Will you guys start or should

I leave? - Mahi, listen.

Where are you going?

You didn't get cold drinks.

First eat this.

- Let's start.

I think you didn't

get enough fritters.

Have some.

How much for the pomfret?

Rs. 80.

- That's too much.

Why do you haggle so much?

Just buy what you want.

- I have to.

I can't pay whatever they ask for.

Pack them. - Keshav! How are you?

- All good, Chanchal.

Mister, weigh this. - Are you

enjoying yourself? - Yes, I am

enjoying myself.

Tell him to hit harder this time.

- Tell who?

Dhoni, who else?

I want a better performance

at the Duleep Trophy this time.

Duleep Trophy?

- Don't you know? - No!

He's been selected

from the East Zone.

It was published

in the newspaper today.

He has a match against Central

Zone day after, in Agartala.

Show him today's newspaper.

Give me the newspaper.

- Here.

There.

- Take a look.

He doesn't know.

Hold this, hold this!

- What happened?

You go home,

something important has come up.

I'll be right back.

Well, that is..

- Param!

Param!

Do you know Dhoni's been

selected for Duleep Trophy?

Come on.

What..

You've been selected

for Duleep Trophy.

The match is day after tomorrow.

But I didn't receive any letter.

It must be stuck

at some association.

Didn't Mr. Deval inform you?

- No.

I've all the details.

You must report at Dum Dum

Airport at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

But how do I get to

Kolkata tomorrow morning?

We..

- Mahi, go and talk to Mr. Deval.

He'll arrange something.

Sir has asked you to wait.

Gentlemen, let's take a break.

Yes, sir.

- Right, sir.

Give that to me.

- Come..

Yes, Mahi. - Sir, I've been

selected for Duleep Trophy.

Really?

And the match is day after tomorrow

at Agartala

and I have to report tomorrow

at Kolkata Airport.

What!

- Sir.

Wait here.

Have you sent a letter for Mahi?

But somebody should have

informed us.

How can he report tomorrow?

But then, he will lose

one big match.

Such a big competition

and you guys are so irresponsible!

Sir.

The news is right.

I guess your letter's

stuck at Jamshedpur.

What do I do now?

There's a flight tomorrow

from Kolkata at 9 a.m.

Yes, sir.

You missed the chance.

Sir..

- Sir, should we try by road?

If we leave now,

we'll reach by 9 a.m.

Do you know the condition

of the roads?

Sir, we'll take turns to drive.

No, no, you can't make it.

Just arrange for a car and we'll

handle the rest. - Yes, sir.

The Accounts Department

is also shut.

You guys manage

something on your own.

I'll reimburse your expenses later.

Okay?

Mahi, call me when you get there.

Why would we come here

if we had the money for a car?

What a man!

I think he didn't forward

the letter. - Will you be quiet?

How will we arrange something

at this late hour?

Let it be.

- What's the problem, Mahi?

We'll manage now.

And get it reimbursed later.

But how?

- Just go and pack your bags.

We'll get the car.

- Go on, come on.

You go on. - Leave..

- Come on, go and pack. Quick!

Do you guys have some money?

What?

You just said that you have money!

My intentions are right,

but I am short of money.

And Mahi must go.

We must do something.

Do you have anything?

- I may have something.

And you? - Yes..

- I'll take a look.

I'll arrange for something

as well. - Come on.

Let's meet at Deepak's garage

at 12 o'clock tonight.

Okay?

- Come on. Hurry up.

Let's go, let's go.

Chittu, you're back home.

Chittu, you're going?

- Yes, I'll be back soon.

We'll pay the rest

after we come back. - Okay.

Fine.

- Come on, get in, get in.

He's here!

Come on, give it to me.

- Drive safely. - Bye!

Get in.

Come on.

Bye, Mahi.

All the best!

Param, should I drive?

Mahi, wake up.

We've reached the airport.

Mahi, wake up.

We're here.

Quickly. Quickly.

We're here.

Mahi, we worked really hard.

Hit a century for us.

Mahi won't stop,

he'll definitely hit it. - Come on!

Of course, he will.

He'll make a century.

What happened? - The flight

took off half an hour ago.

Mahi..

- I'll be back in two minutes.

Mahi.

Good morning, sir.

- Morning.

You called for me, sir?

- Come in, Satyaprakash.

Doesn't Mahendra Singh Dhoni

play with you?

Yes, sir.

He's my junior. But plays well.

Will he join Railways?

Will he become a ticket-collector?

Don't know, sir.

Heard of

Bondamunda Railway Station?

Sir, I'm better off in Kharagpur.

Offer him a job

on behalf of the Railways.

Mahi!

Mahi!

Chittu.

Mahi!

What happened?

Your dad's looking for you!

Come quickly!

What did you do this time?

- I did nothing.

Maybe, that's why

he's looking for you.

Brother.

Your son will go very far.

- Yes. - Where were you?

Congratulations, Mr. Pan Singh.

The Railways has a Sports quota.

And Mr. Animesh loves cricket.

He's looking for a good

wicket-keeper batsman

for the South-Eastern Railways.

And he's had his eye on Mahi

for a long time.

Is his job as a TC confirmed?

Mr. Animesh will test Mahi.

If he passes that,

his job's guaranteed.

He will pass the test.

This is great news.

His first posting

will be in Kharagpur itself.

After that we'll try

to relocate him to Ranchi.

And with everything included

he'll get Rs. 5000 in hand

on the 1st of every month.

With the Goddess' blessings,

Mahi will become a ticket-collector.

What more can one ask for?

Why don't you tell dad

if you don't want to go?

Did you see dad's face?

- Yes.

And he'll need money too.

Don't try to sound so responsible.

Tell me something, Sister.

Will I ever do

anything with my life?

Why not!

Wait and watch, someday you

will be very successful, Mahi.

Satya was saying

that if you do your job well

then you could

be the boss someday.

What happened?

Should I have said something else?

I will miss all of you.

- Me too.

Mr. Animesh bowls personally

to every player

before selecting him for the team.

You just play well.

What does he normally bowl?

- Everything.

On his own?

- Yes.

Good morning, sir.

- Good morning.

Dhoni, sir.

- Good morning, sir.

I've heard a lot about you.

Wear your pads.

- Yes, sir.

Is it too fast?

Should I bowl slower?

- No, sir. It's fine.

Try that again.

Catch it!

Dhoni, I'm going to bowl

a bouncer next.

Wear your helmet.

Sir, sir!

Sir.

Please get out or

he will keep bowling all day.

Your job depends on it.

I won't get out to get a job.

Well played, good shot.

Sir.

- Your bat swings are really good.

But try to hit straight.

Play in the V,

mid-off and mid-on.

And don't hit too many

over-the-heads.

Yes, sir.

Practice every day

after your duty hours.

You practice as much as you work.

Would you be able do it?

- Yes, sir.

The railway trials

are in two months.

You must perform well.

- Yes, sir.

You can join duty next week.

- Thank you, sir.

Amazing.

Very good.

Are these the quarters?

- No, they're at the back.

That is Mr. Animesh's bungalow.

The one adjacent

to the boundary wall.

He's made a cement pitch out there.
