Alappuzha Gymkhana (2025) Movie Script

For this is my body and blood.
All of you, partake of this.
[in unison] Yeahhh man!
-So, boys...
-Yes.
As our Plus Two results are out today,
once we check them,
whether we pass or fail,
we're getting drunk...
happily, okay?
-Okay.
-Alright, Shanu, you may begin.
-Valuth (Biggie), you go.
-Shifas Ahmed.
6 5 0 1 1 3
-Failed.
-Ah, okay.
-So...
-Happy?
-Drink up.
-Cheers!
-Cheruth (Little), you next.
-Shifas Ali.
6 8 0...
Hmm... 1 1 8.
Cheers!
David John.
6 8 0 1 1 1.
Eh?
Failed?
Cheers.
-Jojo Johnson.
-Jojo... Johnson...
Roll number... 6 5 0...
-You know it?
-1 1 5.
What's it?
-Mm...
-Check once more.
Shut up and drink.
Drink up, man.
-So...
-Cheers.
Cheers!
-Shall I check?
-Yes, don't waste time.
Once we know that too,
we can drink peacefully.
I...
am not gonna drink today.
-What happened?
-Why not?
Why won't you drink?
We had decided we'd drink
whether we pass or fail, no?
I passed.
I'll go home and come.
My parents would've reached.
They won't like it
if I go home drunk.
I'll come to your house in the evening.
-For what joy?
-To drink.
-Okay, then.
-Hey, put your share and go.
You give and put it on the tab.
Whose tab?
Yours.
What kinda mindset is that, huh?
He said we'll drink together happily,
whether we pass or fail.
If he keeps this up,
Shanu is gonna get it good.
He definitely will!
Exactly, he'll get a good job.
He passed, no?
Huh?
And we'll sit around like this, screwed.
Dude, enough with such unnecessary talk.
Just take this...
We need to finish it, right?
But still...
where exactly did we go wrong?
Huh?
The whole education system is messed up.
You're right. Absolutely right.
It's not about education,
you need to have an international attitude.
-Correct.
-Attitude...
-Understood?
-Then what will we do?
How about we order
one more bottle of toddy?
Got money?
Bro! Two pots of toddy!
I'm just wondering how I'll get home now.
I had challenged my mom
that I'll pass Plus Two.
You come to my house.
Then where will you go?
Where can I go?
I'll go to your house.
I had promised Lovely in Italy that
I'd send you there if you passed Plus Two.
Sigh.
Now how will I call her
and talk about you failing?
Such an embarrassment.
Jojo...
Will you ever give me some peace?
At least for a day?
Jojo!
-Jo--
-Ah...
Hi Mummy.
Sit down, shall I get you some food?
No need, Mummy.
My mom made biriyani
because the results were out.
-I'm stuffed.
-Did you get A+?
Yes, three of them.
-Really?
-Yes.
Watch and learn!
That's how boys should be.
All this time with him,
why can't you be like him?
You wait, I'll get you something.
Don't know how he's gonna pass now.
What, man? Eat!
Get out of my house, you loser!
Why? What did I do?
Get out!
Will see you in the boat tomorrow morning.
Okay.
It's Happy Birthday tomorrow, don't forget.
Mummy, I'm leaving.
He kicked me out.
Hey, wait.
Lime, citrus, lemon
You are my loveable woman
Lime, citrus, lemon
You are my loveable woman
With a wink from mirror-like eyes
I saw you standing right before me
All good?
Eh?
Looks like Touch Suni has started.
Should we toss him into the water?
No need for CT anymore, right?
Listen Jojo...
She's not even minding you,
so much attitude!
That attitude is the reason for my crush.
Let me go and start my duty.
-Move.
-Is that so...
Shall I also come?
For what?
When you cast a net,
might as well catch two fish.
What about Avantika?
Sigh... she made me her bestie.
Shanu, you're only good for
the bestie zone.
Looks like you'll be stuck there
for the rest of your life.
Hold this.
Listen to some music and chill here.
Every day, every day
A coffee date filled
with laughter and longing
Every day, every day
A fairytale filled
with laughter and longing
One handsome fella was checking you out,
but you didn't mind him at all.
Where? Who's that?
-That would be me...
-Ugh!
Lame!
A fairytale filled
with laughter and longing
Scoring low on exams
isnt such a big failure.
I'll take care of that.
Everyday...
Every day, every day
Every day, every day
Every day, every day
The view from the boat
Totally awesome!
Didn't I tell you I'll take care?
Like wildfire spreading, top to bottom
She is my darling melody
Her voice, pure harmony!
When I call her near
Acting so normally!
She is so lovely
She's just like family
Oh, just let me be!
Let me live happily
Come.
-Let's go?
-Yes, let us!
Happily
Lime, citrus, lemon
Every day, every day
Every day, every day
You are my loveable woman
Every day, every day
Every day, every day
Happy Birthday Jojo!
Here.
I'm doomed after the results,
how am I supposed to have a happy birthday?
Open it.
I'll check it later.
No way! I'll open it.
Why are you so sad?
You should've studied when you had to.
I wrote so many bits and gave you.
None of them worked.
But it's okay.
Your time is not good.
Mmm... that's true.
Planetary trouble.
-Thanks.
-Soubhagyam lottery.
-Results tomorrow!
-Hey...
-Why now?
-It's your birthday, right. Let's try.
I don't want a lottery, Sherin.
-No need for the lottery.
-She'll pay if you've no money.
I've got enough and more money...
How much is the first prize
for this lottery?
75 lakh rupees.
Hmph.
The one sitting beside me
is worth a lot more than that.
You please leave now.
We've got some birthday
chit-chat to do!
Don't want one.
Happy Birthday!
-Thank you!
-Keep it and use it next year.
Sherin.
Look over there.
Every day, every day
Jojo, don't let this pig have
another drop of alcohol!
No way! He's done drinking with us.
Shifas
-Hey Alby!
-Come here.
Hey, give him beef or whatever.
-What do you need?
-I saw you stalking Maria.
Stalk?! Who, me?!
I didn't stalk, okay? He's bluffing.
Why'd you ask her for a kiss?
A kiss?
Why ask her?
I get plenty at home from my mom!
Don't need hers.
Listen up, Shifas!
You know me. I know you.
So, don't act too smart!
Bro, everyone knows everyone here.
-What's your problem, huh?
-Did I ask you, huh?
Move, man!
-You!
-I've already told him what I had to.
-He'll listen.
-Alby!
Get out. It's business time.
You go out and talk.
Cheruth, I just wanted to tell them.
Hope they understood.
Alright.
See you around.
I'll see!
Her.
Don't you have anything else to do, man?
Why'd you ask her for a kiss?
I didn't ask.
-She said she'd give.
-You'll ask, I know!
-DJ!
-Hm?
Some guy came, threatened Valuth,
said he'll beat him up and left.
Why?
Because he messaged some girl.
But why does he care?
So many guys can fish from the same pond.
Cheruth...
Didn't you give him something to take away?
Get lost! I've got work to do.
DJ, I've forgiven.
How can we just forgive like that?
He showed up here today,
might beat us up tomorrow, who knows?
DJ, we need to teach him a lesson.
He must still be somewhere around.
Cheruth.
Keep the knife away.
Which one is he?
The one wearing
the yellow and black jersey.
And the one with him is Maria.
Isn't that Alby?
We went to Sunday school together.
So?
DJ, make sure they're power punches, okay?
Alby!
-What, huh?
-Land, lady and gold.
Weren't we taught
not to fight each other over these?
And still, you came to the shop
and tried to show off.
What about him asking for a kiss?
At least, he had the decency to ask.
What you did is indecent.
If it was for asking a kiss,
go ahead and hit him.
Eh?
Or no need.
You hit me.
-Hold this.
-Yeah, man!
-DJ!
-DJ...
Hey DJ!
-Get up, man!
-Open your eyes.
-Will he open?
-He's unconscious.
DJ, get up!
DJ, come on, wake up!
See? That's why I said I forgave him.
He's a State-level boxer.
-State-level boxer?
-Yes.
Boxer?
Bring me back to my feet
But it was his come back
He ain't no scumbag
There is no place like the ring
But it was his come back
He ain't no scumbag
Lighting me to my belt
But it was his come back
He ain't no scumbag
Hyping up on the bell
Deep down there is a feeling
Like its so freeing
Anticipating
Hallucinating
Almost like mating
Sipping on hatred
Licking lucozade
Whats with the matrix
Red pill whats latest?
Sukcing on latex
Twitter then Now X
Calling me ex-S
Showing ma flexes
It's just distractions
Killing my actions
Moving to madness
Drilling new fadness
Stop playing games YOU
Show me some respect!
Working on the body
Jabbing, throwing slowly
Throwing towel and he
Moving like a newbee
Furious and truly
Serious and bleedin'
Tedious yet dreamin'
PTSDs child
What's it, man?
Wait, let everyone come.
Who's gonna come?
But it was his come back
He ain't no scumbag
Okay.
What's this, man?
Are you eating?
-What's up?
-Okay, is everyone here?
-Tell.
-Say it quickly, I'm on the pot.
Ive got a brilliant idea
for us to pass Plus Two easily
and get into college.
And whats that?
Quota!
-You mean quarter?
-Not that!
If we participate in sports
or arts up to the State level,
we'll get grace marks.
And that way, we can get into the quota.
Failing a subject wont even be
a matter of subject anymore.
We can get admission
