Catch him!

Excuse me. Please.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the legends' night.

Tonight, we're going to felicitate the
yesteryears' legends of Indian Cricket.

The great people who have paved
the path for generations to come.

The present day stars of cricket...

Bloody Ron...

has been doing rounds
of the North these days.

(Water Streaming Down)

I saw him yesterday.
(Water Streaming Down)

He was chasing Ajit.

(Water Streaming Down)

He's just about started,

but he's getting all the stars.

We're only hanging
on to our old ones.

Listen, Polly.

This time, I want Ajit and the two
new boys from the under 19 team.

I don't want to lose them.

This time, I don't
want to lose anyone.

Bear that in mind.

Without doubt, sir.

Ajit's brother got a food permit
for me for his restaurant.

Delhi PPL owners
are your friends.

As for Ron, if he visits the north
so often, he'll lose out on Kolkata.

- Ron won't be able to touch Ajit.
- Too late, dude.

Too late indeed.

Ron, I was just
talking about you.

I was praising you.

You know, I'm a
huge fan of yours.

- Tell him, Polly.
- Of course.

You know what...

(Water Streaming Down)

You were actually praising me.

- You took it to heart.
- No. Take it easy.

(Footsteps)

It's okay, sir.

Make a slick ad
campaign for them.

These cricketers can act.

No problem. Okay.

Who do you think
would the coach be?

- John or the South African?
- What do your sources say?

(Footsteps)

You are my source and my network.

Should be John. The stake's very high.

Oh.

Talk to your management
and fix a rate for my column.

Let me at least
have a square meal.

Nasty fellow.

Sir...

Please let me go inside.

Hi.

That's the situation.

I can't do it.

What should I do?

Let him speak.

Carry on. Say what you want to.

- Five bottles of mineral water.
- Five bottles!

Five bottles each time.

(Camera Click Sound)

- Please sit down.
- I'll take your leave now.

Sometimes you could sit with us.

I'm coming to your office tomorrow.

- See you there.
- Okay, see you.

Who have paved the path
for generations to come.

Ajit, I know you since you
played in the under 19 team.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

You're an ODI star and
the superstar of T20.

(Footsteps)

But the test scenario
has changed completely.

I really think, your game is
best suited for a test format.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

According to me, you
must tell your captain,

you're available for opening or
middle order in test matches.

Did the captain tell you that?

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

No.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

No, It's a team thing.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

Okay.

I'll think about it.

- Did you come here only for that?
- Of course.

You know I'm working
with Khanna, don't you?

(Metal Clinking)

I'm an agent. But first,
I'm a huge cricket fan.

And I'm selfish too.

I really want to see Ajit Singh bat
for the Indian test cricket team.

As for your contract with Khanna,
I know it's getting over soon.

And you definitely know, which ball
to hit and which one to skip. Right?

Okay.

I'll see you around.

- Let me know what happens.
- Sure.

- Sir, please...
- Good evening.

Excuse me, Raghu sir.

- How are you?
- Hello.

- How are you?
- I'm good.

How is the Indian
cricket team doing?

Well, no major hiccups
during my tenure.

Are we going to see a new
sponsor for team India?

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

Come on.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

It won't be right to discuss
such a serious topic here.

- Okay.
- Well...

- Everyone deserves a chance.
- Absolutely.

Hello.

- Hello. - How are you?
- Everything sorted out?

- Absolutely.
- Thank you.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

(Metal Clanking)

(Glass Clattering)

Hi.

Hi.

Still not drinking at parties?

I forgot.

You're at work.

Well, work is on 24 hours.
Parties are incidental.

- How are you?
- I'm fine.

- You know, you remember that?
- Of course.

We were together for a couple of months.
Remember?

Ron,

you look happy.

No.

You look easy.

- Easy?
- Yes.

I like it.

You look pretty. As usual...

Yes. Right.

I need to go.

See you.

- Sometimes, just like that.
- Just stay easy.

(Chuckles)

Okay.

(Door Closed Sound)

- Will you have some tea?
- Sure.

- The usual place?
- Yes.

(Car Passing Sound)

Ron, you must have
something with tea.

No. I'll have only tea.

Sir.

One moment.

Sir, you've come
after a long time.

Should I get some
tea and samosas?

Two cups of tea.

Sir...

(Car Passing Sound)

May I say something?

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

You should be an actor.

You must get into acting.
You're hero material.

You don't know, how much
I act all day long.

Here you are.

(Plastics Rustle)

Thank you, sir. I'll
get tea for you.

(Crowds Cheering)

- Today is the first day.
- That's right.

We'll see by tomorrow.

(Chuckles)

The game may just...

- Rika...
- Yes.

Are they done with the toss?

No. They're waiting for you.

(Crowds Cheering)

Fast pitch, hard
pitch can't take it.

- If they can't score...
- I have to report the match.

Rika, the selection committee
is about to change completely.

Once it's time for the elections,
the selection panel will change.

How long will Ajit wait?

What are you saying?

All four of them have a lot
of time to play test cricket.

- You think so?
- Yes.

Let's ask Ron.

Ron, what do you think?

Which one of the four will go first?

All of them are stalwarts of the
Indian middle batting order.

But what do you think?

Astrology pays too less, Rika.
I don't practise it.

I've had plenty of
your wisecracks.

Tell us. They won't mind.

You have nothing to worry.

You're the players' ATM card.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

- Get a copyright on sarcasm.
It'll benefit you. -Thank you.

I think they have a lot of cricket
left in them, at least for some time.

Why wouldn't you say that?

After all, you've hired
them for two years.

I know that.

- How are you Joey?
- Very well.

Haven't see you around
after the England tour.

I don't cover all the
tours these days.

I'm a senior editor now.

Got to spare something
for my juniors too.

Of course! Only domestic tours.

(Crowd Cheering)

Congratulations, Raghu sir.

Your daughter's getting married.

Hey!

How did you find out?

I have sources too.

Anyway, thank you Ron.

Oh yes...

Come to the office in the evening.

I've to discuss something.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

Actually...

I'm putting up a rain cover
over the entire field.

And I want the MNCs
to bear the cost.

Okay.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

- Hi.
- I'll just see you. - Okay.

Morning, Raghu sir.

- How are you?
- All well?

Raghu sir, it's a sporting wicket.
Really.

Nineteen for one.

Lunch and interval.

(Musical Instruments Playing)

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

I have to say this. I'm
stating a fact here.

Hi, I'm...

One moment. You were
saying something.

I mean, you were stating a fact.
Right?

The fact is that you are by far
the most beautiful visual,

this press box has offered
in a very long time.

Not fair for the other journalists.

- Do you rag newcomers like that?
- Oh, no! Only the pretty ones.

I'm Ron.

I know. I mean...

