Aryan has arrived at the tryouts of a reputed football club. A lot rides on this endeavor for he has decided to go against his father’s wishes of joining the family business. However, this is only the beginning of his troubles.
Aryan's path soon crosses with Suraj, an unwelcoming and hostile player who would do everything in his might to make the road ahead as difficult as possible. Thus begins a heated rivalry where both refuse to back down.
Suraj is fueled by his hate of Aryan’s privilege, leaving Aryan no other choice but to retaliate in a fitting manner if he is to be selected for the team.
The rivalry is portrayed with the intention of telling a story of grit, as well as grudging respect. A slight loosening of dialogue presents a few hurdles in the realization of this vision in its entirety, but in the face of the dedication and earnestness to storytelling, the rough edges become smoother, paving the path for more storytelling in this vein in the future.
