Plot summary
Ishaan Bhatt once played cricket at district level until selection politics cost him his place. Omi Shastri is the nephew of Bittu Joshi, a Hindu politician who funds the temple run by Omi's father. Govind Patel has a head for business and numbers. The three friends, in Ahmedabad at the turn of the millennium, open a sports shop that also serves as a cricket training academy. Ishaan asks Govind to tutor his younger sister, Vidya Bhatt, in mathematics for her upcoming exams, and the two develop feelings for each other. The friends spot Ali Hashmi, a boy with rare cricket talent, and Ishaan begins training him, though Ali's father, Naseer Hashmi, leads a party rival to Bittu's. Govind wants to expand the business to a mall.