I think everyone knows that you're
the number one sports agent.

Guilty. But it's true.

I thought, you'd have a name.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm Shonali.

Lunch?

It's a break.

- Oh, is it a lunch break?
- Yes.

Sure.

You never waste time, Ron.

Your timing, Rika!

And you too, pretty thing.

- Listen, I'm going to wait there.
- Good start.

I got to go. Lunch
some other time.

- Sure. -See you.
- Bye.

(Metals Clanking)

Raghu sir.

Do you think,

our team is ready

for the Down Under series?

And, it's Australia.

Our one-day team seems very good.

But I was thinking the opening
of the test team is a little..

Ajit is in good form.

And he'll open also.

Thank you. It's a good
suggestion, but...

You know,

I don't interfere with the
team selection process.

But...

Our captain had said that too.

Right. But the team can't be
announced without your signature.

Sir,

we have support from the
north and the east.

If we have support from the
centre, we'll be sorted.

One of our boys will
be a part of the team.

Fourteen of them get selected
on the basis of reputation.

(Car Passing Sound)

Don't worry, Ravi.

How many times should I tell you,
the centre has to be with us?

I already have K.P. Yadav from
there on our one-day team.

Don't worry.

One of your boys
will be on the team.

The Indian team for the Australia
tour has been announced.

The only surprise is Ajit Singh who's a
star in the shorter formats of the game.

It's an interesting selection. But
the wicket is going to suit him...

Yes, Ajit.

Your suggestion has worked.

- I'm in the test side.
- Congratulations.

Make a contract for me.
I'm with you.

Whatever you like.

I definitely gain more profits
than other publications.

We go back a long way.

We can work out something
for each other.

I'd prefer to get more work
on the digital platform.

Don't worry.

That's my responsibility.

Ask Raman to give
a strong opinion.

His column is rather bland.

He's an ex-player anyway.
Nothing to fear.

I'll talk to him. What else?
How's life?

(Footsteps)

What else do we have left?
And what's life?

- See you.
- Take care.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

This deadline.

- Okay, bye.
- Okay. Bye.

- Hey!
- Hi!

(Passing Car Sound)

- How are you?
- I'm good.

You came to the office?

(Passing Car Sound)

(Passing Car Sound)

Do you want me to answer that?

No.

They changed the rate
for your column. Right?

Do you work here?

Yes.

First month?

Yeah, I mean...

No. It's my second month here.

I was on the desk for the first month.

They thought, I'm probably
better at reporting.

So... Second month.

First month, second month,
sounds like pregnant, isn't it?

No. Come on, I'll drop you.

It's okay. I'll manage.

I know you'll manage, but I insist.
Come.

Okay. If you insist...

- Where in the south?
- League Gardens.

- We'll drive through League Gardens.
- Okay.

(AC Whirring)

I've seen a lot of journalists.

You don't look like one.

Compliment?

Yes.

Seriously...

I mean, there's
something about you

that gets the better
of the journalist in you.

That's weird. I'm sure you're
not getting any of that.

Yes. Pretty deep.

I didn't understand.

You know, I'm not desperate
for a piece of news.

And I know my job very well.

I may want to take
up something else.

- You know...
- Like?

It's good that you
want to explore.

(Passing Car Sound)

(Passing Car Sound)

Ron.

Yes.

Sorry.

You were talking about different.

No. I wasn't. You
were asking me.

Ya!

I don't know.

I think...

I think I want to be a novelist

and share my stories with the world.

Why?

I don't look like a writer?

No... no...

You are a writer.

- Just share your story.
- Thanks.

Oh, we're here.

Please stop right here.

(Door Closed Sound)

(Chuckles)

Thank you for
the conversation and the ride.

You're welcome. Here's my card.

Are we friends now?

For starters...

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Bye.

(Rain and Thundering)

'Didn't I ask you to hurry up?'

'Could you tell me why you didn't?'

'This place can get flooded any time.
Come out.'

'Yes, please hurry up!'

'Dear...'

'Dear?'

'Dear?'

(Passing Car Sound)

'Nadeem!'

Nadeem.

Ma'am, Ronit has played so well.

It's impressive.

I had to get this for him.

It's a small gift.

Thank you, Khanna.

You didn't have to get this.

Why did you want to see me?

I'm a person, who speaks to the point.

How can I say this?

I mean...

You are...

depriving Ronit

of something he deserves.

Your favourite, Ron,
can't give him that.

He has no big brands.

Tell me, why doesn't Ronit
take up liquor ad campaigns?

Everyone does it.

These are his best years.

Why don't you get brands?

Show me the numbers.

Then, we can talk.

Mr. Khanna is a brand himself.

He can handle it single-handedly.

Really?

He's left-handed.

May we consider,
this meeting was positive?

You may think whatever you want.

But remember,

if you can bring us good deals,

we're with you.

Don't worry.

The board elections are due.

All the candidates are friends.

Besides, a good player must be supported.

- Just don't worry at all.
- Okay.

Thanks. I'll take your leave.

- Bye, ma'am.
- Bye.

- Ron, you're ignoring Ronit. I'm
telling you... - Shruti ma'am...

First of all, forget
all that Khanna said.

They are sellers.

I represent talent.

I get people paid for that.

- But Ron...
- Ronit has his own identity.

There'll be chapters about
him in school books.

He's going to be our pride. For
God's sake, he can't sell booze.

As for endorsements, I've
signed a deal with Thums Up.

Ronit will be the face of that campaign.
So, don't worry about the money.

(Crow Cawing)

Listen, Ron.

I like you.

That's why I won't terminate
the contract before it's over.

But I have the power to do that.

- Let me see how better you can get.
- Thank you.

(Car Passing Sound)

Congratulations. The cheque
from ACB got cleared.

Raghu sir had called up to
get in touch for a campaign.

The matter of YMC tickets
just doesn't seem to get over.

What's the matter Ron?

Is Ronit still with us?

You know, I always wanted to
stay within the boundary line.

Near the 22 yards.

This is not to bad either.

Is it?

Not that bad indeed.

- Hello.
- Hi, Ron. Shonali here.

Hey! Hi.

- I hope you're not busy.
- I wasn't expecting your call.

- Oh!
- But it's nice to hear your voice.

I used your card.

Ron, tell me something...

Will the ICC knockoffs
be held here,

or are they only speculations?

Oh! You're a journalist.

(Chuckles)

- It'll be held here.
- Sure?

What do you mean? Of course!

By the way, is the Indian
team returning tomorrow?

In a couple of days maybe.

- Forget about that. Listen to me.
- Yes.

- I wanted to ask you something.
- Yes.

(AC Whirring)

Still pretty?

Yes. Very. Still the same.

Okay. I'll see you at
the ground, reporter.

Sure. See you there.

- Bye.
- Bye.

