The movie began at a prestigious pool championship
held at the Calcutta gymnasium in 1994, at that time, there was a semi-final match
between Burman and Toolsidas, Toolsidas himself is one of the most talented billiard
players who got many fans and in every match, he is always accompanied by his small family
who never tired to support him. Furthermore, Toolsidas’ second child named Midi is very
enthusiastic when he sees his father competing. Before starting his match, he had a habit of
flipping his glasses first just to comfort his son. But despite his ridiculousness, Toolsidas
got such an extraordinary ability that he is able to defeat Burman casually, and after winning
the match while holding his son confidently, Toolsidas told the son that the next day he got
his victory, Midi would bring the trophy for him. Then before Toolsidas and his family returned
home, he was invited by his partner to go to a bar to celebrate his victory which was opposed
by his wife, considering they had to go to the wedding invitation immediately. But because
Toolsidas himself is a person who likes to consume alcohol, he immediately promised his
wife that he would go home soon. Therefore, Toolsidas asked his wife to wait for him at
home wearing a red sari to look more beautiful. Shortly thereafter, when Toolsidas' wife
was waiting for her husband's return, her first child named Goti, insisted on asking
her mother for money to use to go to the night market with Midi, but because his mother did not
give her the amount of money he wanted, Goti also used Midi so that they could get more money by
asking her mother for money for various reasons. Then after successfully getting the money, the
two of them immediately went to the night market to try a balloon shooting game and if they managed
to hit the balloon three times then they had the opportunity to get a very attractive prize. But
when Goti had succeeded in shooting two balloons, the man immediately acted fraudulently so that
Goti failed the third attempt. But it turned out that Midi had realized his cheating, that is why
when he was given the opportunity to play he also pointed his gun at the man which ultimately made
everyone there angry because they felt cheated. When they arrived home, his mother even looked
gloomy because until late night, Toolsidas did not return home. Soon they got a call from
someone informing them that Toolsidas could not return home due to drinking too much. After
hearing this, his wife ordered Goti to immediately pick up his father, but because Goti refused, Midi
finally went to pick up his father. Then when they arrived at the house, Toolsidas' wife immediately
expressed all her disappointment, but because Toolsidas was already drunk, he didn't really
pay attention to his wife's words and instead immediately left her to sleep. The next day,
Toolsidas felt so guilty, he tried to persuade his wife by complimenting the tea she served. It
seems succeeded in making his wife smile again. Long story short before the final match started,
the players and the committee first had a photo session in the courtyard of the Calcutta sports
hall and at that time Goti confirmed to Midi that their father would not win against Jimmy
Tendon in the final match because Jimmy was the defending champion who would never be defeated so
his name was always recorded on the championship board every year. But this statement was
immediately denied by Midi, considering that his father had promised that he would be
the one who would get the trophy this year. However, during the break time, Jimmy took
advantage of Toolsidas' weakness by inviting him to drink alcohol together. This made
Midi feel very anxious then he immediately returned to his mother with a look full
of sadness. Soon the match continued and because Toolsidas consumed too much alcohol, he
was no longer able to play as usual, which made him have to suffer a very embarrassing defeat.
Toolsidas immediately broke his billiard stick to vent all his emotions. Meanwhile, with the
victory Jimmy just won, now he is getting bigger and bigger with his record, which is becoming
champion for 6 consecutive years starting from 1989 to 1994. It seemed that Midi couldn’t
accept the defeat of Toolsidas considering that his father had been defeated in a
fraudulent way, that's why Midi felt so sad that he could no longer hold back his tears,
but from that, Midi already had the determination to take part in the game of billiards.
But unfortunately because of his young age, he was not allowed to play billiard in the
Calcutta Sports Hall. Soon, an amateur billiard player named Tutu came, a unique and funny
man so no one was willing to play with him. When he invited Midi to accompany him to play,
Midi also felt very happy considering that it was a great opportunity for him but unfortunately
before Midi could hit the ball, Jimmy had already come to stop him with the excuse that he
didn't want a child to ruin his pool table. Despite his ridiculous behavior, Tutu turns
out to be the committee member in charge there so he could easily grant Midi a playing license
according to the time he had set. But when Midi had managed to get his license, Goti even forbade
him to play billiards because Goti believes that Midi has talent in other sports that's why Goti
wanted his brother to become an athlete in a sport that could make a lot of money later, while
he would support him by becoming his manager. But after enrolling his younger brother in
various sports such as cricket and tennis, it turned out that none of them were able to
be mastered by Midi until finally there was a number one equestrian coach in India who
was willing to train him, it made Goti feel very happy because he was sure that soon they
would have a lot of money. But the next day, when Goti picked him up to started the training,
Midi deliberately avoided by allocating to help his teacher carry books into his car, even Midi
also asked the teacher for help to deliver him to the Calcutta sports hall because that day
Midi had been scheduled to play with Tutu there. Midi immediately came to Goti to tell him
that he would be able to make Goti rich by playing billiards because in that match
there would be many people who would bet, that's why Midi begged Goti to register him to
become a member of one of the Pap billiard so that he could practice the game. Upon arriving home,
Goti immediately explained to Midi that there were 2 billiard paps available in two different
locations, namely in Wellington and Chowringhee. After making a decision, the next day
they immediately went to Chowringhee to register for Midi, but because they did not
get good treatment, they finally decided to go to Wellington even though they had never been
there. It turned out that Wellington was a slum inhabited by middle-class residents, that's
why the billiard pool there is very different from the billiard pool they often visit.
