Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii 2007

Thirteen-year-old Karan, Zain Khan, lives in a grim orphanage where life is harsh and the stern warden John Kakkar, Rajesh Khera, keeps a tight, unyielding rule over every boy. He clings to two big dreams: to have loving parents and to become a renowned cricketer. His inspiration is Kapil Dev, Kapil Dev, whose legendary feats light his imagination and push him to practice with stubborn devotion. One day, an old cricket bat turns up in the shed, and Karan becomes convinced it might be the bat Dev used to win the 1983 World Cup; he treats it as a magical talisman that could spark his future.

One day, a scout from the Indian cricket team spots Karan’s raw talent and is deeply impressed by his batting, while the team’s coach, Vijay Crishna, takes notice at a time when India’s cricket team has been navigating a rough patch. The coach’s recognition marks a turning point, offering Karan a path out of the orphanage’s shadows and into a wider world of high-stakes cricket.

Karan and Varun Roy, opening batsmen for the national team, take the field together with captain Rahul Bose. As Karan’s bat sends balls soaring, he quickly becomes the country’s heartbeat, adored by fans and the media alike. Yet not everyone shares the excitement; Raghav, the orphanage bully, Raj Bhansali, resents the newcomer and covets the magic bat for himself, setting up a tense rivalry that runs through the team’s ascent.

Behind the scenes, the two boys forge a bond that goes deeper than cricket. Varun, though surrounded by parents, is emotionally estranged from them, and Karan’s belief that parents are the greatest gift from God leads him to help Varun seek a reconciliation with his father, Nasser Hussain. Varun’s relationship with his mother, Smita Hai, adds another layer to the emotional landscape they navigate as they chase success on the field.

The final, pressure-filled fifth ODI between India and Pakistan becomes a crucible for both friendship and destiny. In a dramatic turn, Raghav destroys the magical bat, leaving Karan shaken and questioning everything. But Varun steadies him and helps him see that the true magic lies not in a bat but in belief, talent, and trust in one another. With renewed confidence and skill, India fights back to win the match, proving that heart and teamwork can triumph over superstition and fear. After the victory, Karan decides to rejoin the team only when he’s older and more prepared, while Varun and his fiancée Malini, Meera Vasudevan, choose to adopt Karan, offering him the family he longed for.
