Chennai 600028

Two local cricket leagues dominate the neighborhood—Royapuram Rockers and the Sharks—and they regard each other as sworn rivals, trading blows on the field year after year. The story centers on the Sharks and their pursuit of glory, but it follows the path of one key member: the steadfast player Raghu, a college student who finds himself uprooted when his family moves from Royapuram to Visalakshi Thottam in Chennai 600028. Raghu loves the game and his Rockers teammates, yet the move thrusts him into a different world where the old grudge against his new surroundings feels personal. He tries to stay connected to cricket, but distance and new dynamics tempt him to drift away from the very team he bleeds for.

In this shifting landscape, a spark flickers when Raghu learns that the girl Selvi, Pazhani’s sister, is in love with Karthik. That small revelation becomes the hinge on which alliances tilt and new friendships form. Raghu begins to bridge two worlds, forging unlikely bonds with several Sharks players and gradually letting himself be drawn into their circle. He starts practicing with the Sharks in preparation for the Radio Mirchi trophy, hoping to prove his loyalty and skill despite the deep-seated rivalry that divides their communities. The romance and the tension behind the scenes add a human layer to the competition, showing how devotion to family, friends, and love can cross the most entrenched rivalries.

As the team dynamics shift, a rift develops between Pazhani and Karthik, threatening the fragile balance the Sharks are building. The group splits for a time, but reconciliation comes when Karthik offers an apology, and the bonds are mended. With trust restored, the Sharks regroup and recommit to their goal, sharpening their focus as they train for the big matches ahead. The emotional stakes run high, and the team’s unity becomes as crucial as any tactical move on the field. The narrative threads of loyalty, forgiveness, and perseverance help drive the story forward as they push toward the trophy.

Then tragedy interrupts the plan: Karthik is stabbed by enemies of his brother, leaving him unable to play in the crucial moments. This brutal turn forces Pazhani into the captaincy role, a test of leadership under pressure. The Sharks rally around their new leader, pulling together with renewed determination as they confront the looming challenge of an intense semi-final against their long-time rivals.

In a nail-biting showdown under great pressure, the Sharks triumph over the Rockers in the semi-finals, sending shockwaves through the local cricket scene. The final pits the Sharks against a different formidable foe—the Bad Boys-II, a team of school kids who practice on the beach and who have proven themselves a tough matchup in the past. The Sharks know they’re facing not just a team, but a test of nerve and grit, a reminder that in cricket as in life, underestimation can be costly.

The movie closes not with a clean victory, but with a stirring sense of struggle and resilience. The team fights to stay in the game, gripping the edge of defeat and holding onto hope as they navigate the twists of fate that come with fierce local rivalries, personal ambitions, and the enduring power of teamwork.
