, and Sandhya Mridul. The film revolves around a group of four boys and their passion for the sport.

Plot

The film begins by introducing four boys, Viru, Mahi, Shakeel and Guri, and how they fight their circumstances and lack of resources to pursue their love of cricket. Meanwhile, in the elite Royal Heritage School in the state capital, a cricket coach Hari Sadu has the task of coaching the school team to win their sixth state championship, but faces opposition to his coaching methods by players on the team, who are talented but unwilling to work hard to improve. This leads to tension between the coach and players, which leads to Hari Sadu being wrongfully accused and fired by the board of members, replaced by Harry Oberoi, a suave fixer from the cricket world who suits the image and profile of the school. Hari Sadu is determined to make a local team to compete at the Inter-School Challenge, with the help of his wife Sonali and his cerebral palsy-suffering son Rustam. He develops a cricketing eleven from the wrestling team at the local corporation school, overcoming various hurdles to take on the Royal Heritage School at the Inter-School Challenge. The boys come from humble backgrounds and limited resources but have a passion for cricket and natural talent.
