-
New Delhi's National Sports stadium..
The stadium is filled to the brim.
-
Only 2 minutes left in the
World Men's Hockey Championship..
-
India is one goal behind Pakistan.
-
Vijay, pass it here!
-
Indian Captain Kabir Khan, Asia's
best center forward pushing his team
-
Come on! Come on!
-
Suspense in the audience.
-
Tension on the faces
of the officials..
-
Like every India-Pakistan match,
-
this match means so much
more than the game itself.
-
Only 1 and a half minutes now
-
and India will have to
fight quickly to save itself.
-
Ball with Pakistani
defender Waseem.. Scoop!
-
But Indian defender Uttam Singh
snatches it.. India is now on attack!
-
And a penalty stroke for India..
-
A breath of life
they desperately need..
-
But who will take this stroke..
-
Ball! Ball!
-
Saini has the ball, but Captain
Kabir is taking the stroke himself..
-
Maybe a good decision.
-
India's best player
is its last hope..
-
Coach, is this the same team
that defeated Pakistan last year?
-
No comments.
-
Do you not think our
team is taking it too easy?
-
Please, please, no comments.
-
Hey, look, it is Kabir!
- Kabir!
-
He is here!
- Kabir.. Kabir.. Kabir,
-
do you have anything to say
about such an embarrassing defeat?
-
Do you really believe
Pakistan's performance was better?
-
Maybe. - Why did you take
the penalty stroke yourself?
-
I made a mistake
-
Rumour has it that the Pakistani
players are your good friends..
-
you were the only Indian to
congratulate them after the match..
-
Excuse me!
-
People are saying..
there is a rumour that you..
-
or someone else in the Indian team
has deliberately thrown this match?
-
Excuse me!
-
Do you think we lost
because someone sold out?
-
What! What did you say?
-
Kabir Khan, has
someone sold out their team?
-
Sold out! You piece of..
-
How dare you..
-
How can you disrespect the media!
-
Disrespect the media!
You son of a.. Come here.
-
You do not know how
to treat journalists!
-
You bloody -.. sold out
-
Come back here!
-
You just witnessed a
frustrated captain of the loosing
-
team attack the media violently.
-
His outburst cannot
hide the fact that there..
-
..is definitely
something fishy going on.
-
We have our answers.
-
But it is now up to
you to decide whether
-
Kabir Khan has played
dirty with the country or not.
-
Satyavrat Yadav,
National Stadium, New Delhi..
-
News from the world of sports.
-
Pakistan has become the
new Hockey World Champions
-
after defeating India by one goal.
-
Today the Chairman of the
Hockey Association denounced
-
Kabir Khan, declared he
did his country wrong.
-
And all this is thanks to you..
the Indian public.
-
We have two special guests..
-
Down with Kabir!
-
What do you think? Did
Kabir Khan fix the match?
-
Do not know if he fixed the match,
but we lost because of him.
-
And what would you say?
-
These people should
be hung upside down.
-
And you?
-
These kind of people should have moved
to Pakistan during the partition.
-
Down with Kabir!
-
The public is upset with
the team's performance.
-
And Kabir Khan has
conveniently disappeared.
-
He was not at the hockey stadium, nor
the Sports Authority of India Campus.
-
Where is Kabir Khan?
-
Do not look back mother, let us go.
-
How can I not, Kabir..
-
Your grandfather saved every
penny to build this house..
-
Your father's first pay check
went into making these windows..
-
I stepped into this
home as a young bride..
-
Whatever happens, I know all these
people will stand by us, trust me.
-
My master
-
TRAITOR
-
Do not look there, son.
-
You can close your eyes if
you can not bear to see it..
-
I want to see everything.
-
TRAITOR
-
Come son. Let us go!
-
The third colour of
your being, that was I
-
Papa, papa, I want to see
what a traitor looks like.
-
Come, see!
-
Your tune was the rhythm of my life
-
Just some food for the road..
-
Do you want us to be
thrown out of the neighbourhood?
-
My divine master, you are my pride
-
My master, my life is yours to take
-
So, what have you decided?
-
Uttamji, you are always
harping on the same thing.
-
What should we do about the coach?
-
Hey, why don't you
become their coach?
-
The Women's Hockey World Cup
is just three months away.
-
The team cannot just go
without any training..
-
No matter how much you
train them, they will loose..
-
The Indian Women's hockey
team has never achieved anything
-
and it never will.
-
It is a government trip.
-
Why do you not go as their coach?
-
The team will be out in a
couple of matches. Exit!
-
You and your wife
could enjoy a holiday.
-
I do not get it - why do you not
take women's hockey seriously.
-
And we do no get why
you take it so seriously.
-
Uttamji, Indian women
are born to cook and clean.
-
They cannot run
around in short skirts.
-
How can an Association
member say such things?
-
It is because we are
in the Association
-
and have travelled around the world,
that we can say such things.
-
Look, you have done your part and
selected the top 16 Indian players.
-
Punjab, Tamil Nadu,
Jharkand, Andhra, Railways.
-
You have even been to
remote Manipur and Mizoram.
-
But now where will you
find a coach? From the moon?
-
Is this also the girls' fault?
-
No, It is not the girls' fault.
-
It is the fault, of people like
you with expectations from them.
-
No sponsors.. no viewers..
no TV coverage, nor media..
-
Now which coach will want to jump
into this mess to ruin his career?
-
Is there anyone? No one.
-
There is one man.
-
Who?
-
Kabir.
-
Who?
-
Kabir Khan.
-
The Kabir Khan who..
-
Yes that one.
-
Since when has he developed
an interest in women's hockey?
-
He even left men's hockey years ago.
-
No one has seen him
for six-seven years.
-
You can see him now.
-
Where?
-
Outside. In the reception.
-
Do not attack the opposing
team's goal but their minds.
-
You will win the goal automatically.
-
Sir
- Hmm?
-
You have been called inside.
-
Sir
- Kabir.
-
How many years has it..
-
Seven years, three months.. ten,
eleven, twelve, thirteen
-
7 years, 3 months, 14 days.
-
What.. what were you
doing all these years?
-
I was preparing for this meeting.
-
He wants to be the coach of
the Indian Women's Hockey Team.
-
You are not a child Mr. Kabir Khan.
-
You know in a country like ours,
-
a women's team exists just
as a formality, not a reality.
-
Your reputation is already..
-
And you wish to redeem your
name by coaching this team.
-
A team that is not fit to play
against European high schools.
-
This is exactly the team I want.
-
I do not understand..
-
I do not think you would.
-
So shall I consider myself hired?
-
In any case, you do
not have another coach.
-
I have done all I could,
-
but you should think about it.
-
I have.
-
Kabir this not a team.
It is a graveyard.
-
Why are you burying in it?
-
This team will never get
a better coach than you.
-
But think about yourself.
-
I am thinking about myself.
-
You have changed.
You have changed a lot.
-
I have not changed. Nothing has.
-
You know we did not lose
that match because of you.
-
You did all you could to
score a goal against Pakistan
-
But they scored against me, my team,
my country.. and my family.
-
Everybody is allowed one mistake.
-
Everybody?
-
Kabir, why have you come back?
-
To help this team to
win the World Cup.
-
Which is impossible..
-
Is what needs to be done.
-
when are your 16 girls coming?
-
They should reach here tomorrow
morning from their respective states.
-
States.. nothing has changed.
-
There were states then,
there are states now..
-
There you go..
-
Well ma'am, once again it looks like
-
the Association has
dumped all of India on us.
-
So these are the best?
-
That's what they say.
-
Wasn't she the
goalkeeper for the Railways?
-
What was her name?
-
Vidya.. Vidya Sharma.
-
Heard she got married
and quit hockey?
-
Well she's here..
-
100 rupees? My foot!
Is the meter for decoration?
-
The meter is broken, you
will have to give me 100.
-
I will give you 100 slaps!
- What sort of talk is that?
-
The kind you will understand! Take the
50 or I will shove the hockey stick!
-
Don't get angry.
