But you see...

this contest. What do we tell them?

The announcements are made.

Milkha is our star. lf he refuses,

it'll send the wrong signal.

he lost the Rome Olympics...

You win some, you lose some.

Mr. Prime Minister,

Pardon me. My name is Ranvir Singh.

Milkha Singh's coach.

This isn't about losing in Rome.

He refuses to go to Pakistan...

... for personal reasons.

Mr. Wadhwa...

... and go and talk to Milkha.

Good morning, sir.

Oh good morning come.

Hello...

How are you, sir? - Very well.

Come in.

The Delhi to Chandigarh Amrapali Express

Milkha Singh listens to him...

... so l requested him to come too.

Thanks for coming, Mr.

Gurudev Singh.

l hope you can

help persuade Milkha.

Read this?

"l will not go to Pakistan."

What is the reason?

lt's a long story, sir.
