Plot
{{Long plot|date=January 2022}}
Sometime in 2010, Govind "Govi" Patel is giving a presentation at a school about the services provided by Sabarmati Sports Club, an enterprise owned by him. Omkar "Omi" Shastri, in a parallel scene, is released from prison and Govi picks him up. While halting at a restaurant mid-way, Govi and Omi reminisce about their lives ten years ago, and remember their friend Ishaan "Ish" Bhatt.
= Ten years ago =
Ish is an ex-district level cricketer who was a victim of selection politics. Omi is the nephew of a Hindu politician, Bittu Joshi, who funds his father's temple, and Govi has a penchant for business and numbers. Together they open a sports shop and a cricket training academy.
Ish asks Govi to tutor his sister younger Vidya in maths for her upcoming end-of-school exams. Vidya and Govi gradually become close to each other and develop a romantic relationship. Upon learning this, Omi warns Govi of the consequences, as Ish is very protective of his sister.
The three friends spot a rare budding cricket talent, Ali Hashmi, and Ish starts training him vigorously despite political tension between Ali's father Naseer Hashmi and Bittu, who lead rival parties. Govi wants to expand the budding business by opening a shop in a mall. With financial help coming from Bittu, the trio set up shop in the mall, but on 26 January 2001, a destructive earthquake hits Gujarat and the mall is destroyed. Omi is forced to work for Bittu's right-wing party, and is unable to return to the shop.
While Naseer is away, Ish leads Ali and the Muslim neighbourhood to the relief camps set up by Bittu's party. When they are turned away, Ish and Omi fight and temporarily break off their friendship. They reunite after India's surprise win in the test match against Australia on 15 March 2001. Bittu loses the elections in his constituency to his opponent Subodh Mehta, who is supported by Naseer. In response, Bittu sends pilgrims (kar sevaks) to Ayodhya to the Ram Temple, including Omi's parents. On 27 February 2002, they learn that the train coach carrying the pilgrims was burned, resulting in the deaths of 59 people. Omi is shattered, and Bittu convinces him to take revenge on the murderers of his parents.
Ish attempts to take Ali away to protect him from the imminent communal riots, and Govi goes to Ali's house to help Ish. The mob led by Bittu storms into the Muslim locality, killing every Muslim in sight. A fight ensues between Naseer and Bittu. Omi, enraged at Bittu's death, follows him with a gun. Meanwhile, Ish learns of Vidya and Govi's relationship. Enraged, he thrashes Govi, while Omi enters the premises with a gun in hand, desperate to find and kill Ali and Naseer. Ish and Govi hurriedly try to stop Omi as he desperately searches for Ali and Naseer. Omi finally aims and shoots at Ali and Naseer. In a bid to save Ali, Ish takes the bullet himself and dies.
= Present day =
Omi is released from prison. Govi and Vidya are married and have a son, whom they have named Ishaan in memory of his friend and her brother. Vidya forgives Omi when he breaks down in front of her. The film ends with a now grown-up Ali debuting for the Indian cricket team against Australia. He plays his first shot by hitting the ball to the boundary with a cover drive, just like Ish had taught him. Ish's spirit smiles at Ali's achievement and fades away.