(Footsteps)

Alright guys!

We have an announcement to make.

This year has been very
good for us financially.

All your hard work has paid off.

Congratulations.

- Congratulations!
- Congratulations everyone. Very well done.

You don't have to be so happy.

You aren't getting a hike.

Back to work.

We have the deal with the players
from Andhra and Rajasthan.

Skoda has backed that one.

So, they're all set.

(Footsteps)

(Car Passing Sound)

- Now what?
- Now, we have to retain our players.

Let's give them a reason.

I mean, let's give
them expensive gifts.

And to continue
with good results,

I think we should stick
to the same old policies.

We should expand.

Break boundaries.

What do you mean?

Overseas.

Overseas.

- Hey, Nicky.
- Hey, Ron.

- How are you my lad?
- What's up Ron?

I'm fine. Thank you.

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure, why not?

Will you get us
some cool brands?

Like a shoe manufacturer.

I look good on screen.
I don't look that bad.

- That's a great idea.
- That's great man.

Well, Nicky. Mike Irani and
you are my big overseas clients.

You can figure out
how much it means to me.

I know. You're the man.

I'll be in Mumbai for the ODI.
Let's meet then. What say?

Fantastic! Sure!

I'll see you in Mumbai
during the ODI.

- Okay, then. Bye.
- Bye, you take care.

(Announcements Made At An Airport)

Listen to me.

Tell Nicky, not to discuss
the bond with Irani.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

Is Boston coming?

Tell him not to discuss overseas
branding with the branders.

Number nine, six...

Yes.

Mumbai Flight...

Okay.

Getting ready.

- Passengers are requested...
- I'll call you back.

I'm boarding now.

Bye.

(Car Passing Sound)

(Cell Phone Ringing)

(Cell Phone Vibrating)

Hello.

Hi, I'm Cyrus. The
CEO of Gratitude.

I handle the south-east operations.

We're about to run a
huge campaign in India.

And The theme is
"West meets East".

Ron, we've heard you handle a lot
of stars in India and overseas.

Yes. But...

(Crow Cawing)

Cyrus, I don't know you.

If you come down to
India, maybe next week...

Ron, I'm already in India.

In fact, in Mumbai.

The launch dates are around the corner
and we wish to close the deals soon.

As you know, it involved
huge numbers, so...

Can we meet today?

Today, my schedule's
absolutely packed.

Tomorrow, maybe.

That will be good. Yes.
Thank you very much.

- I'll wait for your call.
- Bye.

Okay.

- Hi, Rika.
- Hi.

Is Ron staying in this hotel?

- Excuse me, ma'am. May I?
- Yes.

Yes.

(Footsteps)

- Hey, Ron. How was your flight?
- I came yesterday.

But still, how was your flight?

(Birds Chirping)

It flew.

(Crow Cawing)

I heard that in a film.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

- Excuse me, what's the name?
- Ron Sen.

- Hey, Ron.
- Hey, Joey.

Ron, squad man!

At least spare the grounds.

You're rigging the
grounds for brands.

You stop writing,
I'll give that up.

- Ron, what about our ticket?
- Tomorrow. I'll do it.

- Okay.
- Listen...

- Hey, Ron!
- Hey!

- I'll talk to you later.
- Yes, sure.

- Not bad!
- I'm here.

You're doing tours.

Are you here for the match?

- Yes.
- Okay.

And how was your flight?

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

Life-changing.

Listen. This is my first tour.

You'll help me with the news. Right?

I'm an agent. You'll
give me the news. Right?

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

I'm kidding.

Okay!

- Yes. Just a minute.
- Ya!

I'll try my best.

What are you doing after three?

I'm waiting for K.P. Once I'm
done with his interview...

- You want to go out?
- Okay.

That sounds fun.

Boy! You're dying
to go out with me.

Crap!

How are you?

Cyrus? You know Cyrus,
the Swiss company guy?

That's fine. Where
would I find him?

I don't even know Cyrus.

Sir...

Anything wrong?

Nicky knows Cyrus.

Maybe he was approached
for the campaign.

- Who is this Cyrus?
- I don't know.

- Hi, Ron.
- Hi.

This is Cyrus.

Let's go.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

(Cell Phone Ringing)

- Do you like it?
- Excuse me.

I've got to take this call.

I've got a watch
and these gifts...

Do you like them?

- What do you think?
- Listen...

I'm going to have
to take your leave.

There's a problem that I
have to take care of.

So, you carry on.

We'll probably join you later.

We'll cancel the Swiss deal.

International...

Sir, are you sure?

Yes.

(Footsteps)

- Ron, is everything okay?
- Yes, it's fine.

Have dinner at home.
I've instructed the cook.

Okay.

Did you get the job done?

(Song Playing In Car)

They weren't good people.

(Car Passing Sound)

Ron...

- Give it to me.
- I'll take it.

Give it to me. Come on.

(Police Siren)

- Hello.
- Hey, Shonali.

- Hi Ron. How are you?
- I'm good. How are you?

I'm fine.

Okay.

We couldn't catch up in Mumbai.

Can we go out for coffee now?

What?

You're asking me out again?

- No.
- Okay.

Bye.

I pass by this place so many times, but I
never thought of taking a walk over here.

"Until yesterday, I kept quiet."

Not bad.

"Though I had some
things to say to you."

"I don't want to keep
them to myself anymore."

"All things, new and old."

"I shall start from
the beginning."

"Let me open up
my heart gently."

"Why do I love you?"

"You brighten my life."

"My heart is drawn towards you."

"It smiles because of you."

"And bows to you."

"But I can't say I'm in love."

"O my love."

"O my love."

"O my love."

"O my love."

"The windows of my heart."

"Have been closed."

"Because I closed my eyes."

"Why don't you open them?"

"How did you do that?"

"Please tell me it's a feeling."

"That's very familiar."

"It's your touch
that sparks it off."

"I want to capture in my heart."

"I want to spend all my life."

"With you and only you"

I've observed some
things about you.

I think, your sense of humour
is a defence mechanism.

When someone tries
to get to know you,

you confuse them
with your humour.

There's a certain void within you.

It doesn't happen to everyone.

It only happens with deep souls.

"My heart is drawn towards you."

"It smiles because of you."

"And bows to you."

"But I can't say I'm in love."

"O my love."

"O my love."

"O my love."

"O my love"

(Cell Phone Ringing)

Yes.

Send an email to me.

I've seen it. I know.

You've got the footage.
Listen...

Don't tell anyone.

Absolutely.

Send me an email right now.

(Cell Phone Vibrating)

(Cell Phone Ringing)

Ron, we've been calling up
for such a long time.

What happened?

These journalists just
can't be loyal to anyone.

Put the TV on. You'll know.

Seriously. Turn it on.

