When you're in year eight, everything's easy.

A packet of crisps with your best mate

and making plans and maps about how you're going to save the world.

In the dark of Tiger Bay

That's Mia.

Fabulous with the beard.

We've been close for so long,

we're kind of like the same person.

In jokes?

Like this stupid stone we keep passing around.

Is it even the same stone? Who knows?

Get your own.

It's only half the fun.

Mia, I don't think there's been

a single day since year eight

we've not had to sample whatever's on my plate.

There must be a reason I've put up with you.

You need those perks.

Sure.

-This is Shreya. -Hi.

Hi.

She's not interested in saving the world.

Who is going to the meeting today?

Not me.

Are you talking about the fellowship program?

Guys, I'm going to Washington.

-Sounds amazing. -I know.

Shreya sees things differently.

She's exciting.

My uni does this international

fellowship program every year.

Supposed to encourage ground-level aid

to communities less fortunate than our own.

It's a big deal.

The winning academy can make a packet.

But if Shreya's not interested…

The faculty would choose one academy to host

a fellowship game in your respective sport.

As exciting as it is, though, gentlemen,

I need you to treat this seriously.

It's a well-respected scheme

and there's a huge amount of money involved.

What? It's paid.

The International Monetary Fund offer an incredibly

generous prize for whichever

institution wins the match.

Forms in by tomorrow.

If it's not in the box, you're not on the scheme.

Look at these locations.

Australia, America, Cambridge.

It's such a good opportunity.

For who?

That woman on the PTA just drives me insane.

Flashing her discreet diamonds,

going on and on about the genius son.

How he was doing Kumon at the age of five.

Duke of Edinburgh Gold without cheating.

And all the time getting A-stars.

Now he wants to be a doctor.

Work in some fancy clinic with noses.

He wants to spend his life

clearing out the cobwebs from people's nostrils.

Can you lay the table when you've done that, Sanj?

It's Mia.

You need to find yourself a nice girl.

Mum, she's nice. She's a friend.

She's taking up space

and you know what I mean by nice?

Someone like us. Good Punjabi stock.

Stock? Seriously, Mum?

Why do you sound like you're cow farming in India?

No, it's not a joke, Sanjay.

The two of you snuggled up in your room for hours on end.

Anything can happen.

-Like what? -What if she gets pregnant?

-Pregnant? -Yeah, community is important.

Network is important.

So, you marry a nice Indian girl

and then she gets pregnant, and you fall out

and she wants to run off with a guy who's richer than you,

disappearing with your children.

All I have to do is to get on

the Khandaan Global WhatsApp group.

Before you know, they're leaning on her family.

Before she gets to the motorway, they have shamed her into doing a U-turn,

coming back with my grandchildren.

-Mum. -I am connected.

We are all connected.

You should write a soap. You know that?

Clear your room. Cleanse your minds.

Does this belong to you?

Yeah, well, I'd rather have

a pebble in my shoe and stick up my…

So, look at all this junk.

Careful with this.

It's going with all the rubbish.

Probably the most expensive thing in your whole room.

But that's not why you love it so much.

If I could be half the man my grandad was.

You should hear the stories my mum

tells me about their adventures growing up.

This makes me feel connected to it all.

Well, you are.

No, you wouldn't understand, Mia.

It's hard to explain.

It's a first-generation immigrant thing.

Why do you keep that one?

It's a great beard.

Are there nicer ones of me?

What's for dinner?

Going to order.

Your mum didn't cook today?

I had a craving. Fish and chips.

Homemade curry over fish and chips any day.

You're weird.

No, I just fancy something different.

You've finally found What you're looking for

So why does it feel so wrong?

You've got blue skies, white clouds Blue eyes, bright crowds

So why aren't you here in the song?

You're searching around In the underground

Hearing what you can't hear before

But open your heart and you'll find What you're waiting for

You've finally found What you're looking for

So why does it feel so right?

They've got blue skies, white clouds Blue eyes, bright crowds

So why only stay for the night?

Searching around in the lost and found

Sanj?

It's funny how little has changed.

You can keep that if you want.

You mean you don't want it?

It's not that, it's just…

moments to do this clearer or whatever.

-Where'd you be? -Hackney.

-Hackney? -Yeah, Hackney.

That's where you want to do your fellowship?

Yes.

Obviously, there are kids right here that need help.

I was lucky enough I had

people like you and your mum,

you know, I don't know

I learnt from my mum's mistakes, but…

There's a lot of kids that could do with some encouragement.

Hackley, though, Mia.

