[Cricket commentary]
- 'How good is this man, Kapil Dev.'

'Kirsten was giving himself room
hitting through the off side.'

'They are short of boundaries
and look at the this.'

Pitched on off stump...
Yorker length, brilliant bowling.'

[Clapping]

'Kapil Dev will
have to be very careful.'

'It's gone flying away
down towards the boundary.'

Oh God, I wish another wicket
goes down, immediately...

No, not immediately.
As soon as my son is born,

I'll worship you
and make offerings to you.

Just one more wicket, oh Lord!

C'mon, my child,
let's see the magic of Kapil.

[Howling]

[Crackers bursting]

Wake up!

Iqbal, wake up!

Wake up, it is 9am.

How can someone sleep till 9am?

Wake up!

Your mom is to be
blamed for everything,

she has spoilt you rotten.

He is useless.

There are certain rules in my
house, I won't tolerate all this.

He does no work at all,
just sits and eats.

Today, is the
last day of his freedom.

Tomorrow onwards, he will
accompany me to the farm.

I've been feeding a
20 year old donkey. - He is 18.

'Is your motor cycle
in a working condition?'

'Sir, it runs very smoothly.'

'I wouldn't have sold it,
if I wasn't in a tight spot'

'Where are the
registration papers?'

'Here you go.'

'Here is your Rs 4000.'

Thank you.

Cycling will be a good exercise
and it's good for health, too.

I don't know, how you manage
to digest so much of food.

But, whenever I see you eat,
I feel delighted.

We need money for the
electricity supply in the farm.

And your dad will
never steal electricity.

He is a man of principles.

[Laughs]

You have to grow up
and be successful, soon.

Before we go bankrupt.

Hey!

[Laughs]

Water is used for drinking,

not for splashing
on someone's face.

Hey!

[Coughs]

Bend down.
Nitin, give me the ball.

'Faster...'

'Catch it! Very good.'

A little lower, bend a little bit.

'Focus on the ball,
keep an eye on the ball'

Receive it, don't pert.'

'You are repeating
the same mistake.'

'Never take your eyes off the ball.
Eyes on the ball.'

Come.

'Open your palms, okay? Like this.'

'A more spring like action, okay?'

[Signing]

I'm not making a stupid excuse.

Once I show you,
what I've brought for you,

you'll get down on your knees
and ask for forgiveness, brother.

If you gesticulate so fast,
how will I get it?

[Signing]

But I'm sure, you'll definitely
understand this, okay? Bye.

Kapil, move aside.

He just stands in one place and
thinks that's his home, buffalo!

Don't forget the tips I gave
you on the inswinger delivery.

And finally,

don't forget the 3 rules
while bowling the inswinger.

You always nod your head
but keep forgetting them.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

That's all,
we wrap up for the day.

[Laughs]

How was the yield, this year?

It was good, but the electric
supply was a matter of a concern.

Aunt!

Hello, aunt!
- God bless you, dear.

Aunt, didn't Ibbi come along?

No dear, his exams are going on.

That's Kapil,

Kumble,

Harbhajan, Balaji.
- That's right.

And who is he?

He is our new player, Irfan.

These buffaloes must be totally
surprised themselves,

to have male names,
though they're females.

Let's go.

[Gasps]

Mom, look at this!

[Signing]

He will accept the gifts only
when he can give you something.

Like dad, like son.

Please lets us be
of some help to you.

By the grace of Allah,
we are financially well off.

To tell you the truth,

Abdul had advised me to
give some money to you.

You may return it later.

You know very well, I don't
mind borrowing money from you.

But, Anwar will never
agree to take it.

Today, dad is going to give us a
long lecture, comparing us to Ibbi.

Ibbi is so intelligent...
He is so studious...'

Why can't you be like him?
He is such a learned boy etc...'

Ibbi is a very intelligent boy,
he always tops in his class.

I want him to become an engineer.

I hope you know, I'm not
trying to compete with you.

I know that...

My son, Iqbal, dreams very big.

I'm sure he will
make a name for himself.

Iqbal is too young
to work in the fields.

But, he is old enough to have an
adult's appetite and sleep all day.

Stop it!

He understands everything.

Are you getting it, Iqbal?

Look son, you still
have some time to think.

You can't be loitering
around with the buffaloes

and dreaming all your life,
can you?

Take Ibbi for instance,
he is so intelligent.

He is trying to make
something of his life.

I know, you aren't capable
of doing all that, but...

But, I've never taught you to
underestimate yourself, my child.

Khadija!

If you learn to work in the fields,
you'll earn a living

and render your services
towards the nation.

All right, both of you,
please listen.

He is requesting
me to give him some time.

So, I grant him a year.

After which, he will work in
the fields along with me, okay?

[Coughs]

[Humming]

I was looking for a chance
to give it to you since afternoon.

Let go of me, Iqbal.
I need to complete my homework.

It was my fault, I should have
let him continue his studies.

If you had enough money, you
would've surely sent him to a

special school at Mumbai.

Yes, if not anything, he could've
at least made a few friends there.

All his childhood
friends have moved on in life.

