Okay. Me.

Our plight will be bad.

We need help.

We need practice.

One moment, friends.

I will tell you what the problem is.

We need some strong boys.

Oh, my God.

This is 'Kabaddi'.

India's great sport.

This looks like sumo and wrestling.

Actually, it's very simple.

But difficult to explain.

We are not here forthat.

Nikku Singh.

We would play hockey

when we were kids.

He is very beefy.

That's what we need.

Uncle.

Yes, Sonu.

Sir said to take your

approval forthe road schedule.

It will be good to send

Rajveer on his first trip.

Good. I will do my best.

Thank you.

No problem.

Hi, papa. Sorry. I am late.

You fool. At times come on time.

Take this.

Good. Very good.

The food's aroma is great.

Thank you.

Mother, teach Reena cooking.

It will be good if she

You never leave a

chance to taunt me.

Did you give them the good news?

Good news?

coming to town for shooting.

Really?

I am going to take his interview.

What are you saying?

Good, Sonu.

I hope this hero

doesn't take Reena away.

How? On a flying saucer?

Will you have beer?

Yes. Why not?

No, uncle. Sonu won't drink.

He swings like a

child aftertwo pegs.

Yes. Mentally, he is a kid.

Raj, sirwants you to go

on yourfirst road trip.

Tonight.

You are going to New York. To

deliver an important package.

Is that so? You are also

coming along with the package?

You are right. I am

an important package.

But it's not your cup

of tea to send me back.

Don't worry. It's nothing illegal.

Nothing will happen to you.

Rajveer, you got to

handle some responsibility.

Underthis pretext you will

practice driving a truck too.

Sonu, please stop pulling Raj's leg.

Uncle Sammy.

Yes, son. Tell me. I wanted

to talk to you for a moment.

Yes. Tell me. - I think there

is some problem in the schedule.

Papa was saying I have

to go to New York tonight.

But I... - I had told the

office not to put you on schedule.

If you go to New York,

how will you play hockey?

How long have you known, uncle?

Since the time you came to

me with yourfriend Deva.

You should have told yourfamily.

You know father.

How do I tell him?

He wants to see you successful,

Rajveer.

But he doesn't understand me.

Nephew, don't worry.

Go and show them.

Thanks, uncle. The

first goal will be for you.

Score a goal for your dad.

He loves you.

Uncle is the best.

Hi, mom. Today my dinner

is out. Okay? - Yes. I know.

That's why I have packed

potato stuffed flatbread.

Amazing, mom!

Tonight is very special for you.

You will like New York a lot.

Big Apple. - Yes.

This is yourfirst road trip.

Take this, son. - I still

remember my first road trip.

Take care of the truck.

It's a great truck.

Okay. Sure. I should be leaving now.

He is very happy for you today.

May Lord be your savior! - Okay.