Live-in care center, a bunch of kids had

trouble in school for all kinds of reasons and…

I'll just fill in their CVs and stuff, I can help them with.

Can't you just do that in Washington?

I'm not from Washington, I'm from Hackney.

You've always been on my way to interview you.

You just seem so lost, Sanj.

I don't even know when it happened or how.

Oh, you mean I've changed?

Yeah.

It's called growing up, Mia. You should try it.

I did, but it didn't suit me.

And even so, when we were kids, that's what we said.

We would make a difference, and we would change things.

Yeah, I know, and I'm going to help kids in America to play football.

How's that different to you

teaching British kids how to fill out their CVs?

What did you put?

You think Washington's too far from Harvard?

Sanj, that's supposed to be in.

-I've got time? I've got, like… -Twenty minutes.

Shreya, you've put Washington, right?

Yeah.

Where are you off to?

I have an assessment.

I'm about to give a presentation.

On what?

Can you come with me?

I have 15 minutes left to rehearse it.

Give you a little high performance.

I just need to go over it.

I would, but I've got…

You're amazing. You know that?

Okay.

You know, people really used to get with these homes.

Exactly.

Mindfulness.

There's nothing wrong with taking care of yourself.

Self-care, self-love, self-compassion.

I've just actually got a new toy, if you ask me.

You know, my question is, how are you going to make the world happy

if you're not happy with yourself?

-I can be happy. -Bye, guys.

I'll be happy. Happy's like my middle name.

-You can make me very happy. -Shut up!

Sanjay, mate, it's on the board.

Yes, lad! Washington!

Good. Yes.

Sanj.

Sanjay

Professor.

Professor.

-This isn't what I wanted. -Welcome to life.

-Yeah, yeah. - It's a competitive program.

Must have been a mistake.

Take it or leave it.

We don't make mistakes. We're not paid enough.

I didn't…

Where the hell is Hyderabad?

Mum, Mia, interfering with my life,

everyone thinking they know what's best for me.

Mia's always pushing it.

What about what I want?

Hey, you want to come up?

No. Lost your phone?

-No, the battery died. -Sure.

Are you okay?

Mia, what the hell!

I'm gonna be honest with you, alright?

You've done a lot of wild things, crazy things.

Things that I was okay with, that I could let go of.

But you crossed the line, Mia.

I just wanted you to do the right thing.

No, you wanted me to do what you felt was right.

This is different.

We're done.

I'm sorry.

Hi. I am Sanjay. Nice to meet--

Sanjay?

Yeah?

I'm Kadeem.

I run the school.

We are very pleased to see you, Sanjay.

You are our lucky charm.

Come.

So, this is your first time in India?

First time.

And you speak Urdu?

A little bit.

A little bit?

We will teach you everything.

You know, five years of trying.

Five years?

No one came.

And this is our first year of fellowship.

You see, we never give up.

Every year, no one came.

Then you.

It's a dream come true.

Is it safe?

You're funny, Sanjay.

A Joker, I can check.

Hey, come here.

No guests, no pets, no smoking.

Hey brother!

He's English, he knows everything.

Welcome home.

Take a shower, freshen up.

And we go.

You, Sanjay, are a dream come true.

But shower first.

You know, we wash more frequently over here

than you people in the UK.

See you. Make it fast.

And if you want to learn, come and see me.

Oay?

Only a few days a week.

Okay?

And it's very important.

Have some.

Take the rest with you.

Wow! Great!

Accommodation is basic. Basic.

Now, the school is a different matter of fact.

We started with nothing.

And now we have three classrooms.

Wooden, yes.

And we have built it with our own hands.

Me, kids, Vada.

My right-hand man.

You'll meet him today.

I could not stop them.

Kadeem, I'm really tired.

Can we just go to the school?

This is the academy.

They left us with this notice.

They said they'll sell the land and--

This is completely ridiculous.

Where will the boys play the ball?

They have been running with them

back and forth for months.

I never expected this.

I'll fix it.

What did you do today?

Football?

Football? Yes?

Sir? Yes.

Go, Sanjay. Just go and do your magic.

-Where? -There, right there.

I think there's enough pitch for you over there.

Just go, go! Go, man, go.

Go! Football!

Go, go! Run, run. Football!

I'm supposed to be in the USA right now.

And I'm here.

In Hyderabad.

You.

What's your position?

-Striker. -Striker.

And you?

Defense.

Defender.

And you, what position?

Goalkeeper.

So I'm going to get to know you guys

a little better over the next few weeks.

You can all run, right?

