Feel good sports drama about underdog stories we can relate. Srijit Mukherji couldn't avoid its cliché-ridden but sincere childhood moments in first half was kinda hard to resist. Taapsee did all the cricket scores with her emotional actions and expressions.

The film is very well written with the storyline focusing on women's cricket receiving recognition through the eyes of Mithali raj. The bharatnatyam reference is brilliant and her childhood story is intriguing. The music although could have been a little better.

I had really high hopes for this movie. But this movie falls flat on the promise of being even remotely as good as the trailer. Mithali Raj is one of the greats of Indian cricket. Her story is really inspiring and motivating to all sports enthusiasts and people in general. But that never comes across during the course of this 2hr 30mins movie. Tapsee has had the same expression on her face in a lot of her films and she does the same expression in this one as well. Womens Indian cricket faces a lot of challenges. And all of that is overshadowed by bad acting. Also, why have so many songs been added in a sports biopic unnecessarily? Mithali Raj has been reduced to a mere character in her own biopic, unworthy of her stature in Indian cricket history.

FAILS TO DELIVER- devoid of hard hitting & engrossing drama while the screenplay is far stretched. The lead doesn't look like Mithali Raj nor her mannerisms justifies the character. Cricketing scenes are poorly executed with no elevating & inspiring moments.

The film is a biographical drama that shows *Mithali Raj's* life as a cricketer & it showcases her personal life as well..!!

Tapsee is *good for nothing* here👎.., Our star cricketer, Mithali Raj, deserves better casting & a better film ..., This movie is very boring & slow.

It disappoints..!!
