Story
The story revolves around a boxing club in Haryana and its passionate coach Raghubir Singh (Suvinder Vicky), whose dream is to win an Olympic gold medal for India. For him, it is not just a goal but a mission to complete an unfinished legacy. His grandfather had won the country's first Olympic boxing gold, but Raghubir himself could not achieve that milestone as a player. Now, he wants to fulfill that dream as a coach.
To achieve this, he trained both his sons, Devinder (Divyenndu) and Ravinder (Pulkit Samrat), from childhood, but circumstances drove them away from him. Both sons are dealing with their own past wounds and struggles. Raghubir then places his hopes on a new boxer, Nihal Singh, determined to take him to the Olympics.
However, tragedy strikes when Nihal, who is in love with Raghubir's daughter Gudiya (Jannat Zubair), is brutally murdered. Gudiya, badly injured in the attack, also dies in the hospital. Suspicion falls on Raghubir's enemies Vijju Sangwan (Ashutosh Rana), khap leader Danda (Yashpal Sharma), and mafia figure Kukki Yadav (Sikandar Kher). Who is the real mastermind behind the murders? Will Raghubir's Olympic dream survive? The answers unfold in the series.
