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.

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.

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]]. | The subsequent Olympics are cancelled because of World War II.

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]].

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]]. | Finally Tapan keeps his promise and creates the national hockey team, taking players from several regions.

To the team's dismay, rain arrives 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. | |||

A proud Tapan concludes the narration as the anthem ends and tears of happiness take place. | ||