When they went inside, Goti immediately looked for information on how much it would cost
him if he wanted to register his brother there, but the most important thing for Goti was how
much prize he would get if he won during the match. Then after knowing that they would only
get one egg and bread, Goti asked his brother to leave there immediately. But because Midi kept
insisting, the next day when Goti returned to pick up Midi at his school, he also brought a surprise
in the form of a registration form so that Midi could become a member there, even Goti also gave
some money so that Midi could go there alone. Then, it was at this moment when Midi explained
to Goti that their father's billiard stick had been repaired. Therefore, he would need money
for repairs and after taking his father's billiard stick, Midi went to Wellington alone.
However, upon arrival he was not allowed to play because only the seniors were allowed to
play. Therefore, he was advised to come back tomorrow morning when the condition was quiet.
But the next day when Midi was there, again, he was not allowed to play because the place had
already been booked by someone else, namely a man who always sleeps with a cloth covering his face.
The man was not an ordinary man because based on the workers there, it turned out that he was a
former Indian national champion named Muhammad Salam. Then, along with the explanation that
already said, finally Muhammad Salam woke up with a very sharp gaze, looked at the billiard table,
and before he played, Muhammad Salam had the habit of enjoying a betel first which he kept in a box.
Then, at the same time the man on duty there explained again to Midi that Muhammad Salam would
always play for 1 hour then go back to sleep for 1 hour. In fact, during the time he was there,
no one dared to fight him. Long story short, after seeing Muhammad Salam's greatness in
playing billiards, Midi felt so amazed that he was even more excited to come to the training
ground but it seemed Muhammad Salah was not a friendly person where he could just slap
others when he felt disturbed while playing. But even so, Midi still admires him. That's
because in order for him to understand how to play billiard correctly, he chose to follow all
of Muhammad Salam's movements but unfortunately he still couldn't practice the basic tricks that
Muhammad Salam did until soon Muhammad Salam came to him to improve Midi's hand position
when he wanted to hit the ball. It proved effective because Midi could immediately
practice the basic technique very well. Meanwhile, because Goti assumed that his brother
already had the ability, without thinking, he immediately registered Midi to participate in the
match in the hope that he would get benefits. But unfortunately his expectations were too high so
when Midi suffered defeat, Goti felt very angry. In fact, he even confirmed that he would never
again spend money on Midi’s training. Then from then on, the relationship between them began to be
bad and because the savings he got were still not enough for training, he had asked his mother for
extra money but unfortunately Midi did not get it even the rest of his savings was forcibly taken by
Goti as compensation for the money Goti had spent. It made Midi feel so desperate that he could only
sit on the side of the road mourning his fate. Then there was one of Midi's neighbors who
asked for his help to carry his luggage. And after hearing that, the man was
willing to give him money for that. Midi immediately helped him, remembering that
it was his great opportunity to earn money. But what he did was known directly by
Toolsidas so he was immediately interrogated by his mother. But because his mother didn't
want Midi to do the job anymore, finally his mother was willing to give the money he wanted.
Long story short, at the training ground Midi began to dare to come to Muhammad Salam to ask
what was the reason he always slept before playing billiards. Hearing this, Muhammad Salam did not
immediately give an answer and instead asked Midi to try it so that he could know the answer
himself. Then without thinking, Midi immediately practiced using a piece of cloth that he had
prepared in his pocket and an hour had passed. When Midi woke up again, he immediately tried
to play billiard which turned out he was able to enter some balls well enough and it made
him feel very surprised. After the incident, Midi always followed Muhammad Salam so that he was
willing to be his coach, but this actually made Muhammad Salam feel very annoyed because he could
not concentrate on playing. But after hearing that Midi's reason for wanting to play pool was to
defeat Jimmy's cheating, Muhammad Salam began to change his mind, so he immediately asked Midi
to come back tomorrow to start his first training. Hearing this, a smile of happiness began to
shine on Midi's face because now he has the opportunity to become a professional player.
Then the next day when Midi said that his game improved after falling asleep, Muhammad Salah
finally explained that when they were in a dark room and then moved to a place which is full of
light then their vision would be much sharper, which is why he always covered his face with
a piece of cloth when he was asleep. In his first training, Midi was able to attract
the attention of everyone who was there because it was also the first time Muhammad
Salam was willing to train others in detail. But when he arrived home, Midi was surprised
by the words of his mother who had planned to vacation out of town for 3 weeks and after knowing
that it was Goti's idea, Midi immediately came to him to ask what was Goti's reason for doing that.
