time...

could we have saved him
from getting paralysed.

This raises a question on
the Indian medical system.

If an Indian hockey player
doesn't get an ambulance...

for 6 hours after being shot,
what can a common man expect?

We will keep getting
live updates for you.

But until then with great
regret we have to say that..

Sandeep Singh, the star
player of Indian Hockey Team..

Won't be able to stand
up on his feet ever again.

That was our correspondent...
- These media...

- Suyash from PGI Chandigarh.
- Guys speak any rubbish they want.

We will see you after a short break.

Keep watching your
favorite channel, Y News.

I was going to...

Leave.

I was about to tell you.

All of you, please leave.

Brother!

Brother!

Bikram!

Bikram!

Sunny!

What happened, Sunny?

What's wrong?

I've been calling out to you!

I'd gone to get the medicines.

Why didn't you call the nurse?

You know that I feel shy.

I don't even let dad in.

And you still left me alone.

It's my fault.

I'll never leave you alone.

Okay?

Come on now, lie on your side.

A little more.

Move this hand. Be careful.

Good job.

A little more.

You are my brave brother.

What is it?

Nothing much has happened.

That's it.

Careful there.

We can't make it
to Switzerland now.

Never mind.

We can go to Shimla (small
town in northern India) instead.

With you by my side,
Shimla will be as good as Switzerland.

Doctors think there is a possibility
that you could get back on your feet.

A very slim chance.

And hockey is out
of the question.

It's okay.

I played hockey only for you.

Now if I'm destined to be bound
to a wheelchair then so be it.

As long as you are with me.

What are you saying?

You're a sportsman.

How can you be happy
in a wheelchair?

'I thought I was going
to meet an Indian hockey player..'

'...who must be perhaps
shattered to know...'

'...that he's never going to
be able to play hockey again...'

'...but I met just another boy
who forgot everything about that.'

'He was just happy to see me,
his Preet by his side'

Let's go.

You're sure you want to go?

Yes, mom. I am sure.

I don't mind pushing a wheelchair
for the rest of my life.

I will do it happily if
Sandeep is on that wheelchair.

But I'd be happier to see
him standing on his own two feet.

Even if he does so without me.

Are you sure, he'll get back on
his feet if you are not here with him?

No, I'm not...

but I'm sure, he'll never
get back on his feet if I am with him.

You know, all that he
did so far was all for me.

Be it hockey, getting a job
or getting beaten up by the coach.

Now if he gets me...

he won't even bother to try
and get back on his feet.

'Last and final call
for Harpreet Kaur...

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Bro, I've been asking you
since so many days now.

Where is Preet?

She just came to meet
me once and then disappeared.

You didn't find out?

How do I find out?

I spend the nights here with
you and go to work during the day.

I hope she is fine.

We're going back home anyway.

I'll find out once you settle at home.

Okay, mister?

Okay?

Come on, my boy.

Let's go.

Come on.

Good.

My brave lad is back.

Thank you.

Welcome home.

Let's go.

Thank you, God.

Let's go, mum. You can
do the crying part inside.

Come, son.
- I'm kidding.

Come, son. Come inside.

Let's go, son.

Let's go inside.

Here we go, bro.

Come on, everyone.

Come.
- Wait.

Let me set the mood right.

"Mr. Sandeep Singh!"

"The new shinning
star of Indian Hockey..."

"The talk of the town... is back."

"Welcome home."

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

Gurcharan, come on, dance along.

Come on.
You can do better.

- "Young lad is back from the hunt..."
- There you go, brother.

Join us, son.

"He rides a lion."

"He's a fearless huntsman."

Go ahead, uncle.
- Oh, c'mon.

"Let's have a bet,
there's no backing out."

"He flirts with beauties."

"It's a pleasure to know him."

"He is my life, my buddy."

"Can give up the world for him,
my brother."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man..."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Good man..."

"Good man, the Samaritan."

"Samaritan, a good man."

Answer the phone, Preet.

You didn't want to
come to the hospital.

I can understand.

Are you going to leave me
alone in this state, huh?

Is this my fault?

What have I done wrong?

I want to hear your voice.

Please.

I'll keep calling, Preet.

I will, till you
don't answer the phone.

Till you don't talk to me.

Till you don't laugh when I sing.

I'll keep calling
till you don't come back.

Preet...

Do you want me to beg of you?

Is that what you want?

Get this straight.

When God stops
answering the prayers...

people stop believing in him

I feel so embarrassed now.

When I was at my worst,
I told you things..

Which I was scared to
tell to my own self.

I feel disgusted.

Don't... don't you dare
come in front of me ever again.

Sunny!

Come on...

Hold onto me, come on.

What were you doing?

What do you want?

