For this is my body and blood.

All of you, partake of this.

[in unison] Yeahhh man!

-So, boys... -Yes.

As our Plus Two results are out today,

once we check them,

whether we pass or fail,

we're getting drunk...

happily, okay?

-Okay. -Alright, Shanu, you may begin.

-Valuth (Biggie), you go. -Shifas Ahmed.

6 5 0 1 1 3

-Failed. -Ah, okay.

-So... -Happy?

-Drink up. -Cheers!

-Cheruth (Little), you next. -Shifas Ali.

6 8 0...

Hmm... 1 1 8.

Cheers!

David John.

6 8 0 1 1 1.

Eh?

Failed?

Cheers.

-Jojo Johnson. -Jojo... Johnson...

Roll number... 6 5 0...

-You know it? -1 1 5.

What's it?

-Mm... -Check once more.

Shut up and drink.

Drink up, man.

-So... -Cheers.

Cheers!

-Shall I check? -Yes, don't waste time.

Once we know that too, we can drink peacefully.

I...

am not gonna drink today.

-What happened? -Why not?

Why won't you drink?

We had decided we'd drink whether we pass or fail, no?

I passed.

I'll go home and come.

My parents would've reached.

They won't like it if I go home drunk.

I'll come to your house in the evening.

-For what joy? -To drink.

-Okay, then. -Hey, put your share and go.

You give and put it on the tab.

Whose tab?

Yours.

What kinda mindset is that, huh?

He said we'll drink together happily, whether we pass or fail.

If he keeps this up, Shanu is gonna get it good.

He definitely will!

Exactly, he'll get a good job.

He passed, no?

Huh?

And we'll sit around like this, screwed.

Dude, enough with such unnecessary talk.

Just take this...

We need to finish it, right?

But still...

where exactly did we go wrong?

Huh?

The whole education system is messed up.

You're right. Absolutely right.

It's not about education,

you need to have an international attitude.

-Correct. -Attitude...

-Understood? -Then what will we do?

How about we order one more bottle of toddy?

Got money?

Bro! Two pots of toddy!

I'm just wondering how I'll get home now.

I had challenged my mom that I'll pass Plus Two.

You come to my house.

Then where will you go?

Where can I go? I'll go to your house.

I had promised Lovely in Italy that I'd send you there if you passed Plus Two.

Sigh.

Now how will I call her and talk about you failing?

Such an embarrassment.

Jojo...

Will you ever give me some peace?

At least for a day?

Jojo!

-Jo-- -Ah...

Hi Mummy.

Sit down, shall I get you some food?

No need, Mummy.

My mom made biriyani because the results were out.

-I'm stuffed. -Did you get A+?

Yes, three of them.

-Really? -Yes.

Watch and learn!

That's how boys should be.

All this time with him, why can't you be like him?

You wait, I'll get you something.

Don't know how he's gonna pass now.

What, man? Eat!

Get out of my house, you loser!

Why? What did I do?

Get out!

Will see you in the boat tomorrow morning.

Okay.

It's Happy Birthday tomorrow, don't forget.

Mummy, I'm leaving.

He kicked me out.

Hey, wait.

Listen Jojo...

She's not even minding you, so much attitude!

That attitude is the reason for my crush.

Let me go and start my duty.

-Move. -Is that so...

Shall I also come?

For what?

When you cast a net, might as well catch two fish.

What about Avantika?

Sigh... she made me her bestie.

Shanu, you're only good for the bestie zone.

Looks like you'll be stuck there for the rest of your life.

Hold this.

Happy Birthday Jojo!

Here.

I'm doomed after the results, how am I supposed to have a happy birthday?

Open it.

I'll check it later.

No way! I'll open it.

Why are you so sad?

You should've studied when you had to.

I wrote so many bits and gave you.

None of them worked.

But it's okay.

Your time is not good.

Mmm... that's true.

Planetary trouble.

-Thanks. -Soubhagyam lottery.

-Results tomorrow! -Hey...

-Why now? -It's your birthday, right. Let's try.

I don't want a lottery, Sherin.

-No need for the lottery. -She'll pay if you've no money.

I've got enough and more money...

How much is the first prize for this lottery?

75 lakh rupees.

Hmph.

The one sitting beside me is worth a lot more than that.

You please leave now.

We've got some birthday chit-chat to do!

Don't want one.

Happy Birthday!

-Thank you! -Keep it and use it next year.

Sherin.

Look over there.

Jojo, don't let this pig have another drop of alcohol!

No way! He's done drinking with us.

Shifas

-Hey Alby! -Come here.

Hey, give him beef or whatever.

-What do you need? -I saw you stalking Maria.

Stalk?! Who, me?! I didn't stalk, okay? He's bluffing.

Why'd you ask her for a kiss?

A kiss?

Why ask her?

I get plenty at home from my mom! Don't need hers.

Listen up, Shifas!

You know me. I know you.

So, don't act too smart!

Bro, everyone knows everyone here.

-What's your problem, huh? -Did I ask you, huh?

Move, man!

-You! -I've already told him what I had to.

-He'll listen. -Alby!

Get out. It's business time.

You go out and talk.

Cheruth, I just wanted to tell them.

Hope they understood.

Alright.

See you around.

I'll see!

Her.

Don't you have anything else to do, man?

Why'd you ask her for a kiss?

I didn't ask.

-She said she'd give. -You'll ask, I know!

-DJ! -Hm?

Some guy came, threatened Valuth, said he'll beat him up and left.

Why?

Because he messaged some girl.

But why does he care?

So many guys can fish from the same pond.

Cheruth...

Didn't you give him something to take away?

Get lost! I've got work to do.

DJ, I've forgiven.

How can we just forgive like that?

He showed up here today,

might beat us up tomorrow, who knows?

DJ, we need to teach him a lesson.

He must still be somewhere around.

Cheruth.

Keep the knife away.

Which one is he?

The one wearing the yellow and black jersey.

And the one with him is Maria.

Isn't that Alby?

We went to Sunday school together.

So?

DJ, make sure they're power punches, okay?

Alby!

-What, huh? -Land, lady and gold.

Weren't we taught not to fight each other over these?

And still, you came to the shop and tried to show off.

What about him asking for a kiss?

At least, he had the decency to ask.

What you did is indecent.

If it was for asking a kiss, go ahead and hit him.

Eh?

Or no need.

You hit me.

-Hold this. -Yeah, man!

-DJ! -DJ...

Hey DJ!

-Get up, man! -Open your eyes.

-Will he open? -He's unconscious.

DJ, get up!

DJ, come on, wake up!

See? That's why I said I forgave him.

He's a State-level boxer.

-State-level boxer? -Yes.

Okay.

What's this, man?

Are you eating?

-What's up? -Okay, is everyone here?

-Tell. -Say it quickly, I'm on the pot.

I’ve got a brilliant idea for us to pass Plus Two easily

and get into college.

And what’s that?

Quota!

-You mean quarter? -Not that!

If we participate in sports or arts up to the State level,

we'll get grace marks.

And that way, we can get into the quota.

Failing a subject won’t even be a matter of subject anymore.

We can get admission in any college of our choice.

-For real? -Yeah.

