== Plot ==
The film revolves around the relationship between a father and a son. Subhomoy Chatterjee, a widower, lives with his two children- Gourav and Munni. Though poor in academics, Gourav loves cricket as a passion and is extremely talented in it, he is appreciated by everyone for his excellence in Cricket. Gourav wants to become a Professional cricketer in the future and play for [[India national cricket team|Indian Cricket Team]], which only results in his father opposing his dreams, whose wish is to see his son flourish as an engineer or a doctor. Gourav failed in the school pre-board exams and as a result, his principal did not allow him to sit for [[Madhyamik]] unless he scored 75% grades required for Main Board Exams. Heartbroken by this, Subhomoy pleaded with the principal to give him 5 days, during which Gourav would prosper in his studies and produce the required results. But things remain the same.

One day, a violent clash occurred between Gourav and Subhomoy, as Gourav decides not to sit for the exam, raged by this Subhomoy destroys his cricket bat threatening to him, Gourav retaliates he will continue to play come what may and in fury, Subhamoy struck Gourav, to which he fell and his head got a severe injury after getting hit by a bed. He became unconscious and was immediately taken to hospital, where the doctors reported that he had entered into a coma. Following this Doctors inform the Police and get Subhomoy arrested on charges of physical assault, who gets out of prison thanks to his neighbor.

Subhomoy, who was deeply hurt by this incident, changed his thoughts and started protesting against the educational system of the state, which pressured children's minds and took away all the freedom needed to enjoy their childhood. He states his arguments on News TV and soon becomes a local hero and the voice of thousands of common people. But the government authorities took no notice of him. Therefore, Subhomoy hatches a plan to directly talk to the Chief Minister. He ties a bomb (which later turns out to be a fake model made by him and his daughter Munni) to his body and manages to enter the CM's office. He impressed the CM with his lecture on the disadvantages of the modern-day education structure, to which the CM replied that he agreed that there is a need for change and government will try to achieve it. The film ends as the doctors perform an operation on Gourav which turns out to be successful, and he returns as a cricketer, hitting a century in his first cricket match.
