Unbeatable: Diljit<br />
Fastest drag-flick: Diljit<br />
The Plot<br />
Sandeep Singh (Diljit Dosanjh plays the<br />
real life hockey player), a penalty corner<br />
specialist in the Indian hockey team from<br />
Shahbad, Haryana, was hit in the spine<br />
by an accidental gunshot while travelling<br />
on a train. He was to fly to Germany for<br />
the World Cup in 2006. The injury left him<br />
paralysed, with doctors giving him a slim<br />
chance of ever walking again. However,<br />
not only did Sandeep recover but also<br />
re-established himself as the fastest dragflick<br />
in the world, with a speed of 145km/<br />
hr. He went on to captain the hockey team<br />
in January 2009. He represented India at<br />
the Summer Olympics 2012 in London.<br />
Soorma, a biopic on Sandeep Singh, is his<br />
tale of trauma and triumph.<br />