Poor Iqbal,
has been left all alone.

Even so, my son happy.

Anwar, don't worry so much.

You'll see, he will reach his goal,
all by himself.

[Crowd cheering]

Are you the best?

[Signing]

What is he asking you?

He is asking me,
why I did this.

I replied, 'Will you play for the
Indian team when I grow old?'

I also told him, I've got
a backache sitting here, daily.

How long has this been going on?

Coach, I've been coming
here for the last 6 months,

but Iqbal has been coming here
every day, for the last 2 years.

He doesn't speak at all
and you can't stop speaking.

Coach, he is deaf and dumb.

If you talk slowly, he'll read your
lips and understand everything.

Your sister says,
you are the world's best player

and no one in my academy
can ever beat you.

My brother's bowling skills are
better than his talking skills.

By this, I don't mean he is
capable of speaking, but...

Let's go, Iqbal.

The buffaloes won't go anywhere,
let's go.

Ajit.

Let's see,
if you are wasting my time.

Sir, just give me a minute.

[Signing]

What did you tell him?

I just asked him to play
the way he usually does.

He usually sees buffaloes
around him, when he plays.

I just told him, he should imagine
he is surrounded by buffaloes.

He is a wonderful player,
he is really good.

Tomorrow evening at 5pm.

Now, we shall follow your dreams.

Your dad will never
give permission for this.

We don't have any other option.

You are right,
we can't lie to your dad.

All right, we won't
talk to him about it.

[Laughs]

Iqbal is milking the buffalo,

dad will get suspicious.

You don't have to worry
about it, old granny.

We might just mess it up.

What's happening here?

What's the matter?

I know, I'm usually absent-minded,
but I'm not a fool either.

Your beloved son is
milking the buffalo.

He does that everyday.

You mean, he does it
so early in the morning?

Since you've
given him a year's time,

he wants to please you.

No, I don't believe you,
I'm sure, something is fishy.

How long can you conceal the truth?

Sooner or later,
the truth will be revealed.

C'mon, hurry up,
you'll be late for school.

All right, I'll see to it that
he wakes up late, tomorrow. Okay?

This is Iqbal and
that's his sister, Khadija.

Iqbal's case is a little special,
he is deaf and dumb.

I want all of you
to keep this in mind.

He is a bowler.
Ajit, he will be in your group.

It's different, when someone stands
between you and the wicket. Right?

Your bowling has enough pace,
but unless you it as a weapon,

be it ball or a 'Laddoo',

it won't make a difference.

Sorry coach, in a hurry,
I replaced pace with face.

I told him, he should
use his face as a weapon

and then bowl the 'Laddoo'.

Can you speak a little slowly?

Tell him,
being talented is not enough.

A diamond shines
only after it is polished.

There you go!

Finally, my darling son
is his usual self once again.

God knows, when he will grow up
and not laze around all day.

"Hopes..."

"Hopes..."

"The wish to touch your dreams"

"Some special aspirations"

"Hopes..."

The elbow and the knee
should be in the same axis.

"Every attempt should have the
strength to swim against the tide"

Focus your eyes there.

"Brave all the storms"

"Dash towards your destination"

"Let all your aspirations bloom"

"May all your heart's
desires reach fruition"

"Nothing seems impossible now"

"Let all your aspirations bloom"

"May all your heart's
desires reach fruition"

"Nothing seems impossible now"

[Snoring]

Close your eyes.

This time, I have nothing
for you, my love.

That's okay.

Go and keep an eye on your dad.

We don't need to do so.

His snores can be heard in the
adjacent villages as well.

If you wish to learn bowling,

you should first learn
to grip the ball.

So, for the entire next week, we
shall concentrate on this subject.

Kamal, it looks like you
have an interest in bare feet.

Okay, take two rounds
of the ground, barefoot.

C'mon now, hurry up.

Iqbal, come here.

In swinger.

Come soon, hurry up!

Khadija, what are you waiting for?
Go and help your dad with his bag.

[Music]

"As your heart soars with
happiness, you take flight"

"You will soon be in paradise and
all your wishes will be fulfilled"

"Let all your aspirations bloom"

"May all your heart's
desires reach fruition"

"Nothing seems impossible now"

"Let all your aspirations bloom"

"May all your heart's
desires reach fruition"

"Nothing seems impossible now"

Catch it!

Hey, you deaf fool, you dumb idiot,

you deaf and dumb rascal!

Why don't you and your stupid
sister get out of this academy?

Firstly, you are
forgetting that I am not deaf

and if you speak so slowly,
Iqbal will also read your lips.

You are such a fool.

What did he say?

You idiot!
Why didn't you wear a helmet?

You were trying to show off,
weren't you?

You'll never learn.

Hello, Akash!

Hello, coach!

Well...

Khadija, Iqbal and you please
go and wait for me in the office.

I know very well,
it wasn't an accident.

I also know that
Kamal was making fun of you.

Yes, he was mocking Khadija also.

But I've repeatedly warned you,
to control your temper.

It is only Kamal, who doesn't
get along well with Iqbal.

Before you came here,
Kamal was the star of the academy.