Yes.

Show me.

God.

Same direction.

No. No! You have to run in the same direction.

Same direction.

Come back, come back.

This, boys…

is called a ladder.

We use it…

in football

to train our agility.

You know what agility is?

I'm going to show you.

Eyes on the box, two feet in, two feet out.

Show me what you got.

Come on, twinkle toes.

Come on, twinkle toes, I'm talking to you.

And you.

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear! Keep it coming, keep it coming.

Let me see what you got.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Harnidh! Harnidh!

Harnidh! Harnidh!

Harnidh! Harnidh!

Harnidh! Harnidh!

Hey.

You.

Who are you?

Where have you been?

I'm here now.

Alright.

You play?

Yeah, I can.

Well, at least someone can.

Show me. Come on.

Two teams.

-Two teams. -Let him run!

Let him run!

Guys, football is a team sport.

You need two teams.

You can't just have one person. You.

No.

Arjun. You.

I'll take them alone.

You?

Yeah, me.

Come on.

Show me.

Football is supposed to be a game of two teams, guys.

This is not how you play.

Come on, come on.

Tomorrow, same time.

Good. Go.

Thank you.

Nice kid.

Nice.

They won't get that far.

They need to be talented.

I'm a stranger here

But I still know you

This golden locket

Let me show you

The ghost inside

Recall the face

Fixed for years in time and space

And when I speak You might still find the trace

-Mother tongue -The gift I lost when I was young

-Mother tongue -Ended even as it began

-Mother tongue -A child of the world, your only son

Mother tongue

Do you know my favorite thing

about being here in Washington is?

Being here with my favorite guy.

Taylor Hanson.

Wow.

You look really good!

Hi, Anita.

Oh, Mia.

It's good you're here.

We can clear the air.

Clear the air?

Well, if I say my piece now,

things don't have to get messy when Sanjay gets back.

Messy?

I find what you did absolutely unforgivable.

So you're not welcome in my home anymore.

Sanjay doesn't want to have anything to do with you.

And I don't want to have anything to do with

a girl who wants to ruin my son's education and future.

He's helping people. I thought you'd be proud.

Things are very different for us.

Everything that we have, everything that

we've built, has come from blood, sweat, and tears.

The sacrifices I have had to make.

So, I'm going to fix this mess for my son,

and then this relationship ends here.

It's not a relationship. He's my friend.

Was.

Not anymore.

My issue is, don't talk to the principal

about his tournament, about his football.

-Why? -Why are we wasting time? We have…

-to come to the point-- -But you've never seen him on the field.

-What "see him on the field"? -Yeah.

Man, I just don't know what to do.

The business thing is, I have to take care of business.

-I have to run a family. -But--

I have to do everything.

But you also have to be the father.

-Do you understand? Your son wants to be… -So…

-…a footballer. -So…

As a father, I'm saying,

-You know, let him-- -Okay, let's resolve this.

You talk about marks. Let me talk about the coach.

They are good.

They try, but the coach is not up to it.

More mascot than a man, you see?

If you don't mind me saying, you're looking quite beat.

Me?

Not too sure of my lining yet?

Don't drink the tap water and don't eat the street food.

Thanks.

United States?

England.

Holidays or relatives?

Actually, I'm supposed to be coaching.

That's my son, Aarev. See?

Midfield? He's what?

He's talented.

But you know, he needs to work harder.

He's passionate, though.

I can see that.

As a midfielder, though, it's important that what he does off the ball

is the same as on the ball.

He needs to make sure he's tracking his runners defensively.

He's doing good, though.

You said that you have come

to India to coach a football team?

Kind of.

Whereabouts?

That's a sore subject.

Nice watch.

Thanks.

This was given to my grandad by the Nawab of Hyderabad.

Come on, run! Don't let him take the ball away from you!

Centerfield! Centerfield! Pass now!

-Go! Go! Go! Go! -Pass, pass!

Yes!

Thank you, you're a genius.

-Sorry. Sorry. -Don't mention it.

Where do you coach, you said?

You got a skill.

What are you? A detective?

Alright. Don't get cocky.

Listen.

When you have as much skill as I do.

It's enough. Look at this. See.

Is that what you want to do? Play football?

I don't know. It's what I'm doing.

We'll see how it goes.

That's not how it goes, man.

You have to have a plan.

Yeah.

I leave the plan to people like you

who sit in the stands.

Alright. What do your parents do?

My mother is unable to work.

She is crippled.

So I look after her a lot.

She lost her leg in a factory when I was small.

