Plot
Sultan Ali Khan, a middle-aged former wrestling champion, lives a lonely life in the town of Rewari, Haryana. Aakash Oberoi, the founder of Pro Takedown, a private mixed martial arts league, funded by Mr. Patel, is encouraged by his father to recruit Sultan to salvage its popularity. After travelling to Haryana, he offers to recruit Sultan, who bluntly refuses because of his retirement from wrestling. Aakash asks Sultan's close friend Govind, who narrates how Sultan's career begun.
Sultan fell in love with Aarfa Hussain, a state-level wrestler and daughter of a local wrestling coach. She initially dislikes him, but later accepts him as a friend. When he confesses his love to her, she insults him, and tells him that she would only marry a well-trained wrestler. Determined to win her respect, Sultan dedicates himself to intense training and ultimately wins a state-level wrestling tournament, and Aarfa. They eventually get married and become famous wrestlers, representing India in various international games.
When they are both selected to compete at the Olympics, Aarfa discovers that she's pregnant. She gives up her childhood dream of winning a gold medal for India, which Sultan fulfills. To her surprise, Sultan's fame causes him to be arrogant, and he slaps a reporter at an event. He also leaves Aarfa, who is nearing her due date, to win a gold medal in Turkey. Upon his return, he learns that his newborn son had died due to severe anaemia. His son had a rare O-blood type, identical to Sultan's, depriving the child of a donor. Angered, Aarfa leaves Sultan to live with her father. Devastated, Sultan decides to raise funds to open a blood bank in his son's name.
In the present, Aakash promises Sultan that the tournament's prize money will go towards fulfilling his dream of opening a blood bank. Sultan agrees to participate and travels to Delhi, where Aakash introduces him to coach Fateh Singh, who initially refuses to train him but agrees after seeing his determination. After 2 months of intense training, Sultan is able to regain his physique and learns freestyle wrestling. In his first fight, Sultan defeats the opponent using capoeira. He soon becomes a nationwide sensation after winning a series of matches and gains Aarfa's support in the process.
In the semi-final round, Sultan wins the fight but is severely injured and is hospitalised. The doctor informs Aakash that if Sultan continues fighting, his injuries would become fatal. Aarfa arrives at the hospital and motivates him to continue fighting. In the final round, Sultan overcomes his pain to defeat his opponent and ultimately wins the tournament. Reunited with his wife, Sultan opens a blood bank using the prize money, and Aarfa resumes wrestling. A few years later, she gives birth to a baby girl, whom Sultan begins to train as a wrestler.
