Sons Of The Soil (2020)

In the vibrant heart of India, the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) emerged as a thrilling twist on the indigenous sport of Kabaddi, capturing the attention of millions and rapidly ascending the country's sports scene. At the forefront of this revolution were the Jaipur Pink Panthers, the league's first champions, owned by Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan. However, the Panthers' promising start belied their struggles in subsequent seasons, their initial triumph fading into the background as they failed to reclaim their champion status. "Sons of the Soil" is a riveting sports documentary that charts the Panthers' journey from their zenith to ground zero, and their relentless pursuit to regain their lost glory. This intimately candid series delves into the behind-the-scenes reality of the team, offering a glimpse into the rigorous regimen, meticulous preparation, and indefatigable training under the watchful eyes of their coach and captain. In a bold move, Bachchan bets on a youthful, talented, yet untested group of players in his quest to seize the champion's trophy of India's Pro Kabaddi League 2018-19. Season 7 becomes a crucible for these aspiring athletes as they grapple with the immense pressure of restoring the Panthers to their former glory. Simultaneously, the series unravels the larger tapestry of Kabaddi, tracing its humble roots and the explosive growth ignited by the inception of the PKL. As the popularity of Kabaddi surges across India, bringing with it a promise of fame and fortune, "Sons of the Soil" not only celebrates the unyielding spirit of the Panthers but also the rich heritage and passion that fuels this beloved sport.