I'm sorry. It must be hard.

What about your dad? Does he work?

He died a few years ago in an accident.

At brick kilns.

Sorry for your loss. That must be re--

What do you do?

Me?

I go to uni.

Teach. I study.

Do you study or teach?

I study how to teach.

So you're learning how to get people to learn.

Without yet knowing how to learn yourself.

Stick to football, my friend.

Then teach me. Coach.

Take it.

Oh, wow.

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Seeing you is the supreme pilgrimage For us poor beggars

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Two.

-And two plus two is equal to… Good. -Four.

-Three plus three is equal to… -Six!

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Seeing you is the supreme pilgrimage For us poor beggars

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Sir! Sir!

Sir, I want to…

You'll play football?

It takes practice, kid.

Fish and chips?

If you come, tell me your sorrows

If you come, tell me your sorrows

If you come, tell me your sorrows

If you come, tell me your sorrows

Seeing you I walk away blushing

Come sometime, beloved And gather me to your heart

Come sometime, beloved

Come sometime

Hey.

-Hello. -Hello.

Yeah.

Harnidh's a good kid, but he just doesn't focus.

He has so much potential.

He's got a lot on his plate.

Looking after his mum at that age can't be easy.

He's there.

He does?

Yeah, his dad passed away a few years ago, right?

I see.

Now listen, listen! Listen to me.

Unless you want kids to be shoveling the switch.

or selling their innocence to the thorns.

Idiots.

Now that's the bad news.

These people want to build anything,

anywhere they want to.

Yeah, but if you don't have a permit, Kadeem,

then how are you supposed to keep all that?

See, after a chaos,

grows the new beginning.

And you're our new beginning.

Yeah, but actually

I wanted to talk to you about that.

You're here.

Yeah, but I was wondering if I could…

We talked.

It was too much for us.

No, it's sort of…

But later, we realized…

Later, we realized that this is the only way out.

You don't get it.

We thought that this is too big deal for us,

but a big deal.

This is exactly what we need.

If we win the game, just imagine

what we could do with that money.

You're insane.

Even if we don't win the game, just host the game,

that will keep us going for a month.

Yeah, but where are you going to host the game?

What football academy? You don't even have a pitch.

We have the land.

-Even that-- -It just needs to smooth out.

Even that would cost money.

Where are you going to get that from?

We could be a real academy with a real pitch and kit.

These kids deserve it.

They do.

Why would anyone

from anywhere in the world want to come here?

-Look at this place. -This is…

This is India.

The most magical place in the world.

Your head is in the clouds, Kadeem.

Even if the whole of India got together

to fix this sorry excuse of a pitch,

they would still sell the land.

-Think of-- -But they haven't.

They haven't sold it yet.

This is bigger than you realize.

Never give up.

Never ever give up.

Come.

Okay.

Full-size pitch.

Yes.

Most definitely.

Listen.

It needs your personal statement. Just a few lines.

You post your personal statement

and I'll submit an online form.

You want me to write a personal statement?

Yeah, and you're going to be our lucky charm.

I don't want to--

No football today.

Just write your personal statement.

And take the car if you like it.

You want me to drive?

Just put your foot on the pedal. Then get away.

But if I put my foot down and they put their

foot down and then nobody gets out of the way,

then surely, we'll collide.

Actually, I think I'll walk.

I'm going to change first.

As you wish.

See you later!

Hello.

Hello.

-Hello, Sanjay. -Yeah.

Hi. My name is Mrs. Srivastav.

Your mom called me.

-My mum? -Yes, yes. I know her.

And she actually gave me your number.

Right.

She told me that you're living in Royal Enclave.

-I mean. -Yeah, I am.

Listen, you can't stay there.

I'll send the car tomorrow at ten o'clock.

And yeah, it'll pick you up.

And we'll talk.

Yes. Yes.

Is that alright?

-Okay. -Okay.

Thank you.

Of course, with the school closure, the fellowship

is just going to have to offer me another placement.

No.

Too arrogant.

Not about me.

Of course.

After school closure…

Closure was nobody's fault.

Because of the school closure,

this place was exactly what I wanted.

But given the circumstances,

I think I need to…

move on.

Yes.

I need to move on.

Thank you, Nandu. Get his luggage inside.

Come, Sanjay.

This was not in Slumdog Millionaire.

My husband is in property development.

We are comfortable.

It's going to be your home now.

You know.

I'm so glad I had a chat with your mom.

I had no idea we were family.

I mean my niece.

Your mo--

What happened?

This is amazing.

Isn't it funny how the universe makes you meet?

