Soorma (2018)

In the heart of Shahbad, Haryana, two childhood companions, Sandeep and Bikram, find themselves punished by their demanding hockey coach. Sandeep, disheartened, turns his back on the sport, letting Bikram rise to national prominence. The world of hockey, however, beckons Sandeep back, spurred by his burgeoning love for Harpreet, a fellow hockey player whose passion for the sport is infectious. Their romance incurs the wrath of Harpreet's uncle, their stern coach, who subjects Sandeep to relentless abuse. Yet, Sandeep's undeniable potential as a flicker, notably recognized by Bikram, draws him into the Indian national hockey team. He rapidly ascends the ranks, earning the moniker 'Flicker Singh' for his unparalleled skills, ultimately becoming a penalty corner specialist. But his soaring career is brutally interrupted when an accidental gunshot on a train bound to the World Cup in Germany pierces his spine, leaving him paralyzed and with a slim chance of ever walking again. "Soorma" is the stirring true story of Sandeep Singh, a man whose life teetered on the edge of despair, yet refused to capitulate. Fueled by sheer determination, relentless hard work, and an unwavering passion for hockey, Sandeep embarks on a grueling journey of recovery. Against all odds, he not only regains his ability to walk but also reclaims his place on the national team, eventually captaining it in January 2009. This tale of human resilience and triumph serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that lies within the heart of every dreamer.