Nothing can be done, now.

No coach,
you can't do this to him.

All his life, he has waited for
this opportunity, his dreams...

I am helpless, dear. I have
to consider other things, too.

We can't offend Kamal's father,

it's imperative for this academy.

I've already done everything
that was in my power.

No, my son, don't plead.

Please, go away.

"You should chase your dreams
at the speed of lightning"

"No obstacle in the world
can stop you"

"You must reach the pinnacle"

"Even the mighty mountains
will look up to you"

"Let all your aspirations bloom"

"May all your heart's
desires reach fruition"

[Crying]

What's wrong?
- "Nothing seems impossible now"

"Let all your aspirations bloom"

"May all your heart's
desires reach fruition"

"Nothing seems impossible now"

"Hopes..."

"Hopes..."

"Hopes..."

[Sobbing]

What happened?

What is it?

No, that's not me.
No way, that's not me.

Okay, it's me.

This photograph is very old...

Almost a century old.

You want me to...

I...

What do you mean by that?
I don't get it at all.

I don't understand a word of
what you are trying to say.

[Laughs]

C'mon, are you out of your wits?

You want me to
teach you how to bowl?

No, my child,
this is impossible.

What will you do
if you learn to bowl?

Do you want to become like me?

No, this is impossible.

I said, no!

Get out of here!

Don't give up
on your dreams, my child.

C'mon, how long will you
continue doing this?

Look, I'm going to
drink and sleep all my life.

Why are you wasting these
precious moments of your life?

Oh God, what a bother he is!

Please ask him
not to waste his time...

Darn it!

[Chuckles]

Unless I give up,
you won't listen.

Okay...

Tomorrow onwards,
I'll teach you, how to bowl...

From tomorrow...

Yes, you may go, now.

What is it?

[Signing]

Mom!

'I'm coming.'

Mom, please come here quickly.

What's the matter?

I think the trauma is
taking a toll on Iqbal.

Don't talk nonsense!

I'm not, he says, he has
managed to find a new coach.

Really?

Mr. Mohit!

Mr. Mohit!

[Sneezing]

Mr. Mohit!

Before it was my father
and now it is you.

Why are you after my life?

Why are you doing me this favour?
[Groans]

Yes, go for it!
Give me the medicines as well.

Thank you very much.

If you have any medicine to get
rid of this pain, do give it to me.

You won't give up,
you stubborn fellow.

I lied to you.

I lied to you.

I had no intention of
coming back and coaching you.

I've confessed my crime,

irrespective of whether Iqbal
heard it or not.

Fine leg was up, he spotted it.'

Rs 2.35, sir.
- See you later.

Okay.

'And he is out!'

'Tight bowling by Balaji.'

All of you are bad actors,
go inside and watch the match.

Iqbal!

Iqbal, you've come so late.

If you had arrived a little later,
I would've uncorked my bottle.

Nowadays,
my will power has improved...

[Laughs]

That's okay, you
don't need to be too excited.

I'm not sure,
if I can do it.

Nevertheless,
let's give it a try.

If it clicks, well and good.

If not, both of us part ways.

That's okay.

But, how will you understand,
what I say?

C'mon, arrange the wickets.

Oh no!

We are starting on a wrong note.

[Sniffs]

Not bad.
20 years have passed by.

But time hasn't succeeded in
weakening the power of my muscles.

Darn it!

I think a drink would
help me perform better.

Just one drink.

I just need one drink.

I'm just asking for one drink,
not the entire bottle.

Am I coaching you
or are you coaching me?

Why do I need to bowl?
Am I out of my wits?

I'll just give you a few tips.
Eventually, you'll have to bowl.

After all, I'm your coach.

Yes.

Just one drink, please.

Wow! It feels so good.
That's a wrap for the day.

Enough for the day.

I knew, you were going to say this.

Firstly, we need to think of a way
to communicate with each other.

If dad finds out I've bunked
school and I'm sitting here,

he will kill me!

Okay, tell me, what's the matter?

I'll teach him as much as I know.

Besides, it's been a long time...

I've been drinking heavily...

Did you call me here to lecture me
or is it something important?

You don't like me at all, do you?

I don't want to see my brother
being disheartened, yet again.

Anyway, all this is not
going to last too, long.

You'll get back to drinking again.

I said the same to him,
but he wouldn't budge.

But, as long as we are trapped in
this game, please do me a favour

and pretend to tolerate me,
it'll make life easier.

God says, consumption
of alcohol is a sin.

God says a lot of things.

I keep drinking all day,
so that I can ignore his sayings.

Now, if you're done counting my
sins, may we begin our task?

A small drink would help
my brain to function better.

May I have a drink?

I've found a way out.
C'mon, let's go.

Iqbal, do you really trust him?

'Mr. Mohit, may we come in?'

Oh, that's wonderful!

Here you go.

This seems to be the
coach's time-table.

Yes, I know that...

So, was this your marvellous plan?

I think Iqbal is already
aware of this time-table.

[Signing]

What is he saying?

Iqbal says, if he needs to
become fit, the same goes for you.