Welcome to your new home.

Come.

Come.

Aarev, I'm back.

Anybody home?

Here comes my boy.

Come, come, come, Aarev.

Look who's here.

This is your cousin, Sanjay.

He's going to be staying with us now.

-Cousin. -Hey.

And this gentleman is your Uncle Raab.

Hi, sir.

You two, carry on.

India is a land of opportunities for those who are willing to work.

I can see that.

Your son.

I saw him playing on the pitch, Uncle Raab.

He's really talented.

I'm really proud of him.

Everything I do, everything I built is for him.

I can see that.

You have an incredible house.

Let me show you the house.

Come.

We have a ground there.

I'm trying to make it into a football pitch.

This is your room.

The towels are on the bed.

And the shower?

Yeah.

With water?

Of course.

Oh, by the way, put your dirty clothes in there

and make yourself comfortable.

And tomorrow, I'll take you to the boys school.

Alright.

Oh, in case you need something,

just let me know.

Have a good rest.

So what do you think?

This is our famous school.

This is our facilities.

We have our morning practice here.

Yeah, it looks great.

I should really go and visit Kadeem.

Doesn't he have a phone?

-I've been trying to call him. -Don't worry.

I'll speak to my PA

and he'll handle the situation.

Everything will be okay.

It will all be done officially.

Thank you, Principal.

We'll let you know in a couple of days.

Okay, okay.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Sanjay.

-Thank you, sir. -Thank you.

Nice to meet you, too.

See, I told you everything will work out.

Yeah, it's okay.

I should still go and see Kadeem.

Just out of courtesy.

Okay.

Go.

But I really think you should be

teaching those kids, Sanjay.

Not for them,

I think it will be very good for you also.

I think you're right.

Relax.

You're with family now.

Thanks, Amma.

Come in.

Let's walk.

Take a seat.

So, do you realize how serious this is?

I can't afford to be expelled, Dr. Bygraves.

This means everything to me and my mum.

Have you spoken to the young man in question?

You, young lady, are on suspension

till the end of the week.

What?

Count yourself lucky you're not expelled.

Sit.

See, what I plan is like, a 21-acre city and I want to name it Aarev City.

Mumbai is the heart of India.

Hyderabad is the kidney.

You should have listened to

your mother and become a doctor.

That's Aayaz. That's Sanjay.

-Hi, Sanjay. -He is from London.

-Nice meeting you. -Nice to meet you.

And welcome to India.

Thanks.

How long are you going to be here for?

About four weeks.

Only four.

We will ensure our boys will take you

around the town and all the tourist places

like Charminar, Golconda

-and of course, Salar Jung Museum-- -Yes, yes.

You want the young man

to go to parks and museums?

First of all, he'll join us for lunch at Falaknuma Palace.

One of the finest restaurants Hyderabad has to offer.

That's got me broke. I'm done

Why did I block the sun?

And I feel so hopeless without you

So empty you're not here

No, I can't breathe you in

I'm just broken Can't get through

Now you're out of the frame

My heart's in flames

And I still want you

I still love you

I still want you

It's unrequited

And I still want you

I still love you

I still want you

It's unrequited

Into the garden goes

All the feelings down below

I don't think you feel the same

I reached into the tree

But didn't feel you with me

All I touched was my pain

Again. Try it again. Stop at the back.

And again. Take a touch. One touch. Shoot!

And I still want you

I still love you

I still want you

It's unrequited

And I still want you

I still love you

I still want you

It's unrequited

So this is for my stay.

But the room is booked for six weeks.

Yeah, but I can't just…

I've got this letter.

Can you just destroy it for me, please?

Kadeem.

I thought you would be at the school today.

Yeah, about that.

My mum, she…

called up some relatives.

I'm staying with them now.

Look, it's not official, but…

I've kind of started teaching with the Hyderabad Academy.

My mum, she…

She called up a few people and…

I'm not going to apologize for

having my mum fix things for me.

So to hell with those who don't, yeah?

You know what?

I'm not going to apologize for being British or speaking Urdu.

Or not speaking Urdu.

Or liking fish and chips.

I'm not going to apologize for my…

for my privilege.

Sanjay.

See…

You are our lucky charm.

I don't want to be your lucky charm, Kadeem.

I just want work experience.

A job with kudos.

I just want to coach.

The academy has those things.

You don't.

I am you in that shell.

This is not only about the football, Sanjay.

I'm sorry, Kadeem. Honestly.

For all of us, I really am.

People at the school know the pitch.

We have the people.

