	The story begins around the time of the [[1936 Summer Olympics\|Berlin Olympics]] in 1936, when the [[India men's national field hockey team\|Indian]] team played the [[Field hockey at the 1936 Summer Olympics\|hockey finals]] against [[Germany men's national field hockey team\|Germany]]. Despite the Germans attempting to play rough against the Indian team, the Indians start winning in the second half, when the team's assistant manager, Tapan Das ([[Akshay Kumar]]), shows them the [[Swaraj Flag\|Indian Flag]] during the half time break. When the captain Samrat ([[Kunal Kapoor (actor, born 1977)\|Kunal Kapoor]]) and team receive the ~~Gold~~ medal, the [[British National Anthem]] is played and the [[Star of India (flag)\|flag of British India]] is hoisted, but the Indian team promise themselves that they will win a Gold medal once again on behalf of their motherland, after India gets Independence.

	The subsequent Olympics are cancelled because of World War II. After the war, a drunk and spoiled Tapan roams and loses in several bets but sobers up when he gets the news that the next Olympics will be held in London in 1948. He holds aspirations of making India play hockey as a free country, coaching a novice hockey team to earn independent India's first [[Olympic Games\|Olympic]] gold medal at the [[1948 Summer Olympics]].

	Tapan now struggles to win his position as a joint manager of the team and promises to bring up best players from the new generation. He manages to convince Mr. Wadia, and goes out for his work back. He meets the former hockey captain Samrat, now retired, to lead to guide the team. But Samrat refuses and suggests teammate Imtiaz Ali Shah ([[Vineet Kumar Singh]]). Imtiaz, a great contributor of the 1936 Olympics along with Samrat, was a soldier for [[Indian National Army]]. Tapan meets Imtiaz and they decide to continue their dream and oath to win the ~~Gold~~ medal for an independent India. With Independence for India looming on the horizon, Tapan travels to different parts of India to scout for the best players for the team.

	Finally Tapan keeps his promise and creates the national hockey team, taking players from several regions. Among them are Thakur Raghubir Pratap Singh ([[Amit Sadh]]) and Himmat Singh ([[Sunny Kaushal]]), a pair of talented centre forwards from [[Central Provinces and Berar\|Central India]] and [[Punjab Province (British India)\|Punjab]].

==Plot==
The story begins around the time of the [[1936 Summer Olympics|Berlin Olympics]] in 1936, when the [[India men's national field hockey team|Indian]] team played the [[Field hockey at the 1936 Summer Olympics|hockey finals]] against [[Germany men's national field hockey team|Germany]]. Despite the Germans attempting to play rough against the Indian team, the Indians start winning in the second half, when the team's assistant manager, Tapan Das ([[Akshay Kumar]]), shows them the [[Swaraj Flag|Indian Flag]] during the half time break. When the captain Samrat ([[Kunal Kapoor (actor, born 1977)|Kunal Kapoor]]) and team receive the Gold medal, the [[British National Anthem]] is played and the [[Star of India (flag)|flag of British India]] is hoisted, but the Indian team promise themselves that they will win a Gold medal once again on behalf of their motherland, after India gets Independence.

The subsequent Olympics are cancelled because of World War II. After the war, a drunk and spoiled Tapan roams and loses in several bets but sobers up when he gets the news that the next Olympics will be held in London in 1948. He holds aspirations of making India play hockey as a free country, coaching a novice hockey team to earn independent India's first [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] gold medal at the [[1948 Summer Olympics]].

Tapan now struggles to win his position as a joint manager of the team and promises to bring up best players from the new generation. He manages to convince Mr. Wadia, and goes out for his work back. He meets the former hockey captain Samrat, now retired, to lead to guide the team. But Samrat refuses and suggests teammate Imtiaz Ali Shah ([[Vineet Kumar Singh]]). Imtiaz, a great contributor of the 1936 Olympics along with Samrat, was a soldier for [[Indian National Army]]. Tapan meets Imtiaz and they decide to continue their dream and oath to win the Gold medal for an independent India. With Independence for India looming on the horizon, Tapan travels to different parts of India to scout for the best players for the team.