[Laughs]

Don't push your luck too much.

[Signing]

What did he say?

He said, we shall see you,
tomorrow morning.

You can keep dreaming.

He was joking, wasn't he?

Hey!

What time is it?
Why are you after my life?

'Did the messenger of death
sent you here?'

'Or was it my dead father?'

'After all these years, are we
still at loggerheads, father?'

"Life asks me,
what I want to make of my life"

"These roads ask me,
where I am headed"

"I etch the story of my
dreams on the clouds"

"I have the skill to
excel in all that I do"

[Music]

Darn it!

We don't even have a month's time.

"Victory at all costs,
that is what I aspire to"

"Victory at all costs,
that is what I aspire to"

"I achieve all the goals
I aspire to"

"The whole world is in my control"

[Music]

[Laughs]

No, not like this. Come here.

Look, anger...

Bowling doesn't mean...

If I talk in sign language,
I'll forget everything, I know.

Khadija!

Just a moment, Iqbal.

Bowling doesn't mean,

you try to rip out the stumps
on every delivery.

Don't try to rip out
the stumps on every delivery...

There will be someone,
who will stop you.

This is a mind game,
played with a lot of passion.

'A mind game,
played with a lot of passion!'

Just explain what I'm
trying to convey.

How does a batsman strike the ball?

Because he knows
what you're about to do.

He has read your mind.

He is able to peep into your mind

and guess correctly
about your next delivery.

What if, you yourself don't know
what you're going to bowl next?

Does he want to know,
how he will do it?

He will do it with
the help of his heart.

With the help of his heart.

No one in the world
can teach you this.

Don't pre-decide,
what you are going to bowl, next.

Don't do that ever, okay?

Don't take a decision, just look
at the batsman carefully!

Read his mind.
Just observe his posture and then

just at the last moment,

when you are about
to release the ball,

ask yourself, what delivery
you are going to bowl.

It should be too late for the
batsman to read your mind.

[Signing]

It means, you want the batsmen
to do exactly what you want.

Correct!

[Signing]

He says, this is very difficult.
- Yes, it is difficult...

But it isn't impossible.

I can teach you
some minor tricks

but eventually,
you'll have to create magic.

Come on, now.

Mr. Mohit, why did you point at your
head and say heart and vice-versa?

When the mind and heart work in
tandem, one can't differentiate

between the two.

This is what your brother
needs to understand.

So, this is Kapil Dev...

Kumble...
- Yes.

Harbhajan...

Balaji.
- Right.

And this is...

This is our most
favourite player, Irfan.

Why only bowlers?

Iqbal says,
the batsmen get all the credit,

while the bowlers don't get
the recognition they deserve.

[Laughs]

Now, please explain him
that he has to force me

to hit the ball at the fielders,
(buffaloes) who have been selected.

Khadija, will you please take
the trouble to show the numbers?

Thank you very much.

Khadija will show you a
few numbers randomly, from there.

You can see them, I can't.

I'll look back for the numbers,
only after I hit the ball.

Number 3.

Iqbal!

Number 1.

Good bowling.

Very good.

Iqbal!

[Laughs]

When did he hurt himself?

This is not done.

That's nothing.

What's that?

Once upon a time, I used to
call it as 'Mohit's special'.

An entrapment.

This is...

When a batsman, hits the ball...

Not at the place,
where a fielder is present,

but at a place, where the fielder
is not present at that time.

But he reaches the spot at the
right time, to take the catch.

The past always haunts us.

[Knock on door]

[Knock on door]

Hello, I am Mohit...

Iqbal and me...
Cricket coaching...

I'm sorry, I can't let you in.
- That's okay.

The mere mention of cricket,
infuriates Iqbal's dad.

Yes, I know that,
please spare me a minute.

Tomorrow, is Iqbal's birthday.
Please give this to him.

It's a pair of shoes.
Don't tell him, it's a gift from me.

He might not accept it.

But how can I...

Without these shoes, he won't be
allowed to step into the ground.

I thank you on his behalf.

Listen, see to it,
his hopes aren't shattered.

I'll try my best.

If that happens, I'll kill you.

It seems, the women of
this house are very dangerous.

Please don't worry, your
daughter has already warned me.

I'll try my best.
I'll take your leave.

He says,
'No one can stop me, now.'

Now, I've started to
understand his language a little.

By the time, you fathom
his language completely,

it'll be time for you to bid adieu.

What do you mean,
'it'll be time to bid adieu'?

I'm not going anywhere.

How long?

What harm have I caused you?

Can I ever win an
argument with you?

Only if Iqbal gets selected
for the Indian cricket team.

And until then?

Until then, I'll always
be suspicious about you.

This is for you.

Iqbal said, you are very
fond of reading books.

Stop pleasing me, it won't help!

I am certainly
less suspicious of you now.

Tomorrow, I'll be going to
Farida's place with the children.

Remember, her useless husband
shouldn't try to brainwash my kids.

He lazes around
instead of working for the nation.

I'll make sure, he keeps away
from our children.

Please wait here,
I'll be right back.

Hello, coach!

Hey, Mohit...

