Jaya Nigam, a former Kabaddi world champion, now works at a local railway station in Bhopal. She shares a modest life with her husband, Prashant, and their son, Aadi, adjusting to her new routine after Prashant's transfer.

Aadi frequently falls ill, prompting Jaya to make regular trips to the doctor. This affects her punctuality at work, leading her manager to remind her that she must formally request time off.

Recalling her past as a Kabaddi star, Jaya reflects on a time when she could often miss work without repercussions. This nostalgia for her athletic days is juxtaposed with her current responsibilities.

Jaya's former teammate, Meenu, returns as the coach and talent scout for the Bhopal Kabaddi team. Meenu's encouragement sparks Jaya's desire to return to the sport and reclaim her past glory.

Feeling neglected by Jaya's absence at a race on Sports Day, Aadi expresses his desire for her to return to Kabaddi. His support and research into famous comebacks inspire Jaya to reconsider her own career.

With support from Aadi and Meenu, Jaya decides to return to Kabaddi, despite concerns about her fitness. Prashant agrees to assist in her training to see if she can compete in the sport again.

After rigorous training, Jaya secures a trial with the Eastern Railways in Mumbai. This opportunity brings forth a dilemma as the coach demands she relocate to Calcutta, which she reluctantly declines.

Opting to remain in Bhopal, Jaya faces criticism from Meenu for not moving to Calcutta. This decision leads to rising tensions as she attempts to balance her obligations to her family and her passion for Kabaddi.

Realizing the need for better coaching, Jaya ultimately relocates to Calcutta. With her supportive roommate, Megha, she enhances her skills, focusing on her strength to compete against younger players.

After extensive training, Jaya successfully earns a spot on the national railway team. However, as her commitments grow, the strain on her family life intensifies, with Prashant managing Aadi alone.

As the national coach scouts talent for the upcoming Asian Kabaddi championship, Jaya's performances initially create doubts. Media attention around her journey begins to grow, setting the stage for her comeback.

Within the team, dynamics become tense, with hostility growing from the captain, Smita. Jaya finds herself struggling to secure her place in the squad during early matches.

As India reaches the finals against Iran, Smita ultimately decides to trust Jaya’s experience in a crucial match. This trust marks a turning point not just for Jaya but for the entire team.

In a tense final match, Jaya executes a pivotal raid that leads India to victory. This not only secures the championship win but also marks Jaya's triumphant return to Kabaddi and restores her identity as a remarkable athlete.