-
Your head will
explode one of these days.
-
But grandma, you are not
saying anything to him.
-
Is he my baby or are you?
-
I am.
- So?
-
Cool down, come, come.. drink it in.
-
Hey! What the.. you brats!
-
Hey Komal!
-
These pansies! Thought
I'd show them how to play!
-
You haven't come
here to play with boys!
-
No.. just wanted to check out
-
whether these Delhi dudes can play.
-
There's no way I'm letting my
girl play in a big city like Delhi.
-
Come on. Let's go,
get back in the car
-
Oh come now! We have come this far..
-
Let her do what she wants. After all,
-
she will be playing a home
maker for the rest of her life.
-
I will never give up playing!
-
Oh yeah? What will you feed
your husband when he is hungry?
-
This!
-
Enough! I don't want
my girl playing hockey.
-
Once she slips out of our grasp,
who will ask for her hand?
-
Let them try!
-
Gul, your grandfathers,
your father, your brother
-
all have excelled in
this game, my dear.
-
Now it is your turn.
Don't let the Iqbals down.
-
Name please.
- Ho?
-
Ho? Name. What is your name?
-
Soimoi.
-
I asked for your name.
Not your medical condition.
-
Soimoi.
-
Is that your name?
- Ho.
-
Ho again? Your full name..
name! Name!
-
Soimoi Kerketa. She
doesn't understand English.
-
And you are?
- Rani (Queen)
-
Have you escaped from an asylum?
What do you want?
-
Rani Dispotta.
-
Are you from the travelling theatre?
-
The stadium won't be available
till the new year. Go away!
-
Ghamorni.. state board.. Jharkhand..
-
Oh dear!
-
These two are hockey players!
-
Ho, ho, ho!
-
Name?
- Nethra Reddy.
-
So you are a Madrasi?
-
Telegu.
- Tamil.
-
Not Tamil, Telegu.
-
Same thing. What's the difference
between Tamil and Telegu?
-
The same difference that is
there between Punjabi and Bihari.
-
Oh really?
-
Can I go?
-
What?
-
Ho ho!
-
Man! Look at that vanilla ice
cream amidst all this chocolate!
-
Must be heading to a
disco or a nightclub..
-
Looks like they lost their way.
-
You think they are players?
-
Definitely players. But not here..
-
Ya? Wonder what the going rates are..
-
Why don't you ask them? They
won't get our language anyway
-
Hey, how much are those melons for?
-
What the.. They understand Hindi!
-
Thought they were Chinese or Nepali..
-
Molly Zimik, Manipur.
Mary Ralte, Mizoram.
-
Wow! You have come from the
furthest reaches of India.
-
You are our special guests. Welcome!
-
What.. are you not happy?
-
Would you be happy being treated
like an alien in your own country?
-
Bindia, Aliya how are you?
-
Pretty fit.
-
How's your injury Gunjan?
-
An injury madam will take
its own sweet time to go.
-
You are the senior players.
Behave like one.
-
Be respectful around the new coach.
-
Respect, madam, will
take its own time to come.
-
Sukhlal! Become older!
-
My name is Kabir Khan.
I'm the Coach
-
of the Indian National
Women's Hockey Team..
-
which I have been
told are you girls.
-
All the players here, Krishnaji?
-
Yes sir. Only one's missing..
Uh, Preeti Sabarwal
-
Reporting time was 10 am, wasn't it?
-
Excuse me!
-
Is this the
registration for the women's team?
-
The registration for the Indian
National Women's team is over.
-
Bloody hell! I'm Preeti Sabarwal.
-
Bloody hell Preeti Sabarwal!
You are very late. Try next year.
-
Sorry?
- Next year.
-
Sorry?
- Next year!
-
Everybody, fall in line please!
-
Come on everyone, line up.
-
She is a good player, sir.
-
I will be the judge of who is a good
player or a bad player Krishnaji.
-
Thank you.
-
You.. you can't keep out
a state team captain..
-
Which state team's captain are you?
- Chandigarh
-
Is this the Chandigarh team?
-
No.
-
But I'm a captain of a state team.
-
And I'm the coach of the
Indian National Women's Team.
-
I cannot hear or see
the names of states.
-
I can only hear the name
of one country - India.
-
And in that team, there is
no place for late comers.
-
Everyone understand that?
-
OK.. OK, kit up.
-
Kit up and do 10
rounds in exactly 7 minutes.
-
If you are done in 7 minutes,
come join the team.
-
If not, take the train
back to Chandigarh.
-
Sir, 7 minutes!
-
Sshhh, Krishnaji.
-
Now each player will step
forward and introduce herself.
-
You!

Balbir Kaur, Punjab

-
Once more loudly.
-
Vidya Sharma, India
-
Thank you. You are on the team.
-
Anyone else who is playing for Punjab,
Himachal, Tamil Nadu, Railways?
-
Understand this once and for all,
because I won't repeat it.
-
This team needs only those
players who first play for India,
-
then for their teammates,
-
and then if they have any
life left, for themselves.
-
Not those who are playing for a
Government job or a Railway flat. Hmmm?
-
Ho!
- Ho?
-
Let's try one more time.
Come, please.

So?

I am so happy to meet you!
-
Yay! Go dance then!
-
On the list this is my bed.
-
There's the list. Go sleep there.
-
Forget it Molly!
-
Correct.
-
Hello! I am Nethra.
- Vidya.
-
I know. You saved 4 goals in
the South Zone tournament.
-
Didn't save them,
just happened somehow.
-
It was all luck.
-
Only good players have good 'luck'.
-
Whoa.. what's this?
-
Ho?
-
What is this?
-
'Moke daayar se laglak'
-
She is saying a branch scraped her
while travelling on an elephant.
-
You came to Delhi on an elephant?
-
No, only till Gha-morni.
(morni - peacock)
-
Peacocks? What peacock?
Peacocks, elephants..
-
You live in a zoo?
-
Jharkhand. We are from Jharkhand.
[Jhadi=bush]
-
Oh! Lots of bushes there?
-
Jungle. It is a jungle there.
-
Jungle? Are you Junglees?
-
You eat snakes and scorpions?
I hope there aren't any in your bag?
-
Are you upset?
-
Alright! Here
- you sleep on the floor.
-
What are you doing?
- Sorry?
-
Nothing to be sorry about..
move this..
-
What the
- What do you think you're doing?
-
This is my bed.
-
Did you not see
this big bundle here?
-
So?
-
So? I put it here first,
so the bed is mine.
-
Just because you dumped this bundle,
it is your bed?
-
Of course! Haven't you
ever been on a state bus?
-
I have reserved this bed first!
-
It is mine on the list.
-
Oh you.. what the..
-
I will smash your face!
-
Hey kid!
-
Get here.
-
C'mon!
-
There is a time and
place for every fight.
-
Save this one for another day
- when you have the upper hand.
-
Get out!
-
Come. Be on this side with us.
-
The travelling theatre
would have been better!
-
I am told that from
the 250 million girls
-
in this country you are
the 16 best hockey players.
-
You're lucky, but also unlucky.
-
Because now I'll be the judge.
-
For me, you are only 16
girls who dabble in hockey.
-
Don't expect anymore.
You'll regret it.
-
Ten kilometers. Everyone Come on!
-
Come on, girls!
-
Training us for a
marathon or a match?
-
Hey!
-
Running at 4am won't make
us better hockey players.
-
How dare he treat national
players like this! We're not kids.
-
Does he think we
don't know how to train?
-
Move,
-
you..
-
Take your positions.
What's going on?
-
What's the problem?
-
You are playing right in.
-
But sir..
-
I think you will
play better as right in.
-
But.. I have always played center
forward for our Haryana team..
-
Ok, go! Play for the Haryana team.
Everybody in position!
-
What is it?
-
Coach sir has instructed me
to play on the forward line.
-
Go home and play.
-
Listen
- push her out and take her place.
-
But the coach has asked me
to play in this position.
-
So if the coach asks you
to jump in a well, you will?
