Seven years later, to redeem himself, Khan becomes the coach of the Indian national womens hockey team and aims to turn its sixteen contentious players into a championship unit.

When Indian team captain Kabir Khan Shah Rukh Khan is fouled, he takes a penalty stroke. His shot just misses, costing India the match. Soon afterwards, media outlets circulate a photograph of Khan shaking hands with the Pakistani captain. The sporting gesture is misunderstood, and the Muslim Khan is suspected of throwing the game out of sympathy towards Pakistan. Religious prejudice forces him and his mother Joyshree Arora from their family home.Seven years later Mr. Tripathi Anjan Srivastav, the head of Indias hockey association, meets with Khans friendand hockey advocateUttamaji Mohit Chauhan to discuss the Indian womens hockey team. According to Tripathi, the team has no future since the only longterm role for women is to cook and clean. Uttamaji, however, tells him that Kabir Khan whom no one has seen for seven years wants to coach the team. Initially sceptical, Tripathi agrees to the arrangement. ........
