Jersey

After watching both Telugu Jersey and Hindi version of it. I must say that Hindi version is a copy paste descent remake of the Telugu Masterpiece. Also songs were ok ok but not great. Telugu version Anirudh Music was brilliant. Main Theme song in Telugu version was astounding.

Coming to screenplay Hindi version is same.

Acting of Shahid Kapoor was really good. But i was felt more Kabir Singh. Which shouldn't have.

I am not saying its a bad remake but this version don't feel the way Original version felt. Naani was fantastic in the Telugu Jersey.

Only one highlight is Pankaj Kapoor. Who is as always brilliant a Master class. What phenomenal actor.

Overall its a descent remake.

Telugu Jersey is needed to be rewatch in Telugu.

Please do not, I repeat do not watch Telugu Jersey movie in Dubbed. Thats a worst dubbed movie i have ever seen. Also they butchered the movie in hindi dubbed with showing climax before you think it should have. You will hate it.

Please watch Telugu Jersey with subtitles in Zee5. I recommend it in original language.

Shahid Kapoor Jersey is descent to watch once.

7/10.

Everything is fine unless the film length.

Music, acting, characters, location, everything is really really good.

Aa usuals Shahid loops in every character he plays and Mrunal also looks very beautiful in retro looks.

Climax scene will give you goosebumps and appreciate the one thing which you're at very very good and it's doesn't leaves from you, till you dies. A story of passione and it's burden to follow or not to.

A rather common plot about a 30 plus sportsperson trying to re-establish himself/ herself in the sport some years after retirement and facing hurdles/ humiliation/failure. We had a movie " Panga" where the 30 plus kabaddi player Kangana Ranaut with a child to look after, stuggles to make a come back in the national kabaddi team.

In this movie we have an ex Ranji cricketer Shahid Kapoor who has not played for a decade, now 36 and wants to make it to the national cricket team to prove to his young son and himself that he can be successful . He doesn't have the support of his wife ( Mrunal Thakur) who wants him to continue in his secure government job. Shahid Kapoor does a good job as the angry, frustrated and confused cricketer not able to achieve success. An interesting scene is one in which he rides his bike in despair to the railway station, screams out his anger on the railway platform and the noise of a passing train drowns out the noise. Good one that. Shahid continues to retain his " Kabir Singh" persona both in looks and demeanour which works for him. There is a tendency to capitalize on his successful image. What goes against the film is the long running time of 2 hour 50 minutes due to which it drags at many places. At least 30 minutes could easily be edited out. The movie is predictable too in addition to its slow pace. A few scenes are unconvincing like Shahid not able to raise Rs 500 despite having four friends ! (One also has seen the superb Dhoni movie on a similar subject and which had class.) The movie has some warm and touching scenes of father -son bonding with Shahid and his young son. (Ditto for similar scenes of real father- son Pankaj Kapoor and Shahid.) Mrinal Thakur as the wife having differences with husband Shahid has acquitted herself admirably. Pankaj Kapoor as the affectionate coach is impressive as usual.

Outstanding performance by Shahid like always. Do not trust these negative reviews!!! It may be a remake but it's one of the best. It was a roller coaster of emotions and the movie had me in tears. Definitely going to go watch it again!

The story and acting is brilliant. Its a slow burn movie but the performances from lead artists keeps you engaged. The songs and background music is good. A faithful remake. Must watch!!
