"Winning is not everything, it's the only thing". That's the motto of Sohail Khan's upcoming Aryan. There have not been many movies that have revolved around the life of a boxer. Written and directed by debutant Abhishek Kapoor, 'Aryan' is a film is about dreams and following your dreams to the best of your ability, irrespective of the fact whether you win or loose. The moral is to give it your best shot, that's the most important thing!

Aryan [Sohail Khan] had two things that excited him the most - his passion boxing and his love Neha [Sneha 'Lucky' Ullal]. He couldn't dream of living without any one of the two. In the case of boxing, he was rising from one level to another and one man responsible for this journey of his was Ranveer Singh [Puneet Issar], the college coach who was training him to go all the enable him to reach the nationals.

But was this good enough for Aryan to succeed?

Because at every step of his, if there was someone who used to infuse life in him by her mere presence, it was Neha. In short, Aryan needed both to exist simultaneously, boxing as well as Neha, to facilitate his very existence!

As all good things have to come to an end, the same happens in the case of Aryan too. He comes at such a juncture in his life where he has to choose between his passion and love. Just like any other human being in such tough circumstances, even Aryan opts for the latter and chooses to forget about his skills when he was nearing the peak! But is he unhappy at his decision? Not at all, because he continues with his life just like any other person of his age and even goes on to have a child. Neha continues to be the strength of his life as she manages the dual role of a housewife and a professional woman amazingly well. But things do not continue to be rosy till eternity and cracks start appearing more visible in torrid times!

Meanwhile Aryan still remains connected with the world of sports through his job as a sports commentator. And this is where he realizes that his heart is still there in the boxing ring. With things not being particularly good in either his professional or personal life, inspiration from Ranveer Singh was the only thing that was required for Aryan to enter the ring again.

Aryan gets into the boxing gear soon. He manages to encourage himself to take on the world once more. He can now dream of being a champion boxer all over again!

But can he really do it this time around?

He may be able to get his physical prowess through intense training. He may be able to convince himself mentally that he has in him to make him reach there.

But what about his soul, his heart, his life - Neha!?

Because now she is no more with him! She has left him! He is all-alone. With just his dreams, aspirations and willpower! But no one to give him supporting hands when he requires them the most!

What happens to Aryan now? Will sheer physical prowess, great mental strength and will-power enable him to be the invincible? Or would his resolve be brittle enough to break soon in absence of his love?

Will Aryan win again?