-
But the coach..
-
Look, coaches will come and go.
But you will be with us, right?
-
Yes, but coach..
-
See, she's leaving to
drink water. Grab her place.
-
Don't take my name.
-
What's going on?
-
I play forward every year.
-
Yes but in this team
you are the centre..
-
This team or that team it
doesn't make a difference.
-
It makes a difference to the team.
-
You're a senior player,
a strong player.
-
The team needs you at centre half.
Go to your new position.
-
Sorry.
-
Hmmm.
-
Out.
- What..
-
Sit out and let
the others play.. Out!
-
Move!
-
Good goal! Very good Preeti Sabarwal!
-
Come on everyone, back to one!
-
Komal! Pass the ball!
-
I'm free, dammit, pass the ball!
-
Komal! Komal!
-
What was that?
-
I scored a goal sir!
-
Out!
-
But you didn't see
what that girl was up to!
-
I saw everything that's
going on here.
-
When she scored the goal
there was no one around her,
-
But when you scored, she was there.
-
And the only one in
the scoring position ..
-
Out!
-
Everybody can only see the
Memsahib but are blind to her faults.
-
The British have gone but left
behind their Memsahibs in cities.
-
Just step in my village once!
-
If I don't tie you up with the
buffalo's tail, you can change my name.
-
Coach took Memsahib's side.
-
He's only a coach, not God.
-
Come let us rest for a while.
-
Hey!
-
Out..
-
So chowmein!
Get angry once more and
-
They will pour chilli
sauce on you and chew you up.
-
Come, come here!
-
Take it, take it,
take it, damn you!
-
Moka! Moka (Pass to me!)
-
Stop it, stop that, stop the ball..
-
You piece of.. go kill
yourself or I will kill you.
-
The bloody..
-
What happened?
-
Did you not see?
This witch let them score a goal!
-
You know she can not
understand Punjabi.
-
She should have learnt
it before coming here!
-
She was only supposed to have
learnt hockey. Which she has.
-
Apologize to her.
-
I have never apologized
- not even to my father!
-
Out..
- What!
-
Out! Out!
-
Why do you not tell her off?
-
She is not worth talking to
-
I have always said
- do not play with Junglees!
-
You look very angry.
-
You looked like you
would break her head..
-
Should I break yours?
-
Sir, how long should
these girls be benched?
-
Don't know.
-
I do not think anyone can teach
these girls to play hockey together.
-
Teaching them hockey
is a long way off.
-
I need to teach them
something else first.
-
Good evening!
-
What is going on?
-
New sleeping arrangements?
-
Old.. according to the old list.
-
So? Tell them the list tore..
-
come on, go to your old place.
-
No girl will stay with
another girl from her own state.
-
It is the Coach's order.
-
So let him say it. Who cares?
-
Everyone else has agreed.
-
If you have any
problems speak to the coach.
-
Bake in sun all day,
switch beds at night..
-
Is this a National
camp or a refugee camp?
-
Why doesn't he make every
one sleep on the benches?
-
How are you?
-
I have had enough, please come back.
-
I can not come.
-
It is uncle Samir's sister's wedding.
Mom and dad asked me to call you.
-
Rakesh you know this
is the National camp-
-
But Vidya..
-
Look, family comes first,
games later..
-
But, father-in-law..
-
Look, you insisted,
so we let you play.
-
Now we are calling you,
so come back by the next train.
-
Yes.. but I..
-
Rakesh please understand.
I cannot come.
-
I have waited a long
time for this camp.
-
Vidya, you are a saint.
But I am not.
-
I cannot keep waiting.
The wedding is day after tomorrow.
-
Come if you want or forget it.
-
So?
-
They wanted a
traditional daughter-in-law..
-
..grandchildren, the
whole work from me..
-
..but all I have is
this hockey stick.
-
Oh! Is this how you
scare them away?
-
If you want, you can go
home for a couple of days.
-
If I go now, I will not come back.
-
It is either this side. Or that.
-
But.. When you were
getting married..
-
I told them everything.
They were thrilled then..
-
I had a job thanks to the sports
quota as well as a government flat.
-
So now?
-
They have gotten used to the flat,..
-
..now they want somebody
who will take care of it.
-
You think It is crime to
play hockey in this country?
-
No, no you can play politics,
cricket..
-
you sure can play cricket!
-
But hockey?
-
It is a little difficult.
-
Have you heard of
Mohammad bin Tuglaq?
-
Is he cute?
-
He was an emperor
- five hundred years ago.
-
Crazy guy! Drove everyone mad.
-
Stopped making gold and
silver coins for copper ones.
-
Out in five years.
-
That is how this coach
is going to go.
-
Thinks he can do anything.
-
If you have such a sharp brain,
why do you not use when you play?
-
He will be out in a few days.
The Association will kick him out.
-
The system does not work like this.
-
The name suits him
- Tuglaq.
-
Molly, Balbir,
-
Komal,
-
Bindia, Aliya -
-
You are benched.
-
So till we do not play by his
rules he will not let us play.
-
Tuglaq has lost it.
-
Alright. We are no less.
-
We will now play
only at the tournament.
-
Sir! Hey sir!
-
Sir, I would like to play too.
-
Ok, Ok.. I am really sorry.
-
Sorry
-
Hey, ok enough.. come on,
accept my apology
-
Accepting it, or should I hit you?
-
Sorry.
-
Really sorry.
-
Actually, she is not a bad player.
-
When she whacks the ball hard,
it takes four girls to stop it.
-
Admiring your enemy?
-
Please do not pull my leg, didi.
-
The coach has already
stopped us from playing.
-
And then..
-
Oh man..
-
Oh.. oh!
-
Come didi, let us play..
-
If we play, we will play in our
own positions. Shut up and sit down.
-
God, look there is bull chasing her..
-
You've already scored your forty
two goals. I haven't even started.
-
Sir let me also get a
pardon from the memsahib.
-
Hey missy, do you want
to accept my apology?
-
Or do you prefer going to the jail?
- What?
-
Look, if you do not
pardon me, I will fight you..
-
in the fight either I will smash
your head or you will smash mine
-
and we will have to go to jail..
-
Anyway.. so tell me do you accept my
apology or should we go to the police?
-
Time is up. Come on!
-
Krishnaji, is anyone injured?
-
Ok, now we will
reverse the play order.
-
Defenders will attack
and attackers will defend.
-
Sorry sir!
-
Go attack! Ball on the centre.
-
With all your heart! Come on!
-
In the World Cup final,
the team lost to Pakistan.
-
Wasn't he the team Captain?
-
Captain?
-
He was Pakistan's captain,
in an Indian uniform.
-
What are you saying?
-
It is not only me. Everyone says so.
-
So how did they make him the coach?
-
This is India. Anything is possible.
-
He mentioned taking
us to the World Cup.
-
He has already sold his country once.
-
This time he may just
sell us as well!
-
You guys will keep scrubbing
shoes for the rest of your life.
-
Come, see who is downstairs.
- Who?
-
Take a wild guess
-
Is it a film star?
-
Abhimanyu Singh!
-
You are kidding!
-
What!
-
Go see for yourself.
Bro is here to meet someone.
-
He maybe your 'brother'!
-
But who is he here for?
Come! Let us see!
-
Let us go
-
She is a sly one.. did not
tell anyone she is his fiancée..
-
Coach has given her
leave till tomorrow morning..
-
Wow!
-
Leave till tomorrow morning.
-
Why, whatever will
they do all night long?
-
It is confirmed.
-
They are making me the Vice Captain.
-
Bullshit!
-
Really? I do not believe this!
-
I knew it. How long will
these clowns hold out.
-
Vice Captain of the
Indian frikkin cricket team!
-
Now you watch how I teach
all these seniors.
-
You see who rules this team now!
-
Get out of the way everyone!
It is my turn now.
-
Why do you not quit all this now?
-
Quit what?
-
Your silly stick & ball game
-
Come on baby, forget about it now.
-
Forget about it and do what?