How many times did I ask you
to go find out where Preet is!

You are just busy
doing your own stuff.

What?

My own stuff?

Cleaning your shit is "my own stuff"?

Shush.

If you just had to rub it in,
why did you do it in the first place?

If that's what I intended to do,
I could've listed many more things.

And everyone here could have done so.

Do you want me to bow down
and thank all of you for it?

No one needs your
acknowledgement.

I am working at 2
places to run the house.

Dad has resumed his field job!
- No... Bikram.

Wait... he barely escaped
being run over by a train!

Did you even realize that
we have come back to our old house?

Yes, mom sold the new house...

to pay off the expenses
for your treatment.

Look around you, mister!

Son...

He wants to thank us
for all of that.

Don't do it if it is such a trouble!

Leave me!

Come on.
- No...

Let me take you there.
- No...

Bikram

I'll take you to her house.
- No.

She came to the hospital,
saw you in that state and went away!

Her house is locked!

Stop it!

Son...

Mom...

I'll see to it that
he doesn't go unpunished.

He shot at my son.

My brave lad...

Don't you worry.

I'll make sure he rots in the
prison all his life.

I'll do anything I have
to but I won't spare him.

If you really want to do something
for me, help me get back on my feet.

Take your resignation letter.

Haven't put a date yet.

I want to take up one of the
jobs Bikram is doing.

I want to put a date
on your resignation letter.

I want to get back on my feet.

I have already spoken
to the Chairman and Harry sir.

My child has grown
up into a man.

Well done, my boy.

Well done.

There, our famous captain, Mr.
Dhyan Chand.

Today is your last day.

Sharma will be replacing you tomorrow.

Rehabilitation in Holland
will cost us around 3.5 million.

Mr. Chairman, we are talking
about Hockey here and not Cricket.

A player is a player, sir.

Be it a cricket player
or a hockey player.

We'll have to take a chance.

Hmm.

You will take your chance and retire.

It is me who will be questioned.

Sir, we are giving him a pension.

And there are millions working,
sitting on a wheelchair.

These millions don't
play for India, Sharma.

Sir...

Kids play cricket in
every street of this country..

With a dream that if they play for
India then their life will be made.

I agree that we aren't
the Cricket Board.

But if we want our Hockey to
reach the same point where it was..

Then we will have
to look after our players.

We will have to respect them.

Okay-

Both of you wait
outside for some time.

Okay, sir.
- Okay, sir.

Presto.

Why are you taking it so personally,
Mr. Chairman?

You should just retire
and leave all of this to me.

Why spend so much
on a handicapped player?

That too out of my budget?

Once I am done with you,
no budget will be able to fix you.

Sir...

Thank you, sir.

It isn't a favor.

It is my duty.

All the best.

The hospital...

It's okay, brother.

I am feeling scared, Coach sir.

Everyone is trying their best and...

And if I don't get back on my feet...

Are you fishing
for a compliment?

I have seen many players.

You are a good one.

This is my India Jersey.

I want it back soon.

We'll miss you.

'He got the sanction
for rehab in just one day.'

'But the year that followed,
was quite difficult for both of us.'

'Both of us were
in a foreign land'

'We were amongst people...'

'...and yet lonely'

"To live without you, is deceitful."

"To live without you, is difficult."

"Memories haunt me."

"Heartache taunts me."

"How do I convince my life?"

"Oh stranger..."

"Oh stranger..."

"Oh stranger..."

"Oh stranger..."

"Oh stranger..."

"What I tried to snatch away
from life could never be with me."

"From a distance,
there is no regret, I believe."

"Leave me alone, with my solitude."

"Don't let my anger
cause any harm come to you."

"To live without you, is deceitful."

"Without you..."

"To live without you, is deceitful."

"Without you..."

"Without you,
how do I convince my life?"

"Oh stranger..."

"Oh stranger..."

"Lord, give me the strength."

"I am no devotee, give me devotion."

"Waheguru,
Allah, You have many names."

"Waheguru,
Allah, You have many names."

Brother, the flight from
Holland will land at eight.

This idiot has brought us here at six!

Let it be Gurcharan.

He is eager to meet Sunny.

Am I right, Bikram?

If he is that eager then
he should have come at four instead.

Where are those musicians?

I told you not to
pay them in advance.

No one listens to me.

You have called them, right?

Of course, I did.

I had called them.

Then why didn't they show up?

"Make sure the flag hoists high."

"My body is my country, I cry."

"This is what keeps me alive."

"Don't stop at the shore."

"Keep swimming, stay afloat..."

"The currents will
lead you I am sure."

My child...

Oh God!

My child...

Thank you, God.

Oh God!

Cleaning your shit is "my own stuff"?

