We've barely begun this business,

why take unnecessary risks?

You are so negative!

Rot here all your life.

Give it back!

Hey!

Omi...

Wow...

Hello, uncle...

sit...

Wow!

Not bad!

I like what you've done to this place.

Uncle, haven't seen you in a while.

We were campaigning all over Gujarat.

I got some Lord's blessings...

for everyone.

Sir...

mind if I...

Careful, it's loaded.

Parekhji gave it... for protection.

Politics is a tricky game...

The more you help people,

the more enemies you make.

Omi, what have you been up to?

Come over to the party office...

Sorry, uncle, haven't had time to breathe.

You know... setting up a new business...

Next week the senior party members

are coming to town.

You must come...

in fact, all of you should.

Enroll yourselves at the party office.

Of course, we will.

You guys need to be more pro-active now...

the youth is the future of this country.

What the--

You take care...

See you.

Have you lost it?

I don't have time for this stupid politics.

Stupid politics?

You think we'd get this shop

if it weren't for uncle?

And what's he asking for?

Just to attend the function.

That's why I said we should buy

the shop at the mall.

At least we won't owe anyone anything!

Do this, do that...

Objection!

My dear friend...

even if we buy a new shop...

we'll still need a training ground?

Exactly!

I think we should just go along with uncle.

I have a better idea!

At least listen to me...

hear me out.

Why don't we...

give him a tambourine, wear a skirt

and dance to his tunes!

What do you have against my uncle?

We're paying him rent, aren't we!

My uncle has really helped us.

So have we.

Chill, you guys!

Why do you always talk about your uncle?

Enough!

The mall will work out and so will Parekhji...

Tomorrow is Sunday.

SQ?

'Tomorrow is Sunday,

a day to drink away!'

Why? What's the big occasion?

You won the lottery?

You bloody Miser!

Don't stop us!

I will pay from my share...

That's for the shop.

Sit down!

Back off!

lshaan...

take my share too.

Well, the Sabarmati Sports Club

has enough in its coffers...

to sponsor your cheap beers.

Here's a grand!

The miser is on board! Yay!!

But we can't do this every month.

Absolutely!

Let me take care of this.

Give it back.

There, he's back to his calculations.

Smell this my friend...

much better than your wads of cash.

Even to get here,

you need a piece of that wad.

Shhh...

no more talk of cash.

Let me enjoy the breeze.

I'm with you, bro!

I should make a note of it.

You guys are so goddamn drunk!

Who is drunk?

Look...

See I can walk in a straight line.

Walking is fine...

but can you run in a straight line?

Yes, sir!

Go for it!

This is the good life.

Tell me...

Omi...

When you become a hotshot politician...

what's the first thing that you'll do?

I'll open a sports academy for you.

'lshaan Bhatt Sports Academy'

Only for those who can't make it

beyond the local league.

What do you mean?

Did you hear that?

Cut it out, man!

Everyone knows how biased

the selection process is.

Exactly!

He is still the best player in our district.

That's like saying Vidya is

the 'Julia Roberts' of our district.

World famous in our neighbourhood.

Listen, Govi...

her exams are coming up...

you need to help her out with her math.

But I teach kids.

You scored a century in your board exams...

Cent percent.

You'll do just fine.

Now friends, let's step on the gas...

Let's hit it!

I hate Math.

Huh?

Huh, that's all?

If I had my way, I'd drop

Math from the syllabus. Just like that.

The world of numbers is magical.

You can fit the entire universe

in the digits from 0 to 9.

Huh?

Once you get a hang of them,

you'll start to enjoy.

Yuck!

Enjoy?

Every time I hear the word 'Math',

I feel like throwing up.

Just say the word and...

see what I mean?

Preeti!

My best friend.

Switch it off.

No mobile phones when I'm teaching.

Just a minute!

Switch it off.

Naseer Hashmi?

He is a member of uncle's rival political party.

Relax! You're not here to ask for his vote.

Sir...

Ali has been blessed by God.

We don't know the extent of his talent yet.

Let's begin with his fitness and training and...

in a few years, he will be

playing for the state, I assure you.

But, son...

cricket coaching is meant for the rich.

No one will even acknowledge him...

Oh come on!

Rich or poor, makes no difference to talent.

Trust us, we'll take care of everything.

What's going on?

Dad, Ali stole my marbles.

Now he's had it!

Who knows what else he has stolen!

Ali...

I won those marbles from him.

I don't want to hear a thing.

Get out right now!

Where are the marbles?

I don't have them.

He's lying!

Sir...

Are you talking about these marbles?

I found them in this corner.

I have given up...

I can't take it anymore.

Don't worry, sir.

He is just a kid.

Look at Omi...

He was a terror round the block!

Panditji didn't know what to do with him...

Look at him now!!

Managing his own shop.

Panditji?

Pandit Shastri, the head priest of

Someshwar Temple, is Omi's father.

Hmm... I know him.

Bittoo Joshi...

isn't he the trustee of the temple?

He is my uncle.

He helped us with the training centre.

Interesting!

So my son will...

learn from Bittoo's cronies?

We are nobody's cronies, sir.

Children from all over town

come to us for training.

We treat everyone the same.

It's alright...

Our political party doesn't

believe in divide and rule.

But...

I suggest you ask him yourself.

Ali...

You still owe me 3 sixes.

See you at the nets tomorrow?

7 o'clock sharp!

He's shy.

Pull it...

Tighter!

Reverse.

Do the same there.

So, Ali...

how's it going?

Look what I got for you.

Here... this will protect you.

And...

keep this too.

This will...

this will ensure

your family tree continues.

Listen...

He just hits on the leg-side.

Seam pointing left, shiny side right.

Try bowling an out-swinger.

Go on.

Start.

Well bowled...

Nice ball.

60 degree...

angle A, B and...

May I come in, sir'?

What?

Thank you.

Ali...

What are the two sides of the pitch called?

Give me a few minutes,

this is very important.

What are the two sides of the pitch called?

Come on, Ali. It's simple.

For a right-handed batsman,

his right side is called 'off'...

and his left side is called 'on'.

Just a minute.

It's very important...

Ali, look here.

You always play in one corner of the ground.

The right side is blocked...

with apartments and...

That's why you always hit

the ball on the 'on' side.

Your 'off' side game is weak.

What if the off-side is opened?

Mid-off...

Cover...

Point...

Gully...

How will you play?

It's simple.

If the ball is on the off-side...

Off drive...

If the ball is away from the cover...

Cover drive...

If the ball is pitched short...

Back-foot drive...

If the ball is outside the off-stump...

use your wrist to hit a square cut

through the gully.

And if a similar ball

is pitched a little full...
