00:00The story starts with Omkar, the nephew of Mahavir Singh Phogat, narrating the tale.
00:04Mahavir Singh Phogat, a former national wrestling champion, lives in a small village in Haryana,
00:10India. His dream of winning a gold medal for his country in wrestling was never realized due to
00:14financial and familial constraints. Now working in a government office, Mahavir still holds onto
00:20his passion for wrestling. He hopes to fulfill his dream vicariously through his future son,
00:24whom he plans to train to become a wrestling champion. Mahavir and his wife, Daya Shobha,
00:29eagerly await the birth of a son. However, they are blessed with four daughters, Gita, Babita,
00:35Ritu, and Sangita. While Mahavir is initially disappointed, he is forced to put aside his
00:40dream and focus on providing for his family. He reluctantly puts away his wrestling equipment,
00:45believing that his dream of winning a gold medal for India is now impossible. One day,
00:50a neighbor comes to their house, complaining that Gita and Babita have beaten up his sons. Curious,
00:56Mahavir asks how two girls could overpower boys. The girls demonstrate their strength and fighting
01:01skills on their cousin Omkar, revealing their natural talent for wrestling. Mahavir sees this
01:05as an opportunity to reignite his dream and decides to train his daughters in wrestling,
01:09despite societal norms and expectations. Mahavir begins training Gita and Babita with a strict
01:14regimen. He wakes them up at 5 a.m. every day for intense workouts, controls their diet,
01:19and forbids any indulgence in street food or sweets. The girls initially struggle with the
01:23harsh training, especially when Mahavir cuts their hair short to prevent distractions and
01:27make training easier. They are upset and resist by sneaking food and changing the alarm clock
01:31to get more sleep. The girls attend a friend's wedding, where they meet Sunita, a girl their age
01:36who is being married off. Sunita expresses envy for Gita and Babita, who have a father investing
01:41in their future, rather than arranging their marriage. This conversation makes the girls
01:46realize how fortunate they are to have a supportive father who believes in their potential. They return
01:51home with a renewed determination to take their training seriously. Mahavir takes Gita to a nearby
01:56village to participate in a local wrestling competition. Initially, the organizers and
02:00spectators are skeptical about a girl competing against boys. However, Mahavir persuades them,
02:06emphasizing the importance of gender equality in sports. Gita chooses to compete against the
02:10strongest boy and, despite losing the match, impresses everyone with her skill and courage.
02:15The villagers, who once doubted Mahavir's decision, begin to respect him and his daughters.
02:20With newfound confidence, Gita and Babita start winning local competitions, earning recognition
02:25and respect in their community. Mahavir's strict training regimen and the girls' dedication pay off
02:30as they become dominant forces in the local. The sisters' success inspires other young
02:35girls in the village to consider wrestling as a viable pursuit. Gita wins at the state level and
02:42qualifies for the national championship. Mahavir, proud but concerned about her future training,
02:47decides to send her to the National Sports Academy in Patiala. This decision is bittersweet
02:51as Mahavir knows he will have less control over her training. Nonetheless, he believes
02:56it is the best path for Gita to achieve greatness. At the academy, Gita encounters a new coach,
03:01Pramod Kadam, who has a different training philosophy from her father's. Coach Kadam
03:05emphasizes modern techniques and a different wrestling style, discouraging Gita from using
03:09her father's methods. Initially, Gita struggles to adapt but gradually begins to embrace the new
03:14style, enjoying the freedom and camaraderie with other athletes. She grows her hair, experiments
03:19with makeup, and enjoys the urban lifestyle, distancing herself from her traditional upbringing.