-
Do what? Live it up!
-
Be with me!
Travel the world with me.
-
Live life king-size, with the King.
-
As the wife of the Vice
Captain of the Indian Cricket team!
-
Wife?
-
Oh, forgot to tell you.
-
Had a chat with your dad
over drinks yesterday.
-
I told him I am all for it.
-
He said we do not want
to delay it anymore.
-
So it is all fixed.
-
Anyway, my career is all set.
-
And what about my career?
-
What?
-
What about my career?
-
What career?
-
Abhi, I am in the Indian hockey team
-
Yeah but that is not a career,
Preeti. That is just a stupid game.
-
So is cricket
-
Preeti! I know you like to think of
-
your little dribbling and
stick work as a big thing.
-
But let us face it
- it is not exactly cricket is it?
-
Look at her enjoying herself!
-
Damn it, let us go play.
-
Come on, we have been rotting on
this same bench for the last 7 days.
-
We are players, not
Association members who sit around.
-
Come on. Come on!
-
I will show him my game!
-
If he is not forced to
make me a forward again,
-
my name is not Bindia Naik.
-
Or his is not Tuglaq.
-
Sorry sir, it will not happen again.
We are sorry.
-
Sorry
-
Ok, you can play center half.
-
Thank God sir.
The situation is under control now.
-
No, Krishnaji. It is just
about to go out of control.
-
Right! Left! Right! Left!
-
Faster! Faster!
Faster! Run faster! Move.
-
Faster! Faster! Run faster!
I mean FAST!
-
Right, left, right! To the ball!
-
Ok, let's go! Right! Left!
-
Pass the ball! Make a pass! Pass,
pass, pass, pass, pass, pass PASS!
-
Thank you.
-
Trap and pass! Move the ball ahead!
Come on, move it!
-
No player will keep the
ball for more than 5 seconds.
-
Can you count? 5-4-3-2-1!
-
Faster! Faster! Run faster!
I mean FAST! Quick, quick!
-
Faster, faster,
-
What is your problem? Do you not see
the ball, or are you afraid of it?
-
Want to practice with a
tennis ball for a few days?
-
Left, right, left!
Leave the ball, sit!
-
Go, right!
-
Go to hell!
-
Trap, look and pass!
Stop, look and move it ahead..
-
Do not move yourself forward.
Move the ball forward!
-
Do one thing pick up the ball.
-
PICK IT UP! Put it in
your pocket and go home.
-
Go play on the Chandigarh team
from tomorrow. No need to play here.
-
And you! What are you so angry about?
-
Raise your game first
and then raise your voice.
-
Once more if I hear you shout out,
-
you will be out!
-
Hey you! Why are you the center half?
-
Because you are the senior
most player in the team.
-
Your job is not to push the
forward line but to teach them.
-
And one more thing.
-
There can only be one
bully in every team.
-
And for this team, it is me.
-
You! Call this a pass?
-
You are only good enough to
plough fields in your village.
-
Forget about hockey!
-
And why are you standing around?
Go get the ball!
-
Right, left, right,
-
left, right, left! Relax!
-
Nethra!
-
Krishnaji! Give her water
and take her out! Quickly!
-
So! You are India's best players!
-
You will go to the
World Championship! Hah!
-
To raise India's flag!
-
The Association is right.
-
How will this lot ever play hockey!
-
They cannot play as one team.
-
How the hell will they
ever win a World Championship!
-
What are you staring at?
She is unconscious not dead!
-
Krishnaji! Take her away! Out!
-
I had said it on the first day.
-
This team needs only those
who first play for India,
-
then for their team mates
-
and then if there is any
life left, for themselves.
-
Let's start again.
-
Right!
-
So! Did you see what happens when
you let the coach think he is God!
-
The blood will not stop.
-
I warned you guys.
-
Do you want to eat something?
-
Wake up at 4am, run for 20 km. And
on the field, he does not let us play.
-
What kind of a camp is this?
-
Does it hurt a lot?
-
Here! It hurts here.
-
He insulted us!
-
Hit with the ball!
-
He knows damn well you
cannot speak English.
-
But you have to learn it!
-
What you have not learnt in your
whole life, learn it in a day!
-
Else get out of the team.
-
Hey, he cannot throw you out!
-
Do not worry, I will teach you.
-
How can he cut you out of the team?
-
What do you say Aliya?
-
No freedom to eat, to move around
and when we play, he insults us.
-
This is not a primary school. Each
girl is a National level player.
-
A champion from her state
- that is why she is here.
-
If there is any failure
amongst us, It is him.
-
Sold his team out in the World Cup!
-
Was thrown out of
the team, the country.
-
What else can I say?
I am ashamed to say any more.
-
Does it hurt?
-
I have a spray..
-
How is Nethra?
-
OK. The doctor says she will be
back to practice in a couple of days.
-
Practice? Have you lost it?
-
From now on, there
will be no practice!
-
There will be no
practice from tomorrow!
-
Look here..
-
You look here!
We know you like him
-
but you should also realise
that the team is on this side.
-
It is time you choose
which side you're on.
-
Yes.
-
Definitely.
-
I have thought about it.
-
Now only the Association can
decide how this team should run.
-
The way teams have
always run in this country.
-
Or the way Tuglaq wants it!
-
Let us sign this.
-
Now, it is either
the Coach or our team.
-
Sign this, Gul!
-
Sir..
-
Hmmm? Have some..
-
Wasn't that too much?
-
They are girls after all.
How much can you push them?
-
If you look for the strength of boys..
-
I am not looking for strength.
I am looking for team spirit.
-
You do not need strength to make
a team. You need team spirit.
-
But sir, at this rate, you
will become their enemy.
-
If by making me an enemy
they can become a team,
-
then it is a small
price to pay, Krishnaji.
-
Why are you not on the field?
-
What is the matter?
-
The team does not want
to practice with you.
-
What rubbish!
-
We want a new coach.
-
I will give you one -
-
Why Krishnaji? Why will you hit us?
-
We are not the ones
who sold our country!
-
Quiet!
- Sir!
-
7 years.
-
After 7 years I came back to hockey,
with the belief that this time
-
I will beat the one thing that
defeated my team once and for all.
-
But today, once again,
I have lost to it.
-
You do not have a problem with me.
-
You have a problem
-
with the fact that instead of
making you play against each other,
-
I am forcing you to
play with one another.
-
Because I have forced
you to think about..
-
..your team before you
think about yourself.
-
Forced you to play for India
before you play for your own state.
-
Fine. You have won. I have lost.
-
But I am not sorry loosing to you.
-
I am sorry I have
lost to my country.
-
Which even after taking my blood,
sweat, my love,..
-
..my life, does not believe
that I played for it once.
-
And I will play for it all my life.
-
I resign as the coach of this team.
-
Please, just think it over, Sir.
-
You have worked so hard.
-
Today is my last day in this camp.
-
Before I leave, I am
taking the staff out for lunch.
-
You are welcome to
join us if you wish.
-
No obligations.
-
Hi beautiful! Come on,
join us babes! Hey come on!
-
She's red hot ya! Hey baby, hey!
-
Harassing girls, are you? Try it!
-
Hey! Hey, how..
-
Balbir!
-
Hit him!
-
Do not let him go!
-
Not from behind. Have guts
to attack from the front.
-
You see, in hockey
there are no cowards.
-
Is this a team or an army of devils?
-
I told you, Krishnaji.
-
It is not strength,
but spirit that makes a team.
-
For the first time,
I have seen team spirit.
-
Sir.. I was just..
just trying to say that..
-
I mean.. let
sleeping dogs lie.. I mean..
-
Hey tell him!
-
Sir what she means.. what we all
-
Tomorrow morning, 5 am sharp.
-
I want everyone on the field.
-
Chak De! India (Go India!)
-
Come, come, come.
-
We will run two more
kilometers today.
-
Come on guys!
-
Do something, do something
-
My veins are bursting
-
O please do something
-
Do something, do something
-
For talk and sermons bite the dust
-
It is time to do something
-
Be stubborn if that
is what it takes
-
Do or die
- all is at stake!