Since we've already dipped our toes into arts and flopped,

how about we bring some freshness and choose sports?

Kids these days are after video games.

Let's try something real.

-We can do that. -But what's a real sport?

If you ask like that...

Well, look around, there's football,

cricket, badminton...

Mm...

But we need a lot of people for these sports.

That won't work out.

I've got something in mind.

But that's... DJ...

-Sorry... -What for?

Stop the build-up and just say it.

-Boxing! -Boxing?!

-Yes! -Why?!

There are so many other sports.

That's what I'm saying, we need more people for other sports.

Here, you can get into the ring

and take on each other, one by one.

If you're up against someone, won't you hit?

Of course, we will. We'll beat them to pulp.

If I get hit, I'll hit back.

Which is why it is perfect for us.

Boxing!

Boxing... hm...

But we need to find a place in Alappuzha

that’ll teach us boxing.

There's one such place.

Where?

Alappuzha Gymkhana.

Gymkhana...

Alappuzha Gymkhana.

Okay.

ALAPPUZHA GYMKHANA

'ALAPPUZHA GYMKHANA'

Looks like it's rundown...

Shut up, man! It's not rundown, it's vintage.

-Bro... -Yeah.

What's up, Cheruth?

We want to learn boxing.

All of you?

[together] Yes!

That's great.

You'll have to pay 1000 rupees advance and 500 monthly fees.

-I'm going. -Can you lower it a bit?

This book?

-Jojo... -Bro, can you make some adjustments?

-We're just kids after all. -What now...

Aren't you Ahmed's son? The butcher--

Yes. These are my boys.

So, please reduce...

What to do? All our own kids... Do one thing.

Can you pay 300 rupees advance and 150 monthly fees?

-Yes, set! -Got EMI?

Your muscles will grow in instalments too. That okay?

-That's okay. -Half of six-pack...

-I want six-pack. -Be quiet.

Instalment, it seems. How annoying.

Hey.

-What's up? -These guys... Well, you say it.

We want to learn boxing.

For what reason?

Bro, next year we all want to get into SD College through the sports quota.

We've decided to learn boxing for grace marks.

-Right, guys? -[in unison] Yes, yes.

Bro, can you somehow make it happen for us?

-Come. -Yeah!

Come on!

Where are the gloves, bro?

First...

Run around this factory 50 times.

Let your body sweat.

Okay?

Ufff... do we have to?

50 rounds...

This is quite small, you guys run.

-Get lost! -It's not a lot.

Just 50 rounds, we can finish it fast. Come on.

-We'll be panting like dogs. -What's wrong with him?

-Is he mad? -Run!

Jojo... I feel like puking.

Pass that water.

How many rounds left?

45...

Ask him if we can run it in 45 days?

Get lost, man!

Come! Boys!

Come on, boys!

Enough resting, come on!

Come on, come on.

I wonder if they're staying up at night with the lights on, smoking stuff.

They look at us with disrespect.

-That tall-- -Bro...

-Oh, here they are. -Ran...

Then, go home, all of you.

Huh?

What about boxing?

All of you bring your sportswear tomorrow.

Then do another 50 rounds around this.

We'll see after that.

Is it running again tomorrow?

Let's just sleep here then.

No, man. He's mad, he'll make us run again. Let's go home.

One.

One.

BRO! Bro...

-One... -Finished.

Ow...

Finished...

Ran...

Finished?

Go stand at the back.

-One... -One...

-One... -One...

-One... -One...

-One... -One...

-Bro... -Hm?

I don't want boxing.

I'll do wrestling.

You stand over there. I'll come now.

-DJ! -Get lost, I'm gonna learn wrestling.

-One... -One...

Eh, is this wrestling? Nice!

-One... -One...

This is for the new folks.

Focus on me.

First, the boxing stance.

Keep your left leg slightly back.

Put your weight on it.

Got it?

Next is the guard.

Keep both hands like this...

...close to your face.

You know why?

So you don't get hit in the face.

Whenever you lower your hands,

you'll keep taking punches to the face.

Okay?

Like this, right?

Here... hold it close.

Not over your head.

Hold it like this.

Closer, like this.

Okay.

Mine is right.

He knows there's no point telling you.

-You're just jealous. -Next...

Look at your opponent's face and...

One.

-One. -One.

One...

-One. -[in unison] One.

One...

One...

-Keep practising. -One.

Shibu, show them.

-One... -One...

-One... -One...

One.

One.

One.

Mummy.

-MUMMY! -Oh!

You scared me.

What's it?

Who scared whom?

I thought you got an electric shock.

Ah!

This won't be enough from tomorrow.

Soya and chutney and stuff.

I need more protein.

I've started boxing training.

Oh!

How about just sticking to what you can do?

Boxing, it seems.

He's back with his next trick.

When someone's doing something good,

can't you at least say one nice thing?

How pathetic, Mummy!

-Hmph! -Get lost!

Boxing, hmph!

-One. -One.

-One. -One.

-One. -One.

-One. -One.

-One. -One.

-One. -One.

-One. -One.

Listen, Shibu?

How much longer do we have to do this?

It's been the same thing for a month! One, one, one...

-One. -One.

-One. -One.

-One. -One.

One minute, Shibu.

-Salim bro! -Yeah?

So, we've learnt one.

What next?

Watch.

Two.

-Two. -Two.

-Ah! -Do it.

Hey Jojo!

Hey!

I won't be coming tomorrow onwards.

One for a month, two for two months...

Shanu!

-Two. -Two.

-Two. -Two.

-Two. -Two.

-Two. -Two.

Yesterday, I messaged you and you were online,

-but you didn’t reply. Why’s that, Jojo? -That...

Anu, it’s not like that.

You know I’ve started boxing training.

We’ve got the District-level match next week.

-So, I was on a video call with my coach. -Really?

Oh, really?

Sorry, you really think I’d ignore you on purpose?

Can you actually punch someone and knock them down?

Hey, I could always punch.

Now, I just do it a bit more technically.

Can you take down that ‘Touch Suni’ guy?

You mean now?

Yes.

DJ...

No thanks, my dear.

Just look at him.

If I go straight up to him,

throw a 'One' to his right side and a 'Two' to his left side,

he’ll fall straight into the water.

-Shall I? -Yeah.

But there’s one problem.

What’s that?

If I knock him into the water now, that’s gonna be a police case.

-They'll ask, who punched him and why? -As if he would've smashed!

And your dad might find out.

He’ll take away your phone, your laptop,

might even stop your tuition!

It’ll be a total mess. You sure you want that?

No, forget it.

Or maybe we should face this together.

Nah, I was just joking.

-I’ll go punch him and be right back. -No, Jojo, please.

DJ... shall I just do it?

Enough, stop it, man!

No, mate, let it go!

I’ll get him when you are not around. Then I’ll sort him out.

I got really scared!

Are you learning kick-boxing or just normal boxing?

There’s only one type of boxing in boxing.

-Right, man? -Ah, One... Two...

It’s normal boxing! Normal boxing!

-Yes, normal... normal boxing. -Oh, okay.

I don’t bother what kind and all.

Once I step into the ring, it’s all about smashing my opponent.

