have departed.

I'm stuck at where

I first started.

Why couldn't

Time be humane.

Why keep bringing

back the pain?

The dream that once

I longed to see.

Now remains

a mere memory.

Innocent, is she as tempting

as she looks in the pics?

Tempting yes,

but a tornado.

Unleash the tornado on Delhi.

Tell her Dev Sir wants her..

..to box in the

Cultural Exchange Tournament.

Sure sir,

I'll put her in the list.

Dev's reeling

in the fishmonger!

Madhi, my champ,

you're going to Delhi.

Our Madhi's going to Delhi!

You'll box in the

Cultural Exchange Tournament

Dev Khatri himself has picked you.

Your dream's coming true!

We'll be boxing.

Yeah!

Adi's student, right?

Heard a lot about you.

Will you take on

a Russian boxer?

You're lucky to get an

international bout so early on.

Pad up, wear your gloves.

Sir, the Russian boxer's

in a heavier category.

Madhi's a lightweight.

- Who are you?

- Junior coach sir.

Junior coach!

Know who I am?

1980, Asian Games

gold medalist

1982, Thailand International

Meet champion

1990, Arjuna Award.

1996, Dronacharya Award.

Now, National Women's

Head Coach.

You have the nerve to advise me,

Mr. Junior Coach?

Will you fight in a

higher weight category?

- Never said I wouldn't.

- That's the spirit! Get ready.

(Speaks Russian)

You'll lose anyway.

Just go swing your arms!

(Speaks Russian)

Blue corner Madhi..

Red corner Natalia.

Come on Madhi!

Red, Blue shake hands.

Box!

Madhi!

- 1 ..2..

- Madhi!

3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. 7..

8.. 9.. 10.

Knockout!

Winning by knockout,

Red is the winner.

Bloody dog!

Hey Madhi,

Dev Sir's calling you.

Come on in.

Are you hurt bad?

Shut the door.

Let's see.

Don't lose heart.

The best of players lose some.

You are talented.

You'll go places.

- I tried my best.

- I know! I had picked you.

More chances will follow.

You'll represent India soon.

Come.

B*tch!

Your career's over!!

Why that look?

Like you've never

made out with Adi sir!

Never!

That was never his agenda!

No wonder he dumped you!

Mere talent gets you nowhere.

To rise in life,

you've got to sink low. Ask Lux!

Make it snappy.

- Hey! That's my locker.

- Step back!

Where's this from?

- Stealing from the Association?

- No! Dunno how it got there!

Don't mess with Dev sir.

Forget wearing gloves ever again.

Take her away!

- What's going on?

- I didn't steal it sir!

- I'm being framed, please help!

- She's not a thief.

This is the darkest

of any dark night.

My guiding star

nowhere in sight.

The light has blurred,

Hopes lie withered.

The dark night is

cold and stern.

The morning hoped for,

won't return.

Words from my fairy tale

have departed.

I'm stuck at where

I first started.

Why couldn't

Time be humane.

Why keep bringing

back the pain?

The dream that once

I longed to see.

Now remains

a mere memory.

- Master, I messed up.

- Smart ass! Making a call!

Please help me, Master!

Hey, don't hit her!

All I want is to box.

Nothing else!

Master, please help!

Master!

If you'd haggled longer..

..the cop would have

settled for far less.

Wait, Madhi.

I'd gladly have paid twice the amount.

Move. Sir. Sir!

How had you put it?

I only wipe my own butt..

..not my neighbor's!

Sir!

You ARE a good man, sir!

Madhi..

Don't look back now.

You haven't won any qualifier.

But the rules allow a wild card entry

to the World Cup selections.

This is your last chance

to represent India.

Box for your life!

Madhi...

Good evening Master.

Madhi, let me get your bag

I'll carry it.

My hand's fine now

Lux, I'll shift your roomie.

Madhi can move in with you.

No sir.

I'll be fine on my own.

The lech is smitten by you!

What was your special move?

Drop the act,

teach me too.

I wish your hand

was broken for good.

You did try.

I fought with a broken

hand and lost.

Did I tattle?

Worked myself numb for my family.

All for this?

And the hell I've been through?

How do I even say it?

It kills me!

A police job for me would've

sorted our lives. Yours too!

'Don't box', is all you had to say.

I'd have backed off.

But not anymore.

I'll box.

For myself, and for

the man who believed in me.

You'll box huh?

I'll show you what boxing is!

Hey! Knock it off!

Lux, what's got into you?

Lux, go to your room.

Oh? So you can

take her to yours?

Madhi, you leave.

It's all your doing!

Why couldn't you train

me like you trained Madhi?

Because she's a better boxer

than you are. Nothing else.

What do I do now?

- Madhi.

- Yes, Master.

Hey Adi,

what's wrong with you?

The girl has won nothing.

She was thrashed at the Nationals!

Yet you pick her

for the World Cup selections?

Using your influence huh?

I guess you haven't

heard of a wild card entry.

Can't expect better

from free food spongers.

Spare the plates.

Look around you Madhi.

They all want you to lose.

Because you're my student.

One mistake.. they'll bury you.

What do you want Master?

A knockout.

You can't win on points.

Done!

Storms uproot

mighty trees.

The grass for a while

bows with ease.

And seizes the

moment right.

To later proudly

stand upright.

After every fall,

surge ahead.

Like the Phoenix,

rise from the dead.

Rope in diligence

Prove your excellence.

Dazzle the world

with your brilliance.

C'mon settle the score.

C'mon settle the score

(Speaks Russian)

Arise! Awaken!

Victory does beckon!

Through every vein

Let obsession flow.

Let every heartbeat sing

Victory's mine, I know!!!

C'mon settle the score.

C'mon settle the score.

C'mon settle the score.

Madhi has proven that

she's a force to reckon with..

..by reaching the finals.

C'mon settle the score.

C'mon settle the score.

After the last knockout,

you feel you can beat Natalia?

That was way back.

With Adi Master by my side,

no one can stop me.

India's hoping for a miracle.

..from this young fighter Madhi

to come out shining.

Come on, start training.

Hey, that's not a bar stool!

Get away from there.

You'll die. Get down!

Lux called.

Was sobbing. She lost.

But Madhi's in! I'm stealing

cable to watch her match.

Hurry! I'll tell everyone.

Hey, come watch

Madhi's match on TV!

Next!

Madhi.. India..

Lightweight.

- Your name is not in the list.

- Next!

Master!

- What's the problem?

- Her name is not in the list.

She's won the semis!

- How can this be?

- Ask the Association. Next!

Relax. I'll be back

Dev.. Dev!

They aren't weighing Madhi!

Any problem?

Please excuse us.

Thank you.

Slimy snake,

back to your tricks!

She won the semis.

Why's she not on the list?

September 12th 1996,

Olympic selections, Hisar..

..you hit me in public

August 14th 2001,

National Meet, Chandigarh..

..you told the Press

I know zilch about boxing.

- January 28th..

- Why rake up the past now?

The wound's healed

but the scar remains.

Today Madhi will

fail the dope test.

You'll both be disgraced.

This is our battle, Dev.

Why punish her?

If she fails, you fail.

Right?
