The boy who wanted to kill Vasco Da Gama.
Plot
Five Hyderabad-based slackers decide to hook up with girls and have some fun in Goa. Upon arrival, instead they end up squabbling with another group of 5 Mumbai-based males over a woman, Koena, and a hotel room. Two local residents, I.M. Romeo and Vasco Da Gama, intervene, ask the groups to settle their differences in a cricket match, and create two teams 'Hyderabadi Biryani' and 'Mumbai Vadapaon'. The duo then seek the financial backing of wealthy Richie Rich and his blonde girlfriend, and go to considerable length, including disconnecting Cable TV, and publicizing this event with the assistance of stunning Aparno Ghosh. The match is very attended and won by the Biryanis. Encouraged by this, and hoping to bring in some more revenue, Richie decides to include gangsters lead by Badshah brothers and Nariyal Khan from Hyderabad and Mumbai respectively - a move that will lead to even more publicity and a media frenzy - while pressure will be brought on both teams to bring out their very best or face dire consequences.

Vasco da Gama, 1st Count of Vidigueira (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈvaʃku ðɐ ˈɣɐmɐ]) (c. 1460 or 1469 – 24 December 1524) was a Portuguese explorer, one of the most successful in the Age of Discovery and the commander of the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India. For a short time in 1524 he was the Governor of Portuguese India, under the title of Viceroy.
Vasco da Gama was born in either 1460 or 1469 in Sines, on the southwest coast of Portugal, probably in a house near the church of Nossa Senhora das Salas. Sines, one of the few seaports on the Alentejo coast, consisted of little more than a cluster of whitewashed, red-tiled cottages, tenanted chiefly by fisherfolk.
Vasco da Gama's father was Estêvão da Gama, who had served in the 1460s as a knight of the household of Infante Ferdinand, Duke of Viseu and went on to rise in the ranks of the military Order of Santiago. Estêvão da Gama was appointed alcaide-mór (civil governor) of Sines in the 1460s, a post he held until 1478, and continued as a receiver of taxes and holder of the Order's commendas in the region.
Zheng He (1371–1433; simplified Chinese: 郑和; traditional Chinese: 鄭和; pinyin: Zhèng Hé), also known as Ma Sanbao (simplified Chinese: 马三宝; traditional Chinese: 馬三寶) and Hajji Mahmud Shamsuddin (Arabic: حاجي محمود شمس الدين) was a Hui-Chinese mariner, explorer, diplomat and fleet admiral, who commanded voyages to Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, East Africa, and the Horn of Africa collectively referred to as the Voyages of Zheng He or Voyages of Cheng Ho from 1405 to 1433.
Zheng, born as Ma He (馬和 / 马和), was the second son of a Muslim family which also had four daughters, from Kunyang, present day Jinning, just south of Kunming near the southwest corner of Lake Dian in Yunnan.
He was the great great great grandson of Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din Omar, a Persian who served in the administration of the Mongolian Empire and was appointed governor of Yunnan during the early Yuan Dynasty. Both his grandfather and great-grandfather carried the title of Hajji, which indicates they had made the pilgrimage to Mecca. His great-grandfather was named Bayan and may have been a member of a Mongol garrison in Yunnan.
Antônio Augusto Ribeiro Reis Jr. (born 30 January 1975 in Recife), commonly known as Juninho or Juninho Pernambucano, is a Brazilian footballer and dead-ball specialist, currently playing as a midfielder for Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A club Vasco da Gama. He is considered to be one of the greatest free kick takers of all time. Juninho led Olympique Lyonnais to 7 consecutive Ligue 1 titles before leaving the club in 2009 while scoring 100 goals in 344 games for Lyon, and six goals in 40 games for the Brazilian national team. He retired from international football after the 2006 World Cup.
Juninho started his career at Sport Recife and quickly established himself as a rising star in Brazilian football. After winning two regional titles with Sport, he moved to Vasco da Gama in 1995, and won several trophies with the club, including the Brazilian Championship in 1997 and 2000, the Copa Libertadores in 1998, the Copa Mercosur in 2000, as well as the 2000 Brazilian Silver Ball award as one of the best Brazilian midfielders of the season. In that time, he was part of an incredible squad, playing with Romário, Edmundo, and Juninho Paulista.
Out of it all comes shame
like the villain who laid the blame
and like it wasn¹t me who said
that you¹re better off being dead
out of it all comes a sense of despair
your head wears your mind but your body is bare
you wake from your sleep and you know that it¹s true
you¹re starting to win but the game¹s nearly over for you
you know that it¹s true, yeah you
and everyone¹s through with you
and this day is blue for you
why is it only me that believes in honesty?
and like I¹ve searched all the darkest mines
to try and find out where you lie
somebody¹s changed and I know that it¹s you
