LAAL SINGH CHADDHA is the story of man’s extraordinary journey. Laal Singh Chaddha (Aamir Khan) is born in 1971 to Gurpreet (Mona Singh). She is separated from her husband and raises Laal alone in the village of Karoli near Pathankot, Punjab. As a young boy (Ahmad bin Umer), he is... fitted with leg braces as he finds it difficult to walk. On top of that, he has a low IQ and hence, he becomes an object of ridicule in school. But Rupa Dsouza (Hafsa Ashraf), his classmate, becomes his close friend. Laal falls in love with her instantly. Both study in the same college in Delhi too. One day, while Laal is being chased by some bullies, he accidentally enters his college ground and the sports coach (Shrikanth Verma) enlists him after he sees him running at lightning speed. Laal participates in running tournaments for his college and becomes a champion. He continues to love Rupa. But Rupa likes him as a friend and is in love with Harry (Guneet Singh Sodhi). She wants to be a model and actress and shifts to Mumbai. Laal meanwhile enlists in the army, like his forefathers did. During training, he becomes friends with Bala (Chaitanya Akkineni). His ancestors used to design innerwear for men and it’s his dream to start an undergarment business. They become so close that he offers Laal a partnership in his future business. Laal accepts it. Sadly, the Kargil War breaks out in 1999 and Bala dies. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
