He is attracted to stunning law student Melissa Winters while her brother, Dan, offers to coach Rajvinder and his team.

Right, Rajveer? - Yes, dad.

Wow! Nice plan, uncle.

You are perfect forthis.

"Move, move now."

"We will not be touched."

"Got the game on stuck."

"We cannot be seen."

"Unstoppable force is

the Indian dream team."

"You know who we are."

Throw it out. "We are

the Indian royalty."

"We run the world."

"This is my world, beloved."

"This is my world."

"This is my world."

Come on. Have a meal and come here.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

The doctor has come.

I have taken training in first aid.

Maybe he has hurt his head.

You look like Katrina Kaif.

What problem do you have?

I hit him softly.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Lie down. You will be fine.

Breathe.

Breathe deeply.

Move, you fool.

What happened?

I am not interested in kissing you.

Come on.

Get up.

Get up. I was giving

you fake CPR. That's it.

Get him out of the ice.

Where did Taj Mahal go?

The music stopped?

What?

- What's happening?

You slipped here and

fell into Bollywood.

Beloved.

I love you.

I think you have got

a major concussion.

Sorry. I spoke rubbish outside.

You were embarrassing

yourself and not me.

How do you feel now?

Tell me.

Will you come on a date with me?

I don't date hockey players.

You are lucky. I am

a truck drivertoo.

But I don't date them as well.

I will leave both

these things for you.

Especially those

who leave theirwork.

I think locker room

is only for players.

I am waiting for you in the car.

How are you now, Raj...

Rajvinder.

Raj is enough.

What is your sister's problem?

You think I am your spy?

What have you

thought about coaching?

Ten turbaned men.

All ten are Singhs.

I can't pronounce

theirfirst names properly.

They can't skate properly.

Leave alone play.

What can be worse than this?

It will be a miracle if we

play the first round well.

What?

You said we.

If it's in your destiny,

what can a person do?

Why are you following me?

What do you mean?

Why are you in my

favorite restaurant?

Don't act smart.

My friend praises this place a lot.

I have never eaten Indian food.

I thought I should try it.

How is your head?

You seemed unstable at the rink.

I am sitting in front of you.

I am perfectly alright.

Rajveer.

How are you, son?

Is everything fine at home?

Yes, Mr. Patel. Everything is fine.

Meet Melissa.

Hi.

First date?

Yes. - No.

I will consider it a yes.

Okay. Did I hear it right that

you are practicing hockey nowadays?

You are in that team about which...

...your sisterwas talking on TV?

No. No. - Yes. You are.

You are the captain.

Think whether you

are the captain or not.

If you are, I will

waive today's bill.

Waive today's bill?

Yes. I am the captain.

You heard it right.

What will you have, captain?

If you permit, shall

I place the order?

Okay. Let's begin

with 'Chicken Tikka'.

Good choice.

- 'Tandoori Jinga' (Fish). - Okay.

And mixed fritters.

Okay.

Cottage cheese vegetable. Curry.

And chicken 'Biryani'

(Flavored rice) too.

God bless you. - Afew flatbreads,

garlic and butter.

And rice.

And curd salad to keep her calm.

Anything for you?

No.

This will be enough.

Are you ordering

forthe entire team?

I am afraid it will be less.

Okay. Why were you not

telling him you are in the team?

My father doesn't like this game.

Why?

Have you noticed that

I look different from...

...the otherteam members?

Yes. They wear a turban. And

you don't. What's the big deal?

It's a big deal for a

boy born in a Sikh family.

When a Sikh boy cuts his hair...

I used to get angry

when people would see...

...not me but what was on my head.

I was 12 years old when a few boys...

...were playing hockey in my lane.

They allowed me to play on the

condition that I am the goalie.

I started playing.

After some time the game was about...

...who drops the turban from my head.

I broke my nose.

Both my eyes turned black.

That's why you cut your hair?

You may say so.

What is this?

I have made this forthe captain.

It's special.

Wow! My mouth is watering.

You also have it.

You begin.

Okay. Fine.

No.

What happened?

I am dead. It's so spicy.

Are you fine? What happened?

Drink water. Mr. Patel. Mr. Patel.

Peppermint.

Is that so?

After burning my mouth you

are trying to entice me.

I am not flirting with you.

Are you fine?

Because you can file a

human rights case on Patel.

Thanks for giving me a

taste of Indian food.

Okay. Will Chinese

be okay next time?

Goodnight.

Somebody give me a massage.

My legs are broken.

- All of you don't have energy.

Chess players are more energetic.

Friends, he is kidding.

Because you don't have to

move in a chess tournament.

Am I right?

All of you insult me there.

Henceforth we will stay

on the ice for longer.

I want more

commitment from all of you.

Coach, we want a nice uniform.

Right?

Yes. True.

It feels as if a team

of beggars is playing.

Right?

Yes.

I like it. Look, red color.

Its designer.

All of you are right.

We look like beggars.

If somebody has money and

pity for us hapless people...

This is the time.

What do you say? Is

Speedy Singhs okay?

It's great.

What do you think?

Should I invest money in

this Punjabi hockey team?

We will have to see Mr. Singh's ROI.

Return on investment.

Look, we can't take a major decision

without a business proposal.

So...

You are intelligent.

Thank you.

Uncle, what profit in

supporting your community?

Deva's team's name

will be Speedy Singhs.

It's great, isn't it?

Speedy Singhs.

It's a good name.

Fine. Let's have a

fundraising party.

I will invest the remaining money.

Deva came imploring for his team.

I understood it will be really

beneficial to invest money in...

...lndian community's ice hockey.

Hello. Hello.

I told him.

Let's invest in a

profitable venture.

See this.

Today, it's so lively because of me.

Please. Please. Enjoy yourself.

He has come to ask for more money.

Eat something.

He spoke nonsense.

You must be hungry.

Look, we don't get along well.

But soon we will be family.

When Reena marries you.