(Grunts)

(Objects Clatter)

'NEWS REPORTER: Let's take a look
at the biggest news of the hour.'

'The big breaking news.'

'Dark clouds of match fixing loom over
International Cricket once again.'

'Speculators put cricket
lovers' emotions at stake.'

'Sports agent Ron Sen has been
accused of match fixing.'

'Is it right for agents to get too friendly
with the players, while the series is on?'

'International players, Nicky Owen and Mike
Irani have been accused of match fixing.'

As per Rika Sahay's report,

well-known sports agent, Ron
Sen got the deal through.

'It's believed, he made the most
of his friendship with players.'

'As per information from sources,
Ron is quite close to Raghu sir.'

(Doorbell)

'What does the board
have to say about this?'

'We're all eagerly
waiting to know.'

Ron...

Ron...

You're bleeding.

Ron, listen to me.

Let's listen to the reaction of
Ravi Khanna, another sports agent.

You're bleeding.

'What do you have to say
about match-fixing?'

It's hard to believe that
this is happening once again.

Ron will be punished
for what he has done.

Ron, I have nothing
to do with it.

This is not about you, Shonali.

'We must accept whatever it is.'

I know, I'm from the
same publication, but...

- Shonali.
- Please believe me.

This is not a good thing.

'We have a photograph.'

'The meeting
happened in Mumbai.'

Please do something about the wound.

It's really bleeding badly.

Leave me alone right now.

'We'll show you clips of
an interview with Rika.'

'When the game gets bigger,
the voices come with it too.'

'Ron Sen is working with
Cyrus, who is a bookie.'

How can he not know?

'I don't believe it.'

'If you're getting into a situation despite
knowing what it is, what do you expect?'

Look...

Fixing is a dark side of cricket.

It happens.

They met at a hotel.

Ron helped the deal fall through.

- What is your beat?
- This one.

You ungrateful reporter.

Have you ever found a single
piece of news yourself?

Never. I've always provided you.

I made you who you are.

You've provided news. So what?

You're just a bloody source, Ron.
I'm a reporter. Not a broker.

You can do whatever you want.
Why can't we write about it?

Ron, please answer that.

(Footsteps)

(Car Passing Sound)

- Listen, Ron...
- Raghu sir, I'm clean.

I know.

I know you're innocent.

And I know you love the
game too much to do this.

But the problem is,

every channel is
flashing the photograph,

of you shaking hands
with the bookie.

You're smiling.

The bookie, Cyrus, is the
CEO of Gratitude Watches.

I double-checked that.

- Legally, I can't be blamed.
- Ron...

You know that I've supported
you all through your career.

But you should've been responsible.

(Car Passing Sound)

You know that

the public believes
what they're shown.

You're all over the
media all the time.

Anyway...

The board is not taking
any action against you yet.

But you have to lie low.

For the time being, you must
keep away from cricket.

And for how long...

I don't know.

Are you sure, the board won't
take an action against me?

You just had to...

Thanks, anyway.

Ron... Ron...

- One moment.
- Ravi...

Sorry, I can't give you a bite.

- I'm in a hurry.
- I don't want a bite.

I'm from the print media I wanted
to talk to you, if you could...

Yes, go on.

Ravi, no one knows
Ron better than you.

You know, Ron is a victim.

He can't get into fixing.

But you won't spare an
opportunity to attack him.

You're a reporter.

Have I given you tips about
how to interview people?

How you should ask questions,
or how the angle should be?

Have I ever told you that?

- Polly, have I?
- No.

- Is it that I've said it,
but don't remember? -No.

No.

Coming to the point. Patience.
I'm coming there.

I've never told you that.

Why?

Because I don't know,
what your struggle is,

how you tackle the management,

how you portray the truth in the
newspapers, ...or how you conceal it.

I don't know anything.

I'm not making a personal
attack on anyone.

I'm only doing my job
with all my heart.

You should also do the same.

Well, you've got close
to Ron only recently.

- I know him well.
- Oh my.

Then you'd know it all.

Then you'd know it all. Polly,
this girl knows everything.

It's a marvellous performance.

Okay. Bye.

You spoke very well, sir.

- But do you think, Ron could...
- Are you crazy?

(Crow Cawing)

Ron is crazy about cricket.

He can give up his life for cricket.

But fixing...

Never.

(Crow Cawing)

But then what's the
point, if they ban me?

Captain, you know I'm clean.

You...

Captain was the last hope.

(Gasps)

It's been three weeks

since we went from the biggest
agency to zero clientele.

Only three ex-cricketers left
to write columns. That's it.

Sir, no publications
are taking our columns.

And...

Anindo has resigned.

It might be depressing,
but it's the reality.

There's no work and no
one will give us any.

I can't keep you all engaged.

Give everyone the salary for three months.
Probably, not my luck.

(Car Passing Sound)

"Stay a while, river."

"Don't flow."

"I request you."

"For some time."

"The winds bring the
news of the rain."

"Stay here today."

"The stars have disappeared."

"Leaving us sleepless."

"And we've lost our way
to the destinations."

"I lost your scent."

"I lost your faith."

"All I have left are appeals."

"Let the river flow on."

"The birds are sleeping now."

"That used to flew around here."

"They hovered around here."

"They flew around here."

"I wonder where they are now."

"Stay a while..."

"...river."

"Why are my mornings so bland?"

"Tell me why."

"Why is my path so rough?"

"Why are my dreams unfulfilled."

"Stay a while, river."

What are you doing, Babu? Babu, Babu.
Don't go there.

It's very dusty over there.
Babu.

Babu.

(Birds Chirping)

"Stay a while, river."

"Why are my mornings so bland?"

"Tell me why."

"Why is my path so rough?"

"Why are my dreams unfulfilled."

"Stay a while, river."

- Hello.
- Hello, sir. I'm Ravi from Maxwell.

- Good morning, sir.
- I don't think so.

As you know, Puja is approaching.
We have a great offer.

And you know, it's five days. So,
there are offers coming up...

Puja is approaching?

(Sanskrit Mantra)

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

(Indistinct)

- Excuse me, may I have some water?
- Sure.

What to say?

I am here with my mother, wife
and kids for this festival.

We only get four days off.

What do you do?

- What do you do?
- I am an autorickshaw driver.

I drive an autorickshaw.

Autorickshaw driver. Yes.

Okay brother. We'll meet again
if we are alive. Happy Festival!

Thank you.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

(People Beating Drums)

(People Beating Drums)

(People Beating Drums)

(People Beating Drums)

(Indistinct)

Okay.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

I was just wondering,

what's your take on agents
apologising to pretty women?

I like the idea,

but

we must think over
a cup of coffee.

Thank you.

You know, we had an earthen toy.

A horse.

It was a very old one.

Dad loved it.

It was mom's gift.