in any college of our choice.
-For real?
-Yeah.
Since we've already dipped
our toes into arts and flopped,
how about we bring some freshness
and choose sports?
Kids these days are after video games.
Let's try something real.
-We can do that.
-But what's a real sport?
If you ask like that...
Well, look around, there's football,
cricket, badminton...
Mm...
But we need a lot of people
for these sports.
That won't work out.
I've got something in mind.
But that's... DJ...
-Sorry...
-What for?
Stop the build-up and just say it.
-Boxing!
-Boxing?!
-Yes!
-Why?!
There are so many other sports.
That's what I'm saying,
we need more people for other sports.
Here, you can get into the ring
and take on each other, one by one.
If you're up against someone,
won't you hit?
Of course, we will.
We'll beat them to pulp.
If I get hit, I'll hit back.
Which is why it is perfect for us.
Boxing!
Boxing... hm...
But we need to find a place in Alappuzha
thatll teach us boxing.
There's one such place.
Where?
Alappuzha Gymkhana.
Gymkhana...
Alappuzha Gymkhana.
Okay.
ALAPPUZHA GYMKHANA
'ALAPPUZHA GYMKHANA'
Looks like it's rundown...
Shut up, man!
It's not rundown, it's vintage.
-Bro...
-Yeah.
What's up, Cheruth?
We want to learn boxing.
All of you?
[together] Yes!
That's great.
You'll have to pay 1000 rupees advance
and 500 monthly fees.
-I'm going.
-Can you lower it a bit?
This book?
-Jojo...
-Bro, can you make some adjustments?
-We're just kids after all.
-What now...
Aren't you Ahmed's son? The butcher--
Yes. These are my boys.
So, please reduce...
What to do? All our own kids...
Do one thing.
Can you pay 300 rupees advance
and 150 monthly fees?
-Yes, set!
-Got EMI?
Your muscles will grow
in instalments too. That okay?
-That's okay.
-Half of six-pack...
-I want six-pack.
-Be quiet.
Instalment, it seems. How annoying.
Hey.
-What's up?
-These guys... Well, you say it.
We want to learn boxing.
For what reason?
Bro, next year we all want to get into
SD College through the sports quota.
We've decided to learn boxing
for grace marks.
-Right, guys?
-[in unison] Yes, yes.
Bro, can you somehow
make it happen for us?
-Come.
-Yeah!
Come on!
Where are the gloves, bro?
First...
Run around this factory 50 times.
Let your body sweat.
Okay?
Ufff... do we have to?
50 rounds...
This is quite small, you guys run.
-Get lost!
-It's not a lot.
Just 50 rounds, we can finish it fast.
Come on.
-We'll be panting like dogs.
-What's wrong with him?
-Is he mad?
-Run!
Fate is ruthless
Failures never end
In my homeland stands
This lone establishment
Weary hopes
Cling to this one place
How bright is the future?
How strong is desire?
-Rest on its promise
-Come on, boys!
Come on!
A thousand hopes
Lift this heavy curse
O five fists, rise and shine!
Doors stay open, welcome
Enough, let's stop, man.
Guiding dreams
Doors stay open, welcome
One.
Guiding dreams
Cheruth...
Jojo... I feel like puking.
Pass that water.
How many rounds left?
45...
Ask him if we can run it in 45 days?
Get lost, man!
Come! Boys!
Come on, boys!
Enough resting, come on!
Come on, come on.
I wonder if they're staying up at night
with the lights on, smoking stuff.
They look at us with disrespect.
-That tall--
-Bro...
-Oh, here they are.
-Ran...
Then, go home, all of you.
Huh?
What about boxing?
All of you bring your sportswear tomorrow.
Then do another 50 rounds around this.
We'll see after that.
Is it running again tomorrow?
Let's just sleep here then.
No, man. He's mad, he'll make us run again.
Let's go home.
One.
One.
BRO! Bro...
-One...
-Finished.
Ow...
Finished...
Ran...
Finished?
Go stand at the back.
-One...
-One...
-One...
-One...
-One...
-One...
-One...
-One...
-Bro...
-Hm?
I don't want boxing.
I'll do wrestling.
You stand over there. I'll come now.
-DJ!
-Get lost, I'm gonna learn wrestling.
-One...
-One...
Eh, is this wrestling? Nice!
-One...
-One...
This is for the new folks.
Focus on me.
First, the boxing stance.
Keep your left leg slightly back.
Put your weight on it.
Got it?
Next is the guard.
Keep both hands like this...
...close to your face.
You know why?
So you don't get hit in the face.
Whenever you lower your hands,
you'll keep taking punches to the face.
Okay?
Like this, right?
Here... hold it close.
Not over your head.
Hold it like this.
Closer, like this.
Okay.
Mine is right.
He knows there's no point telling you.
-You're just jealous.
-Next...
Look at your opponent's face and...
One.
-One.
-One.
One...
-One.
-[in unison] One.
One...
One...
-Keep practising.
-One.
Shibu, show them.
-One...
-One...
-One...
-One...
One.
One.
One.
Mummy.
-MUMMY!
-Oh!
You scared me.
What's it?
Who scared whom?
I thought you got an electric shock.
Ah!
This won't be enough from tomorrow.
Soya and chutney and stuff.
I need more protein.
I've started boxing training.
Oh!
How about just sticking to what you can do?
Boxing, it seems.
He's back with his next trick.
When someone's doing something good,
can't you at least say one nice thing?
How pathetic, Mummy!
-Hmph!
-Get lost!
Boxing, hmph!
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
Listen, Shibu?
How much longer do we have to do this?
It's been the same thing for a month!
One, one, one...
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
-One.
One minute, Shibu.
-Salim bro!
-Yeah?
So, we've learnt one.
What next?
Watch.
Two.
-Two.
-Two.
-Ah!
-Do it.
Hey Jojo!
Hey!
I won't be coming tomorrow onwards.
One for a month, two for two months...
Shanu!
-Two.
-Two.
-Two.
-Two.
-Two.
-Two.
-Two.
-Two.
Yesterday, I messaged you
and you were online,
-but you didnt reply. Whys that, Jojo?
-That...
Anu, its not like that.
You know Ive started boxing training.
Weve got the District-level match
next week.
-So, I was on a video call with my coach.
-Really?
Oh, really?
Sorry, you really think
Id ignore you on purpose?
Can you actually punch someone
and knock them down?
Hey, I could always punch.
Now, I just do it a bit more technically.
Can you take down that Touch Suni guy?
You mean now?
Yes.
DJ...
No thanks, my dear.
Just look at him.
If I go straight up to him,
throw a 'One' to his right side
and a 'Two' to his left side,
hell fall straight into the water.
-Shall I?
-Yeah.
But theres one problem.
Whats that?
If I knock him into the water now,
thats gonna be a police case.
-They'll ask, who punched him and why?
-As if he would've smashed!
And your dad might find out.
Hell take away your phone, your laptop,
might even stop your tuition!
Itll be a total mess.
You sure you want that?
No, forget it.
Or maybe we should face this together.
Nah, I was just joking.
-Ill go punch him and be right back.
-No, Jojo, please.
DJ shall I just do it?
Enough, stop it, man!
No, mate, let it go!
Ill get him when you are not around.
Then Ill sort him out.
I got really scared!
Are you learning kick-boxing
or just normal boxing?
Theres only one type of boxing in boxing.
-Right, man?
-Ah, One... Two...
Its normal boxing! Normal boxing!
-Yes, normal... normal boxing.
-Oh, okay.
I dont bother what kind and all.
Once I step into the ring,
its all about smashing my opponent.
Okay, then.
See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see you.
-Bye.
-Which boxing are we learning?
-One-Two boxing!
Whoa! I panicked for a second,
thinking Id lose my phone and laptop.
Oye!
Hi! Come.
Two...
Two...
-Two!
-Two...
Two...
-Two!
-Two...
-Two.
-Two.
Two...
Two.
Two...
-Who's that?
-Joshua...
Two.
-Two!
-Two...
-Two!
-Two...
Stop.
Do you guys know who this is?
Antony Joshua.
Hes played at the National level.
Right now, hes training
to compete for South Asia.
But it all started right here,
in our very own Gymkhana.
Isn't that right?
With the District championship coming up,
Joshuas going to be training you
for the next few days.
Dont think Im just hyping him up,
hes the best!
You guys are lucky
to have him as your coach.
Right, Joshua?
If youve got anything to say to them,
go ahead.
Ive got wrestling coaching over there.
Okay.
How long have you been learning boxing?
One week.
One month.
Two weeks.
And you think you can box
in this pathetic state?
No fitness, no proper shoes
Youre showing up for boxing
like its a casual game in the backyard.
You havent even worn boxing gloves yet
have you?
No.
Come.
Come on.
Put these gloves on, quick.
Hey, come on.
Come on, punch.
Thats how you punch?
Put some power into it!
When I say punch,
I dont mean just swinging your hands around.
The most powerful punch in the world
comes from a boxer.
And it doesnt just happen naturally.
Your speed, timing, weight delivery...
all of it has to come together.
Get into your boxing stance.
Step back a little, widen your stance.
Chin down.
Your legs and hips
need to rotate at the same time.
Okay
And you need to connect the punch
at the right moment. Okay?
Okay.
Now, turn your body full power!
Full!
Hey, lift it up... come on!

