HARJEETA, is based on the remarkable true story of Harjeet Singh, an Indian professional field hockey player, who captained the Indian squad at the 2016 Men's Hockey Junior World Cup. His family, like so many families in this country was struggling with the biggest problem of our nation, poverty. How he comes a humble background, from being dumped by his love interest, just because he didn't have a cup at home to serve her tea, to winning the world cup for India. The Indian Hockey team that year went unbeaten throughout the tournament, eventually winning the Gold medal after 15 years and giving birth to a true sports legend.