Okay, then. See you tomorrow.

-Okay, see you. -Bye.

-Which boxing are we learning? -One-Two boxing!

Whoa! I panicked for a second, thinking I’d lose my phone and laptop.

Oye!

Hi! Come.

Two...

Two...

-Two! -Two...

Two...

-Two! -Two...

-Two. -Two.

Two...

Two.

Two...

-Who's that? -Joshua...

Two.

-Two! -Two...

-Two! -Two...

Stop.

Do you guys know who this is?

Antony Joshua.

He’s played at the National level.

Right now, he’s training to compete for South Asia.

But it all started right here, in our very own Gymkhana.

Isn't that right?

With the District championship coming up,

Joshua’s going to be training you for the next few days.

Don’t think I’m just hyping him up, he’s the best!

You guys are lucky to have him as your coach.

Right, Joshua?

If you’ve got anything to say to them, go ahead.

I’ve got wrestling coaching over there.

Okay.

How long have you been learning boxing?

One week.

One month.

Two weeks.

And you think you can box in this pathetic state?

No fitness, no proper shoes...

You’re showing up for boxing like it’s a casual game in the backyard.

You haven’t even worn boxing gloves yet have you?

No.

Come.

Come on.

Put these gloves on, quick.

Hey, come on.

Come on, punch.

That’s how you punch?

Put some power into it!

When I say punch, I don’t mean just swinging your hands around.

The most powerful punch in the world comes from a boxer.

And it doesn’t just happen naturally.

Your speed, timing, weight delivery...

all of it has to come together.

Get into your boxing stance.

Step back a little, widen your stance.

Chin down.

Your legs and hips need to rotate at the same time.

Okay

And you need to connect the punch at the right moment. Okay?

Okay.

Now, turn your body... full power!

Full!

Aha!

What's this, Pappa?

What is this?

Jojo,

your father has decided to get updated.

Do you know something?

Have you ever heard of VST?

With that technology, we can turn your voice into a monkey’s voice,

-and the other way around too. -Oh!

Once I master it, my good days will finally begin!

This is the first step.

That actually sounds pretty good, Pappa.

Pappa, you shouldn’t just be sitting at home doing nothing.

You deserve the world.

And where did...

Hey, listen...

And where did the money for all this come from?

No wonder, Mummy was crying.

Pappa, listen,

Pappa... Pappa...

We’ve got a lot of expenses coming up.

Things aren’t like before.

I...

I'm not some random bloke, but the boxing champion of Alappuzha.

-You? Really? -Why not?

How on earth did that happen?

Just listen to me.

Since there's a sports quota, my college admission will be easier.

But there’ll be some donation money involved.

So, you need to sort that out.

What the--

-Hello champion... -Ah!

-Hi. -Congratulations.

Thank you, thank you.

Didn’t see you there! I was looking all over for you.

We left right after your fight.

-Oh, yeah? -So, no treat for winning?

Of course! I'll arrange a party.

Just tell me when it's convenient for you.

With your girlfriend? A girl, huh?

No way! Mummy will kill me.

Nowadays parties are like that.

-Right? -Exactly!

How long are we gonna keep looking at each other's faces?

I’m bored of it!

Let the girls join us too.

My Anupama is bringing Keziya along too.

Shanu...

DJ, please, man.

Hold this.

Why didn’t you tell me earlier?

I was waiting for the right time to drop this news.

-Right? -Of course!

A vehicle's here!

-Vehicle? A whole ride full of girls?! -It's party time!

Come, my dears.

-Come, Cheruth. -Who the hell are these girls?

Hey, isn’t that Alby’s girlfriend?

-Love, careful getting off the bike. -You're the one who got punched!

-And he got the girl! -Bloody swine!

He's the real warrior! Come on in, buddy!

The flower boy is all dolled up to impress, huh?

-What’s on your shirt? A fruit stall? -Fruit stall?

Come in.

To all my friends and my beautiful lady.

Everyone, listen up! Ahem!

We, the Alappuzha champs are in the house

and the celebration begins right here!

-Keziya, cheers. -Cheers.

-Baby, cheers. -Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Cheers.

Give me your hand.

Shanu, careful, you'll sprain your back!

Don't worry, man!

Tch! Losers!

-Shall we take a selfie? -Nah, let’s record them instead!

Can we switch up the dance moves a bit?

Been doing the same thing forever now!

Hey, shall I show you around the house?

-Hm? -Hmm... Alright, let’s go.

-Yeah, come on. -Okay.

Was dancing always so easy?

This is the dining area. It's a very eco-friendly house.

What the hell is this, a home tour? Hey, you!

Where are you off to?

Just a minute.

-Jojo... -Yeah.

It's getting nasty. Best to throw everyone out.

DJ’s dad conned my father and bought this land and house.

For real?

Yep, they’re cousins.

Ohh.

So technically, this is like our house too.

Ohh.

This is the bedroom.

Oh wow.

-Is that a balcony? -Yeah, that's a balcony.

Hay, no! Don’t go there!

Oh!

You brought me up here to kiss me, didn’t you, Jojo?

Eh?

What kiss will it be?

French?

Butterfly?

Eskimo?

Hickey?

Vampire?

Single lip?

Angel?

Or leave it! Let it be a surprise!

-I'm excited. -Me too.

I'm ready.

-Can I say something? -Yeah?

-I don’t think I can do this. -Huh?

If I’m under too much pressure,

I’ll just freeze.

Shall we head back down?

What do you think?

Yeah, let’s go.

Come.

Whoa! That was sick!

-Move aside, boy, pass me that ball. -Jojo, throw it!

Here goes!

OH!

See.

Cheers, guys.

Cheers.

Now, you can give it a shot.

Gimme the ball, so that I can throw the damn thing.

Gimme.

It was pure comedy upstairs.

-What happened? -I'll tell you.

Didn’t I just show you how to throw properly?

On rare occasions, I mess up.

-I’ll give it a go, pass it here. -Baby, wanna try?

-No, babe. -Go on, have a go!

Just flick it like this.

What happened?

Mom just called, gotta go home urgently.

Are you sure?

Mm, I’m sure.

-Alright, then. -Okay.

See you.

-Hope you enjoyed the party. -Of course.

-See you. -See you.

Oh!

Just one more chance. After that, party is over.

Party isn't over. Don't worry, baby.

Pass the ball.

Huh? Break up?

Party is over!

Jojo, my wish is to have a boyfriend who can kiss really good.

I don't think this will work.

-Cheers! -I'm sorry.

Bye.

Cheruth, let's leave after this. Let's go home.

Go and drop your baby.

Stop everything. Mom will be here soon.

-Jojo. -Sherin.

-Yeah. -Can I ask you something?

Yeah, make it fast.

What talents would you wish for in your boyfriend?

I've a lot of wishes.

But my biggest wish right now is to make this Vellayappam properly.

Call me back after a while, okay?

Kiss me, Jojo.

I don't think I can.

One-Two.

Extend One.

Pshhh!

Hey! If you came here to listen to songs,

why not just stay home? Why come here?

Come on.

Where's little Shifas?

Our load's arriving today, so he'll be a bit busy.

