Gulshan Arora, once a talented and hopeful basketball coach, is now grappling with disillusionment and a fading career. His life takes an unexpected turn when he is assigned to coach a team of players with intellectual challenges. Initially, Gulshan (Aamir Khan) finds this task incredibly daunting. He struggles to connect with his team members, each of whom has their own unique needs and hurdles to overcome. The challenge tests his patience and pushes him to his limits as he tries to motivate and guide them through their difficult journey.

As he begins working with the team, Gulshan slowly starts to see their individual strengths and struggles more clearly. A notable moment occurs when he helps Guddu, one of the players, conquer his deep-seated fear of bathing—a phobia that has caused him immense distress. This small breakthrough marks a turning point, helping Gulshan build a stronger bond with his team. During this period, they welcome a new, lively member, Golu Khan, whose energetic personality and infectious enthusiasm bring a fresh spark to the group, lifting everyone’s spirits and energizing their efforts.

Throughout their journey, the team faces numerous obstacles, but their determination and camaraderie remain unshaken. Their perseverance pays off when they qualify for a major basketball tournament held in Mumbai. The trip to the city becomes a period of personal growth for Gulshan. On his way there, he confronts and conquers his own long-standing fear of lifts—an issue he had previously avoided, but now overcomes during the final stretch of their preparation.

Upon reaching Mumbai, Gulshan receives a startling revelation about his personal life: his mother’s romantic involvement with their family cook. This revelation stirs deep emotional turmoil in him and adds a layer of complexity to his journey. Despite this upheaval, the team fights hard during the tournament, but ultimately, they do not win the final match. Nevertheless, their effort and improved skills are celebrated with pride, emphasizing the importance of their journey over the victory.

In the end, instead of feeling defeated, Gulshan and his team rejoice in the progress they’ve made and the bonds they’ve forged along the way. A poignant realization dawns on Gulshan: the players have been his true teachers, revealing lessons about resilience, acceptance, and joy that he had overlooked. The film concludes on a touching note as Gulshan, who was initially hesitant about fatherhood, learns that his wife, Sunita, is pregnant. This news symbolizes his transformation and readiness to embrace his future role as a father, marking a new chapter in his life filled with hope, love, and newfound purpose.