Aha!
What's this, Pappa?
What is this?
Jojo,
your father has decided to get updated.
Do you know something?
Have you ever heard of VST?
With that technology, we can turn
your voice into a monkeys voice,
-and the other way around too.
-Oh!
Once I master it,
my good days will finally begin!
This is the first step.
That actually sounds pretty good, Pappa.
Pappa, you shouldnt just be
sitting at home doing nothing.
You deserve the world.
And where did...
Hey, listen...
And where did
the money for all this come from?
No wonder, Mummy was crying.
Pappa, listen,
Pappa... Pappa...
Weve got a lot of expenses coming up.
Things arent like before.
I...
I'm not some random bloke,
but the boxing champion of Alappuzha.
-You? Really?
-Why not?
How on earth did that happen?
Just listen to me.
Since there's a sports quota,
my college admission will be easier.
But therell be some
donation money involved.
So, you need to sort that out.
What the--
-Hello champion...
-Ah!
-Hi.
-Congratulations.
Thank you, thank you.
Didnt see you there!
I was looking all over for you.
We left right after your fight.
-Oh, yeah?
-So, no treat for winning?
Of course! I'll arrange a party.
Just tell me
when it's convenient for you.
With your girlfriend? A girl, huh?
No way! Mummy will kill me.
Nowadays parties are like that.
-Right?
-Exactly!
How long are we gonna
keep looking at each other's faces?
Im bored of it!
Let the girls join us too.
My Anupama is bringing Keziya along too.
Shanu...
DJ, please, man.
Hold this.
Why didnt you tell me earlier?
I was waiting for the right time
to drop this news.
-Right?
-Of course!
A vehicle's here!
-Vehicle? A whole ride full of girls?!
-It's party time!
Come, my dears.
-Come, Cheruth.
-Who the hell are these girls?
Hey, isnt that Albys girlfriend?
-Love, careful getting off the bike.
-You're the one who got punched!
-And he got the girl!
-Bloody swine!
He's the real warrior!
Come on in, buddy!
The flower boy is all dolled up
to impress, huh?
-Whats on your shirt? A fruit stall?
-Fruit stall?
Come in.
To all my friends and my beautiful lady.
Everyone, listen up! Ahem!
We, the Alappuzha champs are in the house
and the celebration begins right here!
-Keziya, cheers.
-Cheers.
-Baby, cheers.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
Cheers.
Give me your hand.
Shanu, careful, you'll sprain your back!
Don't worry, man!
Tch! Losers!
-Shall we take a selfie?
-Nah, lets record them instead!
Can we switch up the dance moves a bit?
Been doing the same thing forever now!
Hey, shall I show you around the house?
-Hm?
-Hmm... Alright, lets go.
-Yeah, come on.
-Okay.
Was dancing always so easy?
This is the dining area.
It's a very eco-friendly house.
What the hell is this, a home tour?
Hey, you!
Where are you off to?
Just a minute.
-Jojo...
-Yeah.
It's getting nasty.
Best to throw everyone out.
DJs dad conned my father
and bought this land and house.
For real?
Yep, theyre cousins.
Ohh.
So technically, this is like our house too.
Ohh.
This is the bedroom.
Oh wow.
-Is that a balcony?
-Yeah, that's a balcony.
Hay, no! Dont go there!
Oh!
You brought me up here to kiss me,
didnt you, Jojo?
Eh?
What kiss will it be?
French?
Butterfly?
Eskimo?
Hickey?
Vampire?
Single lip?
Angel?
Or leave it! Let it be a surprise!
-I'm excited.
-Me too.
I'm ready.
-Can I say something?
-Yeah?
-I dont think I can do this.
-Huh?
If Im under too much pressure,
Ill just freeze.
Shall we head back down?
What do you think?
Yeah, lets go.
Come.
Whoa! That was sick!
-Move aside, boy, pass me that ball.
-Jojo, throw it!
Here goes!
OH!
See.
Cheers, guys.
Cheers.
Now, you can give it a shot.
Gimme the ball,
so that I can throw the damn thing.
Gimme.
It was pure comedy upstairs.
-What happened?
-I'll tell you.
Didnt I just show you
how to throw properly?
On rare occasions, I mess up.
-Ill give it a go, pass it here.
-Baby, wanna try?
-No, babe.
-Go on, have a go!
Just flick it like this.
What happened?
Mom just called, gotta go home urgently.
Are you sure?
Mm, Im sure.
-Alright, then.
-Okay.
See you.
-Hope you enjoyed the party.
-Of course.
-See you.
-See you.
Oh!
Just one more chance.
After that, party is over.
Party isn't over. Don't worry, baby.
Pass the ball.
Huh? Break up?
Party is over!
Jojo, my wish is to have a boyfriend
who can kiss really good.
I don't think this will work.
-Cheers!
-I'm sorry.
Bye.
Cheruth, let's leave after this.
Let's go home.
Go and drop your baby.
Stop everything. Mom will be here soon.
-Jojo.
-Sherin.
-Yeah.
-Can I ask you something?
Yeah, make it fast.
What talents would you wish for
in your boyfriend?
I've a lot of wishes.
But my biggest wish right now
is to make this Vellayappam properly.
Call me back after a while, okay?
Kiss me, Jojo.
I don't think I can.
One-Two.
Extend One.
Pshhh!
Hey! If you came here to listen to songs,
why not just stay home?
Why come here?
Come on.
Where's little Shifas?
Our load's arriving today,
so he'll be a bit busy.
You're wasting time chasing chicken poop.
Not poop, it's eggs!
Coach, aren't you going for
the South Asian championship?
When's the practice for that?
They'll call when it's time.
Instead of sending me off to fight,
you guys should practice properly.
Or you'll all get beaten black and blue.
It's the State match.
Coach, didn't we fight it out
at the District level to get here?
Once we're in the ring,
we'll break bones, no matter who it is.
-Right, Shifas?
-Of course.
-Are you all that confident?
-[in unison] Yes!
Then both of you come here.
Let's spar.
If either of you can land
even one punch on my face,
you can talk big.
-Jojo...
-Come.
-Jojo.
-Hm?
Let's smash.
Come on, Jojo!
Oh, mother!
Ow!
Come!
You go.
Go on!
Oh, no!
Huh? How was that?
Put ice pack.
Hm?
What happened?
You seem to have lost your old charm.
Hmm...
Where exactly did we go wrong, Jojo?
I think everywhere.
Not feeling great.
No energy.
No concentration.
Don't feel like doing anything.
Can't even box properly.
I can't even kiss right.
Eh?
Who did you kiss now?
Um... I mean...
Not like that.
-Can I ask you something?
-Yeah.
What kind of kiss do you like most?
-What kind?
-Yes.
Isn't there just one type of kiss?
-Really?
-Yeah.
Keep it simple and sweet. That's all.
Keep it simple and sweet...
Now you give me a kiss.
Pow, pow!
Hah!
Hah, hah!
I had called and informed.
I'll call.
-I'm at the gym.
-Bro...
I'm Deepak.
From Spartan's Club, Haripad.
Ah, okay.
Look, it's the guy who beat up Shibu.
Shibu!
Joshua.
This is Deepak.
75 plus category.
He'll be joining us.
I know him. I saw the fight.
-Deepak.
-Who was your coach?
I don't have a coach.
I mostly learnt it from YouTube.
Oh...
-Come.
-Alright then.
All the very best!
I don't get time to train because of work.
So, YouTube is the only hope.
What do you do?
Painting.
Hah, hah!
Who's he, huh?
What a show-off!
Salim bro... look.
Are you Christopher?
No. Kiran.
Didn't Mother from the Convent call you?
Ah!
It's your second time for the State, right?
Missed it the last time.
But this time, I'll get it!
They'll take time to reach.
-Sit over there.
-Okay.
Who's that?
Hey, wassup guys?
Is he a bat?
He looks like some crossbreed.
This doesn't feel steady.
He's probably gonna get it from me.
-Looks like you'll have to.
-Jojo.
One more guy was supposed to come, right?
Christopher or something...
-Big shopper?
-Not big shopper, man. Christopher.
A guys been sitting there
like a statue for a while now.
You think that's him?
Are you Christopher?
Yes, that's me.
Why didn't you say anything?
But no one called me for that.
So, should I come and call you?
No, I'll call myself from there.
I'm doing a mono-act here.
Don't throw that attitude, come.
The State meet will happen in Kochi
in two months.
That doesn't mean you've two months.
You've only got two months.
This practice won't cut it.
You all need to step it up!
And this time
you're not playing for Gymkhana.
You're playing for Alappuzha district.
Don't forget that.
Plenty of folks have gone for
this competition from here before too.
These days, it's nothing!
Back when we used to participate...
Well, nothing happened.
Which is why I'm telling you,
my dear children,
the cup has to come to Alappuzha this time.
It's my wish.
Joshua will tell you the rest.
Boys!
Our training begins tomorrow.
Morning, 5.30, 10 kilometres run.
Then, pad work and technical sparring.
For one and half hours.
-In the evening, one hour of conditioning.
-Okay.
I'll give each of you a diet plan.
Everyone must follow that.
If one of you makes a mistake,
you'll all be punished.
-Clear?
-[together] Yes, Coach!
Come on.
Let 'em hurl stones
Nail us to the cross
Devour our peace
Shatter our will
Let 'em hurl stones
Nail us to the cross