You're wasting time chasing chicken poop.

Not poop, it's eggs!

Coach, aren't you going for the South Asian championship?

When's the practice for that?

They'll call when it's time.

Instead of sending me off to fight, you guys should practice properly.

Or you'll all get beaten black and blue.

It's the State match.

Coach, didn't we fight it out at the District level to get here?

Once we're in the ring, we'll break bones, no matter who it is.

-Right, Shifas? -Of course.

-Are you all that confident? -[in unison] Yes!

Then both of you come here.

Let's spar.

If either of you can land even one punch on my face,

you can talk big.

-Jojo... -Come.

-Jojo. -Hm?

Let's smash.

Come on, Jojo!

Oh, mother!

Ow!

Come!

You go.

Go on!

Oh, no!

Huh? How was that?

Put ice pack.

Hm?

What happened?

You seem to have lost your old charm.

Hmm...

Where exactly did we go wrong, Jojo?

I think everywhere.

Not feeling great.

No energy.

No concentration.

Don't feel like doing anything.

Can't even box properly.

I can't even kiss right.

Eh?

Who did you kiss now?

Um... I mean...

Not like that.

-Can I ask you something? -Yeah.

What kind of kiss do you like most?

-What kind? -Yes.

Isn't there just one type of kiss?

-Really? -Yeah.

Keep it simple and sweet. That's all.

Keep it simple and sweet...

Now you give me a kiss.

Pow, pow!

Hah!

Hah, hah!

I had called and informed.

I'll call.

-I'm at the gym. -Bro...

I'm Deepak.

From Spartan's Club, Haripad.

Ah, okay.

Look, it's the guy who beat up Shibu.

Shibu!

Joshua.

This is Deepak.

75 plus category.

He'll be joining us.

I know him. I saw the fight.

-Deepak. -Who was your coach?

I don't have a coach.

I mostly learnt it from YouTube.

Oh...

-Come. -Alright then.

All the very best!

I don't get time to train because of work.

So, YouTube is the only hope.

What do you do?

Painting.

Hah, hah!

Who's he, huh?

What a show-off!

Salim bro... look.

Are you Christopher?

No. Kiran.

Didn't Mother from the Convent call you?

Ah!

It's your second time for the State, right?

Missed it the last time.

But this time, I'll get it!

They'll take time to reach.

-Sit over there. -Okay.

Who's that?

Hey, wassup guys?

Is he a bat?

He looks like some crossbreed.

This doesn't feel steady.

He's probably gonna get it from me.

-Looks like you'll have to. -Jojo.

One more guy was supposed to come, right?

Christopher or something...

-Big shopper? -Not big shopper, man. Christopher.

A guy’s been sitting there like a statue for a while now.

You think that's him?

Are you Christopher?

Yes, that's me.

Why didn't you say anything?

But no one called me for that.

So, should I come and call you?

No, I'll call myself from there.

I'm doing a mono-act here.

Don't throw that attitude, come.

The State meet will happen in Kochi in two months.

That doesn't mean you've two months.

You've only got two months.

This practice won't cut it.

You all need to step it up!

And this time you're not playing for Gymkhana.

You're playing for Alappuzha district.

Don't forget that.

Plenty of folks have gone for this competition from here before too.

These days, it's nothing!

Back when we used to participate...

Well, nothing happened.

Which is why I'm telling you, my dear children,

the cup has to come to Alappuzha this time.

It's my wish.

Joshua will tell you the rest.

Boys!

Our training begins tomorrow.

Morning, 5.30, 10 kilometres run.

Then, pad work and technical sparring.

For one and half hours.

-In the evening, one hour of conditioning. -Okay.

I'll give each of you a diet plan.

Everyone must follow that.

If one of you makes a mistake,

you'll all be punished.

-Clear? -[together] Yes, Coach!

Come on.

Mummy!

Bring me the right amount of protein!

Pappa.

When I’m back, I’ll be bringing a lot of gold,

so better find a place to stash it.

Don't say you don't want it then!

-My dear Jojo. -Yes?

Instead of studying and passing your exams,

why are you going around getting beaten up?

It's not just for us.

I'm a boxer competing in

the Kerala State Boxing Competition for Alappuzha.

Boxing isn’t just going around getting beaten up!

So, Mr. Boxer, do one thing.

On your way, get the ambulance guy's number.

You might need it when you're back.

That's it!

No point staying here any longer.

We'll see if I'm coming back in an ambulance

or as a champion, okay!

If you want, eat and go!

You stay strong and go.

Gotta stay strong to punch hard in the evening.

That's why I'm telling you.

You eat.

Aren't you eating?

Nah!

This has 22 grams of protein.

And that has eight grams of protein

as well as fat and carbs. Uff!

I made a mistake, man. Let go!

Coach, isn't the competition in the evening?

Why are they busting their backs right now?

They're not here for a tour like us.

Coach, they say that before a tough battle,

you need to rest properly.

So, go ahead and rest.

It's connected to Bluetooth.

Bro, I just got hit by that other thing.

-By what? -This moment we're in right now...

that feeling like it's happened exactly like this before?

Deja vu.

-Yeah. -I get that feeling sometimes too.

-You know it? -Of course.

You must've felt it too. Just soak it in!

Deja is a French word. It means "already seen".

-We don't need to discuss it, let it go. -No, no. Wait.

They say, basically it is an eye problem,

a memory fault, a simulation glitch or something like that.

There are some conspiracy theories surrounding it.

People who don’t understand things, call everything a conspiracy theory.

Get lost!

Is that for water cutting?

-Let's go to the weigh-in. -Is it time?

Yes, it's time.

Come on.

Woohoo!

You left without calling me.

I fell asleep and had an amazing dream.

Why didn’t you just continue sleeping?

DJ! I'm the champion today.

Oho!

Coach, look at them.

Tea isn't good.

Very less milk.

Hey!

-Should've ordered a shake. -Jojo!

-Yes? -Enough eating.

-Do you want puffs? -I'll eat and come.

You want? It's very hot.

Don't want?

-You need to weigh-in. -Weigh-in?

Isn't it the same 60 kg category, like how it was at the District level?

That's how it is there.

Here, they weigh you first.

And whatever your weight is, that's your category.

But...

They weren't crazy

running around with sacks in the morning.

Got it?

Do you want?

No thanks. Sorry.

What's this, man?

Gotta bulk up for the weigh-in, right?

What kind of captain are you?

What are you looking at?

-He can hear, you go. -60.

-65. -Huh?

Hey, Jojo!

What's this?

He competed in 60 for the district.

Can you make an adjustment?

I'll do my job, Shamsu. Stop bothering me.

Didn't I clearly tell you not to stuff your face?

-Now see? -Ah...

Coach, a heads-up would've helped. Too bad.

Well now you know.

Go change.

It's okay. Sometimes it happens.

-What's gone is gone. -Good I didn't check my weight.

-I got no underwear. -As if you ever wore any!

Boys! Let's not sit around here and go check out the ring?

Okay.

Last time, this blue corner froze me.

No point in making big talks.

Deepak.

What do we need to do next?

At least now, we should practice.

Yes!

-Coach! -Yes.

So...