That means, I've heard it right,
you are training Iqbal.

Good luck.
- Thank you.

By the way, you don't really
require any luck.

[Chuckles]

Yes, we do have a few talented
boys in our academy.

I'm sure, you do.

It's good to see you like this.

Mr. Mitra! Excuse me, sir!

I know, this is a weird request,

but I have brought
a boy along with me,

who I think is capable
of playing in this team.

Which district does he represent?

He has never
played for any district.

Which league team
has he played for?

He has never played for any team.

You mean, he has
never played for any team?

He hasn't played for any team.

Look, if we test
all roadside talents,

the selection procedure
will take months.

I'm just asking you to spare
us a few minutes, please.

This is impossible, sir.

Only 10 minutes,
during the lunch break, please!

I hope, I'll make it, dad.

I'm sure, you'll make it.

Hello, you dumb fellow!

Just focus on your game, right?

What happened?

We have been granted 5 minutes.
- Only 5 minutes?

During the lunch break.

Will 5 minutes be enough?
- It is more than enough.

Does your Allah,
listen to your prayers?

Yes, always.

Then, pray to him.

My Lord has been miffed with me
for a long time.

Mr. Mohit, I know,
why you went to the washroom.

But, I can understand,
I'm very tense, myself. - Exactly!

Thank you.

'Wicket keeper,
take 2 steps backward.'

That's it.

His pace is very good.

Bowls good bouncers, too.

Can he bowl like this continuously?

All day long.

He has got good pace,
but how good is his aim?

Just a minute.

The first day I saw him play,
I was sure...

I must thank you.
- It is his hard work.

How did you like
Iqbal's performance?

Look, your student
is a very good player.

But, you can't
have him in the team.

I'm sorry,
there is no place in the team.

Bye, Sunil!

Bye, sir!

Look, I can't give you a reason...

That's not required.

Sir, just a minute.

There is a vacancy
in the Andhra team.

If you want, I can arrange
place for Iqbal in that team.

I agree, it is a weak team
in the Ranji league,

nevertheless, it is a Ranji team.

Thank you very much.

Sir, I was a big fan of yours.

Mr. Mohit!

Thank you!

[Sighs]

There is no need to
kill me now, is there?

Your job isn't over yet.
When will my son play for India?

[Laughs]

I can never win an argument
with the women of this family.

There you are!
Please, come in.

Today, I clinched a superb deal
in the market.

This year is going to be
fruitful for us.

With whom?

It's a new company, they want
to buy corn directly from us.

There won't be
any middlemen involved.

How is Farida?

She is fine,
her folks were saying...

How can you be so shameless as to
lie to me with a straight face?

Bipin spotted all of you
boarding the bus for Mahipur.

The selection for the state
cricket team was being held there.

We went there.

I should have guessed it.

Iqbal, come here.
Come here, I say!

Tomorrow onwards,
you'll work with me in the fields.

You won't?

He says, he won't.

I can't afford to appoint
labourers to work in the fields.

In order to feed all of you,
I was forced to sell off my land

and you...

Listen, please try to understand.

Have you gone crazy?

He has been selected
to play in the Ranji team.

This is the first time that without
playing a single match... - Enough!

Come here.

Give it to me.

Look,

I've promised your mother,
so I won't raise my hand on you.

But, don't you try
to test my patience.

Give it to me.

Listen...

Iqbal! Wake up, Iqbal.

Iqbal, hasn't come for the
last 2 days. Is he unwell?

For God's sake,
please don't come here, Mr. Mohit.

If my husband finds you here,
he will kill you.

Okay, so the men, too!

And I thought, only the women of
this house were dangerous for me!

Iqbal's father has
come to know everything.

His father takes him to
work in the fields, now.

Perhaps, God didn't
approve of what was happening.

I don't approve of
what's happening presently.

[Sighs]

[Bottle smashing]

Mr. Anwar! I've come to meet you.

I am Mohit.

So, you are that
cricket champion...

Also the biggest
drunkard in this village.

I was..

Believe it or not,
that's the truth.

Look, we have just
offered our prayers,

don't bother us with
your impure attitude.

Mr. Anwar, I'm not shameless enough
to come here drunk, at this hour.

Please spare a few minutes to
talk about Iqbal. It's important.

Look, I apologize to
you for my misbehaviour.

The mere mention of the word
'Cricket', makes my blood boil.

But why? It is just a sport.

You're wrong, if that was so, why
does it paralyse the entire nation?

We incur huge losses during
these matches. All work stops.

I agree, but it
unites the nation...

Bringing in fame,
uniting the nation, my foot!

A few players become millionaires,
if that's not enough,

they deceive the public,
who spend money to watch them play.

Tell me something...

Is there a single
job in the world,

wherein some people
haven't been dishonest?

It would've been better if
this prize amount was distributed

amongst farmers like us
or to scientists.

Cricketers are as hard working
as the farmers, Mr. Anwar.

Your son was chosen in the Ranji
squad without having played a

single match. This has
never ever happened before.

You still doubt his capabilities?

Look,

I can see his future clearly.

A future, which is financially
secure and dignified as well.

