Movie Story
The story is set in Nagpur’s Gaddigodam slums, and it begins with Manjule giving us an up-close look at the slum residents who live off the land. From chain-snatching to selling illegal liquor, the youth participate in a variety of unlawful activities. When they’re not using drugs, some of them gamble and get into fights on the street. One day Vijay Borade (Amitabh Bachchan), a sports coach at St John’s School and a social worker, is nearing retirement. He comes across a bunch of slum children playing football with a plastic barrel. Vijay befriends them and instructs them about the game. The kids soon begin to create life goals as they learn more about themselves and the sport.