-Let's begin? -Yes.

Boys!

Let's head outside and do some pad work.

Let's go! Come on!

Shadow box.

Back, back!

Switch! Yeah, yeah.

Defence, keep going.

-Same, same! -Jojo...

Same, same.

Long punches.

-Where are you off to? Same place as me? -Yeah.

Did you see that girl with the green cap?

Saw the green one, saw the black one too.

Okay, black is all yours.

Green’s my crush, mate.

Oh, fresh! Haven't you had enough, man?

Is it a crime to love someone sincerely now?

I’m just loving them, not harming anyone.

You don't harm them, but people sure call it something else.

Don’t forget to drink water.

Ashraf bro, we’re from Alappuzha.

We’re big fans of yours.

Salim’s not here?

Nah, Shamsu is.

-Is your weighing-in over? -Yes.

Then go and practice well!

Let’s do some pad work now.

Hey, hot girls...

especially you.

So, we are gonna nail it, right?

What?

I mean, we are gonna win the championship, right?

We’ll win our part, no doubt.

You guys win it first, then talk.

Attitude...

Where’s all this arrogance coming from?

We won the District too, that’s how we got here.

Hello! We saw what you pulled off in the District matches.

This isn’t hopscotch, it’s boxing.

Aha! So, you know me, huh!

She’s seen my game.

They're all show, man.

That cap messing with your head?

Come, let's go.

Go, and at least learn to throw a proper punch.

Shifas!

Alright then, let’s see who takes the cup for Alappuzha,

us or you!

Don't treat me like an idiot!

Your taunts made me feel this little.

Alright, little kid, off you go!

-SHIFAS! -I was thinking of a solid punchline.

-See you! -See you...

What’s up? You seem nervous?

That’s him, Akbar.

He’s the one who knocked me out last time.

Hey, DJ.

This guy’s solid.

He's got class.

This is gonna be one hell of a match.

-Why’s fate always against me? -What’s up, man?

He's Akbar.

Bro, who's Sanu?

That's Sanu over there.

Which one’s Hari?

See the guy in the blue jersey? That’s Hari.

Oh, man, you’re done for! He’s bigger than you, Cheruth!

You’re dead!

Oh, my champ, show me your baby face.

Did you see them?

-I didn’t look. -Come, I’ll show you.

He’s fought and won for Kerala at the South India-level.

Two-time State gold medal winner.

180 punches in 30 seconds.

110 push-ups in one minute.

We saw him during our weigh-in.

Don’t be scared. You’ve got the height advantage.

But don’t let him get too close.

If he does, you’re done for.

Then boom, gun salute, funeral, the whole package!

I’ll handle all that.

Don't play cheerleader and villain together.

These losers are good-for-nothings.

You should see Punjab, that’s a real team!

Those girls don’t quit, man!

Even if you hit the ground, they'll keep fighting.

That’s real power.

Who’s the guy with Coach?

This is our room.

Come, bro.

-Sir... -Follow combinations.

-Keep on! Keep bouncing. -Come on.

Angry! Angry!

Stay. Stay.

What are you doing here?

I came with these boys.

Alleppey coach.

Who put you up to this?

Salim.

And where's Salim?

All of us officials made it, but Salim couldn’t?

Salim can't be bothered, huh!

You watch, I’ll make sure Salim never sets foot in this Federation again.

-How come you're back? -Damn his Gymkhana!

Who the hell does he think he is?

Is he gonna bite us or something?

This is boxing, not rowdy school.

Didn’t I tell you to come see me when you got back home?

I was going to—

Do you even know who Utham Singh is?

-Do you even know his career record? -Who’s this 'Yuddham' Singh now?

He cracks a joke with you

and you have the audacity to jump in and fight him?

You think you can take on anyone? Then go on, hit me.

Hit me!

And now he wants to be a coach.

Forget coaching! First, go see a proper doctor.

What’s wrong with him? Snapping like a rabid mutt!

Feels like I’m about to snap!

Got it now?

Everyone gets angry.

Learn to manage it.

Joshua...

I’ll make sure you won’t be stepping into that ring anytime soon.

You came with these boys, right?

Get your share and get lost!

Come on.

What’s his problem with us?

Real boomer vibe!

-Ignore him, bro. -Let go of it.

One-Two.

Sir's in a foul mood today.

You will sort out your career soon. I'm sure of it.

And listen, don’t take this the wrong way...

These guys are not good enough.

Not even in the same league.

Well, it just makes it easier for our boys.

Okay then. Let me go and boost our boys' confidence.

What’s up? Feeling angry?

-What's your name? -Swathi.

Ah, Swathi.

Are you the one training these guys?

Yeah, why?

No reason, just... Had some respect for them earlier.

Now, it's gone.

-Come, guys. -You!

What kinda talk is that?

Say it again, man!

Hello, which one of you is Deepak?

Deepak Panicker?

Oh, you!

Hey...

I'm Deepak.

-What's the matter? -Good God!

Take a good look at him.

Let it go, man.

And who's Shifas?

It's Shifas Ahmed.

Ah, yes. Shifas Ahmed.

You can call me ‘Valuth’.

-Huh? Valuth? -Here he is, Sadak.

We’ll be seeing each other again.

See you, mate.

Hey, come on.

Enough now, come here.

Come.

Don’t take any of this seriously.

You’ll see all sorts of charades here.

[OVER PA] New champions will rise on this stage in this competition.

Champions from 14 districts have gathered here today

to compete for the Kerala Championship title.

This district-based showdown kicks off with a thrilling face-off

between the current champions, Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram.

First up, in the 55 kg category,

we have Rakesh from Thiruvananthapuram in the blue corner

and Nithin from Ernakulam in the red corner.

Dear boxing fans, the fighters are in position!

The battle we've all been waiting for starts now!

See that guy rolling the speaker in?

Nobody lay a finger on him, okay? He's all mine.

Today, I’m gonna steal the show!

Hey Jojo, don’t we need something like that too?

Of course.

YAY!

When we step into the ring, all eyes should be on us!

-Right? -Absolutely.

-Can we get a long pestle? -Pestle?!

We need a pestle and a towel.

Our grand show-off starts right now!

Go, get the props.

Sit down. You can’t just get up and walk around like that.

Come on! Come on! Hit him!

Come on! Come on!

He is out of this world!

-Look, our boy is killing it! -Yes!

Knockout!

Damn, there goes our reputation.

-Christopher, are you okay? -Are you okay?

-I don't think he is. -Look, the puffs have come out.

Come on, lift him up.

-Ugh... will be right back. -Hey, man, he collapsed!

[OVER PA] After an incredibly brave fight, Alappuzha’s Christopher has gone down!

Congratulations, John!

Attention volunteers, please clean up the puke on stage as quickly as possible.

The next match will begin shortly.

Why the hell is he announcing all this?

Is he conscious?

-Yeah, he is. -Just get him out of here. Fast.

[OVER PA] The next fight is about to begin. Alappuzha’s Gouri vs. Thrissur’s Ardra!

Dear... dear... what’s your name?

Dear...

-Hey, did he open his eyes? -Yes!, dear, look at me.

Look here, here.