'If you just had to rub it in,
why did you do it in the first place?'

'If that's what I intended to do,
I could've listed many more things.'

'Do you want me to bow down
and thank all of you for it?'

Sandeep!

Sit down.

Sit!

I am your elder brother.

I know why you are here.

You need my help, right?

Hold my feet and apologize.

Go on and apologize.

I want to play for India, brother.

Please help me.

Do you really want to play for
India or is it for that girl?

I am not that selfish.

I accept, the first time ever I tried
to stand on my own two feet was for her...

but I went to rehab
for our family.

And now I want to play for
India, for our country.

Move.

There is an Indian
Airways tournament.

But there is a problem.

What?

It is against my team.

Are you scared to play against me?

Idiot! It took you 6 months
to come to me and apologize.

I'll see you while I train you.

And I'll take my
revenge on the field.

Okay?

Okay-

Smile.

Let's go then?

For a run?

Hmm?

Lucky scoundrel managed
to get back on his feet.

"Behind me lurks darkness..."

"Ahead lies a storm."

"In this storm I
want a lamp to survive."

Let's go.

Good morning.

"Either the heart
will turn into stone."

"Or the heart of stone will beat."

"I have taken up a
challenge to feel alive."

"Forget..."

Sunny... Sunny, body play.

Use distraction to get the ball.
Go get it.

"Forget, the night long gone..."

"Start afresh this morning."

Yeah. Up. Left...

Left, left, left.

Back, back.

"Look up, soar high,
from ground to sky, oh my brother."

"Oh my brother..."

"Handsome and charming,

"They stick to their guns,

"Handsome and charming,

"Faced death..."

"Survived, I have."

"To the beckon of life."

"To make a better life."

"Survived, I have."

"Defamed I was, to build a new name."

"I had started something,
to take it to end."

"Embrace me, life..."

"Look up, soar high,
from ground to sky, oh my brother."

GO, go!

"Look up, soar high,
from ground to sky, oh my brother."

"Oh my brother..."

"They stick to their guns,
these brave warriors."

Yes, yes, yes!

"Handsome and charming,
our brave warriors."

"They stick to their guns,
these brave warriors."

"Handsome and charming,
our brave warriors."

Good job.

Pass the ball! Pass the ball!

Push it.

Call the goalie.

Yoginder!

Come here!

Good job.

Straight, straight, straight!

Partner... Sandeep.

Sir...

I have your jersey safe with me.

Just waiting to put it on.

Short-corner!

Ready for a drag-flick?

Partner... as powerful as before!

One year of your chairmanship
and I get called back!

What's going on?

Sir, you asked me to make a file of
the mistakes made by our team, so...

The biggest mistake was
that goals weren't scored.

Sir, Sandeep is back.

We could consider him for
the Commonwealth Championship.

He will surely be considered...

but you won't be.

Harry...

Yes, sir.

You will form the team.

Thank you, sir.

Victory to India!

"Forget, the night long gone..."

Federation has sent tickets
for the England match.

Did you hear uncle's plan?

He's putting up a big
screen on the hockey field.

He has invited the
entire neighbourhood.

There will be drums,
a DJ and the works.

Can I get three tickets?

No.

All of them are yours.

You can keep them.

Whom do you wish to give them to?

I didn't want to invite
them without informing you.

We've been through a
lot to get here.

Just be careful.

You have a match next week.

'I was so happy to hear that
Sandeep was not only fine...'

'but was also back on his feet,
running and playing hockey as well.'

'International hockey doesn't
give a second chance to any player'

'Sandeep had grabbed this chance'

'And everyone was going to
witness the outcome in the next match'

'The match that was going to
take place in my new city, London'

You look just the same.

How?

The way you did when we last met.

I'm glad you don't look the same.

There's something
I wanted to ask you.

How's hockey going for you?

I thought you'd ask something else.

I started playing hockey for you.

I had no other
goal in life then...

other than you.

Then you went away.

To be honest,
I cursed you then...

but I would not have got
back on my feet if you had not left.

I called you here to thank you.

You're coming for
tomorrow's match?

I might...

I guess, this is what
I was hoping to hear.

I'll wait for you.

Tanveer won't witness his defeat,
sitting on the bench this time.

He will see it on the field.

Tanveer, you have to break Sandeep.

Even if we let them
score 12 goals...

the 13th will be
ours, coach sir.

13 is an evil number.

And I'm in the mood to kill.

Go, get them!

Sandeep Singh is returning
to play international hockey.

As a captain after a serious injury.

I hope this doesn't prove to be another
mistake of the selection committee.

There comes the king of Shahbad,
Sandeep Singh!

A round of applause, please!

There's my brave lad.

And with that, the first half begins.