Finally Tapan keeps his promise and creates the national hockey team, taking players from several regions. Among them are Thakur Raghubir Pratap Singh ([[Amit Sadh]]) and Himmat Singh ([[Sunny Kaushal]]), a pair of talented centre forwards from [[Central Provinces and Berar|Central India]] and [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]].

Meanwhile India [[Independence Day (India)|gets Independence]], but is also [[Partition of India|partitioned]] into India and Pakistan. During a [[Partition of Punjab|riot]], Imtiaz gets injured when some Hindus and Sikhs tried to burn him alive, but is saved by Tapan and Himmat. They reach Imtiaz's house cum hockey club, but to their disappointment, his house is burnt and destroyed. A heartbroken Imtiaz refuses to stay further in India and leaves for Lahore. A heartbroken Tapan narrates that along with the division of the country, their dreams and aspirations also broke apart. Half the team ends up playing for Pakistan, while a few others - mainly [[Anglo-Indians]] - move to Australia.

Tapan decides to make it on his own, and brings up the team for practice at a small Buddhist School. The head monk of the [[ashram]] is convinced because he was a great fan of hockey and Samrat. The team is brought here through Tapan's own money. His wife, Monobina Das ([[Mouni Roy]]), also supports and helps him realize his dreams. The training begins but there is a lack of teamwork between the players due to several conflicts. Raghubir, who keeps on his pride, always tries himself to get over the hard working Himmat. On the other hand, Devang Chaturvedi is an efficient player with wit and wisdom. Tapan and Samrat finally teach the players a lesson of unity and conclude the training. Samrat makes Devang, the captain, Raghubir, the vice Captain and tells Tapan that Himmat is a hidden treasure to be used at the right time of the Olympics.

Mr. Wadia, as a chairperson of the [[Indian Hockey Federation|Hockey Council]], becomes the Head Coach and Tapan is once again honoured as the assistant manager of the team. A jealous Mehta ([[Atul Kale]]) deceives Tapan by mixing some alcohol in his drink and an intoxicated Tapan behaves very badly in the party organized by the Hockey Council and is fired from his position, being replaced by Mehta.

The team is now brought to the Olympic level in London by Mehta, But Mehta's usual ego and pride brings upon his bad image to the players when they complain against him. Mr. Wadia then sends for Tapan, and Tapan comes to London with the blessing of Mr. Wadia, who himself returned there from New York. The Olympics begin but Himmat is not allowed to play.

India plays well to reach and win the semi-finals. But since he is not in the player list, Himmat thinks it is a conspiracy by Raghubir just to let him down. During a celebration, Himmat starts fighting with Raghubir and a conflict grows between them, which tarnishes Himmat's image. Devang and Raghubir try to explain to Himmat that it was Tapan who selected the player list for the game, but all in vain.

Finally, in the semi-finals, Tapan has listed Himmat to play, but since other players had complained against his behaviour the previous night, Himmat is not allowed to play. Tapan explains the reason that in the league matches, the opponent players mark the good players, and in the semi-finals or finals, they are marked making it difficult for them to play well. Although India wins the semi-finals, it turns a hard match.

In [[Field hockey at the 1948 Summer Olympics|the finals]], during the first half against Great Britain, the British players mark the Indians and prevent Raghubir from scoring freely as he used to do earlier in the tournament. In the next half, Himmat comes on to the pitch and scores a goal.

But rains arrive during the match, and makes it tough for the Indian team as the ground becomes wet and slippery. However, Tapan recalls his wife once telling him to take off his shoes and push a cart when it got stuck in the mud, so that his feet don't slip. Hence, Tapan instructs his team to play barefoot. The Indians are finally able to win.

Finally, when the captain, Devang receives the Gold, the [[Flag of India|National Flag]] of independent India is hoisted and the anthem "[[Jana Gana Mana]]" is played. A proud Tapan concludes the narration as the Anthem ends and tears of happiness take place.
