Spoilers ahead

Olympic medallist, professional heavyweight boxer Baldev Singh Choudhary is disgraced during the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship when a betting syndicate falsely accuses him of doping. He tries to erase this stain upon his honour by training up his son, Angad Choudhary, but financial difficulties keep them from achieving his dream, straining their relationship and testing their resolve.

Baldev’s younger son Karan Choudhary, an aspiring musician with a paralyzed arm, has just released his first album. Baldev leads an effort to keep the family afloat by training a local boy for a high-profile TV boxing show, only to be dropped in favor of a more celebrated coach at the last minute. Baldev, very upset at this setback, is consoled by Karan, who overcomes his paralysis in a moment of emotional intensity.