He will become a farmer,
that's it.

Listen...

It is my firm belief that

all of us have been sent to
this world, to do a special task.

Most people grapple with
life aimlessly, not knowing

what they want to do in life.

Just a few lucky ones
achieve this priceless goal.

And some of us are foolish enough,

to let this opportunity go in vain.

Your son was born to play cricket.

Cricket is not
just a game for him,

playing cricket
adds meaning to his life.

It shows him how to
make life worth living.

Will you grab all this away
from him and from me?

I can't risk my son's life
for your satisfaction.

See you.

You are committing a sin,
I hope you know that.

You are ruining your
son's future, yourself.

Let's go,
do you want to play cricket?

I won't let you give up, so soon.
That's my job.

Listen, I have a plan.

Listen, I have a plan.

[Music]

"I wish, I can surge ahead to
achieve my dreams, every night"

"Hopes..."

"Grab some fire from the sun"

"Sing your own song"

"Hopes..."

"Do something in your life"

"which will bring a smile
to the Almighty's face"

"Let all your aspirations bloom"

"May all your heart's
desires reach fruition"

"Nothing seems impossible now"

"Let all your aspirations bloom"

"May all your heart's
desires reach fruition"

"Nothing seems impossible now"

[Music]

"Hopes..."

"Hopes..."

[Music]

All right, tell me where he is.

This fragrance is
out of this world, isn't it?

'This week we have had
a fantastic practice session.'

So boys, let's go
out there and do our best.

Yes!

C'mon,
I need that energy going.

The team is,

Narsimha, Dheer, Vivek,

David,

Venkat,

Iqbal, Mohammad...

Ayyub, Shreedhar...

[Music]

"We are crazy"

"We are carefree"

"We will play all the way"

To our first win, this year
and to the man of the match,

who brought about the turning
point of this match.

3 cheers for Iqbal!

Hip hip hurray!...

Hip hip hurray!...

"We shall play in the playground"

"We shall face
all the tribulations"

"Since our hearts haven't given up"

"Since our hearts haven't given up"

"We shall win the game,
come what may!"

"Since our hearts haven't given up"

This time around, the Andhra
team's success is astonishing.

The debutante player, Iqbal Khan
has maintained an average of

8 wickets in every match.

That's it? Darned fools!

I'm sorry mom, but they've
written just 3 lines about Iqbal.

[Knock on door]

[Chuckles]

Mom, Mr. Mohit is here.

Hello!
- Hello!

How is Iqbal doing?

He is absolutely fine.

Please, take a seat.

He wants you to come
and see him play.

God willing,
we shall definitely go.

He is very happy.

And...

He misses you and Khadija
and his dad.

I miss him, too.

He wants to come home but...

Only after his father
permits him to come home.

Like father, like son.

This is for you...

He wants that....

At least, he can be in
touch with you through me.

"Shine brightly like the sun"

"And spread like magic"

"Bloom like the destiny"

"And spread like happiness"

"Just as the waterfall
gushes down the mountains"

"Break through all the
barriers of your life"

We have won today's match, too.

Iqbal says,
he has taken 6 wickets.

"We shall win the game,
come what may!"

His father is fine.

[Music]

'Mom, I need you here.'

Tomorrow is the final match.'

I'll try to be there, my son.

'No way, you'll have to be here.'

I know you didn't say this,
I just said it, anyway.

I hope, I haven't overdone it.

Please, try to come here.

May I ask you,
where you are off to?

Please don't go today, Saida.
For God's sake, don't go, today.

The bank has seized the remaining
portion of our land, too.

We are ruined!

Yet, I'll have to go there
and support my son.

Don't you want to support me?

Anwar,
why did this situation arise?

What crime has he committed,

that I have to make a choice
between the two of you?

I thought, someday you
would understand your son.

Anwar, he lives to
make his dream come true.

That's enough!

Ever since Iqbal was born,
I've been hearing this.

You can't earn a living
by dreaming all day.

His dreams won't
bring back our land.

All that he has imbibed from you is

an insane fondness for this game
and an all consuming obsession.

And his dedication
has been inspired by you.

Why don't you realize this?

I could never imagine, this
stupid game would ruin our lives.

It was never about the game, Anwar.

I have always done everything
for his well-being.

You know, that this isn't true.

I did it for his future.

You've fulfilled your
responsibility as a father.

But, you have always held him
responsible for your predicaments.

This is not the truth.

He is not to be blamed
for the 3 years of draught.

You didn't sell your land
because of him.

He is not to be blamed for the
wrong business decisions you took.

But, he is indeed the reason
behind all our happiness.

I expected him to
change my fortunes, Saida.

I expected him to
bring me out of this

insignificant and miserable life.

That's exactly,
what he is going to do.

You haven't
understood him well, yet.

What have I done, Saida?

Please forgive me.

Please forgive me.

It is someone else,
you need to apologize to.

Thanks for coming, coach.

Mohit, your student
is simply wonderful.

It takes a century
to find such a player.

We will win
this year's Ranji trophy.

Quite possible.
So, why did you call me here?

I've heard that...