Mother, why isn’t Dad talking to me?

Mother?! That’s a doctor, idiot!

Why won’t he just listen to me for once?

I think he’s missing a few marbles.

-Hey no! -Hey!

No way! That's a trick!

Enough, get up!

Dad, why do you hate me so much?

What am I, a clearance sale baby?

Oh, no! He’s completely lost it.

I’m just a kid. Can’t you at least love me a little?

That’s enough! GET UP!

Coach, is it my match now?

Where’s my opponent? I’m gonna knock him out!

You already fought, lost, and puked all over the place!

Look at your shirt!

Yuck!

Ugh!

Better keep that face hidden for a while!

Your match is over, man.

It’s fine. The real champions rise from defeat.

-Legends are made like that, right, Coach? -Loser!

Say another punchline, and I’ll literally punch your face in.

Lie down, lie down.

-Coach, I’ll rock the next match! -Your next match is next year.

Can’t really blame him.

I went through the same trauma last year.

Carry that trauma around

and you can lie down on the bed next to him!

Got it?

Mother Mary, please make sure those girls lose.

Listen DJ, if she crashes this round,

we’re making an offering at Arthunkal Church.

Whatever happens, we’re doing it.

-Come on, Gouri! -Guard, Gouri!

Corner! Corner!

Oh, no!

We won, man!

We?!

[OVER PA] In the 52 kg category, Thrissur’s Ardra takes a stunning victory!

You did everything right, but your guard--

Hello. Need medical aid?

-Huh? -Come on in.

Your friend is still there, right? Let him get out first.

Oh, that’s because he got a bit gastric.

Otherwise, he’d have knocked the other guy dead.

Oh!

Look, considering how things are going,

we need to join forces to win the championship for Alappuzha.

That was pathetic!

We’ll take the championship.

But no joining forces with you!

Shifas, my dear, we're gonna eat them alive.

I'll chew them up and spit them out!

They are really solid, man.

One-Two, Slip-Two, Hook-Two.

Solid in the sense?

Sadak...

He’s dangerous.

Come on.

What do I say about him?

Well, he knows everything.

MMA, Muay Thai, Wushu, Judo, Kubdo, Kung Fu.

Come on!

But don't worry.

One-Two, One-Two, One-Two.

I've spotted his weak point.

I don’t care what you've spotted.

We boxers already know it all.

-You’re a wrestler, aren’t you? -Suit yourself.

-Listen, Shifas... -Come on.

No matter what he's learned, the moment you locked eyes,

I saw him flinch.

Don’t just pump him up and send him to his death.

He's not hyping me up for death.

He's saying all this so I can walk out killing it.

That's the spirit.

I don’t care who he is or where he’s from!

I’m going to knock him out.

But it’s not about falling,

it’s about getting back up. That’s what makes a real champion.

-Aren't you a champion? -YES!

Captain...

Coach....

Come here.

-What should I do in there? -Don’t get too carried away.

It’s the ring, think before you act. Use your head!

Alright, here you go.

Come on, Sadak. Come on.

Come on, Shifas! Come on!

Box!

Go for the face, man!

-Hit him! Right on the head! -Punch him.

Stop! No using the ropes!

By tonight, his fake bravado will get crushed!

Let the whole town see his pro-boxing skills!

What? You going live or what?

Coach, how do these points work again?

Land at least one good punch, then worry about points!

Whoa! Come on, my boy!

Stop.

Blue, back! Back!

Red.

Box!

Exactly! Go for straight punches!

Hey Champ, at least land one punch on him!

Stop!

Are you okay?

Hey Champion, get up, man.

[OVER PA] In the first round itself, Alappuzha’s Shifas Ahmed has been knocked out.

This is nothing new. Move aside.

Shifas Ahmed is being rushed to the medical room, blacked out in a knockout!

One hit? Nah, forget it. You couldn't even land a proper punch?

And amidst all this, damn your Instagram live!

Do you even know how many people watched that?

-My friends saw it too! -What's up?

His bloody pro-boxing!

Shifas...

Shifas, where exactly did we go wrong?

What happened to you today?

Eh?

Jab... Cross... Ouch!

Aha!

Looks like the whole team is in here.

So, how many of your team are still on their feet?

Why, Doctor?

Give me a number and I'll book more hospital beds!

That's why I asked.

Good idea.

To be fair, it’s better than just sitting there like clowns.

Might as well chill here.

Bloody ass--

That’s the right call, guys!

That’s exactly the best option for all of you!

So, now that every Tom, Dick and Harry has had a laugh at our expense.

Are you happy?

Only the doctor was left. And that's done too.

That’s not what I meant, Coach.

No, Doctor, please sit down. It's not about you.

All this big talk! Why didn’t you show it inside the ring?

You’re embarrassing me as well!

When I came here, I only ever left with medals.

That too, gold medals! Two of them!

Coach, please.

No, it's not about you, Doctor.

I was a National-level player myself. I trained all of you!

Have you even shown a shadow of that training in the ring?

If you step in to fight, at least put in the work for it.

Otherwise, don’t even bother to try.

Coach, calm down.

They get the point.

The only thing we’re unsure of is the championship.

So many of us are still standing.

-We’re not leaving without a win! -Exactly!

If you really mean that, at least we’ll get to play a proper game!

Clear?

Now, who’s up next?

Me.

-Coach... -Sit there, you! Sit!

[OVER PA] Alappuzha’s Indu and Kollam’s Aleena will enter the ring.

How about we go out and watch good fight?

Come, Coach.

-He left. -No need to be so dramatic.

Is your kidney alright?

Let’s be real, we messed up.

It's about the women!

We skipped training, two guys went down and now this.

But all this “State champion, gold medal” bragging...

Why bring that up here?

Right?

It was not for us, for sure!

-Eh? -Hm?

Why did he get smashed by the other coach? That's all that's left to know.

He's not who we thought he was!

-Hey, Jojo... -What?

That Indu from the Alappuzha Girls' Team...

-Did she lose? -Nope, she won.

Shucks!

Alright, but no need to make a big deal out of it.

Since we're from the same district.

We’ll show sportsmanship, congratulate and leave. That’s it.

One Slip, Hook, Two.

What’s up?

-We just came to congratulate her. -Stretch

Make it quick, then.

Congrats.

One-Two!

One.

One-Two.

One Slip, Two!

One! One-Two.

Boxing isn’t just about slipping punches.

There’s also the hook, the uppercut and everything else.

Can you show us?

Why not?

Gimme.

You have to keep it tight, okay?

Ready.

Touch glove.

Ready? Double One, Right Hook.

Soft.

-Let’s go. -What's that?

Shall we leave?

Oh, is it time for his fight?

Sorry, I gotta prepare my next fighter.

So, I have to go.

Let practice continue. Alright, champ!

Coach.

Why are you standing here?

-What's it? -He's crying inside.

What's the problem, Deepak?

-He won't fight. -He won't?

Just because he got punched ages ago.

How can one be so scared?

Coach, why don't you motivate him?

How much more can I motivate?

He's in a dark space.

-Is it? -Yes.

Motivation didn't work.

Neither did yelling. Moreover, dark too.

Literally, in every sense.

