Sultan (सुल्तान)

Today, people are asking just one question:

what is the future of Indian PRO Take-down tournaments?

PRO Take-down is also called mixed martial arts or freestyle wrestling.

For three months,

the rumors in India say this tournament is a lost cause.

It's hard to say how much money has been wagered on this game.

But one thing can be said for certain, "This is no small loss."

No crowds today either. Akash Oberoi, the son of Olympic chairman

Gyan Singh Oberoi who brought this game to India in the form

of the Cricket Premier League will have a long face today.

The board is meeting now. Soon they will come to a decision.

Once again it's been proven that the only game that counts in India is cricket.

Indian fans have smacked down this wrestling league and it's safe to say

that this sports franchise has seen its last days.

I'm sorry for your losses...

and I take full responsibility.

PRO-Take-down was my brainchild.

But each one of you believed in it.

I did not con you.

You all know that this sport is the fifth highest grossing in the world.

And I still believe in it.

So all I'm saying is just give me six more months.

And I will compensate all of you.

Don't make this about your ego, Akash.

We all know there is something about our model that's wrong.

We can't understand the problem.

No, I don't agree with you.

What will you do in six months that you couldn't in two years?

Maybe you're right.

I know that we have lost all of our money.

You know the stadiums are empty.

Today, if we close the franchise,

our last few sponsors will pull out and we'll be on the streets.

And I won't let that happen.

All I'm saying is just give me one last chance.

Mr. Patel...

trust me.

I won't let you down.

Once again, Akash Oberoi has managed to dodge the press.

He didn't answer questions from the press.

How should we interpret this silence? What is the future of PRO Take-down?

We will only know the answer six months from now.

How much time do you have left?

Six months.

Dad, I'm sorry for all the losses.

But, you were right.

This sport has no future.

There is a future. You just can't see it.

You know, this sport is a hit all over the world.

Westerners are crazy for it.

We are not western.

This is the problem with your generation.

Everything that is important seems "cool" to you.

What are you trying to say, Dad?

I'm trying to say that the future of this sport is in India.

But not in the hands of westerners.

India is a country with different values

and relations between people.

When an Indian really beats a white man in this stadium,

that's when all your seats will fill up.

Are you joking?

Do you think an Indian wrestler could last a round with a seven-footer?

Sultan.

Akash, I have seen him fight.

He is strong, intelligent and spirited.

Winning is just a habit to him.

He beats all his opponents.

He has electricity in his eyes and power in his arms.

One of his punches is like 10.

Welcome all wrestling fans!

All warriors on the battlefield, welcome to Haryana.

This is the last fight of the tournament.

Presenting the heart and soul of Haryana:

Sultan Ali Khan.

In a 50-foot arena,

this trailblazer will show us what he's made of!

Will he make it or not?

We are all gathered here today to see if he can win the title!

Today in the stadium, the State Wrestling Federation

is offering this tractor as a prize.

All these women!

They've left their soap operas today

to come to this stadium just to watch Sultan!

The land is in your blood, your blood is the land

The land is in your blood, your blood is the land

God above, earth below

And in the middle, the madness of the world

Sultan...

And here comes our very own Sultan!

The body and soul of Haryana!

The land is in your blood, your blood is the land...

Gyan, sir, mark my words.

This man will certainly win a medal in the Olympics!

Oh, no! He defeated another one! He beat another one!

He is scattering his opponents like matches!

Look! Another wrestler down.

Look at those girls dancing.

I think today Sultan is going to make history.

Oh, definitely!

I think this wrestler may be a challenge for Sultan.

Sultan, surrender, or I'll break your heart.

The land is in your blood, your blood is the land

God above, earth below

And in the middle, the madness of the world

This is the power of Sultan.

No wrestler is able to stand up to him!

Sultan has made history!

He has made history!

The body and soul of Haryana!

Sultan Ali Khan!

Sultan is the champion!

He wins a tractor!

These 33 pounds are now in the name of Sultan!

And these girls dancing here, he's won them, too!

Akash, if you put him in this ring,

then trust me--

one name will ring out all across India...

"Sultan, Sultan, Sultan."

A dreamer, an artist lives within us

A forgotten hero lives within us

A dreamer, an artist lives within us

A forgotten hero lives within us

Oh! She will dress up for you

Oh! She will laugh and call you

Oh! She will make you dance!

This little thing we call it life

This life of mine and yours, of mine and yours

Life that keeps moving along its sweet current

This life of mine and yours

Of mine and yours, mine and yours

Mine and yours

She goes up and down of her own will

Without smoke and fire, she still burns.

It's a takedown, you're gonna hit the ground hard,

When life gets you hard don't be perturbed

Lovin' and fightin' ain't far apart

You can love the fight, but you can't fight your heart

Oh, how fickle!

Whether radiant and soft

Or a heavy darkness, this life!

This heart doesn't understand, a lion lives within us

And if we will it, a storm lives within us

This heart doesn't understand, a lion lives within us

And if we will it, a storm lives within us

Oh! She will dress up for you

Oh! She will laugh and call you

Oh! She will make you dance, this thing called life!

This life of mine and yours

Life that makes this drum beat!

Life that keeps moving along its sweet current

Life that makes this drum beat, drum beat, drum beat!

These arrangements have been made?

-Did you get your salary? -Yes, sir, I got it.

Everyone is waiting for you inside.

-Good morning. -Good morning, sir.

Thank you.

Write the date.

And for the rest, you should have that name also!

-Write the father's name, okay? -Excuse me, brother?

-Sultan Ali Khan? -Inside.

Your work will get done.

How long will you keep collecting small change like this?

It won't do the job.

The job will be done, Rajbir.

It will take some time,

but it will definitely be done.

Thank you.

Are you sure his name's Sultan Ali Khan?

But, Dad, his posture is all twisted! He's of no use to us.

He's totally unfit.

I saw some wrestling schools on the way here.

Hey, brother, did the tractor get stuck again?

Someone call Sultan to take care of it. Why are you causing trouble?

Dad, one second. Hold on.

The land is in your blood, your blood is in the land...

Release the gas!

The land is in your blood, your blood is in the land...

God above, earth below

And in the middle, the madness of the world

Sultan...

Four.

The land is in your blood, your blood is in the land...

Dad, you were right.

Excuse me, Sultan?

Yes?

-How's Gyan, sir? -He's good.

You look a lot like him.

Thanks for the offer...

but I've quit wrestling.

Don't say that.

I'll get you a lot of money.

Leave it be.

I'm not interested.

My regards to your father.

But at least name a price!

Name your price.

We can negotiate and adjust.

If you weren't the son of Gyan, sir,

I would completely adjust you right now from here to there, top to bottom.

Your father is a good man.