One day, I broke it.

The small pieces were
all over the room.

Dad was very upset.

But then he collected
all the pieces

and put them together with glue.

The horse was completely
broken, Boston.

I thought, it wouldn't
stand on its own.

It's been 11 years
since dad passed away.

But the horse still
stands in my almirah.

I'll be back.

I know, Ron sir.

I know, you'll make a comeback.

All you need...

is to do something, no agent
has ever done before.

Shonali, you know I don't like
birthday celebrations and gifts.

You're very selfish.

I like to gift a loved one on
their birthday and get a treat.

Let's go there.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

- I'm sorry, sir.
- Idiot! Are you blind?

Are your eyes defective?

- Can't you see? You blind!
- Forgive him, sir.

- He won't do that again. I'm very sorry.
- Say sorry.

I'm sorry, sir.

Bloody duffer. You
broke my phone.

Saying sorry won't help!

Wait.

- Ron!
- Sir, are you okay?

Thank you.

Against a team like Mumbai, Well...
it was a good game today.

The Indian captain is
very pleased with you.

- Well, I'm a fan of the captain, and...
- Do I know you?

Could you call Rika?

Ma'am, someone's
here to see you.

- She'll be here.
- Okay.

(Objects Clattering)

- I'll just come back.
- Sure.

(Car Passing Sound)

- Who is it?
- Hey.

(Car Passing Sound)

Ron.

It's been a while.

I hope you haven't
deleted my number.

You've learnt manners.

(Gasps)

Listen, I was just doing my job.

Hey! Forget about it.

Let bygones be bygones.

- It was meant to be.
- No.

- I wanted to ask you something.
- Yes.

Do you remember the
cricketer, Shome Ray?

Shome Ray...

He was supposed to be
the next "Dada" of Bengal.

Yeah, why isn't he
playing anymore?

I don't know.

He probably had a
serious injury.

I really don't know what
happened after that.

I was working on the story.

After a while, it faded away.

But, I know where
his sister works.

I'm sorry, you had to wait.

It's okay.

Can we talk here?

I'm here to talk
about Shome Ray.

I've been in the industry
for a very long time.

I can tell that he is an
extremely gifted cricketer.

He should've been on the
Indian cricket team.

Why is he working in a mall?

You probably don't know,
Shome can't play cricket.

He's a store boy.

What do you mean
by "can't play"?

- I have a request.
- Anything you say.

You'd rather look elsewhere
for your talent shopping.

My brother really has
nothing to offer you.

Sorry.

(Footsteps)

But I appreciate that you
wanted to know about Shome.

Thank you.

Sorry again.

Babi, have you paid
the electricity bill?

Here. From the next month,
it's going to be a blue bill.

At last!

Every month, we'd spend
at least a hundred on fine.

Was it a long queue?

(Pouring Water)

Babi...

(Pouring Water)

Did you get your guitar
strings changed?

If the tunerneeds
to be replaced,

get it done.

Babi...

If you don't like it at
the store, you may quit.

- Find a job elsewhere.
- It's okay.

Do you remember the agent,

who took you for
off season county?

You shouldn't have met Ron.

No...

I dismissed him. He
won't come back.

(Pouring Water)

But don't you think,

- ...if you try again, you may...
- The water bottles are full.

The past cannot get better.
Accept it.

Why are we even talking about it?

Yes. You're right.

Actually, the agent
reminded me of that.

(Car Passing Sound)

- Hi, Shome.
- Hi.

I'm Ron.

(Car Passing Sound)

Probably...

- Forget about it.
- I know.

That's great.

We know each other.
Makes it easier.

(Car Passing Sound)

I've seen cricketers
very closely.

It's my thing.

I'm not saying, I'm a coach.

But I have the talent
of spotting talent.

You understand what I'm saying.

Yes.

(Car Passing Sound)

You're better than any of the
players of your generation.

You could've easily played in
at least for a decade.

I don't understand...

That was the past.

Now I'm a college dropout,
who works as a salesman.

I'm sorry, I must
get back to work.

Ma'am, I want to help Shome.

He doesn't need help.

- I...
- Ma'am...

- I think I've already told you.
- Will you stop being in denial?

I know, you want to
watch him playing.

(Car Passing Sound)

But you have to start
the process now.

(Crow Cawing)

Trishna, if you don't
do anything now,

you'll regret all your life
that you didn't try your best.

You...

Do you really think that
Shome can play again?

Come, let's talk about it.

Come.

Let's talk about it. Come on.

(Footsteps)

His cricket journey,

started his journey on this ground.

I'd come here every day, to
take him home after practice.

He must've been 11-12 years old.

Everyone thought, his talent
was rare in children his age.

He had confidence in his talent.

Have you seen Shome playing

- ...before the accident?
- Yes. I remember.

School, club, district, Bengal...

He played at all levels.

Under 13, under 15, under 17.

And then came under
19 world cup.

It was all unfolding like a dream.

But at a local club match...

Move to the left. A little left.

Let's have someone for a cover.

- Okay.
- Shome...

- Do you need a helmet?
- No, I don't. It's the last over.

Very good.

- Doctor...
- Yes.

My brother.

What's happening?

Don't worry. It's a concussion.
He'll regain consciousness soon.

- Excuse me, doctor...
- He's okay. Out of danger.

The concussion was heavy,
but he fought it out.

Thank you so much.

He was all over the media.

It was only Babi.

Babi's injury
interested everyone.

But in a week, the news moved from
the main page to the inner pages.

A local psychologist said,

Babi's reflexes had weakened.

He tried hard.

But his main skill, batting,

sort of disappeared.

Babi couldn't score runs
even at club matches.

All the team-mates had
started talking about him.

And then one day, Babi
stopped going for practice.

I could do nothing.

Now he's lost all the time.

He has created his own world.

(Wings Fluttering)

In fact, my brother
is rather alone.

Very lonely.

- Babi, would you like some tea?
- No.

(Slurps)

Vinod is getting
married in Siliguri.

Do you want to come?

(Cricket Commentary)

Babi,

what are you doing?
Leave Star Sports on.

Why?

(Sound From Television)

It's an interesting match.
Turn it on.

- Suddenly?
- Yes.

- I want to watch cricket.
- Why do you want to watch it?

Because, I can't see you like that.
Give it to me.

(Gasps)

Babi...

What is this?

You can't watch a match on TV.

- You don't have friends...
- I'm okay.

Babi, you're not okay.

You're running away from life.

Those who do that,

find no place in the world.

It's all nice to say.

The death of your
dreams is painful.

I don't want to live through
the pain all over again.

Babi, isn't your life painful now?

Give yourself a chance.

Meet Ron.

If nothing else,

you could make friends with him.

(Footsteps)

- Hi. Thanks for coming.
- Hi.