Our local Muhammad Ali
Steps into the ring
Throwing punches to a T

Mummy!
Bring me the right amount of protein!
Pappa.
When Im back,
Ill be bringing a lot of gold,
so better find a place to stash it.
Don't say you don't want it then!
-My dear Jojo.
-Yes?
Instead of studying and passing your exams,
why are you going around getting beaten up?
It's not just for us.
I'm a boxer competing in
the Kerala State Boxing Competition
for Alappuzha.
Boxing isnt just going around
getting beaten up!
So, Mr. Boxer, do one thing.
On your way,
get the ambulance guy's number.
You might need it when you're back.
That's it!
No point staying here any longer.
We'll see if I'm coming back
in an ambulance
or as a champion, okay!
If you want, eat and go!
You stay strong and go.
It's goin' down, yo check it listen,
Im bout to go the full distance
This competition imma crush
is the mission fam
Imma conquer this arena,
it's been my entire dream to be here
And show yall what I pack
in these fists man
I ain't stoppin till the crowd roars
Put your hands up in the air
for the top player
Imma step up each round, soar
Put your hands up in the air
for the top player
A dream like fruit grew within me
Ripened, full and glowing bright
Even in the scorching summer
I long to pluck it, I long to taste it
But it slips from my hands
and takes flight
It's goin' down, yo check it listen,
We fly
It makes me want to carve into it,
Makes me want to kiss it
Imma be tellin you how I
made it to the top-most, illest spot
Oh, yeahhh!
Don't stuff yourselves, okay?
They'll be checking weights.
Gotta stay strong to punch hard
in the evening.
That's why I'm telling you.
You eat.
Aren't you eating?
Nah!
This has 22 grams of protein.
And that has eight grams of protein
as well as fat and carbs. Uff!
I made a mistake, man. Let go!
Coach, isn't the competition
in the evening?
Why are they busting their backs right now?
They're not here for a tour like us.
Coach, they say that before a tough battle,
you need to rest properly.
So, go ahead and rest.
It's connected to Bluetooth.
Bro, I just got hit by that other thing.
-By what?
-This moment we're in right now...
that feeling like it's happened
exactly like this before?
Deja vu.
-Yeah.
-I get that feeling sometimes too.
-You know it?
-Of course.
You must've felt it too.
Just soak it in!
Deja is a French word.
It means "already seen".
-We don't need to discuss it, let it go.
-No, no. Wait.
They say, basically it is an eye problem,
a memory fault, a simulation glitch
or something like that.
There are some
conspiracy theories surrounding it.
People who dont understand things,
call everything a conspiracy theory.
Get lost!
Is that for water cutting?
Imma be tellin you how I
made it to the top-most, illest spot
Puttin in future-win practice
I'm a beast when I'm in the box
I got a vision I'm chargin',
in the Arena till I drop
Here we go, move it,
I'm bout to go in, this is the start
Come on, get up!
What's it?
-Let's go to the weigh-in.
-Is it time?
Yes, it's time.
Come on.
Woohoo!
You left without calling me.
I fell asleep and had an amazing dream.
Why didnt you just continue sleeping?
DJ! I'm the champion today.
Oho!
Coach, look at them.
Tea isn't good.
Very less milk.
Hey!
-Should've ordered a shake.
-Jojo!
-Yes?
-Enough eating.
-Do you want puffs?
-I'll eat and come.
You want? It's very hot.
Don't want?
-Whose loss? Coach's loss!
-You eat.
Ya boi got what it takes to move up
Hoppin' out the zone
when i was down stuck
-What's this, man?
-What's this, Coach?
-If you're done eating, go and get ready.
-You need to weigh-in.
-Weigh-in?
Isn't it the same 60 kg category,
like how it was at the District level?
That's how it is there.
Here, they weigh you first.
And whatever your weight is,
that's your category.
But...
They weren't crazy
running around with sacks in the morning.
Got it?
Do you want?
No thanks. Sorry.
What's this, man?
Gotta bulk up for the weigh-in, right?
What kind of captain are you?
What are you looking at?
Get ready.
Ya boi got what it takes to move up
Hoppin out the zone
when i was down stuck
Hopin life is on my side, need the luck
Im in this to stack my shelves
with golden cups
-All set?
-Yes.
Of course!
-Look at his arms.
One punch, and it's lights out.
Oh, boy...
You can sleep there forever.
Got your receipt?
This isnt something to stuff in
your underwear, you gotta present it.
Christopher, did you eat?
-I did.
-Be livelier.
-I am!
-Shifas Ali.
-These colourful guys are our boys.
This is Shifas.
-Name?
-'Valuth' Shifas.
I mean Shifas Ahmed.
-That's Jojo.
-Jojo.
-Jojo Johnson.
-Isn't that what I said?
-He can hear, you go.
-Huh?
Hey, Jojo!
What's this?
He competed in 60 for the district.
Can you make an adjustment?
I'll do my job, Shamsu.
Stop bothering me.
Didn't I clearly tell you
not to stuff your face?
-Now see?
-Ah...
Coach, a heads-up would've helped.
Too bad.
Well now you know.
Go change.
It's okay. Sometimes it happens.
-What's gone is gone.
-Good I didn't check my weight.
-I got no underwear.
-As if you ever wore any!
Boys! Let's not sit around here
and go check out the ring?
Okay.
-Alright, Coach.
-Come.
It's goin' down, yo check it listen,
Im bout to go the full distance
This competition imma crush