And you know what, Sanjay?

What?

You were

one of our people.

Vada.

What are you doing here?

Sanjay.

Come back to school.

Kids really miss you.

Look, I'll come by the pitch this afternoon.

Pass, Pass, Pass.

Pass

Go, go, go, go!

Fast, Fast, Fast.

Yeah, yeah.

-Hey, man, what are you doing? -Training.

Fast, Fast, Fast, Fast.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I want to help.

No, you don't.

Not really.

Run! Start!

Come on, fast, fast!

The beautiful game is not just about using your feet.

You have to use your head.

-Yeah? -Yes!

You have to be focused.

-You have to be in the game mentally. -Yes.

You have to be ready.

-Are we ready? -Yes!

Show me you're ready,

and let's have some head drills.

Let's go.

Boom, and good.

Boom, very nice.

Let's go.

Very nice.

One more.

Very good.

Very good. Let's go.

Very good, and you.

Boom, very good.

One more.

Arjun, let's go.

One, two, three.

You'll get it. You'll get it.

Okay, guys, remember, in this drill, it's about precision.

Look at who you're passing to.

Come into the centre.

Control.

Control the ball.

Swap. Swap.

Pass it.

So every morning, I was working with Kadeem's kids.

Centre.

Good. Shoot!

Centering, centering!

And in the afternoon, it was the HAS.

Good. Ready?

Go.

Touch. Shoot.

-Not bad. -Great Goal.

Great goal.

Side to side.

Side to side.

Side to side.

Again.

Centre, center, center.

Good.

Good.

Make a run, make a run, make a run, make a run.

Touch. One.

Not bad.

Good. Down.

Everyone, run backwards. Back.

Back. Come on, Arjun.

Come on!

Spread.

Spread, spread.

Come back.

Easy, easy, easy.

Pass! Good.

One, two, one.

Small children.

A little later.

Girls will also play football.

Yes.

You will play good football.

Yeah. Very good.

Move to forward, come on.

And again!

Take a touch.

One touch.

Guys, remember your team.

Yes.

First and foremost

a team.

Thank you.

Kadeem sent me this note today.

What is it about?

He still wants to host the fellowship game.

It's going to be a laughing stock.

He's being ridiculous, right?

More like delusional.

Look, he doesn't have a real team, pitch, okay?

How can he host anything?

That's what I said.

He just won't listen.

I don't know what to do.

You know, I may have an idea.

Why don't we host the game?

See, he cannot do it, in any case.

But if we host the game, maybe,

maybe some of the players get to play for us.

Kadeem might get publicity.

And at this point, even having people know they exist would help.

And the talented kids get to play.

That could work.

Are they good?

A couple of them, well one.

Harnidh.

He's a natural.

Great.

He's the one we want.

Vada.

This is not what Kadeem wanted.

Yeah, I know, but we could just…

Sanjay, my loyalty is to Kadeem.

You come here and raise the hopes

of these boys and abandon them.

-And then you come back. -It's not like that.

This is too much.

I don't even know where your loyalties lie.

Vada, ask Harnidh.

Ask him if he wants to play on a real pitch,

with real footballers and a real team.

I just want to help.

In my own way.

Let me speak to Harnidh.

Vada!

This could work!

Where's Harnidh today?

He's not been in today.

Can you take me to his house?

Come on, let's go. Let's go.

Who are you?

My name is Sanjay Bachchan.

How can I help you?

I'm looking for Harnidh.

He's a small boy.

Did he live here?

Yeah, he's my son.

You're his dad.

Yeah, we are his parents.

Is something wrong?

Just tell him I came by.

We're going to talk some tactics.

The defenders, you need to make sure that

you're holding your positioning at the back

so the midfielders can express themselves.

The midfielders need to track your runners defensively

and get a supply to the attackers.

Attackers need to make sure you're getting down the wings

and getting supply to the striker

because without supply, the striker can't…

score.

Boys, I'll see you out on the pitch.

We're going to go through some drills in a minute.

Chop, chop! Go on, go on, go on.

Go on, Go!

Vada sent me.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I get held up looking after my mum.

Mum?

Yeah.

How's she doing?

Same.

I have something for you.

It doesn't have to do with our boots today, but put this on.

Go on.

Arms up.

Arms through.

Show me what you've got.

Go on, go on.

All right, move, move, guys, move it, move it.

That's it, that's it.

Pass and move.

Pass and move.

Good.

Good.

Same team.

Arms through.

Aarev, pass to Harnidh.

Harnidh, keep running.

