'Hum Honge Kamyab' is a call that invokes a strong sense of national pride for our athletes and rallies the nation to unite in a state of support for our athletes for Tokyo 2020.

The inspiring campaign also aims to motivate the athletes to put their strongest foot forward for the biggest sporting event in the world and make the nation proud through the journey to win medals.

The film showcases aspiring athletes in training, inspired by their real-life heroes and past Olymp. The track is a stylized version of the anthem "Hum Honge Kamyab". The sentiments of the nation are echoing - "Hindustan dekh raha hai ek hi khwab, Hum Honge Kamyab".