Some of the selectors
of the Indian team

will be coming to watch the finals?

Possibly. So, what's the
deal you're going to offer?

Nothing...

I called you here,
to say that to you.

Let these kids play their game.

Let this game be decided
on the playground itself.

Mohit, don't be so naive.

You know well, business and deals
are an integral part of this game.

Even the best players
of this country

are at the top
because of these dealings.

People like me and now,
you too, do such dealings,

so that, the best team is formed.

Is that why you
traded my position, too?

Mohit, you were my best student.

But, many a times,
that's not enough.

If you would have stayed back
with me, I would have surely got

you selected in the Indian team
at some point of time.

Provided, some other rich brat
wouldn't come to you.

I'm not disheartened
because I wasn't selected.

The thing that
shattered me was that...

When I was helpless and dejected,
not even once did you

come and console me.

One day, you were my friend,
my teacher,

and a Godly figure to me.

And the next day,
I was nothing more than

a name in your academy's register.

I just want to make great players,
that's all.

Mark my words, Iqbal will not
suffer the same fate as I did.

At present, the Indian team is in
need of a batsman and not a bowler.

And Kamal is the
perfect choice for that.

You may try your best, sir.

But unlike me, this boy won't give
up and disappear into oblivion.

Iqbal is destined
to wear the Blue uniform.

You and your corrupt business deals
can't stop him from getting it.

In that case,
I wish him good luck.

For a long time, I was
yearning to tell you something.

To you, to my father

and to all those who have
wished for my well-being,

Go to hell!

Just one more match,
let's make history, boys!

Yes!

Let's go, come on, move.
- [Clapping]

I'm sorry, I couldn't make
arrangements for your hotel stay.

It isn't possible for Iqbal
to leave the ground.

That's absolutely fine.

Iqbal, we will have
to leave for home, now.

We wanted to watch you play,
but we can't help it.

We will have to leave.

Is there a financial problem?

If it is so, then...

No, that won't be required.

I have gathered the strength
to fight back, again!

Don't worry, my child.
We will follow your matches on TV.

Every day.

I am learning some
batting skills also.

I'll work hard
and give it my best.

'Do you think,'

'your bowling strength
will help you win the match?'

'What do you make of the pitch?'

'Will it be helpful for the
spinners or the fast bowlers?'

'Mr. Mohit, what do you think,'

'will Iqbal be able to
handle this pressure?'

[Clapping]

Excuse me, autograph please!

Wow, this is your first autograph.

Thank you.

You'll have enough
time for all this.

Hello!
- Hello!

I am Satish Bhataodekar
from media partners.

We represent the most talented
players of our country.

You name any big player, I'm
sure we have a contract with him.

Actually, we understand,
in fact we firmly believe that

we can make the dreams of talented
players like you, come true.

If you believe in your dreams,

the whole world will come together,
to make your dreams come true.

Our research is very extensive.

We've been following you,
since the first time you

stepped on to a cricket field.

We will get the best deal for you.

Be it TV, public appearance,

advertisement
and perhaps films also.

And along with all this,
a fabulous signing bonus.

You will be delighted
to be with us.

So, what do you think?

By the way, he is deaf and dumb.

Are you kidding me?

Oh wow! Really?

By the way, your research is really
very extensive, I must say.

I'll take your leave now.
- Sure...

Please don't come back.

This is just the beginning.
You'll see, how these vultures

will swoon down on you.

Yes, I am there with you,
but not forever.

As I said, I can't be with you,
all your life.

He is such a stubborn fellow!

Okay!

Yes, but no one knows,
who the selector is.

You...

Once you're done with your
practice, meet me at the hotel.

In the first innings itself,
they've got a lead of 114 runs.

We have 2 more days to go.

We will have to make 400 runs
by tomorrow evening.

Thereafter, we will have
one day left to bowl them out

within 300 runs.

So, let's go for it
and give it your best shot.

In NPN's exclusive program today,

we have Iqbal's parents
and his younger sister with us.

Mr. Khan, how do you feel being
the father of such a talented son?

My brother is the
world's best cricketer.

It is all by the grace of God.

'I firmly believe that all of us
have been sent in this world'

'to do a special job.'

What!

'Iqbal, my son,
was born to play cricket.'

C'mon, these were my words.

'Playing cricket,
makes his life worth living.'

'It adds meaning to his life.'

He is repeating my words.

Hello, Iqbal!

May I talk to you for a minute?

You can read my lips, can't you?

Can't we take a seat?

Okay, as you wish.

I'm sorry, you were
forced to leave my academy.

But as you know, I had no
other option, at that time.

The problem is, at present
the Indian team needs a batsman

not a bowler.

And that batsman is Kamal.

Hey listen, tomorrow,
when your team plays,

you won't bowl well.

Especially, when
Kamal is at strike.

Because of Kamal's superb batting
performance, his team will win.

Now, you may ask,
what you'll get out of it.

Today,
I'm negotiating a deal for Kamal,

Tomorrow, I'll do it for you.

You'll surely play in the
Indian team, but not this year.