I wanted to see you.

Sit.

Shome, I'll come
straight to the point.

I checked your medical records.

There's something I
don't understand.

You never underwent treatment.

On what basis did you decide,
you couldn't play cricket?

I was in the hospital for 36 days.
I was under treatment.

Cricketers spend millions
to travel to the US, UK

and Australia, for their
counselling sessions.

And lots of them.

How many did you go through?

I'll tell you. Just one.

It was at a local association.

Shome, you've been
treated physically.

No one tried to treat
the mental scars.

You need a good psychologist.

You know what, injuries, dropping,
selection, disappointment

is a part of every player's life.

There's one more thing.

Comebacks.

(Gasps)

Yes.

In the life of players.

(Footsteps)

(Footsteps)

Look at the huge gallery, Shome.

Thousands of people
come to watch.

And the place where we're standing,

in the 22 yards,

only two batsmen
can bat at a time.

This is where you belong.

You're a performer, Shome.

Not a spectator.

Give it one more chance.

It's been three years.

I don't have a kit.

"There's determination
in your stride."

"Your name is being
heard all over."

"You're gearing up for
a war with the sky."

"On empty grounds,
in deserted lanes."

"There's a storm brewing up."

"Run ahead, my man."

"Run ahead, my man."

Shome isn't willing to talk.

He hasn't completed
a single sentence.

He's very confused.

Very very confused.

"Your determination is rooted
as deep as the ocean."

"Your identity is defined
by the ground you play on."

"You're the sun."

"And the sunlight too."

"You're the son of the earth."

"You're the fire!"

"You're competing
with the skies."

"Listen to your heart."

"The ground is yours."

"It chose you."

The trainer didn't
show up today.

I don't want to run all alone.

"My man, you're back!"

"Run ahead, my man."

"Run ahead, my man."

"Run ahead, my man."

"Run ahead, my man."

"Don't turn around."

"The sky beckons."

"Run ahead, my man."

"Don't turn around."

"Run ahead, my man."

He's working out very well, but
doesn't go close to the nets.

(Birds Chirping)

After the injury, that's
been his problem.

(Birds Chirping)

The problem can be sorted, if
we have a good psychologist.

The ones, we're consulting,
are very basic.

(Objects Clattering)

Dad would've taken care of it.

He was a teacher.

(Objects Clattering)

(Crow Cawing)

(Objects Clattering)

Dr. Zayed Khan.

If anyone can help Shome
right now, it's him.

He works wonders with
the players' minds.

I don't know where he is.
Captain should know.

Hey, captain.

(Clapping)

Do you remember Dr. Zayed Khan?

(Birds Chirping)

Do you have an
idea, where he is?

(Birds Chirping)

Who is it?

I wanted to see Dr. Zayed Khan.
Could you please call him?

(Crow Cawing)

There's no doctor here. Only a tailor.

Of course.

Could you please
call Mr. Zayed Khan?

Stay here.

(Footsteps)

Sir,

you have a couple of visitors.

Okay. Send them upstairs.

(Hens Cackle)

He's upstairs.

You stay here.

(Footsteps)

(Birds Chirping)

(Machine Whirring)

(Bell Chimes)

Ronjoy. Right?

Spot on, doc.

(Birds Chirping)

Quite a hideout.

- Sit down.
- Yeah.

Sit down.

(Birds Chirping)

Last time I met you,

you were a money man. A big man.

(Chuckles)

So...

Turned a reporter?

(Birds Chirping)

I'm getting used to this.

(Birds Chirping)

UK-based Dr. Zayed Khan.

Indian cricket team's most
successful psychologist.

Here?

Like this?

Don't get me wrong. I
know it's you inside.

(Hens Cackle)

Probably, I always knew,
I was a better tailor.

You aren't here to confirm that.

Go on.

(Birds Chirping)

Why are you here?

Doc...

There's a boy.
(Antique Clock Ticking)

He's a very good cricketer.

One of the...

One of the best I've seen.

(Birds Chirping)

He has forgotten how to play.

Only you can bring him
back to the field.

(Muslim's Azaan)

Ronjoy, this is a tailor's shop.

We take measurements,

cut fabric and sew clothes.

(Muslim's Azaan)

We fix clothes here.

We don't fix human minds.

(Bicycle Bell Sounds)

Someone needs help from
you, but you're refusing.

A nineteen-year old
boy is like your son.

Let's not go there.

Please.

(Birds Chirping)

Doc, I just want to see him back.

I don't know what
your situation is,

but he really needs you.

(Birds Chirping)

(Car Passing Sound)

This is...

(Birds Chirping)

pretty much my life now.

I find it difficult to do this.

(Antique Clock Ticking)

I don't have anything to help others.

- Only once, if you...
- That will be all, sir.

(Antique Clock Ticking)

Try finding a good reason for not
rescuing a lost, helpless boy.

(Car Passing Sound)

In case you fail, here's my card.

(Footsteps)

(Birds Chirping)

Ronjoy.

(Footsteps)

- Let's go, Shome.
- Ronjoy.

You forgot your sunglasses.

Sir, can we shorten the length
of the shirt number 36?

I'm off for the day.

That would be all.

(Crow Cawing)

What did he just say?

(Hens Cackle)

Tomorrow's match is huge.

There'll be an audience
of about 70-80 thousand.

National media,
international media,

press, celebrities, ministers,
everyone will be around.

It's a huge event for them.

But not for you.

You'll play only cricket.

The opponent is probably
better than us.

But we have to beat the
Aussies in their own den.

It's not two months from now,
or two weeks, or two days.

Now!

It's now

Or...

Never!

(Crow Cawing)

Zoya?

Hospital?

What happened?

Which?

Which hospital?

Zoya, what are you...

How...

Zoya!

What are you saying, Zoya?

Zoya!

Zoya, I want my son.

Zoya...

(Birds Chirping)

Very nice footwork.

Yes. It was three wickets down.

The pressure was on.

(Objects Clattering)

Hello.

Doctor.

(Crow Cawing)

Can we talk?

Thank you for seeing us.

It's too early for that.
But, let's see.

- Shome, Dr. Khan.
- Hello, Shome.

Hi, sir.

(Crow Cawing)

(Gasps)

Sit.

I'll be outside.

(Car Passing Sound)

(Gasps)

Do you know why you're here?

Yes, sir I...

I mean, doctor...

You'll talk to me and I...

No. You'll talk.

I'll listen.

Whenever.

(Chuckles)

Okay.

(Gasps)

(Papers Rustle)

Shome.

Yes, sir.

Ronjoy.

(Car Passing Sound)

- You're always eating.
- Yeah.

Done?

Yes. Done for the day.

(Crow Cawing)

Thank you, sir.

(Crow Cawing)

How was it?

Good.