But it seemed that Goti didn't really care about Midi's words because his gaze was on a beautiful
woman who was there. Midi felt very annoyed which resulted in him not being able to focus on
practicing, until the next day when Midi was undergoing exams at his school, he deliberately
crossed out all the answer sheets he had filled out in order to get bad grades because then Midi
had an excuse not to go on vacation with his family because he had to take extra lessons.
Meanwhile, in order not to cancel his family vacation, Midi told his mother that Goti would
leave to replace him. Then when Midi wanted to deliver a letter to the Calcutta gymnasium,
one of the officers who was there explained that in recent days Goti had always come to swim
throughout the day and after hearing about it, Midi decided to go inside to prove it. Then when
he saw Goti was swimming together with a woman, Midi immediately took a photo of them together
so that Goti would obey all his requests. So, finally Goti was forced to go on vacation
with his family, while Midi had the opportunity to continue to focus on training during the school
holidays. In his training sessions, Muhammad Salah told that in playing billiard there was no such
thing as luck. Therefore, Midi only needed to play well, so Muhammad Salam trained him again by using
a different trick where he had to enter the ball in the corner using his left hand because every
hand owned by humans always got many benefits. Then after successfully doing so, Midi decided to
immediately return to his home considering that that day his parents would soon return home. But
on the way back home, Midi accidentally dropped his father's billiard stick, making the billiard
stick break due to being run over by a passing train and the incident made Midi feel very sad.
However, he chose not to tell his family, while at the same time Goti came to him to thank
him because by going on vacation he could get more money that he got from winning horse racing bets,
that's why when Midi explained about his broken stick. Goti promised to give him a new one with
the money he had. The next day, when Midi saw that his father's match form had been sent home,
he immediately came to the Calcutta gymnasium to collect the form because he had intended to
participate in this year's championship. However, the guard on duty there forbade him again because
of Midi’s age, so Tutu tried to help him by taking Midi directly with the Chief organizer who
is often referred to as Mr. President but it seemed to be useless because Midi was still
not allowed to participate for similar reasons. Then shortly after Midi arrived home,
his mother got a call from someone that was informing her that Toolsidas was now
consuming a lot of alcohol and hearing this, Midi immediately went to pick up his father as
he often does, while at the same time when Tutu told that Midi had intended to register for
the game that year in a semi-conscious state, Toolsidas immediately came to Mr. President so
that his son was given the opportunity to play. Because although Midi would lose his first
match, at least he would make him happy. However, Toolsidas' statement even made Jimmy
laugh, making Toolsidas feel very angry. That's why before he returned home, Toolsidas chose
to challenge someone to a battle in a game of billiards just to vent his emotions. But in the
middle of the game Toolsidas decided to leave and give up his money casually. Then after hearing
what his father did, Goti who felt angry without thinking immediately went there to finish the
match where Midi would replace his father to play. When he saw Midi's playing ability, Mr. President
finally decided to allow him to participate in the billiard championship that year. In fact, he
himself signed his registration form where in the championship Midi named himself as Toolsidas
Jr. While as a form of support for his younger brother, a few days before the championship
started, Goti had given a gift to Midi and he also promised to come to Wellington to repair
his father's broken stick because Goti just realized that what had been done all this time
was just to maintain their father's good name. However, because Midi always went out of the house
every day, his mother began to feel suspicious so she chose to follow Midi secretly until finally
when she arrived at Billiard's place she asked Midi to leave immediately because she assumed that
the environment was not a good environment for young children. However, shortly before they
left, Muhammad Salam explained to his mother that for the past 11 months, Midi had always
come to train. So while covering his hands, Muhammad Salah begged him to allow Midi to
achieve his dream and the words seemed to melt his mother's heart so he finally allowed Midi to
continue training there without having to worry. Meanwhile, before doing his training, Midi had
asked Muhammad Salam if he would be willing to come to see him compete tomorrow, considering
that it was Muhammad Salam who contributed most in the playing billiard’s training. But
unfortunately Muhammad Salam refused. Because he would only come if Midi made it to the final.
Long story short, the billiard championship finally began where in the opening match Midi
was directly faced against a player named Sunny Kochhar and thanks to the training he had been
undergoing, Midi was able to win his first match. In fact, he also managed to win in the
next matches. Because in the third match, Midi met with Tutu whose ability was very
different, but Midi's victory actually made Tutu feel so proud that he told everyone that
he was the one who had trained Midi. However, after defeating Tutu, Midi had to meet
a fairly difficult opponent where he had to face, he is Burman whose ability was
extraordinary. However, on the day of the match, Burman arrived there past the time limit set
by the committee, allowing Midi to win the match without having to fight him. In fact, he and
Goti had a chance to mock Burman before he left.