-
Chak De! India (Go India!)
-
In the fighting kite,
in the riot of might
-
In the games and the fair,
in the bumpy trains so bare
-
In the sweetness of sugarcane,
in the clothes of the rich or vain
-
Seek and you will find,
heat that bricks bind
-
A colour has emerged,
and it is spreading converged
-
This colour of the reign,
is embedded in your veins
-
Stand immovable, invincible,
obstinate in times of trouble
-
Scraped and scarred,
move on even if marred
-
Be stubborn if that
is what it takes
-
Do or die
- all is at stake!
-
Chak De! India (Go India!)
-
How can you go?
- Why?
-
Because we are getting married!
-
What?
-
You can not go on the 25th,
we are getting married on the 2nd
-
What?
-
I have fixed the dates after
discussing it with your parents
-
And me? Do you not need
to discuss this with me?
-
What is the point of discussing it?
-
You want to get
married to me, do you not?
-
But, not like this! I need time.
-
What for?
-
I am playing for
the World Cup, Abhi!
-
Have you gone insane?
-
You want to postpone our
wedding for the World Cup?
-
What if it was your World cup?
-
That is a totally different.
It is the Cricket World cup.
-
It is really important.
-
This is really important.. for me
-
More important than our marriage?
-
I have to go. Good night!
-
Go. Go play the World cup..
-
If you loose you will become my wife.
-
If you win, you will become my wife..
-
It is not like when you come back,
-
the whole country
will remember your name.
-
One thing I promise
you Mr. Abhimanyu..
-
This will definitely happen.
-
The team is shaping up well, sir.
-
The captain of this team
will be Vidya.
-
Congratulations, Vidya!
-
Give it a break.
-
I have nothing to say to you.
-
For the first time something
good is happening. Take part in it.
-
You already did!
-
The way Bindia is using her brain..
-
Do you think it is right
for her to be on the team?
-
I do not know Krishnaji..
but it is also not right..
-
..to keep the most
experienced player off the team.
-
I do not think we can..
deal with her
-
We cannot win without her either.
-
Is this not your
World Cup silver medal?
-
What are you doing with it?
-
Trying to scrub it into gold.
-
If I ever need to sell it
in the flea market,
-
at least I will get a good price.
-
Mr. Kabir, it is best if you
forget about the World Cup.
-
And tell these girls as well.
-
The ones who you have
given such high hopes too.
-
But our deal was to train
this team for the World Cup.
-
It was not like we signed on a legal
document you cannot hold us up to it.
-
You discussed it in
front of me, Mr. Tripathi.
-
We will discuss it in
front of you once more.
-
Look, on one hand,
-
there is the Indian men's team
which at least gets a bronze medal.
-
And on the other, there
is this team of misfits.
-
But this team is ready
for the World Cup!
-
Tomorrow if they are ready for
the moon, we should send them? Huh?
-
This team can not go the World Cup.
It is decided.
-
Be honest. Tell us
you are taking money..
-
..from the Women's team
to give to the Men's team.
-
You guys are athletes.
-
Why do you want to get involved
in things that do not concern you?
-
Shall we?
-
But Mr. Tripathi!
-
Let us have a match.
-
What?
-
Yes. Let us have a match.
Between my team and your team.
-
You mean Men's team v/s Women's team?
-
I mean between my team and your team.
-
If we loose, we loose.
But if we win, then - World Cup.
-
Think about what you
are saying, Mr. Kabir.
-
Do not make Pandavas' (Indian
mythological characters) bet
-
You will be left standing naked.
-
It has already happened to you once.
-
All right. Day after morning.
-
But we need time to train!
-
Day after - yes or no?
-
Mr. Tripathi.. - Day after morning.
We will meet on the field.
-
Even your team needs to practice
-
Come out..
-
Shit!
-
We will never win.
And by some chance, if we do..
-
Chance! Huh!
-
Imagine how many
goals we will loose by.
-
And once we lose,
it is over forever!
-
What have you done, sir?
-
We are like sitting ducks.
-
Ducks? I have belief in this team.
-
Does this team believe in itself?
-
Come on! Let us go.
-
Look, you are not
playing against these boys.
-
Come on, get ready! Hurry!
-
Do not think
- here let me have it.
-
Do not think you are
playing against 16 boys.
-
You are fighting
everyone in this country
-
who thinks girls can
never match up to men,
-
cannot hold a job as well as a man,
-
cannot make decisions like men..
-
You are fighting each fool
who has forgotten that
-
if a girl has given life to him,
-
she can do anything. Anything.
-
It is a huge match
perhaps bigger than you or me.
-
And that is why I should be
telling you play fearlessly,
-
play together,
play with all your might,
-
play like this, play like that..
-
but I will just say one thing
-
Chak De!
-
Good morning, ladies & gentlemen!
-
Good morning sir!
-
But sir! That was a foul!
-
Very good! Well played!
-
Good job boys!
-
Come on! Come on girls! Well played!
-
Don't tire yourselves running!
Smaller passes!
-
Should we stop if
you have had enough, Mr. Kabir?
-
Or do you still want to play?
-
The match isn't over yet.
-
Your girls could not
even reach the boys' half.
-
You cannot expect anything from them.
- Mr. Yadav what..
-
Well, he's right Krishnaji.
-
We always said it - These are
good old fashioned Indian girls -
-
How will they run around
in shorts and mini - skirts?
-
Yes, Mr. Yadav,
tell them like it is.
-
What can you do? You will fall
flat on your faces, you'll see!
-
Oh, Mr. Yadav! You have fallen!
Will you get up by yourself?
-
Or should I ask the
girls to give you a hand?
-
Oye!
-
Chak De!
-
Attack, girls!
-
Yes!
-
Go Komal!
-
They played well! Good defence!
-
Good job! Well played girls!
-
Should we (send them) sir?
- Send? Where?
-
Oh, this?
-
Yes.. send them
-
Yes! Kabir! World Championship!
-
When could I imagined
that this would happen
-
When did I ever believe,
but it has, it has indeed happened
-
Pinch me, I am not in my senses
-
Hold my feet,
they are soaring in the air
-
Are my feet on the clouds,
or is this a land of illusion
-
Now it has taken off,
our boat has taken sail
-
It is the taste of the sky,
after eons
-
My trembling heart beats hard,
is it day or night?
-
You have finally been magnanimous,
God! Thank you!
-
Are my feet on the clouds,
or is this a land of illusion
-
Now it has taken off,
our boat has taken sail
-
The mates have embarked,
the paths are unknown
-
But we can do it,
I know there's a way
-
The dreams we saw blindfolded,
we live today
-
Are my feet on the clouds,
or is this a land of illusion
-
Now it has taken off,
our boat has taken sail
-
Greetings from Kapil Verma!
-
Welcome to Melbourne's State Hockey
and Netball Centre!
-
In the World Women's
Hockey Championship,
-
today India are playing 6 times
World Champions Australia.
-
The teams are greeting each other -
-
Australia exudes the confidence
of World Champions..
-
The teams pay their
respects to their flags..
-
A deep sense of pride in the eyes
of Coach Kabir Khan and his team..
-
Excitement in the stands..
-
Teams are raring to go
and the match begins!
-
Australia has the ball.. Back pass!
-
A long scoop, straight
to India's 25 yard line..
-
Left the Indian defenders behind..
cross pass.. and GOAL!
-
And perhaps the fastest goal in the
history of the World Championship!
-
From the very first minute,
there's pressure on the Indian team..
-
It is alright!
Lots of time. Come on!
-
Coach Kabir trying
to bolster his team..
-
but one more strong attack
from Australia and goal!
-
Goal!
-
The witches kick!
Hey, that's not fair! Anyway..
-
India, Australia's goal.
-
Hey! That big moose kicked
me hard, did you not see that?
-
India, careful!
-
Balbir! Don't argue! Just play
-
Go get your eyes checked!
You need glasses!