He hasn't spoken to me yet.

Is that good?

(Car Passing Sound)

Next session, Thursday.

Write the first thing
that comes to your mind.

One word.

(Scribbling On Notebook)

Quick, quick. Write it down.

What else do you like?

I like music. I play guitar.

(Chuckles)

Next time, get your guitar along.

I don't play that well.

- I'd like to listen.
- Okay. I'll bring it.

(Gasps)

Do you remember the first time
you held your cricket bat?

I was probably nine
years old, when...

It's not even...

Seven or nine years old.

How did it feel to hold the bat?

Like...

I had another hand.

Like I had a longer arm.

And when the ball came...

It used to be...

Hitting the ball used to be my most
favourite feeling in the world.

The batsman in him
is not reacting.

That doesn't mean,
his talent is dead.

No. Deep down he's
still a cricketer.

(Birds Chirping)

That's why I have to give
him cricketing shocks.

Shocks?

Not an electrical shock or emotional
shock but cricketing shocks.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, sir.

I think Elvis was the best.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

I still feel G N R
is the best, though.

Okay.

How's the wicket?

Well...

(Laughter)

Slow and low as any?

Actually, the bounce is pretty
good at the practice wickets.

But...

It shouldn't be that bad.

(Gasps)

Trishna, it's okay. You don't have
to come every day. He'll be fine.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll go there and watch him.

- I'll leave in some time.
- It's not that you're disturbing.

I thought, you'd be busy.

He looks up to you.

Yeah.

(Birds Chirping)

It's just the two of us.

We can't be so busy that

in trying times,

we can't be there
for each other.

(Birds Chirping)

Sometimes, he's happy.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

I don't want to miss that.

(Objects Clattering)

So tomorrow, shall
we try a few knocks?

- Okay.
- No bowler.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

Maybe, feel the pleasure
of the ball strike your bat.

The only reason,
I play the game.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

How do you feel?

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

What time tomorrow, sir?

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

You need to face the
cricket ball now, Shome.

Not any doctor.

Just remember one thing.

Face the ball, not the bowler.

(Crow Cawing)

Thank you, sir.

Are you sure?

(Machine Whirring)

He'll be fine.

Champion!

(Footsteps)

You go head!

He's fine.

Thank you.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

Sir...

(Footsteps)

Can I say something?

(Birds Chirping)

It's okay to live a little.

Take care of him.

I will.

Thank you.

Ron, Shome is our own player.

But I can't register him.

- Next year, sure.
- Cut the crap.

Listen to me carefully.

The association elections are due.

Five, second-division club,
three, first-division club,

and six association
votes can be yours.

And you need them.

I'm not on the
international scene.

But I know how it works on
the grounds of Kolkata.

Shome, well-played.

(Motorbike Passing SOund)

Well-played.

(Objects Clattering)

I was thinking of getting
you and Sujoy married

off a little early because
after marriage...

- Just check.
- Yes.

Since you are heading to the U.S.
after marriage.

Moreover, since all have been settled,
there's no reason of delaying it further.

- Dad.
- Yes.

Ron and Shome.

Hi, Ron.

- Come in, Shome.
- Hi.

- Sit down.
- Please, sit down.

(Grunts)

- Will you have tea?
- No, thanks.

By the way, Sujoy.

Hi.

- Ron.
- Sujoy.

- Hi.
- Sujoy.

(Grunts)

Shome, you're a cricketer. I know you.

How's that injury?

- I'm absolutely fit now.
- Good.

- What do you do?
- I run a sports management company.

- Sports management.
- Yes.

This is Ron and that's Shome.

Sports management.
What is that? Never heard of.

I get players endorsements,
marketing, field-space sponsorships,

player columns. Sometimes, I mediate
TV and satellite deals also.

Oh.

- You're a broker.
- No.

Shome is my client. I get him
work and get a percentage.

- Listen to me.
- What?

You take money from him.
That's not right.

No. Ron is like my mentor.

I know what sports agents do.

It's quite regular in the U.S.

Oh my God! Don't think about it.
Just marry Ron! He's so handsome!

Dad likes Sujoy.

By the way, my daughter is
getting engaged to Sujoy.

- It's okay.
- That's my mom.

Sit down.

Have something.

Thank you.

Shome, please have some.

(Car Passing Sound)

Dad.

My father.

(Car Passing Sound)

- He had his own style.
- Yes.

- He isn't here.
- Passed away.

Oh, sorry.

That was long ago. I was
nineteen years old.

(Crow Cawing)

Come.

Nice place.

Try that.

I learnt it long ago.
Never tried earlier.

- How is it?
- It's very bad, Ron.

I'm sorry.

(Car Passing Sound)

I've spoken about you.

Whenever you're asked,
insist on opening.

The longer you're on the
wicket, the better.

I know, Ron.

I've been playing in the first
division since I was eleven.

I know how to handle that.

The wicket over there is bad.

Will you get a flat track for me?

Well, Ron.

You're not working with players.

You're only focussing on me.

If you want, you can
talk to other players.

Do you feel the pressure?

I'm a cricketer.

Pressure is normal for me.

And I'm an agent. I know my bet.

(Car Passing Sound)

Sir, there's a problem.

We have a situation over here.

Please come here.

Okay, sir. Sure.

- Boston.
- Oh! Really. - Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Ron.

You know I don't celebrate.

I didn't know that.

Come on.

Shonali ma'am won't
listen to me.

Shut up and cut the cake.
Otherwise...

Let's sing the song.

"Happy birthday to you."

"Happy birthday, dear Ron."

"Happy birthday to you."

- Sir, I'll cut the cake.
- Sure.

Thank you guys.

Thank you.

- Is it a holiday?
- No.

Happy birthday, sir.

Listen, guys.

I wanted to discuss
something with you all.

Everyone knows, Shome
is in good form.

(Grunts)

I think, he should play PPL.

The fact that works
in our favour is

that he does not have to go through the
traditional time-consuming process.

Wait for the selectors' nod.

If the owners feel
he's good, he plays.

But sir, which PPL
team would hire Shome?

No one knows him.

I haven't approached anyone.

I wanted to discuss it with you.

Isn't it too soon?

Do you think he can handle
the pressure at PPL?

He's ready.

Come on, guys.

He'll train with the best of the best.
He'll travel with national players.

- It'll be an opportunity of a lifetime!
- You did it for yourself.

You were always thinking
about yourself.

You wanted the entry
in the big league.

My brother was the ticket.

Trishna, leave me out.

- Think about it from Shome's
point of view. - Oh, no!

Excuse me.

Why not Ranji, Ron?

I'll tell you.

Because, there's no
money or fame in Ranji.

It's a small platform for
great sports agent, Ron.

If he doesn't perform in PPL,

my brother will be a joke.

