Mahavir Singh Phogat is a champion wrestler, who is married to Shobha Kaur. When he fails to fulfil his dream of winning a gold medal for India in wrestling, he promises that his son will achieve it. But he is disappointed, when his wife delivers four daughters. However, he starts training two of his daughters, Geeta and Babita after he sees them beating up two boys. How the two daughters fulfil his dream forms the crux of the story.