it's been my entire dream to be here
And show yall what I pack

I ain't stoppin till the crowd roars
Oh, wow!
So, this is the actual ring.
Imma step up each round, soar
This isnt what we saw before.
It's huge.
Only if it's big can they run
while I'm beating them up.
It's goin' down, yo check it listen,
We fly
Whoa...
Isn't this a square?
Who named it a ring?
Last time, this blue corner froze me.
This time I know better.
I'm gonna get it right this time.
No point in making big talks.
Deepak.
What do we need to do next?
At least now, we should practice.
Yes!
-Coach!
-Yes.
So...
-Let's begin?
-Yes.
Boys!
Let's head outside and do some pad work.
Let's go! Come on!
Imma be tellin you how I made it
to the top-most, illest spot
Puttin in future-win practice
I'm a beast when I'm in the box
If I knew this was a side boys job
I wouldnt have come. Damn!
Let's get the defence up.
Bob and weave.
Bob and weave.
Shadow box.
Back, back!
Switch!
Yeah, yeah.
Defence, keep going.
-Same, same!
-Jojo...
Same, same.
Long punches.
-Where are you off to? Same place as me?
-Yeah.
Did you see that girl with the green cap?
Saw the green one, saw the black one too.
Okay, black is all yours.
Greens my crush, mate.
Oh, fresh!
Haven't you had enough, man?
Is it a crime to love someone
sincerely now?
Im just loving them, not harming anyone.
You don't harm them,
but people sure call it something else.
Dont forget to drink water.
Ashraf bro, were from Alappuzha.
Were big fans of yours.
Salims not here?
Nah, Shamsu is.
-Is your weighing-in over?
-Yes.
Then go and practice well!
Lets do some pad work now.
Hey, hot girls...
especially you.
So, we are gonna nail it, right?
What?
I mean, we are gonna
win the championship, right?
Well win our part, no doubt.
You guys win it first, then talk.
Attitude...
Wheres all this arrogance coming from?
We won the District too,
thats how we got here.
Hello! We saw what you pulled off
in the District matches.
This isnt hopscotch, its boxing.
Aha! So, you know me, huh!
Shes seen my game.
They're all show, man.
That cap messing with your head?
Come, let's go.
Go, and at least learn
to throw a proper punch.
Shifas!
Alright then, lets see
who takes the cup for Alappuzha,
us or you!
Don't treat me like an idiot!
Your taunts made me feel this little.
Alright, little kid, off you go!
-SHIFAS!
-I was thinking of a solid punchline.
-See you!
-See you...
Whats up? You seem nervous?
Thats him, Akbar.
Hes the one who knocked me out last time.
Hey, DJ.
This guys solid.
He's got class.
This is gonna be one hell of a match.
-Whys fate always against me?
-Whats up, man?
He's Akbar.
Bro, who's Sanu?
That's Sanu over there.
Which ones Hari?
See the guy in the blue jersey?
Thats Hari.
Oh, man, youre done for!
Hes bigger than you, Cheruth!
Youre dead!
Oh, my champ, show me your baby face.
Did you see them?
-I didnt look.
-Come, Ill show you.
Hes fought and won for Kerala
at the South India-level.
Two-time State gold medal winner.
180 punches in 30 seconds.
110 push-ups in one minute.
We saw him during our weigh-in.
Dont be scared.
Youve got the height advantage.
But dont let him get too close.
If he does, youre done for.
Then boom, gun salute, funeral,
the whole package!
Ill handle all that.
Don't play cheerleader
and villain together.
These losers are good-for-nothings.
You should see Punjab, thats a real team!
Those girls dont quit, man!
Even if you hit the ground,
they'll keep fighting.
Thats real power.
Whos the guy with Coach?
This is our room.
Come, bro.

Angry! Angry!
Stay. Stay.

And where's Salim?
All of us officials made it,

Salim can't be bothered, huh!
You watch, Ill make sure Salim
never sets foot in this Federation again.
-How come you're back?
-Damn his Gymkhana!
Who the hell does he think he is?
Is he gonna bite us or something?
This is boxing, not rowdy school.
Didnt I tell you to come see me
when you got back home?
I was going to
Do you even know who Utham Singh is?
-Do you even know his career record?
-Whos this 'Yuddham' Singh now?
He cracks a joke with you
and you have the audacity
to jump in and fight him?
You think you can take on anyone?
Then go on, hit me.
Hit me!
And now he wants to be a coach.
Forget coaching!
First, go see a proper doctor.
Whats wrong with him?
Snapping like a rabid mutt!
Feels like Im about to snap!
Got it now?
Everyone gets angry.
Learn to manage it.
Joshua...

You came with these boys, right?
Get your share and get lost!
Come on.
Whats his problem with us?
Real boomer vibe!

-Let go of it.
One-Two.
Sir's in a foul mood today.
You will sort out your career soon.
I'm sure of it.
And listen, dont take this the wrong way
These guys are not good enough.

Well, it just makes it easier for our boys.
Okay then.

Our grand show-off went to waste!
At least we got noticed, thats enough.
No worries, lets go.
You totally embarrassed us!
If youre gonna pull off stunts,
at least practice first!
What the hell was that?
Well fix it for the next guy.
-You must, okay?
-Yes, now come.
-Hi, Ashraf bro, meet Shamsu.
-Greetings.
Greetings.
Christopher, be the champion!
I was caught up in a small meeting
with the federation.
-Why didnt Salim come?
-Whats the need?
The entire responsibility is on me.
Box.
Oh, no! My Chicago 23!
What the hell is he--
Sit down. You cant just get up
and walk around like that.
Come on! Come on! Hit him!
Come on! Come on!
He is out of this world!
-Look, our boy is killing it!
-Yes!
Knockout!
Damn, there goes our reputation.
-Christopher, are you okay?
-Are you okay?
-I don't think he is.
-Look, the puffs have come out.
Come on, lift him up.
-Ugh... will be right back.
-Hey, man, he collapsed!
[OVER PA] After an incredibly brave fight,
Alappuzhas Christopher has gone down!
Congratulations, John!
Attention volunteers, please clean up
the puke on stage as quickly as possible.
The next match will begin shortly.
Why the hell is he announcing all this?
Is he conscious?
-Yeah, he is.
-Just get him out of here. Fast.
[OVER PA] The next fight is about to begin.
Alappuzhas Gouri vs. Thrissurs Ardra!
Dear dear whats your name?
Dear...
-Hey, did he open his eyes?
-Yes!, dear, look at me.
Look here, here.
Mother, why isnt Dad talking to me?
Mother?! Thats a doctor, idiot!
Why wont he just listen to me for once?
I think hes missing a few marbles.
-Hey no!
-Hey!
No way! That's a trick!
Enough, get up!
Dad, why do you hate me so much?
What am I, a clearance sale baby?
Oh, no! Hes completely lost it.
Im just a kid.
Cant you at least love me a little?
Thats enough! GET UP!
Coach, is it my match now?
Wheres my opponent?
Im gonna knock him out!
You already fought, lost,
and puked all over the place!
Look at your shirt!
Yuck!
Ugh!
Better keep that face hidden for a while!
Your match is over, man.
Its fine.
The real champions rise from defeat.
-Legends are made like that, right, Coach?
-Loser!
Say another punchline,
and Ill literally punch your face in.
Lie down, lie down.
-Coach, Ill rock the next match!
-Your next match is next year.
Cant really blame him.
I went through the same trauma last year.
Carry that trauma around
and you can lie down
on the bed next to him!
Got it?
Mother Mary,
please make sure those girls lose.
Listen DJ, if she crashes this round,
were making an offering
at Arthunkal Church.
Whatever happens, were doing it.
-Come on, Gouri!
-Guard, Gouri!
Corner! Corner!
Oh, no!
We won, man!
We?!
[OVER PA] In the 52 kg category,
Thrissurs Ardra takes a stunning victory!
You did everything right, but your guard--
Hello. Need medical aid?
-Huh?
-Come on in.
Your friend is still there, right?
Let him get out first.
Oh, thats because he got a bit gastric.
Otherwise,
hed have knocked the other guy dead.
Oh!
Look, considering how things are going,
we need to join forces
to win the championship for Alappuzha.
That was pathetic!
Well take the championship.
But no joining forces with you!
Shifas, my dear,
we're gonna eat them alive.
I'll chew them up and spit them out!
They are really solid, man.
One-Two, Slip-Two, Hook-Two.
Solid in the sense?
Sadak...
Hes dangerous.
Come on.
What do I say about him?
Well, he knows everything.
MMA, Muay Thai, Wushu,
Judo, Kubdo, Kung Fu.
Come on!
But don't worry.
One-Two, One-Two, One-Two.
I've spotted his weak point.
I dont care what you've spotted.
We boxers already know it all.
-Youre a wrestler, arent you?
-Suit yourself.
-Listen, Shifas...
-Come on.
No matter what he's learned,
the moment you locked eyes,
I saw him flinch.
Dont just pump him up
and send him to his death.
He's not hyping me up for death.
He's saying all this
so I can walk out killing it.
That's the spirit.
I dont care who he is or where hes from!
Im going to knock him out.
[Alappuzha team singing welcome song]
Hey!
HEY!
Sing loudly, man!
Alappuzha gang moves as one
Rising high, the match is on!
-Alappuzha gang moves as one
-Come on, sing!
Rising high, the match is on!
Wrapped in silken glory...
Wrapped in silken glory,
here comes the brave
Come.
Bro...
Listen, maybe youll get hit in the ring.
Maybe youll fall.
But its not about falling,
its about getting back up.
Thats what makes a real champion.
-Aren't you a champion?
-YES!
Captain...
Coach....
Come here.
-What should I do in there?
-Dont get too carried away.
Its the ring, think before you act.
Use your head!
Alright, here you go.
Come on, Sadak. Come on.
Come on, Shifas! Come on!
Box!
Go for the face, man!
-Hit him! Right on the head!
-Punch him.
Stop! No using the ropes!
By tonight,
his fake bravado will get crushed!
Let the whole town see
his pro-boxing skills!
What? You going live or what?
Coach, how do these points work again?
Land at least one good punch,
then worry about points!
Whoa! Come on, my boy!
Stop.
Blue, back! Back!
Red.
Box!
Exactly! Go for straight punches!
Hey Champ, at least land one punch on him!
Stop!
Are you okay?
Hey Champion, get up, man.
[OVER PA] In the first round itself,
Alappuzhas Shifas Ahmed has been knocked out.
This is nothing new. Move aside.
Shifas Ahmed is being rushed to the medical room,
blacked out in a knockout!
One hit? Nah, forget it.
You couldn't even land a proper punch?
And amidst all this,
damn your Instagram live!
Do you even know
how many people watched that?
-My friends saw it too!
-What's up?
His bloody pro-boxing!
Shifas...
Shifas, where exactly did we go wrong?
What happened to you today?
Eh?
Jab... Cross... Ouch!
Aha!
Looks like the whole team is in here.
So, how many of your team
are still on their feet?
Why, Doctor?
Give me a number
and I'll book more hospital beds!
That's why I asked.
Good idea.
To be fair, its better than
just sitting there like clowns.
Might as well chill here.
Bloody ass--
Thats the right call, guys!
Thats exactly the best option
for all of you!
So, now that every Tom, Dick and Harry
has had a laugh at our expense.
Are you happy?
Only the doctor was left.
And that's done too.
Thats not what I meant, Coach.
No, Doctor, please sit down.
It's not about you.
All this big talk!
Why didnt you show it inside the ring?
Youre embarrassing me as well!
When I came here,
I only ever left with medals.
That too, gold medals! Two of them!
Coach, please.
No, it's not about you, Doctor.
I was a National-level player myself.
I trained all of you!
Have you even shown
a shadow of that training in the ring?
If you step in to fight,
at least put in the work for it.
Otherwise, dont even bother to try.
Coach, calm down.
They get the point.
The only thing were unsure of
is the championship.
So many of us are still standing.
-Were not leaving without a win!
-Exactly!
If you really mean that,
at least well get to play a proper game!
Clear?
Now, whos up next?
Me.
-Coach...
-Sit there, you! Sit!
[OVER PA] Alappuzhas Indu and
Kollams Aleena will enter the ring.
How about we go out and watch good fight?
Come, Coach.
-He left.
-No need to be so dramatic.
Is your kidney alright?
Lets be real, we messed up.
It's about the women!
We skipped training,
two guys went down and now this.
But all this
State champion, gold medal bragging...
Why bring that up here?
Right?
It was not for us, for sure!
-Eh?
-Hm?
Why did he get smashed by the other coach?
That's all that's left to know.
He's not who we thought he was!
-Hey, Jojo...
-What?
That Indu from the Alappuzha Girls' Team...
-Did she lose?
-Nope, she won.
Shucks!
Alright, but no need
to make a big deal out of it.
Since we're from the same district.
Well show sportsmanship,
congratulate and leave. Thats it.
One Slip, Hook, Two.
Whats up?
-We just came to congratulate her.
-Stretch
Make it quick, then.
Congrats.
One-Two!
One.
One-Two.
One Slip, Two!
One! One-Two.
Boxing isnt just about slipping punches.
Theres also the hook, the uppercut
and everything else.
Can you show us?
Why not?
Gimme.
You have to keep it tight, okay?
Ready.
Touch glove.
Ready? Double One, Right Hook.
Soft.
-Lets go.
-What's that?
Shall we leave?
Oh, is it time for his fight?
Sorry, I gotta prepare my next fighter.
So, I have to go.
Let practice continue. Alright, champ!
[Over PA] The next match will be