-
Be careful! Australia's ball.
-
I'll show you!
-
Hey, that's completely wrong!
Totally unfair!
-
What is she saying?
-
Go back to your goal. - How go back
to your goal! Wrong decision is there!
-
Calm down!
- Wrong! Wrong!
-
Sir, what is she doing?
She will get a card!
-
If you open your mouth one more time,
you will be off. Go back to your goal!
-
You go back, you idiot!
-
A yellow card
and the way out for Balbir..
-
and a penalty corner for Australia..
could be dangerous for India
-
What a pig headed referee?
-
Is she a pig headed idiot or are you?
We are left with ten players now!
-
Krishnaji, give her water..
-
And penalty corner specialist..
-
..Abernathy has been waiting
for this moment.
-
Push, trap, hit and goal!
-
A last ditch attempt to save
the match by Coach Kabir Khan..
-
Didi, where should I hit it?
-
Any where you please
-
Didi, please!
-
Don't ask me. Go ask your captain?
-
Seems a move is made between
senior Bindia Naik and Soimoi but..
-
some confusion between the players..
and once more Australia scores
-
And in the second half, Australia
- 5, India - 0
-
Indian centre forward
Preeti Sabarwal on attack..
-
with her is Right in Komal Chautala..
- Preeti! Pass!
-
both playing the World
Championship for the first time..
-
proving a challenge for Australia..
-
Preeti's off! Dodges one defender,
another one..
-
keeping the ball for so long..
-
Komal's ready.. but Preeti..
doesn't pass..
-
Komal pass!
-
What are you doing, Komal! Pass!
-
Pass Komal! No one on this side!
-
A precious
opportunity lost because of..
-
..the lack of coordination
between the Indian forwards..
-
And the old Indian
attitude strikes again!
-
Good save, good save!
-
Yeah?
- They are playing defense.
-
Get the Coach to use
the Dutch tactic..
-
Ho! Ho!
-
A minor confusion.. Looks like Soimoi
does not understand the referee..
-
And one more penalty
corner for Australia.
-
Match over! Australia - 7, India - 0.
A shameful defeat for India..
-
Well played! - How did you ever
make it to the World Championship?
-
Bindia!
-
Bindia.. What were you up to?
-
Me? Where?
-
What were you doing on the field?
-
Nothing
-
You are not going to play
any more in this Championship!
-
What's so special about her?
-
What?
-
Tell me, what does
she have that I don't?
-
Who?
-
Your captain, Sir.
-
If we have to get down to it,
why don't we just spell it out?
-
Neither of us is naive here
- neither you, nor me..
-
I can do all that she is
doing to be a captain..
-
And much more..
-
Now tell me,
why can I not be captain?
-
You have just answered your question.
-
A team that is not fit to play
against European high schools.
-
And you wish to redeem your name
by coaching such a team.
-
..Association denounced Kabir Khan -
declared he did his country wrong.
-
These kind of people should have moved
to Pakistan during the partition.
-
Someone has sold out?
-
Papa, papa, I want to see
what a traitor looks like.
-
Down with Kabir Khan!
-
Allah.. bring me strength
and bring victory closer
-
After such a debacle
in the first match itself..
-
..it is almost certain that India
will be out of the Championship.
-
There is one chance of survival -
defeating England in tomorrow's match.
-
But looking at India's form
it is highly unlikely.
-
Very good! Pass to Aliya!
-
Come here! Come here everyone! OK!
-
Now we are making
the same mistakes again. - Water..
-
So, set piece A6
- From Balbir to Rani,..
-
..Rani to Molly,
Molly to Gul, Gul to Preeti,
-
Preeti to Komal, from
Komal back to Preeti, ..
-
..from Preeti to Komal
again and Komal to goal..
-
Set-piece A6
- does everyone remember?
-
Yes sir!
- Good! Repeat it!
-
Preeti to Komal, Komal to Preeti,
from Preeti to Gul to Komal.. uh..
-
That's B6
-
I will beat the crap out of anyone
who cannot remember.
-
Balbir.. If you do not
control your temper,..
-
..the situation can
get out of control. OK?
-
Yes sir. - If it becomes a team
of ten again, there is no hope.
-
Is there anything left, now?
- Plenty..
-
Ok, let's begin all
over again. Everybody!..
-
..20 minutes more!
Concentrate on defense! Go!
-
Full power!
Play with all you've got!
-
Greetings and welcome to
the World Championship ..
-
..in Melbourne where England is
playing in Group A for 2 points,
-
but India is fighting to stay
in the Championship.
-
Good!
-
Let's go!
-
The UK Coach has
promised to beat India by..
-
..even more goals than Australia.
-
Maybe that is why there are
not too many spectators around.
-
UK has gone on the attack immediately
Indian players struggling..
-
Half press forward!
-
Komal Chautala blocks..
-
Great job Komal!
-
Balbir, Soimoi! No6
-
Today India seem to
have better coordination..
-
..but the UK
forwards attack once more -
-
And India saves!
- Yes! Good!
-
Hey!
-
Foul!
-
Balbir!
-
Keep calm!
-
I got hurt here! Ok, fine,
guess it's a part of the game
-
That's rubbish!
-
Good Balbir!
-
Thank God, she didn't hit her!
-
20 minutes left in the first half
-
England gets a penalty corner..
could be dangerous for India.
-
Go!
-
And India has made no mistakes.
-
I am confused.
Which one of them is Didi?
-
Chak De!
-
Second half -
India has not given up any goals.
-
But hasn't scored any either.
-
Preeti come on! Fall back!
On the double!
-
Save!
-
Well done! Well done Gunjan!
-
Last 3 minutes of the match..
both teams goalless.
-
England is trying hard to score..
-
But Indian defender Soimoi has the
ball.. Soimoi to Mary.. to Preeti.
-
Pick it up! Pick it up!
-
Preeti I'm free! Pass!
-
Pass Preeti..
-
And goal! Unbelievable!!!
-
Wow! What a goal, Sir!
She made the British ..
-
..forget their English!
Great job Preeti!
-
Jesus! Bloody hell!
What was she doing?
-
Last 20 seconds of the match..
-
And with this final hooter,
the unexpected has happened! ..
-
..India has defeated UK by 1-0
-
Managing to stay in the Championship..
and get a new lease of life!
-
Well played!
- Congratulations!
-
Well played! Well done!
It's a good thing ..
-
..you controlled your temper, Balbir!
-
Let's go girls! Come on!
-
The future may be
unclear but for now,..
-
..India has retained itself
in the World Championship.
-
India v/s Spain!
-
Do something, do something
-
My veins are bursting
-
O please do something
-
A superb goal by Komal Chautala!
-
Do something, do something
-
For talks and sermons bite the dust
-
It is time to do something
-
Be stubborn if that is what it takes
-
Do or die, all is at stake
-
Chak De!
-
Chak de! Ho Chak de India!(Go India!)
-
Keep it up!
-
Didi, can I get some water?
-
Shall I give you a kick instead?
-
Give the battle cry of war
and give it again and again..
-
Don't lag behind in
the race, my friend,
-
let them pull you
back as much as they can
-
Won't budge an inch. Bull headed,
you think? Yes I am!
-
The scraping, the squeazing,
grating of life, be done with it!
-
Preeti has sprinted ahead. Buck up
Komal, Get even in the next match.
-
Do or die, all is at stake
-
Chak de! Ho Chak de India!(Go India!)
-
Surprising everyone
with its sudden rise,
-
Kabir Khan's team is
playing a match that..
-
..may stop it in its tracks tomorrow.
-
If India wins,
It enters the semi finals..
-
..and if it loses,
it is out of the World Cup.
-
Tomorrow India plays Argentina,
a team well known ..
-
..for its rough play
and injuring opponents.
-
Hey! It is a foul!
-
One second! She's hurt!
Krishnaji, go to her!
-
Gul are you alright?
-
Water! Here drink this!
Stretch, stretch..
-
From this moment on, I don't
want to see the ball in our half.