Pakistan gets possession...
Yusuf passes the ball to Tanveer.

Stop it, stop it.

GO, go!

Good, good, good.

And he targets his waist.

Tanveer does an east-west
dribble, moves forward...

And a powerful strike.

Pakistan scores its first goal..

Within the first
10 minutes of the game.

Keep the tempo high, guys.

It's just one goal.

Sandeep and his team will
have to come up with a new strategy.

Sandeep...

GO, go!

Good job, good job.

Jaffar, on the right...

Get it, get it.

Mind your foot.

Short Corner.

And a clever move to turn
a simple pass into a Short Corner.

You can see the determination
on Sandeep's face.

And that's a fantastic goal!

Flicker Singh is
back with a vengeance.

A true warrior indeed.

India one, Pakistan one.

Go for the shot!

Pakistan gets another opportunity
to covert a Short Corner into a goal.

Go, go, go.
- Come on, Sunny!

The atmosphere is tense.

TanveerAlam challenging
that he'll hit at the right corner.

GO, go!

And that's a powerful strike!

TanveerAlam stuck to his promise..

Adding up to India's worries.

Don't mess with us.

It's bitter...

but it's true, Mr. Chairman.

Preeto aren't you going for the match.

Pakistan's attack is
at its peak at the finals.

Come on, Sunny.

What are you waiting for?

Come on, come OH, COMB OH.

Sandeep Singh plays aggressive hockey.

Sandeep passes,
and Raghuveer scores a goal!

India is back in the game!

My son is back in his form.

No one can stop him from
scoring goals now.

You saw that?

Amazing!

He is doing drama.

That's cheating.

I'll come there and beat you up.

He's threatening! Referee!

Shut up.

Let's see whether Sandeep Singh can
convert this Short Corner into a goal.

That was an amazing 360-degree
dodge by Sandeep Singh!

- Yes!
- That was an awesome goal.

Five minutes left on the ticker!

And Sandeep Singh scoring this
goal at the eleventh hour is amazing.

Well played!

Both the teams have the same score.

Three all.

Keep your ego aside
and clap for him, Sharma.

That boy is playing for India.

Take it, take it, take it.

He dodges the goal keeper
and tries to score a goal.

That's a great sliding
defense by Sandeep.

Pass it!

Sagan'.!

Navjyot, come on, come on!

Wait, wait, wait.

Well played.

Will have to give
this one to Sandeep Singh.

Instead of the mid-fielder,
he chose the centre forward..

And earned a critical
short-corner for India.

Don't miss the change.

'You're coming for
tomorrow's match?'

'I'll wait for you.'

Sandeep Sandeep Sandeep.

This is a great opportunity
for Sandeep Singh..

To prove himself as a player,
a drag-flicker and as a captain.

Sandeep, we've got to
convert this one in a goal.

Sandeep, you must make India win.

We must take the cup with us.

Sandeep Sandeep Sandeep.

'Promise me,
you won't see my matches'

'I won't.'

Oh no, he slips..

And missed the target.

Losing your body balance
at such an important moment...

losing your focus could be dangerous,
we'll soon find out.

Indian team is celebrating..

Whereas Pakistan's
team has applied for a review.

India and Pakistan...

Spectators of both the countries are
waiting for the result with bated breaths.

Nazir, don't worry,
the ball went out.

We have won.

I think Sandeep Singh
missed the target.

It felt like someone fired a bullet.

Let's see it from another angle.

That was a fantastic strike,
tearing the net apart!

That's a historic win for India.

Sandeep Singh creates
a record with this goal...

Fastest drag flick
in the history of hockey.

That was an
awesome flick, brother!

You tore the net!

Well done!

"Look up, soar high,
from ground to sky, oh my brother."

"Look up, soar high,
from ground to sky, oh my brother."

'That goal made me realize
that it wasn't scored by my Sandeep.'

'It was scored by
India's Sandeep Singh.'

'Sandeep Singh, who doesn't
get distracted by anyone anymore.'

'Sandeep Singh, who will
take Indian hockey to new heights.'

'Sandeep Singh,
world's fastest drag flicker.'

'And Indian Hockey's
highest goal scorer.'

'Shri Sandeep Singh is one
of India's greatest hockey players.'

'As a member of the
Indian Team he won...'

'..gold at Sultan Azlan Shah
International Hockey Tournament, 2009..'

'..and at Four Nations International
Hockey Tournament, 2008.'

'He captained the Hockey
Team at Asia Cup, 2009.'

'And he has been the highest goal scorer
at many international tournaments.'

'Recognizing his outstanding
achievements in the field of hockey..'

Shri Sandeep Singh is being
awarded with Arjuna Award, 2010.'

'Shri Sandeep Singh.'
