Akshay Kumar is Gattu, a middle-aged shopkeeper who still slips out at night to practice bowling, clinging to the cricket career he gave up to obey his father. Inside a tightly wound family home, that old sacrifice still hangs over everyone, especially the imposing patriarch (Rishi Kapoor), whose wishes have shaped Gattu’s life for years. When his relatives decide to nudge him back toward a shot at playing for England — and keep it hidden from his father — the film centers on a household split between loyalty, resentment, and the dream Gattu never fully let go.