-
Balbir, you play your game.
-
I'll -I'll beat these girls!
-
So beat them. If they hit one of us,
you hit 4. If they hit 4, you hit 8.
-
Rough them so bad that they're scared
of picking up a hockey stick again.
-
Sir- - Don't let them dare come
in the way of Preeti, Komal, Nethra.
-
Attack them. Don't stop
attacking them till they break.
-
Or you break!
-
Forward up!
-
Yes!
-
Chak de!
-
Yes! Yes!
-
The Indian team coached by
Kabir Khan has reached ..
-
..the semi finals
of the Championship.
-
We are in the semi finals!
-
Did you ever doubt it?
-
But now India will be up
against South Korea ..
-
..a team that hasn't let a
single team reach its goal.
-
Man to man marking?
-
Ya. A player behind each player.
This is Korea's game.
-
We will be paralysed by this game,
leave alone scoring goals.
-
Who can crack this kind of game?
-
There is one player.
-
You were right. You do have
something that she just doesn't.
-
And that no other
girl on this team has.
-
Take this.
-
Why?
-
Why?
-
Because right now India needs
its most experienced player.
-
Only you know how to
break man to man marking.
-
The match is about to begin. Go.
-
Go and break it.
-
As expected,
Korea's man to man marking..
-
..has paralysed the Indian forwards..
-
Aliya Bose, Preeti Sabarwal, Komal
Chautala - no player can move an inch..
-
Mary!
-
Substitution! No.5
Bindia Naik on field..
-
There's a sudden shift.. the game
seems to be changing direction..
-
Defenders Bindia Naik and
Gunjan Lakhani are on attack -
-
They are playing in a unique style..
Korean players are confused..
-
And goal!
-
Chak de!
-
Yes!
-
We won!
-
India has reached the
World Championship Finals!
-
By the sound in this stadium,
you can guess what ..
-
..the state of the
Indian team must be.
-
And what state its Coach must be in..
who couple of months ago was stopped
-
from bringing his team
to the Championship.
-
Who could have guessed that one of
the world's best center forwards
-
would score such a
smashing goal in World hockey
-
without even lifting a hockey
stick or entering the field..
-
Hi Bill!
- Well played!
-
You are definitely
going to be the Highest ..
-
..Scorer of the World Championship.
-
But you have got competition. See!
8 goals. Komal's ahead once more
-
You idiots! You have your own
World Championship going on.
-
Hello.. Sukhlalji! Speak up!
-
Amazing Krishnaji! These devils
have been raising quite a hell!
-
With your blessings, Sukhlalji
-
The travelling theatre
had come by, didi..
-
I made it very clear
to them that this is ..
-
..the Indian women
hockey team's ground.
-
It is waiting for its team. I'm not
going to give it out to anyone..
-
Now there will only be
hockey practise here.
-
Hello, here! Speak here! Oof!
-
Hello! I am really missing
your curd rice, Sukhlalji.
-
If you guys win
the World Cup, child
-
I will make curd rice
for you all my life.
-
Don't lose now. Don't lose.
-
We will not, Mr. Sukhlal. We will
lose our lives, but not the game.
-
I was your third colour once
-
Your tune was the rhythm of my life
-
You were my master,
you were my pride
-
My master, my life is yours to take
-
What are you doing here, sir?
-
Look. It is the first time I've seen
a foreigner raise the Indian flag.
-
We have reached the final.
Is it a dream?
-
What do you think?
-
It must be a dream.
-
It is your dream, isn't it?
-
My master, my life is yours to take
-
Thank you very much
for being here ..
-
..Tonight is the night for an
official reception for the finalists.
-
The Federation of International Hockey
is holding a dinner in their honour.
-
So that tonight they can
forget about winning or losing
-
and just celebrate that they are
the two best teams in the world.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, the six times..
-
..World Cup champions,
the team from Australia.
-
Oh.. Sorry! Best of luck!
-
Yes, yes.. Happy Diwali!
-
What's she saying?
-
She's saying.. watch out for the
fireworks tomorrow - Excuse me!
-
Do we have to wear this?
-
It is a pain..
-
Do you care for a drink?
- No, thank you
-
What is it Nethra?
- Nothing..
-
What is it?
- What do you mean?
-
I mean why did you call me here?
-
Me? You're the one who called me
-
Did a mad dog bite me?
No way I would call you!
-
I have called you.
-
You.. but why sir?
-
To tell you that tomorrow
we are going to lose the finals.
-
What? Why?
-
Why?
-
Because tomorrow,
two of our players
-
are going to play for Australia.
-
No, no, sir, it is not like that..
-
What do you think? That the
Australian coach and team are blind?
-
You think they haven't
figured out that India's ..
-
..main forwards do
not pass to each other?
-
You think they will not
take advantage of this fact?
-
Sir, whatever I do is for the team..
-
Komal, you cannot fool me,
at least do not try and fool yourself.
-
You fought with you father,
mother, brother, ..
-
..your village to come
here and play hockey,.
-
But now you are playing at
something else. Even you know this.
-
Tell her sir. She's the
one who started it all.
-
And you are the one who
will finish it tomorrow?
-
Is that the plan?
-
And you, Preeti Sabarwal,
-
Chandigarh Captain..
-
You lost your senses
to join this team..
-
But now you have
lost all sense.. Why?
-
Neither of you is a child.
-
You know very well
that if you do not play..
-
..together for the
same side tomorrow,
-
we will never win the finals.
-
Once upon a time,
an Indian team had lost a final.
-
You don't know what it is
like to bear that cross..
-
But when you do,
it will be too heavy to bear.
-
Neither of you has
the strength to bear it.
-
Nobody has the strength to bear it!
-
You both know what the problem
between you two is.
-
All I know is that whether you
both play on our side or not,
-
the rest of my team will
play together against Australia.
-
And if necessary
against both of you as well.
-
The ball is in your court.
-
Do you want to play with
your team or against it.
-
Whatever happens,
I will score the most goals..
-
What are you trying to prove?
-
I am not trying to
prove anything, Komal.
-
I just want to show a foolish boy
what a woman is capable of.
-
I will score the most goals,
no matter what happens.
-
I want to see you try and do it.
-
And tonight is the night that
everybody has been waiting for.
-
The night of the Women's
Hockey World Championship finals.
-
A match that is
completely unexpected.
-
Because tonight we have current and
6 times World Champions Australia
-
playing against India - a team
that has risen like a juggernaut.
-
A team that has won the
hearts of many with its ..
-
..dazzling display of
determination and skill.
-
But winning hearts and winning the
World Cup are two different things.
-
And this is the ordeal by
fire of Coach Kabir Khan's team.
-
By what strategy,
what skill, what magic
-
will this team from India beat the
game of the six times World champions..
-
Girls!
-
Seventy minutes.
-
Seventy minutes is all you have.
-
Perhaps the most important
seventy minutes of your life.
-
Today, whether you
play very well or badly,
-
you will always remember these seventy
minutes for the rest of your life.
-
Today I won't tell you how to play.
-
All I will say is:
-
Go! And play for all you're
worth in these seventy minutes.
-
Because in the days to come whether
life goes well for you or not,
-
whether you have something
to call your own or not..
-
..whether you win or lose,
-
these seventy minutes
are something ..
-
..that nobody can
ever take away from you.
-
Nobody.
-
So I thought,
-
I will not tell you how
to play today's match.
-
You will. By playing it.
-
Because I know that if
in these seventy minutes,
-
each player of this team plays
the best hockey of her life,
-
then not even God can take
away your seventy minutes.
-
So go!
-
Go and steal those seventy minutes -
from yourself.
-
From your life. From God.
-
From anyone who did not
have any faith in you..
-
Go and steal your seventy minutes.
-
Chak De!
-
Go Aussies!
-
Come on girls!
-
Towards the left side!
-
In the very first minute,
India has shown that
-
it will not play this
match as an underdog team.
-
Just how important this goal
was for the team's psyche,
-
is reflected in the look of
pride on Coach Kabir Khan's face.