03:24When Gita returns home, she tries to introduce Babita and the other girls to the new techniques
03:29she learned. This creates tension between her and Mahavir, who feels that Gita is, abandoning her
03:35roots and the methods that brought her success. Mahavir challenges Gita to a match to prove the
03:39effectiveness of his techniques. Gita wins, leaving Mahavir disheartened and questioning
03:44his methods. Babita, observing the strain in the family, urges Gita to reconcile with their father
03:49and stay true to her roots. Gita, now fully immersed in her new training environment,
03:54begins competing in international wrestling tournaments. However, she faces a string of
03:58defeats, losing match after match. The losses begin to take a toll on her confidence and she
04:04starts doubting her abilities and the new techniques she has adopted. Despite her coach's
04:08efforts, Gita feels increasingly disconnected from her roots and struggles to find her footing
04:13in the international arena. Meanwhile, Babita continues to train under Mahavir's guidance and
04:17wins the national championship, earning her place at the National Sports Academy alongside Gita.
04:22Mahavir, worried about Gita's continued losses and the changes in her demeanor, moves to Patiala
04:27to be closer to his daughters. He believes that Gita needs to return to her original training
04:32style to regain her confidence and success. Determined to help Gita, Mahavir rents a small
04:36room near the academy and begins covertly training her in the mornings before the official training
04:40sessions. They wake up early and practice the techniques that had once made Gita a formidable
04:45wrestler. Mahavir also starts analyzing recordings of Gita's matches, identifying the mistakes she
04:50is making and suggesting strategies to overcome them. This secret training helps Gita slowly
04:56regain her confidence. Coach, Pramod Karam becomes aware of Mahavir's involvement and feels threatened
05:02by his influence over Gita. He believes that Mahavir's old-fashioned methods are hindering
05:06Gita's progress and demands that she and Babita either fully commit to his training style or face
05:10consequences. The coach's ultimatum leads to a confrontation and Mahavir is eventually banned
05:14from the academy and the sisters are restricted from leaving the premises. Despite the restrictions,
05:19Mahavir finds a way to continue coaching Gita. He watches her recorded matches and gives her advice
05:24over the phone, pointing out areas for improvement and offering tactical guidance. Gita, struggling
05:29with the pressure of her upcoming matches and the conflicting advice from her coach and father,
05:33begins to understand the value of her father's teachings. She realizes that his methods, though
05:38different, have been instrumental in her success. As the 2010 Commonwealth Games approach, Gita decides
05:43to compete in her regular 55 kilograms weight category despite the coach's preference for her
05:49to fight in a lower weight class. Mahavir, unable to attend the official training sessions, supports
05:55her from a distance. He emphasizes the importance of mental strength and perseverance, reminding her
06:00of the sacrifices they have made to reach this point. Gita's determination to win a gold medal
06:04becomes stronger than ever. On the day of the finals, Mahavir attends the match, eager to
06:09support his daughter. However, just before the match begins, coach Kadam locks Mahavir in a room,
06:14preventing him from giving any last-minute advice to Gita. Undeterred, Gita remembers her father's
06:19teachings and prepares for the match against Emily Benstead from Australia. The match is intense,
06:24with Gita initially struggling to gain an advantage. As the match progresses, Gita recalls
06:29specific strategies her father taught her. She uses a combination of techniques from both her
06:33father's training and the academy, finding a balance that plays to her strengths. In a gripping
06:38final round, Gita scores, a decisive victory, winning the gold medal. The crowd erupts in
06:43celebration, and Gita, overcome with emotion, realizes the importance of her father's unwavering
06:50belief in her. After the victory, the Indian national anthem plays, and Mahavir, still locked
06:55in the room, hears it and knows his daughter has won. He is eventually freed and rushes to the
06:59arena, where Gita proudly shows him the gold medal. The two share a heartfelt moment, with Mahavir
07:05expressing his pride in Gita's accomplishments. The coach, seeing the deep bond between father
07:09and daughter, acknowledges Mahavir's role in Gita's success. Gita's victory marks a significant
07:14moment not only for her family, but also for Indian women in sports. The Phogat sisters become
07:19national heroes, inspiring many young girls to pursue wrestling and challenging societal norms
07:23about gender roles. Mahavir's dream of winning a gold medal for India is realized through his
