The film tells the story of the legendary 'Shadhin Bangla Football Team' founded during the 1971 Liberation War of Bangladesh. They played friendly matches across India to raise funds which would be used in the war. The film also portrays the personal lives of few players of the team and their struggle and losses during the war. Though the film is inspired by true events, it takes cinematic liberty and mixes fiction with reality as well.