Come on. It's alright.

As if.
Congrats.
You're amazing! Just great!

Come.
Let's go!
Hey!
Let's watch her match.
Wonder how it's gonna be.
Shall we leave after that?
For what joy?
Fine, we'll watch it and leave.
Let us be seated!
Oh, sweet one
With a punch
You struck my heart
And left me stunned
Like a five-rupee Munch
Crunchy and sweet
You smiled
Oh, that smile!
When bees swarm in my eyes
When butterflies flutter in my stomach
The fight drums in my chest
At times, my heart shatters
Yet the fire stays alive
Like a sparkler that wont burn out
Sweetie, take it slow
Go on, take a chance
'Cause once you do
Well be locked in forever
With just a word or two
You pinned me down
Filled my eyes with playful mischief
And with wild speed
You ducked, you weaved
And left me reeling
Knocked me out, no coming back
Look how his sadness just vanished.
If he showed this mojo there,
he'd have won.
Listen...
Your slip is awesome.
And you're also awesome.
Float like a butterfly.
Sting like a bee.
Come on! Woop woop!
Oh, sweet one
With a punch
You struck my heart
And left me stunned
Like a five-rupee Munch
Crunchy and sweet
You smiled
Oh, that smile!
When bees swarm in my eyes
When butterflies flutter in my stomach
The fight drums in my chest
At times, my heart shatters
Yet the fire stays alive
Like a sparkler that wont burn out
Sweetie, take it slow
Go on, take a chance
Cause once you do
Well be locked in forever
Coach.
Why are you standing here?
-What's it?
-He's crying inside.
What's the problem, Deepak?
-He won't fight.
-He won't?
Just because he got punched ages ago.
How can one be so scared?
Coach, why don't you motivate him?
How much more can I motivate?
He's in a dark space.
-Is it?
-Yes.
Motivation didn't work.
Neither did yelling. Moreover, dark too.
Literally, in every sense.
There's a way.
If it works, it works. Come on.
That's a good thing, Kiran.
Coach will say all sorts of things.
We're the ones stepping into
the ring and taking punches.
Now you'll step in
and we'll just sit back
and watch you get punched.
What else... nothing else will happen.
-Right?
-Eh?
Yes, yes.
Hanging from bars is one thing,
boxings a whole other game.
You need skill.
That guy looks like
he was born to punch and smash.
He looks like the Terminator.
Bro, the real pain isnt from getting hit.
When we fail and leave the ring,
some people give you a look.
Thats unbearable.
Good thing I lost consciousness,
I didnt have to go through all that.
But I understand him.
He doesnt even have the guts
to love a girl properly.
If he had the guts to
step into the ring and throw a punch,
you think he'd still be a virgin?
Of course not!
-He's a virgin?
-Yeah!
Let it go, man.
We'll catch the next Alleppey Express.
Doubt this is gonna work out.
Forget it, man.
Don't think you can do it.
There's always a next time.
It's just that when you think
our fate is to fail like this...
You're okay, right? Let's pack up then.
I'll show you, you losers!
Is he about to burst?
Did it work?
-Yes, the virgin struck a chord.
-Worked?
Coach?
It looks okay.
-Right?
-Yes.
Now's the moment
I've been waiting for all my life
Don't jump in and lose right away.
Yo im ready to fight
Ready to fight
It's all coming back,
there ain't no place I can hide
Place I can hide
Come on.
One-Two-One.
-Come on.
-Win! Okay?
-Yes.
-Come.
-That's all!
-Come on!
Let me go loose,
ya boi is all boosted, ring the bell dude
Box.
That's never been how I viewed it
Told me my moves'll fail,
I'm thinkin stupid
Injected by your toxins,
ran on those fluids
Now look at where I am,
not someone you'd screw with
I blew it, was blue lipped,
my gas-flames that you lit
Consumed me, detuned me,
to the end I was too near
Come on, Akbar!
I barely knew me
I'd begun to loose sight of the true me
What was that, Coach?
-That was to show he was touched.
-For a point?
-Yes, for a point.
-Work the top.
Fight back!
Good one, good one!
Kiran! Move, move!
Kiran, check and move.
Move!
Akbar, attack!
Akbar, slip and hook!
Yes!
Stop getting hit and move!
No holding.
Stop.
Blue.
Red.
You got no plan. Make one and fight.
Stick to a plan and fight.
Move your head.
Move your head and play. Use the ring.
Move your head, use the ring.
Power punches only.
Feint and jab. Feint and jab
Okay? Come on!
Box.
Taped the mouth of the inner critic
Kicked the door down,
breakin outta my limit
Lettin whatchu said bout me go out
In these drillin-jabs,
no more self-doubt
I am the man, gold in these hands
I'm standing my ground,
ain't switchin my stance
Now I set the rhythm,
and to that you'll dance
I'm newer, im better,
ya boi is enhanced
Come on, Akbar.
Whoa!
Just swing and land it!
Punch! Punch!
Move away from the corner.
Stop.
Stop. Blue, move back.
-Guard.
-Kiran, watch him.
Just watch.
He's feinting before every power punch.
Catch the feint and strike!
Don't you wanna win?
What the hell are you doing?
If we lose to them,
I can't walk out of here with my head high.
Next round, knockout.
-Hear me?
-Cool, cool!
Box.
Imma pull back my fears
and jackhammer the opp
Throw em up, uppercut,

