Breakaway Page #2

Synopsis: A hockey enthusiast since 12 years of age, Toronto-based Rajvinder Singh, even went to the extent of trimming his hair, discarding his Pagri/turban, did not complete his education, incurred the wrath of his father, Darvesh, who wanted him to be involved in the family business as well as confirm and respect Sikh religion principles and values. Hoping to play professional hockey, Rajvinder, along with other fellow Sikh players, instead finds himself treated as the object of ridicule, referred to as a 'joker', by mainstream Caucasian players.

He is attracted to stunning law student Melissa Winters while her brother, Dan, offers to coach Rajvinder and his team.

Did you hear, lawyer?

Next time save me.

Good. But I don't think

you can afford my fees.

No discount for

friends and relatives?

And you are?

Your new friend.

Rajveer.

You have started

helping strangers, Melissa.

No. - Since when did

you become my father?

Since the time you

started helping strangers.

Concentrate on your studies.

Thanks forthe advice.

Let's settle one thing.

I am just a tenant in your house.

And you are my hassled brother.

Fine.

But curb your social service.

Who died? And where is the body?

Gurveer.

Why did you leave

from work so early?

We had our hockey practice.

I had told you.

Mother, today it was great fun.

Today, I played with Hammerheads.

It's a champion team.

They have been winning the Hyundai

cup forfour consecutive years.

They took you in theirteam?

No. They didn't.

They didn't take you in theirteam.

But...

I was thinking of retiring

and settling down in Miami.

It was an equal competition, dad.

Competition?

Lavleen, will you ask your son?

Where did the word 'work'

disappearfrom his dictionary?

Son, he means to say...

Tell him.

Had I played cricket,

he would have...

...danced with delight at each shot.

Look, he thinks you...

India is the king of cricket.

Crores of people watch cricket.

Ask him. Does anyone in

India even know about ice hockey?

Look, son. Hockey...

Ask him.

In Canada which

channel shows cricket?

Ask...

My neck is tired.

Shall we eat?

Yes.

I don't know where my

son has disappeared.

I don't know him.

He cut his hair. He

dozes off at work.

Mother, tell

fatherto talk lovingly.

Otherwise he will spend his old

age in an old age home... - Raj.

Eight dollars.

When I came to this city,

I had only eight dollars.

I provided education to my brother.

He converted eight

dollars into eight billion.

I didn't ask anything

from him. Besides a job.

And if my son is capable,

he will run his business.

I don't think that

day will ever arrive.

I am there. I am a good son too.

Shut up.

If you think you will play

ice hockey, you are mistaken.

Don't worry, dad.

As a hockey star's father,

you can retire early.

Then you can rest on a beach and

see bikini... - Stop your nonsense.

Enough.

Henceforth you will

concentrate on yourwork.

And in yourfree time you

will do service in Gurdwara.

Henceforth, no hockey. Got it?

Henceforth, no hockey.

You never saw me playing.

I don't even want to see.

Can I eat his 'Ras Malai' (Sweets)?

Keep quiet and eat yourfood.

Are you fine, brother?

Yes.

Dad says all that

because he loves me more.

I am kidding. You are his brave son.

You do so much drama.

What are you doing? Leave.

"I am your good son."

Leave, brother.