It is a fair deal.
And in order to prove it,

here is a cheque
of Rs 2.5 million.

You can get your father's
land back with it.

By accepting this deal, not only
will you become a good player,

you'll also prove to be a good son.

If you refuse to accept this,
and I hate this part.

But, if you do refuse to
accept this deal, trust me,

I'll make sure, you'll never
play in the Indian team.

Not today,
tomorrow, or ever again.

And if you think,
I'm not that influential,

you are making a foolish mistake.

Do I take your silence
as your acceptance?

'You'll have money as well as
your father's happiness.'

'Also a chance to play
in the Indian team, next year.'

'Only a fool can
let this opportunity go by.'

Why is he constantly bowling
full length deliveries?

Well played!

[Signing]

Well done.

You are going off track
from your game plan.

You are allowing the batsman
to peep into your mind.

That's the way.

Didn't I tell you, this is a mind
game played with a lot of passion?

I know, what's happening.

Yes, I know it!

Look, do you
believe in your dreams?

The entire world will come
together to make them come true.

I don't know, what it means.
I didn't get it.

Someone had mentioned earlier,
so I thought, if I say it to you,

it will cheer you up.

This indeed is
the job of a coach.

They just lecture on
stupid topics, so as to

boost the
confidence of his players.

You want to know,
who told me all this?

Don't you remember that agent,
who came in the other day?

He introduced himself as,
'I'm Satish Bhataodekar.'

The one who said, 'Hello,
I'm Satish Bhataodekar.'

After a weak start in the morning,
Iqbal Khan has regained his power.

In the post lunch session of this
breath taking game,

he clinched 5 wickets and turned
the match in his teams favour.

He brought team Andhra
back in the match.

The drinks break is on,

The match is poised for
a nail biting finish.

Will they give away 18 runs or
will they clinch the last wicket?

One more wicket and Andhra will win
the Ranji trophy for the 1st time.

What's the matter? - Actually,
I was looking to play...

But, who is going to
listen to your excuses?

You've got to focus,
don't lose your concentration,

just play straight, okay?
And don't lose your wickets.

I'll be right back.

Are you looking for someone?

I have no idea,
what's going on in your mind.

But, don't forget,

your father and your future are,

are hanging on the edge.

Don't make a hasty decision, okay?

Let Kamal complete his century
and win this match for his team.

Good luck!

Go backwards
and be alert guys, okay?

You've done your job. Now, it is
the turn of the spinners to bowl.

Iqbal, this is not a
'Gully cricket'.

There is certain strategy
that needs to be followed.

Kamal is easily
smashing your bowling.

He doesn't play spin bowling well.

The ball is worn out now,
so Doshi will bowl.

What are both of them up to?

Oh God, what do I do with him?

I must be crazy.

Doshi!

If you mess it up,
both of us will land in trouble.

Impossible!

This boy is a complete genius!

What?

The entrapment.

Catch it!

C'mon, catch it!

Yes!

Iqbal!

Well done!

Well done, my boy!

It is a mind game, played with a
lot of passion and not with pride.

It is very sad,
the selectors didn't show up.

Even after clinching 12 wickets
in the match and winning it,

if you aren't selected in the
Indian playing squad,

I can't think of another way.

[Signing]
- [Chuckles]

You treacherous...

What's the matter? - Mohit,
this is between Iqbal and me.

It was a deal between us.

It is very touching...

A student consoling his teacher.

You've made a huge mistake
by not listening to me.

Let me see, who gives you a
chance to play in the Indian team.

All your life,

you and your drunkard teacher

will play cricket in the farms.

Also, as far as the
farm land is concerned,

I'll ruin your father's life.

'Hey Iqbal, why aren't you
celebrating with your team?'

Hey coach,

it's been very long since we have
had a contract with, your players.

Hello sir, how are you?

Hello.

It took me an eternity to
complete all this paper work.

All you need to do is sign here.

Just as I had said, your first
cheque will be given to you,

by our company.

And after this cheque,
we have gone broke.

[Laughs]

I know, it is a bad joke.

[Laughs]

A cheque of Rs 5 million!

[Laughs]

[Kapil Dev] 'I hope,
I'm not disturbing you.'

Hello coach!

Hello, Kapil!

Hi! I wanted to meet
the 'Kollipad express'.

Only a bowler himself, can realize
the value of another bowler.

I am extremely glad
to meet you, Kapil.

Are you Iqbal's father?

No, I'm just his mentor.

I've heard, he has named
his buffalo after me?

[Laughs]

Iqbal says, he has named his
favourite buffalo after you.

Doesn't matter, at least,
it will remind you about me.

Kapil, we had no idea,
you're coming here.

You've missed a wonderful match.

No, I did watch it,
Iqbal bowled very well.

Yes, it was a good performance.

May we go for dinner?

Good luck!

Did you watch Kamal's performance?

He was back in form
at the right time.

Excuse me sir,
I'll take your leave.

Iqbal, your chance to play in the
Indian team is about to be lost.

No problem, we shall
try again, next year...

Tell him, right now the Indian
team, needs a bowler like him.

But...

Good luck.

[Signing]