There's a way.

If it works, it works. Come on.

That's a good thing, Kiran.

Coach will say all sorts of things.

We're the ones stepping into the ring and taking punches.

Now you'll step in

and we'll just sit back and watch you get punched.

What else... nothing else will happen.

-Right? -Eh?

Yes, yes.

Hanging from bars is one thing, boxing’s a whole other game.

You need skill.

That guy looks like he was born to punch and smash.

He looks like the Terminator.

Bro, the real pain isn’t from getting hit.

When we fail and leave the ring,

some people give you a look. That’s unbearable.

Good thing I lost consciousness,

I didn’t have to go through all that.

But I understand him.

He doesn’t even have the guts to love a girl properly.

If he had the guts to step into the ring and throw a punch,

you think he'd still be a virgin? Of course not!

-He's a virgin? -Yeah!

Let it go, man.

We'll catch the next Alleppey Express.

Doubt this is gonna work out.

Forget it, man.

Don't think you can do it.

There's always a next time.

It's just that when you think our fate is to fail like this...

You're okay, right? Let's pack up then.

I'll show you, you losers!

Is he about to burst?

Did it work?

-Yes, the virgin struck a chord. -Worked?

It's alright! Good game, Kiran!

Kiran from Alappuzha also delivered an outstanding performance.

Congratulations to both!

Good job.

Bro, eat this too.

Tell me if you want anything else, okay?

Mmm.

So, tell me DJ.

What do we know so far?

Sameer.

-About him-- -Hey, hey!

-What? -Skip the story. Get to the point.

So, the point is.

He's a southpaw.

-Okay, he's a southpaw. That's it, right? -Yes.

Coach, Sameer is a southpaw.

Yes, he is.

Actually, what is this southpaw?

-I'm not quite sure... -Is that so?

It's nothing really.

We're right hand orthodox.

He's a left-hand southpaw.

His left hand will be more powerful.

That's all.

It's not a big deal.

It is, Coach.

The last match with Kollam district,

we fought tooth and nail and lost.

Next is our little tusker's match.

We can't just let it slide.

We need to win it, am I right?

Yes, yes.

I'm fine. He's just a left-hander, right?

-I'll manage it. -That's not it, Deepak.

Think about it, we shouldn't be wandering around like orphans.

We have a house here and a head of the house too!

We need to be one.

-Right, Cheruth? -Yes, yes.

-Shifas bro. -The Alappuzha team is back together.

When did Alappuzha team even split?

No... not like that.

From now on, we'll be here for everything.

That's a good thing.

But...

It'd be good if we could get a few blessings.

-Okay. Wish you all the best. -Thank you.

Alright. Keep your defence up, okay?

You're up against Sameer from Kochi, right?

Yes.

Make sure you don't take his left punch.

-Why do you say so? -Take the hit and you'll know.

Come on. Let's stretch.

-This year's Kerala Amateur Boxing... -There they are.

-...Championship is in its final stages... -Come here.

-...with Kollam leading with 98 points. -Come on, man.

Ernakulam district follows in second place with 92 points.

Bro, isn't your last match with Deepak?

Anyway, you guys are toast. Just leave it at that.

Why give Sameer's hands extra work?

Tell Deepak to ask for a walkover and head home and chill.

Exactly.

Oh, dear...

Bro, you should've said this five minutes ago.

-We literally just decided. -Oh, no...

Anyway, we all got whipped and roasted.

The committee’s decided to return every punch we got.

So, what now? You guys said it.

We even bothered to listen.

Didn’t scare us one bit also.

-What to do now? -Hey... it wasn't for you but for Deepak.

You just go and tell Deepak. Got it?

Well, this is for you.

Deepak will fight for Alappuzha Boxing Federation.

Didn't we tell you nicely? Just do it, man.

Bro, this is boxing.

You don't punch with your mouth, right?

Come to the ring. We'll see you there.

-Okay? -Alright...

Shall see you then. Bye.

-Alright. -Bye, specs dude!

Where'd you get all that guts from?

Two punches to your face and you'll get it automatically.

Hmm... okay.

If someone tries to mess with you,

shouldn’t you be telling me first?

I'll deal with them.

I’m your coach, aren’t I?

So, what was he supposed to do?

They came, threw some dialogues at him, and he gave them a solid reply.

Now why are you making such a big issue out of it?

-Hey, any problem? -No, nothing.

Some morons from Kochi threatened him,

either you should take a walkover, or they'll beat us up.

And he accepted their challenge.

Now, what’s the issue with that?

-Same guys from this afternoon? -Yeah, they were there too.

Did they threaten to hit you?

I told them, we’ll see.

Don't bother, this match is our only hope.

You have to win

Coach, the announcement's up.

Shall we go?

Okay, let's go.

No. No need for all that.

Let's go.

Come.

Sameer, go all in on the attack. Land those power punches, yeah?

Come on!

-Deepak, easy! Easy! -Box.

-What the hell... -Stop it, you.

-Stop it, I said. -Hey Deepak, you better!

Heck! We lost it.

HEY!

What?

What happened, Coach?

Coach... Hey!

Red abandoned.

Blue is the winner.

[OVER PA] Whoa, whoa! Unexpected!

-Hey, come. -What just happened?

Deepak has given a walkover to Ernakulam’s Sameer and withdrawn.

What the hell did you do? You were gonna win that match!

With this, Ernakulam has overtaken Kollam district

to claim the top spot in the current points table.

We've been standing here, humiliated, for far too long.

I'm heading off. Jojo, you coming?

Hey...

Did you get through to the coach?

He’s not picking up.

After getting ditched like that, anyone would feel bad.

He must be around somewhere. Either way, I’m leaving.

Shall we go, then?

Scaring people for no reason!

Where did you even get this from? Just get rid of it.

Wow, now that it’s all over, you wanna get rid of it, huh?

Shall we go back home, Deepak?

Yes, let's go.

Hello...

Hello. Are you heading back?

See you in Alappuzha.

See you.

-See you. -See you.

We are off.

Hey.

I have something to tell you.

But not now. Later.

Don’t bother telling me at all, Jojo.

Come on, please.

Well, what kind of boyfriend do you wish for?

Huh?

Should I answer?

Please.

Someone like... your friend, Deepak.

Ah.... ah... of course!

He is a nice chap.

Okay then, bro. See you.

Alright.

-Okay, see you. -See you.

-Bye. -Bye.

Ah!

-Sherin... -Jojo, how did it go? Did you win?

-No. We lost it. -Oh, no.

The punch landed and by the fifth second, I almost blacked out.

-So, you can imagine the others. -Even Valuth?

Someone absolutely wrecked Valuth’s face.

He’s been out cold ever since.

And what about Cheruth?

Cheruth? Cheruth...

Oh, no! I forgot about Cheruth!

I'll call you right back.

DJ...

How can we all just leave like this?

Not all of us lost, right?

Look at him, Cheruth.

-Oh... -He won, didn’t he?

Jojo, haven’t you had enough?

What exactly are you planning?

Deepak, shouldn’t we at least land one final blow?

If we just walk away now,

we’ll look like cowards who backed out after a beating.

Do we really want that kind of reputation?

