==Plot==

Raised in a poor, dysfunctional home, a young man Harjeet Singh (Ammy Virk) dreams of winning the World Cup in field hockey. The film starts out in a Kabaddi field, where Harjeet Singh, lovingly called Tully by his friends and family, is clearly the star player and captain of his Kabaddi team. His father, whom Harjeet affectionately calls Bapu, is happily cheering him on the sidelines. Harjeet's team effortlessly wins and he gets dishes as a reward. While walking back home, his father wonders to Harjeet what if he had received cash prize instead of dishes.