But how does it matter to you?
You're a businessman.

My brother is just
a project for you.

My brother won't play PPL.
Not now.

- No.
- Sister...

Brother...

If I have the chance, I'll play.

I know you want the same, sister.

You're only scared.

But I'm not scared anymore.

I'll play.

He has made a lot of progress
in the last one month.

Don't rush him, Ron.

Let him take his own time.

(Objects Clattering)

Hi, sir.

- Very well played.
- Thank you, sir.

See you around.

See you, Ron.

(Gasps)

- The bounce is low.
- Quite low.

- It has to be tough over there.
- That one.

- I will.
- Let's see your performance.

Sir, Shaan's team
wants to meet today.

Today itself.

- Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
- Good evening, Ron.

- I'm going to get to work.
I know, you're busy. -Sure.

Okay.

Shome Ray.

He has played for the Indian under
19 team, that won the world cup.

He could be a very good asset for any PPL
team. Firstly, he's back at his best.

Everyone knows, Shome
can win a T20 match

single-handedly and he's
a brilliant fielder.

Second, very important thing.

He comes to you without money.

Thirdly, most importantly...
Shome's past.

The franchisee that he is with,
will get a lot of media attention.

Ron, media attention
doesn't fetch us runs.

But it fetches sponsors.

Yes.

In fact, you should come down
and see him practise some time.

Sure, I will.

"Set yourself free."

"In the grounds."

"You're gearing up for
a war with the sky."

"Your heart has been
yearning for it."

"The ground is yours."

"It chose you."

"My man, you're back!"

"Run ahead, my man."

"Run ahead, my man."

"Don't turn around."

"Run ahead the sky beckons."

"Run ahead."

Hi, Ron.

Shaan had to go to Dubai.

I'm Venky, the CEO of the company.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Shome is playing really very well.

We can take him in the squad.

(Objects Clattering)

Come on, next.

Come on.

Have you packed your kit bag?

You shouldn't miss out on anything.

And your...

Good.

- Take a new pair of trousers.
- Okay.

What if there's a party?

Put this one in.

It's the PPL party.

Jeans won't be allowed.

Sister, new players need
not attend the party.

Only stars are required
to make an appearance.

These parties don’t
follow a dress code too.

The press comes for the stars.

The food is delicious.

Ron.

Yes, that's me.

What happened?

What do you mean?

I mean, is everything okay?

Yes, it is. What could
possibly go wrong?

You can invite me in.

Oh! Please.

- Hey, big guy.
- Hi, Ron.

(Car Passing Sound)

So...

Shome, today I'm
here for myself.

You've started to play
some serious cricket now.

Before you're hired
by another agency...

Your first cheque from the squad.

Will you be my first client?

(Car Passing Sound)

How are you?

Where are you right now?

Ron, I'm at a coffee shop.
I'll call you later.

Oh...

It's alright. Okay.

(People Chattering Indistinctly)

(Footsteps)

I'm really sorry, but
I have to do this.

(Gasps)

I've known this for a long time,
but I never told you this.

I'm in love with you.

It's not your fault. You
don't have to do anything.

Just know it.

Sorry, dude.

Ron...

I thought, you'll never ask.

I do love you.

You knew it, didn't you?

Still engaged.

(Cell Phone Ringing)

You haven't gone to bed?

You haven't either.

What's the matter, Babi?

Nothing.

- You're playing tomorrow, aren't you?
- Yes.

I was thinking, if I can be on
the top of the batting order...

You'll score runs tomorrow definitely.

You won't watch the match
tomorrow, will you?

(Gasps)

- Let's go to sleep.
- Okay.

(Gasps)

'It is a crucial match for
Kolkata Kaisers for sure.'

'They have to win the match
to qualify for the semi-finals.'

'A few players are out
with a dodgy belly.'

'But it opens up a lot of places for
the young boys like Shome Ray.'

'He's a talent for sure.'

'He hasn't played
cricket for a while,'

'but it's going to be a great
night for him as well.'

'But the important
thing is the team.'

'The team has to win the match
to qualify for the semi-final.'

'It's going to be a
great night for sure.'

'The crowd is really
looking forward to it.'

'And well, we are too.'

(Car Passing Sound)

'Gujarat guidlines have
put up a great total.'

'Kolkata Kaisers have to play out
of their skin to win the match.'

'The wicket won't change much.'

'The start will be a
factor for sure.'

- Hey, keeper...
- It's a horrible mix.

He's gone!

Kolkata Kaisers lost
their fifth wicket.

- It's going to be a difficult situation.
- Is Shome coming next?

And this match is going
down to the wire for sure.

Oh, it's Shome Ray.

Young talent from Bengal.

It's going to be a difficult
situation for the young boy,

who has not played
cricket for two years.

- This boy is very promising.
- He is good, but the pressure's too much.

This's going to be none I have a feeling,
this's going to be the night for Shome Ray

to pull up great victory here.

It's straight to the boundary.

It's straight to the boundary,
but any strike will take there.

(Crowds Cheering)

(Bell Chimes)

Eighteen runs from
six deliveries.

Oh! Welcome to the crease.

Yes, it's been years.

He's a decent bowler. He
backs up with a good pace.

What a shot!

What a shot! Straight
down the wicket!

Shome Ray is turning
it on for sure.

Good job!

That's nice.

(Indistinct)

He's pulled it! It
went to the crowd!

Another six for Shome Ray.

He's playing it
splendid out here!

What a shot! That calls for
a cover drive for sure.

(Indistinct)

Six runs, two balls.

Shome Ray. This kid
is a sensation.

This is an experienced
bowler for sure.

He has played a lot of ODIs and
shorter formats of the game.

He knows what to do now.

(Indistinct)

(People Clapping)

Come on, catch it!

That's a clean hit!

It's flying. It's up there!

Clean hit. He has done it!

Shome Ray, That's four runs!

A sensational victory!

Kolkata kaisers are
into the semi-finals!

This young hero has
created history for sure.

He is the hero today!

You were great.

(Grunts)

- Yes.
- Hello, sis.

- Yes.
- Sister!

Tell me.

We won.

(Gasps)

- What?
- We won, sister!

- Really?
- Yes!

We won, sister!

- It's unbelievable, isn't it?
- Yes.

Hello.

I'm the man of the match!

I'm the man of the match!

We won!

We have won.

- Hello.
- I won it.

Are you okay?

I'm your brother.
Nothing to worry.

I'm okay.

I'll call you back.

Okay.

After a year, Shome cantered the domestic
circuits Scored many in the PPL.

He even scored a double
hundred in the Irani trophy.

They selected Shome Ray
for the England tour.

Ron and Shome's story

seemed a legendary tale
of a player and an agent.

Many new clients are
there with him now.

He is back at his best.

Yes, it's me.

Swiss?