You said I can't do it
That's never been how I viewed it
Told me my moves'll fail,
i'm thinkin stupid
Kiran, aim at the face.
Kiran, hit him!
I blew it, was blue lipped,
my gas-flames that you lit
Consumed me, detuned me,
to the end I was too near
Hit a wall where even I barely knew me
I'd begun to loose sight of the true me
Go for him! Smash him!
Keep your guard up and keep punching!
You said I can't do it
That's never been how I viewed it
Break.
Stop. Red. Blue.
No holding.
Box.
Consumed me, detuned me,

Hit a wall where even I barely knew me

Stop.
Yes! Good round. Good round.
-That was great.
You played well.
Give that here.
-Yes, come on.
-Good play.
Among the participants...
The red corner.
Akbar from Kollam secured
a narrow victory in a fierce, neck-to-neck battle.
It's alright! Good game, Kiran!
Kiran from Alappuzha also delivered
an outstanding performance.
Congratulations to both!
Good job.
Bro, eat this too.
Tell me if you want anything else, okay?
Mmm.
So, tell me DJ.
What do we know so far?
Sameer.
-About him--
-Hey, hey!
-What?
-Skip the story. Get to the point.
So, the point is.
He's a southpaw.
-Okay, he's a southpaw. That's it, right?
-Yes.
Coach, Sameer is a southpaw.
Yes, he is.
Actually, what is this southpaw?
-I'm not quite sure...
-Is that so?
It's nothing really.
We're right hand orthodox.
He's a left-hand southpaw.
His left hand will be more powerful.
That's all.
It's not a big deal.
It is, Coach.
The last match with Kollam district,
we fought tooth and nail and lost.
Next is our little tusker's match.
We can't just let it slide.
We need to win it, am I right?
Yes, yes.
I'm fine. He's just a left-hander, right?
-I'll manage it.
-That's not it, Deepak.
Think about it, we shouldn't be
wandering around like orphans.
We have a house here
and a head of the house too!
We need to be one.
-Right, Cheruth?
-Yes, yes.
-Shifas bro.
-The Alappuzha team is back together.
When did Alappuzha team even split?
No... not like that.
From now on, we'll be here for everything.
That's a good thing.
But...
It'd be good if we could get
a few blessings.
-Okay. Wish you all the best.
-Thank you.
Alright. Keep your defence up, okay?
You're up against Sameer from Kochi, right?
Yes.
Make sure you don't take his left punch.
-Why do you say so?
-Take the hit and you'll know.
Come on. Let's stretch.
-This year's Kerala Amateur Boxing...
-There they are.
-...Championship is in its final stages...
-Come here.
-...with Kollam leading with 98 points.
-Come on, man.
Ernakulam district follows in
second place with 92 points.
Bro, isn't your last match with Deepak?
Anyway, you guys are toast.
Just leave it at that.
Why give Sameer's hands extra work?
Tell Deepak to ask for a walkover
and head home and chill.
Exactly.
Oh, dear...
Bro, you should've said this
five minutes ago.
-We literally just decided.
-Oh, no...
Anyway, we all got whipped and roasted.
The committees decided to return
every punch we got.
So, what now? You guys said it.
We even bothered to listen.
Didnt scare us one bit also.
-What to do now?
-Hey... it wasn't for you but for Deepak.
You just go and tell Deepak. Got it?
Well, this is for you.
Deepak will fight for
Alappuzha Boxing Federation.
Didn't we tell you nicely? Just do it, man.
Bro, this is boxing.
You don't punch with your mouth, right?
Come to the ring. We'll see you there.
-Okay?
-Alright...
Shall see you then. Bye.
-Alright.
-Bye, specs dude!
Where'd you get all that guts from?
Two punches to your face
and you'll get it automatically.
Hmm... okay.
If someone tries to mess with you,
shouldnt you be telling me first?
I'll deal with them.
Im your coach, arent I?
So, what was he supposed to do?
They came, threw some dialogues at him,
and he gave them a solid reply.
Now why are you making
such a big issue out of it?
-Hey, any problem?
-No, nothing.
Some morons from Kochi threatened him,
either you should take a walkover,
or they'll beat us up.
And he accepted their challenge.
Now, whats the issue with that?
-Same guys from this afternoon?
-Yeah, they were there too.
Did they threaten to hit you?
I told them, well see.
Don't bother,
this match is our only hope.
You have to win
Coach, the announcement's up.
Shall we go?
Okay, let's go.
No. No need for all that.
Let's go.
Come.
Sameer, go all in on the attack.
Land those power punches, yeah?
Come on!
-Deepak, easy! Easy!
-Box.
Yes. Yes.
Smash him, mate!
I can dream for us all
Red.
What's that?
Box!
Nothing is impossible
What is this irreversible?
Tell you to man up
Until then don't show up
What is this unresolvable?
Superb!
Sameer, move!
Punch! Punch!
Wait.
Red, head up!
Yes, punch him! Punch him!
Whoa! Yes! Yes!
Don't hesitate! You're doing great!
Just punch! That's all!
When he shifts away from your power side,
switch and land a power punch!
Come on!
Come on!
Box!
-Whoa!
-YAY!
Yeah! You smashed it, man!
Red.
Easy, easy...
Come on.
Uff!
Woohoo!
Stop.
Come.
Nothing to worry, hes tired.
In the next round--
Better take the walkover
and leave immediately!
Or will chop you all to pieces.
HEY! HEY!
-Did anyone hear him?
-Scram!
-Isn't he the other guy?
-Yeah.
-You are not allowed here.
-Just ignore him.
These charades are bound to happen.
Ill handle it.
You just go in and hit.
We have to win.
Come on!
Box!
What happened?
What the hell is he doing, Coach?
Stop!
Whoa!
Red!
Awesome!
-What the hell...
-Stop it, you.
-Stop it, I said.
-Hey Deepak, you better!
Heck! We lost it.
HEY!
What?
What happened, Coach?
Coach... Hey!
Red abandoned.
Blue is the winner.
[OVER PA] Whoa, whoa! Unexpected!
-Hey, come.
-What just happened?
Deepak has given a walkover to
Ernakulams Sameer and withdrawn.
What the hell did you do?
You were gonna win that match!
With this, Ernakulam
has overtaken Kollam district
to claim the top spot
in the current points table.
We've been standing here,
humiliated, for far too long.
I'm heading off. Jojo, you coming?
Hey...
Did you get through to the coach?
Hes not picking up.
After getting ditched like that,
anyone would feel bad.
He must be around somewhere.
Either way, Im leaving.
Shall we go, then?
Scaring people for no reason!
Where did you even get this from?
Just get rid of it.
Wow, now that its all over,
you wanna get rid of it, huh?
Shall we go back home, Deepak?
Yes, let's go.
Hello...
Hello. Are you heading back?
See you in Alappuzha.
See you.
-See you.
-See you.
We are off.
Hey.
I have something to tell you.
But not now. Later.
Dont bother telling me at all, Jojo.
Come on, please.
Well, what kind of boyfriend
do you wish for?
Huh?
Should I answer?
Please.
Someone like your friend, Deepak.
Ah.... ah... of course!
He is a nice chap.
Okay then, bro.
See you.
Alright.
-Okay, see you.
-See you.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Ah!
-Sherin...
-Jojo, how did it go? Did you win?
-No. We lost it.
-Oh, no.
The punch landed and by the
fifth second, I almost blacked out.
-So, you can imagine the others.
-Even Valuth?
Someone absolutely wrecked Valuths face.
Hes been out cold ever since.
And what about Cheruth?
Cheruth? Cheruth...
Oh, no! I forgot about Cheruth!
I'll call you right back.
DJ...
How can we all just leave like this?
Not all of us lost, right?
Look at him, Cheruth.
-Oh...
-He won, didnt he?
Jojo, havent you had enough?
What exactly are you planning?
Deepak, shouldnt we
at least land one final blow?
If we just walk away now,
well look like cowards
who backed out after a beating.
Do we really want
that kind of reputation?
Are we really gonna go back
and get embarrassed again?
Cheruth...
For the pride of Alappuzha
that has lost all the matches
For your Zakariya Bazaar
For our Gymkhana
Even if its a fight to the death
in the ring, youd fight, right?
Shouldn't we make him fight?
-Well punch them!
-We'll fight them!
-What about Coach?
-Coach?