-
What the hell just happened?
-
They have changed something.
Find out what it is.
-
Australia's counter attack -
-
And save!
-
Australia is not a team to
take things lying down..
-
and its the attack could
be a danger to India..
-
Gunjan to Komal..
-
Komal pass!
-
Nice dodge..
-
Komal! Pass to Preeti! Pass!
-
Preeti Sabarwal has scored
8 goals in the tournament,
-
Half time
-
And somehow India has managed
to hold on to its advantage.
-
But the second half has always
been Australia's strong point.
-
Australia's strong attack..
India under pressure..
-
Reverse hit..
-
and goal!
-
A pass..
- Move with them!
-
Once more, Australia on attack..
-
Push.. and goal!
-
India-1, Australia-2.
-
Only a few minutes
left and Australia's..
-
..strategy is to not
let go of the ball..
-
and kill India's chances
of scoring an equaliser..
-
Australia has the ball..
but India has snatched it!
-
Go Komal!
-
Come out! She won't pass!
-
Preeti!
-
Show the idiot!
-
Thank you!
-
Move back!
-
Emily! Get out there!
-
Come on! There is still time!
-
And end of extra time..
smiles in the Indian camp
-
Because now they will face the
Australian team in a tie breaker..
-
For India it means a genuine
chance to win this tournament.
-
Because now, the winner will be
decided by a penalty shoot out.
-
Each team will have a chance
of hitting 5 penalty strokes..
-
And the team with the most goals
will become the World Champion!
-
Didi, now everything is up to you.
-
Save us Vidya didi!
-
Preeti, Aliya, Bindia, Mary, Nethra..
Come! Quick! Come here girls!
-
You girls are taking the penalty.
-
Remember one thing - don't attack
the goal but the goalkeeper's mind.
-
You will win the goal automatically.
-
We can win it.
Come on girls! Well done!
-
Sir, if Komal can take my stroke..
-
Komal! Quick!
-
Preeti wants you to take her stroke.
-
Alright, let's get this going!
Come on everyone! All the best!
-
Australia-2, India-2.
-
India's first striker is right
out Nethra Reddy from Andhra
-
Come on Nethra!
-
Goalie ready?
-
Yeah!
-
Striker ready?
-
And India has wasted
its first chance.
-
Every missed stroke
can prove costly.
-
Now it is Australia's turn.
-
Defending the Indian goal
is Vidya Sharma, India's captain
-
Australia's No. 1 Sarah Abernathy.
-
Goalie ready?
-
Ready!
-
Striker ready?
-
And goal! A swift ground shot
that can leave any goalie stumped.
-
India-2, Australia-3.
-
Aliya Bose..
-
Another miss!
-
Opportunities wasted and
the Cup grows further away
-
Striker Sheryl Jones..
-
Goalie ready?
-
Striker ready?
-
And another goal!
-
Australia is growing stronger..
-
Now to stay in the game India
will have to stop every stroke..
-
..and convert every
stroke into a goal.
-
At this crucial moment,
we have Komal Chautala..
-
Centre forward from
Haryana and the team's right in.
-
Come on Komal! Just hit it!
-
Aussies!
-
A beautiful strike and goal!
India manages to save itself.
-
India-3, Australia-4
-
Vidya Sharma ready once more..
-
Rachael Taylor ready..
No room for mistakes..
-
And a great save!
-
India-3, Australia-4
-
There is still hope
for India, but to win,
-
it will have to convert the
next two strokes into goals.
-
India's next striker, penalty
shoot out specialist - Mary Ralte.
-
A great scoop and goal!
-
Making India on par with Australia..
-
But Australia has
two more strokes and..
-
..India, one.
- Come on Vidya didi! Save it
-
Australian striker Emily Jones.
-
India's last chance.. It is
imperative to score and that is why
-
experienced Bindia Naik
will take this stroke.
-
Come on Bindia didi!
-
Maybe this is what
they call experience!
-
We come now to the last
stroke of the penalty shoot out.
-
If Australia scores,
the shoot out will continue.
-
But if Vidya saves the goal, then
this Indian team will make history.
-
India-Pakistan
-
Just one penalty stroke between
India and the World Championship..
-
India is one goal behind Pakistan.
-
But Captain Kabir is
taking the stroke himself..
-
Why did you take the
penalty stroke yourself?
-
You do not know what it is
like to bear that cross..
-
She will hit on the left -
her stick is turned to the left.
-
But her foot is facing right
- She will hit right.
-
Left, no right, no left.. Oh my God!
-
She is going to hit
straight into the goal!
-
Vidya! Look at me!
-
Look at me, Vidya
-
My master
-
I was your third colour once
-
You were my master,
you were my pride
-
My master, my life is yours to take
-
And now Ladies & Gentlemen..
-
..we present to you the new
World Champions, Team India..
-
Jaya Hind! (Hail India)
-
By becoming World Champions,
the Indian Women's hockey..
-
..team has made
every Indian's heart sing
-
And the man who gave India this
victory is none other than Kabir Khan,
-
one of Asia's best Center forwards.
-
The thrill of our victory
is singing in the blood ..
-
..of thousands of
Indians waiting here
-
at the airport for the man
of the moment - Kabir Khan.
-
But he does not seem to be
here in this moment of glory..
-
Where is Kabir Khan?
-
What do ex - players have
to say about the man ..
-
..who returned to
the game after 7 years?
-
As long as players
like Kabir Khan exist,..
-
..Indian hockey can
hold its head high.
-
Brother Khan has proved that
there is no greater motivation..
-
.. than playing for your flag
-
Kabir Khan - the spirit of India!
Kabir Khan - the pride of India!
-
The credit of winning
this trophy, is being ..
-
..given to the team's coach
- Kabir Khan
-
And what does the man on
the street have to say?
-
There can be no one more
respected than the man ..
-
..who raised the
status of our National game.
-
He makes you feel proud
to be an Indian. - ..
-
..Kabir Khan has showed us
all who a true Indian is
-
Kabir Khan - the spirit of India!
Kabir Khan - the pride of India!
-
TRAITOR
-
Chak de! Chak de India!(Go India!)
-
Chak de!
-
O Chak de!
-
I was your third colour once
-
Your tune was the rhythm of my life
-
You were my master,
you were my pride
-
My master, my life is yours to take
-
So Preeti has no clue that
you are going to propose ..
-
..to her before the entire country?
-
No, she has no idea.
-
What if she says no?
-
Preeti.. will you marry me?
-
Preeti, tell us,
will you marry Abhimanyu?
-
No
-
She's only joking. Move!
-
What was that?
-
The truth.
-
Where are you going?
-
To my team.
-
But what about us Preeti? You and me?
-
Us? We never existed Abhi..
it was only you..
-
But now even I exist.
I don't need to be your wife.
-
Have a good life, and learn
some sportsman spirit if you can
-
Preeti has refused.
What is your plan now?
-
This is for you.
-
How are you mum? How are you dad?
-
I just want to say one thing Komal.
If I ever stop you from playing again,
-
just give me a couple of
whacks with this very stick.
-
No dad!
-
No, Komal. If anyone
else's father stops..
-
..her from playing,
whack him as well!
-
When his daughter makes a name all ..
-
..over the world,
he will forget everything.
-
Dad!
-
Madam!
-
Madam?
- Mr. Sukhlal!
-
Call us an army of devils,
Mr. Sukhlal.
-
Now that the rest of the
world calls us by that name, ..
-
..why are you shying away from it?
-
What do you want 400 rupees for?
-
Just because you brought me
to the airport, ..
-
..you can't charge
me whatever you wish!
-
Don't get so angry!
You are going to ..
-
..self destruct with
anger one of these days!
-
Here, drink some water! Be calm!
-
And brother, please
don't charge us extra.
-
Come along peacefully now. You won't
get anywhere by having such a temper.
-
Congrats Vidya..
- Thank you!
-
Come on, everyone is waiting
for you, especially Dad.
-
He says that his daughter-in-law
has made him really proud.