You are on the same team, guys!

You have to pass to each other.

Good.

Aarev!

That's it, that's it.

Pass and move.

They were brilliant!

Hey, Uncle Raab.

Aarav was really glad to have you there today.

The experience means a lot to my son.

Harnidh was a bit nervous, though.

Yeah. Somebody like that, they are going to be nervous.

I think it's just his first day,

he's going to take some time to gel in.

Well, believe me. I know a lot about that kind of thing.

I'm sorry?

That kid?

Maybe he's not really the right fit.

You've got your team, you don't need one more.

Hey, Aarev! You're coming!

Boys!

Pass and move!

Pass and move!

The H.A.S. Wing Fellowship game, they're going to contribute a grand.

What's this for?

You mean the pitch?

No. Pounds sterling.

Then Harnidh will be on the bench.

He's our best player.

He is their best player.

Then think about the kits, you could buy for the kids, the football boots.

You know what they're wearing?

You need my blessings.

What?

Big devil.

You leave a lot of us on the bench.

Boys!

I just wanted to do the right thing.

I'm not going to apologize for my privilege.

It's not only about the football!

I'm not going to apologize for not speaking Urdu.

Why would anyone, anywhere in the world would come here?

Pitches.

Three.

Catering.

On-site.

Host.

Sanjay.

Bachchan.

"Rising from the ashes.

Rising from the ashes."

Everything in?

I was just getting things ready for you.

Well, that is unusual. What kind of surface is that?

I'm guessing mud.

Bachchan's entry.

It's completely buggered up his chances now.

Oh, come on.

You know as well as I do,

you had no intention of going to India.

And what makes you say that?

We're past that stage, Simon.

-Stage? -Yeah, stage.

Don't get me wrong, if you remember

back in the day, I was right there with you.

We became teachers to make a difference.

We went on marches to make a difference.

What changed?

Nothing. Simon, unfortunately.

That's my point.

So, so we just stop bothering?

Absolutely.

What wisdom is there in flogging a dead horse?

I don't know about you, Professor, but

charity sometimes begins at home with oneself.

So let's just pay our bills and retire and

let the Instagrammers blog and raise awareness in their own ways.

But the days of getting one's hands dirty to display

one's own sense of altruism are well and truly over.

Not for me.

Simon.

This is what the fellowship scheme was set up for.

You didn't even think of telling us.

Ungrateful, you know.

Your mother gives you the best opportunity

to do something amazing.

To accomplish something decent, you just threw that away.

I wanted to do something good.

You have any idea what it would have meant for my son?

-He would have… -Raab.

Sanjay, we trusted you.

You're family.

Families support each other.

We help each other.

I'm sorry.

Maybe I can continue coaching, and the kids, they can act as reserves.

Reserve?

You want my son to be a reserve?

Their lives are a mess.

Your children have everything.

I work for it.

They work for it, too.

Your sister's family.

No loyalty.

No commodity, no real

understanding of Hyderabad.

Next time you recognize a foreigner, choose the right one.

He betrayed us.

You know

When I first told my parents

that I was going to marry you,

what did they say?

That boy doesn't have a shoe.

If it was just hard work,

every one of those kids would be billionaires.

Namaste.

Mr. Kadeem?

Yeah.

We are Sanjay's aunt and uncle.

We keep on hearing so much about you,

so we thought that we'd come and meet you, Mr. Kadeem.

He keeps on talking about your,

this passion of football and all.

So that's why we thought we'd come and visit you.

Uncle Raab.

Amma.

How are you?

Good.

What are you doing here?

Well, your uncle Raab has something to say.

No, I was just thinking when

this tournament is going to take place,

your match?

Supposed to be a month.

this ground you're planning to have.

Yeah, the pitch needs a bit of work.

Kadeem, I had this proposal.

CHS Academy has a ground.

All their facilities are there.

I just, like your kids, also will feel good to have a match there.

That's my suggestion.

See, everything is ready.

It's the middle of the city

and people will come and watch.

So what do you say?

Just an idea and think about it.

You can make that happen, Uncle Raab.

See, all we are suggesting, Mr. Kadeem

that, you know-- thank you.

That kids will have all the facilities,

the food, the accommodation, you know,

the practice ground.

You don't have to think about anything.

And Sanjay, I was saying,

you spend more time in coaching kids.

-Yeah. -It's a good idea.

Why spend time on preparing this ground?

So all the kids get to play.

Yeah, yeah.

HAS and Kadeem's, our academy.

This is an amazing opportunity.

Kadeem.

Think over it.