Well find him later.
Right now, were heading back. Lets go!
Come, come, come!
Come on, everyone!
Come.
[Cheering for Team Alappuzha]
Alappuzha gang moves as one
Alappuzha gang moves as one
Rising high, the match is on!
Alappuzha gang moves as one
Rising high, the match is on!
Wrapped in silken glory
Wrapped in silken glory,
here comes the brave
Go.
Ill go find our coach and be right back.
Superb! Come on, man.
I can understand you, Coach.
We were winning, werent we?
Deepak bailed halfway through out of fear.
Of course, anyone would be pissed.
I was furious too.
But can I tell you what I realised?
Every problem has a reason behind it.
If you think about it,
wasnt it those guys scaring Deepak
that made him scared?
So shouldnt our anger be towards them?
Not Deepak, right?
Right?
Coach, you really wanna
smash his face in, don't you?
But in situations like this,
we have to learn to control--
You've to control yourself, Coach!
COACH!
Hey, you!
COACH!
What the...?
RUN!
How's it going?
Didn't miss a single punch.
He's toast!
Hey, come here.
Staying here any longer
won't be good for us.
-What's wrong?
-Get up and come.
-But why?
-Rope!
Stop.
Champion! Champion! Champion!
Come quick, man!
Where the hell are you rushing to?
This ways safer. Just come.
They will definitely be waiting for us
at the main gate.
Well get wrecked.
So this is the safer option.
Come.
Hey, kids.
Didn't you say
this route is safe and empty?
Well, that...
I'm tired, man.
Im just gonna sit here.
Hey, Cheruth...
What's the plan now?
Should we talk to them?
Oh, fantastic idea!
You go fricking talk to them.
Ive been holding back long enough.
I cant control myself anymore!
YOU!
Bro!
-DJ!.
-Enough, you. Come, sit here.
Beat the hell out of them, Jojo.
Are you okay?
-Good job.
-Thanks.
-Hey, no!
-HEY!
Hey, DJ! Let go of them.
Come back.
-Stop there.
-Coach, look at them!
Hey, guys, enough.
Come back, all of you.
STOP!
DJ, run! The whole of Kochi
is chasing us!
We need to get out of here!
Coach, the whole of Kochi is there.
Things have gone out of control.
What?!
This is more than we could manage.
Hey, run, man! Quick!
Run! There is a truckload of them.
Hey, wait. Let me go and talk to them.
Wait there.
Don't run.
YOU!
-Coach!
-Come, stay together.
Get them, DJ!
We can jump over this and get out. Come on!
Come!
Enough! Jump and get out of here.
Come on!
Catch this!
-Come on, quick, man.
-Enough!
Come on, Coach!
Dont get yourself knocked out!
Hurry up, Coach!
Come quick!
Jump over the wall, Coach!
-Come!
-HEY!
Coach!
Oh, damn!
Run! Run!
-Run fast!
-Police! Police!
Jojo, you'll end up in prison!
Run, man! RUN!
Run!
Deepak...
I have something to tell you.
-Now?!
-You know Natasha, right?
Yeah.
Apparently, she is in love with you.
Why did you stop?
And you are telling me now?!
I was too busy taking a
beating to share the news.
Come! We're gonna be toast!
Well go get her when were back home.
Now, RUN!
Run faster!
The days and nights will come and go
Coach slow down a bit.
The night will fade, the sun will glow
Refuge...
Should we stop that ambulance?
Yes, do it.
Please...
-Brother, are you going to Alappuzha?
-Yes.
We came here for a boxing competition.
We dont have enough money to get back.
Can you please drop us off in Alappuzha?
Get in.
Come, everyone.
Thank you, brother.
Come.
Shall we go?
Touched the sky like the wind
Like the wind
Like a song
Hey...
I'm sorry.
Sorry to all of you.
I gave a walkover because
I didnt want any of you
to get into trouble because of me.
But looking at everything thats happened,
maybe I shouldve just fought and won.
Sorry.
Why are you saying sorry?
Wasnt it my fault?
I overreacted to something unnecessary
and messed up everything.
That Roy sir was right.
I should never step into the ring again.
Im quitting.
Im done with this damn boxing.
Dont think like that, Coach.
Anyone wouldve done the same
in that situation.
Am I just "anyone"?
Were boxers, arent we?
Did we learn boxing
just to pull off ugly street fights?
Did we?!
No.
Im not saying this to you,
Im asking myself.
This has always been my problem.
When our coach grabbed
one of the girls we train with by the butt,
it wasnt really my place to hit him.
I couldve just stayed quiet
and protected my career.
But I didn't!
Bloody son of a...
Why are you acting like a kid?
Werent you the one who won gold twice?
When they are attacking us,
shouldnt we at least
have the guts to stand our ground?
Whatever happens,
Ive decided to learn boxing.
Me too, Coach.
I want to learn boxing as well.
Im finally getting the vibe.
Then next year,
were all going for the championship!
-Of course!
-And win the cup.
And you'll coach us, Coach!
Hey, Cheruth? Are you dead?
I'm not dead yet, Deepak!
But Ill be with you all till I die!
Hey...
Are you okay?
What happened?
Im out, Deepak.
Boxing isnt for me.
I just want to somehow
rewrite those failed papers.
Anyway, well get grace marks now, right?
I need to somehow
secure admission in some college.
But thats not even
my biggest stress right now.
I have no idea how Im going to face Mummy!
She's gonna be dark!
Mummy...
Mummy...
Oh he's here!
Why's with the ambulance?
-Where's Jojo?
-Jojo...
Dont worry, Mummy, Im totally fine!
Then whats all this, huh?
Just to scare me!
This is the only vehicle
that gave us a lift.
Mummy, we all lost.
This is my loser team.
Oh! You're impossible, Jojo!
Is there anything to eat? We're starving.
Here, eggs.
Are you the one training them?
Yes.
My dear, when he left home, I warned him,
dont get beaten up!
But he never listens.
What's he gonna do now?
We tried teaching him drawing.
And then violin too.
No use! He never completes anything!
To sum it up, hes useless at studies
and useless at sports too.
Hey, pass the egg.
So whats your future plan, Your Highness?
Have your food.
Oh, Mother Mary!
Mummy...
Dont turn into
one of those toxic parents, okay?
Our Jojo isnt useless.
We lost this time, that's true.
But that doesnt mean
we wont be champions next time.
We fought hard, Mummy.
A little motivation wouldnt hurt.
Mummy, do you know?
We were a broken, messed-up team,
let down by everyone.
But it was your son who stood by us,
motivated us and brought us till here.
Mummy, no one has to be perfect
at everything.
In his own way, hes brilliant.
Please give him some time, Mummy.
-Dont pressure him.
-Hell figure it out.
And one more thing, Mummy.
Jojo might not be the king.
We are the kings.
But our Jojo is the kingmaker.
Shifas... man!
Ive waited my whole life
for a moment like this, boys!
Mummy...
You wanted to know my future plan, right?
Okay, hear me out.
Next year, were entering the State
competition for Alappuzha district.
And were bringing home the trophy!
And I'm their team manager, Jojo Johnson.
Dont take this as my confidence.
Take it as a challenge.
Gymkhana boys!
YES!
Let's begin!
Oh, sweet one
With a punch
You struck my heart
And left me stunned
Like a five-rupee Munch
Crunchy and sweet
You smiled
Oh, that smile!
When bees swarm in my eyes
When butterflies flutter in my stomach
The fight drums in my chest
At times, my heart shatters
Yet the fire stays alive
Like a sparkler that wont burn out
Sweetie, take it slow
Go on, take a chance
'Cause once you do
Well be locked in forever
With just a word or two,
you pinned me down
Filled my eyes with playful mischief
And with wild speed
You ducked, you weaved
And left me reeling
Knocked me out, no coming back
Oh, sweet one
With a punch
You struck my heart
And left me stunned
Like a five-rupee Munch
Crunchy and sweet
You smiled
Oh, that smile!
When bees swarm in my eyes
When butterflies flutter in my stomach
The fight drums in my chest
At times, my heart shatters
Yet the fire stays alive
Like a sparkler that wont burn out
Sweetie, take it slow
Go on, take a chance
'Cause once you do
Well be locked in forever
