[7] The story begins around the time of the Berlin Olympics in 1936, when the Indian team played the hockey finals against Germany.

When the captain Samrat (Kunal Kapoor) and team receive the gold medal, the British National Anthem is played and the flag of British India is hoisted, but the Indian team promise themselves that they will win a Gold medal once again on behalf of their motherland, after India gets Independence.

After the war, a drunk and spoiled Tapan roams and loses in several bets but sobers up when he gets the news that the next Olympics will be held in London in 1948.

Tapan now struggles to win his position as a joint manager of the team and promises to bring up best players from the new generation.

But Samrat refuses and suggests teammate Imtiaz Ali Shah (Vineet Kumar Singh).

Tapan meets Imtiaz and they decide to continue their dream and oath to win the gold medal for an independent India.

Finally Tapan keeps his promise and creates the national hockey team, taking players from several regions.

During a riot, Imtiaz gets injured when some Hindus and Sikhs tried to burn him alive, but is saved by Tapan and Himmat.

Mr. Wadia, as a chairperson of the Hockey Council, becomes the Head Coach and Tapan is once again honoured as the assistant manager of the team.

Devang and Raghubir try to explain to Himmat that it was Tapan who selected the player list for the game, but all in vain.

Tapan shows everyone the Indian Flag and tells them he has been carrying it since Berlin Olympics to see his dream come true.

Although bad weather conditions seemed in favor of the British, Tapan asks everyone to open their shoe to maintain grip on the ground.

Finally, when the captain, Devang receives the gold medal, the National Flag of independent India is hoisted and the anthem "Jana Gana Mana" is played.

A proud Tapan concludes the narration with the words "Vande Mataram" (Victory to Mother India) as the anthem ends and tears of happiness take place.

The lyrics were written by Javed Akhtar, Vayu, Arko Pravo Mukherjee and Chandrajeet Gannguli.
