The Film is based on true story of Indian Hockey player Mir Ranjan Negi . Negi was the unfortunate goalkeeper of the Indian Hockey Team which lost 7-1 to Pakistan in Asian Games Hockey Final , back in 1982 . Though the loss was engineered by faults of the entire team, Negi the goalkeeper was dubbed the villain, and was even tagged as a traitor . Such accuasations brought about an untimely End of Negi%u2019s international career. Negi redeemed his lost glory 16 years later, when he coached the Indian Men%u2019s Hockey team in Bangkok Asian Games 1998 , where the team fetched Gold medal. He replicated the success with Indian Women%u2019s Hockey Team as well in Manchester Commonwealth Games of 2002- Courtesy- Wikipedia
