The film delves deep to explore facets of human relationships- What happens when one man's passion becomes the other man's obsession? It's a A tale of friendship...passion...glory...betrayal...revenge....when merit is suppressed there has to be an obvious backlash which tears apart the social fabric.

Football which is celebrated world over as the most beautiful game has a dismal story to tell in our country. Here it has been dirtied, sullied and made ugly by a few individuals for their own gains and lofty egos. Thus, leading to the destruction of the sport, sportsmanship and the lives of sportsmen. We have tried to put forth a basic moot point- Football is not just a sport, it's a passion, it's a way of life so play it with pride & honor, with heart & honesty, with skill & beauty.