Are we really gonna go back and get embarrassed again?

Cheruth...

For the pride of Alappuzha that has lost all the matches...

For your Zakariya Bazaar...

For our Gymkhana...

Even if it’s a fight to the death in the ring, you’d fight, right?

Shouldn't we make him fight?

-We’ll punch them! -We'll fight them!

-What about Coach? -Coach?

We’ll find him later. Right now, we’re heading back. Let’s go!

Come, come, come!

Come on, everyone!

Come.

Superb! Come on, man.

I can understand you, Coach.

We were winning, weren’t we? Deepak bailed halfway through out of fear.

Of course, anyone would be pissed.

I was furious too.

But can I tell you what I realised?

Every problem has a reason behind it.

If you think about it, wasn’t it those guys scaring Deepak

that made him scared?

So shouldn’t our anger be towards them?

Not Deepak, right?

Right?

Coach, you really wanna smash his face in, don't you?

But in situations like this, we have to learn to control--

You've to control yourself, Coach!

COACH!

Hey, you!

COACH!

What the...?

RUN!

How's it going?

Didn't miss a single punch. He's toast!

Hey, come here.

Staying here any longer won't be good for us.

-What's wrong? -Get up and come.

-But why? -Rope!

Stop.

Champion! Champion! Champion!

Come quick, man!

Where the hell are you rushing to?

This way’s safer. Just come.

They will definitely be waiting for us at the main gate.

We’ll get wrecked. So this is the safer option.

Come.

Hey, kids.

Didn't you say this route is safe and empty?

Well, that...

I'm tired, man.

I’m just gonna sit here.

Hey, Cheruth...

What's the plan now?

Should we... talk to them?

Oh, fantastic idea!

You go fricking talk to them.

I’ve been holding back long enough.

I can’t control myself anymore!

YOU!

Bro!

-DJ!. -Enough, you. Come, sit here.

Beat the hell out of them, Jojo.

Are you okay?

-Good job. -Thanks.

-Hey, no! -HEY!

Hey, DJ! Let go of them. Come back.

-Stop there. -Coach, look at them!

Hey, guys, enough. Come back, all of you.

STOP!

DJ, run! The whole of Kochi is chasing us!

We need to get out of here!

Coach, the whole of Kochi is there. Things have gone out of control.

What?!

This is more than we could manage.

Hey, run, man! Quick!

Run! There is a truckload of them.

Hey, wait. Let me go and talk to them.

Wait there.

Don't run.

YOU!

-Coach! -Come, stay together.

Get them, DJ!

We can jump over this and get out. Come on!

Come!

Enough! Jump and get out of here.

Come on!

Catch this!

-Come on, quick, man. -Enough!

Come on, Coach!

Don’t get yourself knocked out! Hurry up, Coach!

Come quick!

Jump over the wall, Coach!

-Come! -HEY!

Coach!

Oh, damn!

Run! Run!

-Run fast! -Police! Police!

Jojo, you'll end up in prison!

Run, man! RUN!

Run!

Deepak...

I have something to tell you.

-Now?! -You know Natasha, right?

Yeah.

Apparently, she is in love with you.

Why did you stop?

And you are telling me now?!

I was too busy taking a beating to share the news.

Come! We're gonna be toast!

We’ll go get her when we’re back home.

Now, RUN!

Run faster!

Refuge...

Should we stop that ambulance?

Yes, do it.

Please...

-Brother, are you going to Alappuzha? -Yes.

We came here for a boxing competition.

We don’t have enough money to get back.

Can you please drop us off in Alappuzha?

Get in.

Come, everyone.

Thank you, brother.

Come.

Shall we go?

Hey...

I'm sorry.

Sorry to all of you.

I gave a walkover because

I didn’t want any of you to get into trouble because of me.

But looking at everything that’s happened,

maybe I should’ve just fought and won.

Sorry.

Why are you saying sorry?

Wasn’t it my fault?

I overreacted to something unnecessary and messed up everything.

That Roy sir was right.

I should never step into the ring again.

I’m quitting.

I’m done with this damn boxing.

Don’t think like that, Coach.

Anyone would’ve done the same in that situation.

Am I just "anyone"?

We’re boxers, aren’t we?

Did we learn boxing just to pull off ugly street fights?

Did we?!

No.

I’m not saying this to you, I’m asking myself.

This has always been my problem.

When our coach grabbed one of the girls we train with by the butt,

it wasn’t really my place to hit him.

I could’ve just stayed quiet and protected my career.

But I didn't!

Bloody son of a...

Why are you acting like a kid?

Weren’t you the one who won gold twice?

When they are attacking us,

shouldn’t we at least have the guts to stand our ground?

Whatever happens, I’ve decided to learn boxing.

Me too, Coach.

I want to learn boxing as well.

I’m finally getting the vibe.

Then next year, we’re all going for the championship!

-Of course! -And win the cup.

And you'll coach us, Coach!

Hey, Cheruth? Are you dead?

I'm not dead yet, Deepak!

But I’ll be with you all till I die!

Hey...

Are you okay?

What happened?

I’m out, Deepak.

Boxing isn’t for me.

I just want to somehow rewrite those failed papers.

Anyway, we’ll get grace marks now, right?

I need to somehow secure admission in some college.

But that’s not even my biggest stress right now.

I have no idea how I’m going to face Mummy! She's gonna be dark!

Mummy...

Mummy...

Oh he's here!

Why's with the ambulance?

-Where's Jojo? -Jojo...

Don’t worry, Mummy, I’m totally fine!

Then what’s all this, huh?

Just to scare me!

This is the only vehicle that gave us a lift.

Mummy, we all lost.

This is my loser team.

Oh! You're impossible, Jojo!

Is there anything to eat? We're starving.

Here, eggs.

Are you the one training them?

Yes.

My dear, when he left home, I warned him, don’t get beaten up!

But he never listens.

What's he gonna do now?

We tried teaching him drawing.

And then violin too.

No use! He never completes anything!

To sum it up, he’s useless at studies and useless at sports too.

Hey, pass the egg.

So what’s your future plan, Your Highness?

Have your food.

Oh, Mother Mary!

Mummy...

Don’t turn into one of those toxic parents, okay?

Our Jojo isn’t useless.

We lost this time, that's true.

But that doesn’t mean we won’t be champions next time.

We fought hard, Mummy.

A little motivation wouldn’t hurt.

Mummy, do you know?

We were a broken, messed-up team, let down by everyone.

But it was your son who stood by us, motivated us and brought us till here.

Mummy, no one has to be perfect at everything.

In his own way, he’s brilliant.

Please give him some time, Mummy.

-Don’t pressure him. -He’ll figure it out.

And one more thing, Mummy.

Jojo might not be the king.

We are the kings.

But our Jojo is the kingmaker.

Shifas... man!

I’ve waited my whole life for a moment like this, boys!

Mummy...

You wanted to know my future plan, right?

Okay, hear me out.

Next year, we’re entering the State competition for Alappuzha district.

And we’re bringing home the trophy!

And I'm their team manager, Jojo Johnson.

Don’t take this as my confidence.

Take it as a challenge.

Gymkhana boys!

YES!
