Breakaway Page #6

Synopsis: A hockey enthusiast since 12 years of age, Toronto-based Rajvinder Singh, even went to the extent of trimming his hair, discarding his Pagri/turban, did not complete his education, incurred the wrath of his father, Darvesh, who wanted him to be involved in the family business as well as confirm and respect Sikh religion principles and values. Hoping to play professional hockey, Rajvinder, along with other fellow Sikh players, instead finds himself treated as the object of ridicule, referred to as a 'joker', by mainstream Caucasian players. Even his friends tease him and ask him to take up 'Guli Danda' and Kabaddi', while his father makes him work for Uncle Sammy as a truck driver. He is attracted to stunning law student Melissa Winters while her brother, Dan, offers to coach Rajvinder and his team. Unable to get themselves included in any team, they form their own, and call it 'Speedy Singhs'. They then set about to make a name for themselves with a coach who is unable to pronounce the

...lodged a complaint that Singhs...

...cannot play without a helmet.

Why didn't they do

anything until now?

I feel they never imagined

that you will make it this far.

They will nevertake off

theirturban to wearthe helmets.

So it's no use now.

Daddy, I was scared.

Daddy, look at him.

I am scared he might beat us too.

No, son, no one will hurt you.

Always remember.

When the Lord's your benefactor...

...no one can hurt you.

Our Guru has blessed

us with this turban.

He gave us his blessings.

Rememberthat? Understand. Look.

This is the Golden Temple.

I will take you there.

Akshay Kumar.

Next year I will take

you and your motherthere.

But how can ourturban protect us?

I will tell you how.

Look, this turban is our crown.

It's our inner strength.

History stands witness, son.

Whoever cast an evil on us,

always faced destruction.

The Sikhs have won so many wars...

...due to the grace of this turban.

And you know...

Daddy, who is he?

He is our great

emperor Kng Ranjit Singh.

He showed the world that...

...our Guru has turned us

into fearless warriors.

Glory to Lord Guru!

- Glory to Lord Guru!

My brave son.

My brave son.

Cut it.

That's a cut.

Here.

Great shot.

Yes.

Can I Have an autograph? - Sure.

Thank you.

Name?

Darvesh.

Darvesh.

- It's for my father.

Father. Interesting.

He is Rajveer Singh.

Ice-hockey captain.

I mentioned about him earlier.

Oh Yes.

Nice meeting you.

Speedy Singh.

Yes.

It's an honour meeting you.

I wish that was True.

I am working on it.

Well, I wish I could come and

watch yourfinals. - Me too.

Anyway, good luck.

And if you win the party is on me.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

See you.

Maybe this will work.

But it will cost dearly.

Do you think you can

get this done in a week?

Yes, of course.

Where did you get this money from?

Trucking.

By driving trucks.

What's the league's

problem with us wearing a turban?

Coach.

What are they saying

Okay, we are all here.

Tell us what you wanted to.

I think it will be

better if Raj tells you.

What are you doing here?

This is ourteam meeting.

First thing.

Friends, please forgive me.

You all deserve this championship.

Much more than that.

That's not possible, friend.

We won't take off the turban.

We have hit dead end.

End of story.

I heard.

But I learnt a lot seeing

the courage of this team.

Coach, I don't deserve to

be the captain of this team.

Is that all you want to say?

No.

Look.

What is this?

What is this?

Centuries ago, the

Gurus wore this in wars.

Now you all will protect

our respect and honour.

But this time, the

warwill be on the ice.

Listen, listen, listen.

Just a minute. Just a minute.

The officials won't

allow us to wearthis.

By the way, your

sister has informed them...

...how they can be worn.

Friends, with your permission.

According to Civil Court

Part one section eight...

...my clients are being

stopped from following theirfaith.

That's a human rights violation.

That's right.

Good point.

I don't know whether

this will work or not.

It already has.

And Raj has paid for

this from his savings.

And you can return it by

defeating Hammerheads.

Good luck.

Come on, coach.

Coach, please.

Friends. I told him if

he leaves he's gone.

And I am true to my words.

But I nevertold him that

I will nevertake him back.

She's is putting us down.

Go talk to him.

Go talk to your bride.

Why, what's wrong.

Just go, please.

In the dressing room.

Reena.

Reena, what are you doing?

What happened?

I don't know if I'll be

going ahead with this marriage.

You are telling me now.

I feel sometimes you

become so selfish.

You just want everything to

be the way you want it to be.

Not everything.

You came to my party and got drunk...

...even though you knew

that you can't digest it.

That was a party. - You don't

everwatch me reading news either.

I watch you all the time.

What was I wearing on Thursday?

Purple. Green. Sea green.

No. Red silk blouse tucked

into a bellbottom jeans.

What difference does that make?

I mean I record news.

Do you actually think we

are right for each other?

Look Reena, I have never

felt like this about anyone.

Reena, I have nothing except you.

I will try not to

think about myself.

I am kind of rascally.

But I have no control overthat.

I know. I know only you

can make me a better man.

Only you.

Alright.

Thank God you came out.

Sorry.

I have parked my

elephant in the no parking zone.

I might get a ticket forthat.

Teach him to at

least button his shirt.

Please calm down.

They will come.

I am calm. - You are not.

I'm sorry, dad.

Come, my Punjabi son. Rajveer Singh.

Welcome. Come home now. Okay?

Come on. Come on.

God bless. - Come on. It's

time forthe nuptial rounds.

Come on. Come on. Please.

Coming.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

this day is no ordinary day.

And not because I'm getting

married to my beautiful wife.

But because our reception will

take place at a hockey match.

My brother Rajveer

will play in that.

And my wife will cover it.

Go Speedy Singhs.

Seek His blessings.

And return victorious.

Whoever utters His

name shall be happy.

This is crazy.

These guys are spoiling the marriage

function for a hockey match.

This is foolishness.

Give me your hand.

And you're not going anywhere.

This is forthe championship,

father.

And I am playing.

I will really like it if you come.

No.

Go.

It's an auspicious day.

I will stay here.

Life is full of surprises, isn't it?

I don't like surprises.

Your son is special.

You must watch him play.

You might change your mind.

Great. Are they here forthe

hockey match or a wedding?

This must be the

biggest Punjabi contingent...

...everto watch a hockey match.

It's time forthe

finals of the Hyundai Cup.

Underdogs Speedy Singhs

Vs favorites Hammerheads.

Speedy Singhs performance has

won the hearts of the Canadians.

This is Reena Singh from SIN.

And I just got married.

All of you actually

look like warriors.

Thank you, Mr. Singh.

Thank you, coach.

Come on, Raj.

Come on, guys.

I could've never

done this without you.

Don't mention it.

Some things are better left unsaid.

Thank you.
