The picture
Chinnababu is a talented football player who aspires to represent his country on the national stage. His middle-class family, headed by his stern father Narasimham, views his passion as a distraction from finding a stable livelihood. The family faces a major crisis when they are unable to gather funds for Chinnababu's sister's wedding. To save his family's pride and secure his sister's future, Chinnababu makes an ultimate personal sacrifice that goes unnoticed by his family, proving that he is a true winner not on the field, but in life.