There's no hurry, like, just… Okay?

Thanks, Uncle Raab.

Great idea from Uncle Raab.

But will it work?

Then it hit me.

Barbrook agreed.

No Grand Fellowship, a league game

between HAS and Kadeem's school.

Like our own FA Cup.

The winner gets it all.

Suddenly, it felt like I had a plan.

Shreya.

That's a pretty girl.

Do you want her to be your girlfriend?

No.

Not really.

Kadeem.

-Yeah? -Where's Harnidh?

No idea.

This is a big day today. Hasn't anyone seen him?

No.

I'll go and get him.

I'll see you at the game.

See you.

Hey, Vada.

-Okay. -Yeah.

Harnidh.

Harnidh.

Harnidh!

Harnidh.

Harnidh.

Sir.

Sir, I don't know if you remember.

I came by the other day.

I'm looking for Harnidh.

Can I speak to him?

He went to work.

Work?

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Sanjay

-What are you doing? -Sanjay! No.

Harnidh, what are you doing here?

This is no place for kids. What are you doing here?

Sanjay, leave me alone.

-What is this place? -Sanjay, leave me alone.

-You're not supposed to… -Sanjay, leave me alone.

Hello?

Sanjay?

Yeah. It's me.

Are you okay? I didn't expect to hear from you.

How's the match?

It's really bad.

Did you lose?

No, it's really bad here.

What happened?

They've got kids, organizing bricks.

Not in school.

Working for peanuts.

I don't know how to stop it.

It's bigger than hosting a match or teaching football.

It's bigger than me.

That's because it might be.

Some things are, I guess.

And that's okay, Sanj, because

sometimes it's not about changing the whole world.

Sometimes it's just about trying to

make things that much easier for one person.

Change their whole world.

Do you remember that Confucius' saying

that Barbrook was always going on about?

The man that moved the mountain…

…starts by carrying away small stones.

Thanks, Mia. I've got to go.

Did you know?

Did you do this on purpose?

So that Aarev could play today.

What are you talking about, Sanjay?

You're sounding crazy.

Crazy?

As crazy as six-year-olds having to carry around bricks the whole day.

Crazy as you, Uncle Raab, for introducing me

to a man who I had to stop from attacking Harnidh.

You know Harnidh.

Our star boy.

My star boy.

Who couldn't play today because he had to work.

He has a heat stroke, I don't know.

Listen, I don't know what you're

talking about, but you're being incredibly rude.

You can't talk to us like this in public.

This is completely unacceptable.

Acceptable?

Someone, please explain to me

how this is acceptable for Harnidh.

You saw Harnidh working at the brick hill?

Raab?

He may be working for Aayaz.

His family owes a lot of money.

Without that loan, they would not have survived.

I'm so sorry, Sanjay.

There are unscrupulous people everywhere.

This is not right, Amma.

Listen, why don't you let the game finish

and then we will discuss it at home.

I'll explain it to you--

I don't want you to explain anything to me.

I understand everything already.

You can do this, boys.

If you win this match,

you win yourself a real academy.

A real pitch!

Come on, boys! Don't give up! Come on!

Yes!

Yes.

Yes! Boys!

Yes, boys!

My grandfather's watch was worth more than I thought.

Even the Nawab of Hyderabad would have been proud.

Harnidh, come.

Excuse me. Do you know where Mia is?

This came for you, from Sanjay.

This is…

What does it say?

Fly to India.

I'm a stranger here

But I still know you

-Namaste. -Namaste.

This golden locket

Let me show you

The ghost inside

Recall the face

Fixed for years in time and space

And when I speak You might still find the trace

-Mother tongue. -The gift I lost when I was young

-Mother tongue -Ended even as it began

-Mother tongue -A child of the world, your only son

Mother tongue

I live now Under the grey northern sky

Soft it grows my voice, hard my eyes

I'll kiss the earth here at your feet

So Vada, one hurdle crossed.

-And now, more responsibility. -Yeah.

Never say, "Give up, boss."

Never, ever.

You came.

This place is incredible.

I know, right?

Thank you, Mia.

Don't be silly.

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be here.

I'm sorry.

You were right.

This should've been your choice.

No. Probably would have made the wrong one.

This place has changed my life.

And I want to keep doing this forever.

You should.

With you.

What are you trying to say, Sanj?

You know.

If there's something to say? Then say it.

You're not going to make this easy for me, are you?

Why the hell should I?

All right.

Mia.

I love you.

Well,

I can't believe you made me say that.

I had to hear it just once, didn't I?
