Plot

Mahendra, a once-promising cricketer, and Mahima, a dedicated doctor, unite through an arranged marriage. Sharing the same nickname, Mahi, they embark on a journey as husband and wife.
Their seemingly different worlds collide when they discover a mutual love and passion for cricket.

Despite his setbacks in the sport, Mahendra recognizes a spark of talent in Mahima. Encouraged by his unwavering support, Mahima dares to dream beyond her stethoscope and white coat. She sets her sights on the cricket field, determined to become a cricketer.

As Mahendra coaches her, their bond deepens, and the cricket pitch becomes their shared canvas.

This is Rajkummar and Janhvi’s second film together post ‘Roohi’. It’s produced by Karan Johar and by Sharam Sharma, who had previously directed Janhvi in ‘Gunjan Saxena’.

The trailer itself garnered rave reviews, and if the film lived up to expectations, it could garner footfalls in the theaters through positive word of mouth.
