Shuttlecock Boys

I saw Hemant's Shuttlecock boys in New Delhi as part of Jagran Film Festival. It was an inspirational story. I do not understand much technicality of movie but liked all characters of movie and specially their simplicity. I could relate to it because I understand how it feels when you know you are just an ordinary being and want to achieve something extraordinary. You go through feeling of helplessness and hopelessness but life is a never-ending struggle to 'grow'. And, that was 'Shuttlecock Boys'. Story of heartbreak, struggle to survive and change impossible to possible.

I would like to quote a leader- "Material wealth does not necessarily make for happiness. Nor does fame. Hope is life's greatest treasure. A life without hope is bleak and gray. If you have no hope, create some."

Thumbs up Hemant :) May more success come your way. All the best!

Shuttlecock Boys proves that you do not need established 'stars' and a mammoth budget to make good films….it takes a beautiful storyline and some good performances to touch the hearts of audience…I saw the movie at Film Bhawan as a part of Jaipur Film Festival and it was a wonderful experience. Appreciation for the movie was obvious by the loud applause in the fully occupied auditorium for so many scenes.

Even though the film shows 4 protagonists on screen but I strongly felt the presence of a 5th protagonist too – the director of the film, behind the camera – Mr. Hemant Gaba - who not only chased his dream but also achieved it in an exemplary way ..Shuttlecock Boys is truly heart warming …thank you Pennywise Films for giving us such a beautiful movie…and best wishes for all your future projects

Very fresh, inspiring and honest, was immediate reaction when i watched SHUTTLECOCK BOYS during Jaipur Film Festival.

It certainly takes you back to your younger days when you played badminton with your friends in the backyards. Most of us in India grow up discussing their dreams during daily dose of backyards sports. Unfortunately most of us fall in to the rut of making money and continue to do so for rest of our lives unlike the characters in the movie chose to do with their lives.

Characterization, music and very real life like location helped me make a greater connect with the movie.

Shuttlecock Boys did manage to make me carry a piece to thought back home. Congratulation and best of luck to the team PENNY WISE.

A youth based story line and new talent is perfect combination that works very well for Shuttlecock Boys. Loved watching this film and happy to learn that there are independent film-makers coming up with refreshing stories and new talent. Regular bollywood formula films are quiet boring these days. In present where everyone is a part of rat-race of earning money and positions, only few people can dare to follow their heart and chase their dreams and this film depicts that. Friendship, courage and determination all are justified well in this film. It was a treat to watch Shuttlecock Boys. Well done and a thumbs up for the team.

Got to see Shuttlecock Boys in Siri Fort auditorium, New Delhi, on 25th Sep 2011(part of Jagran Film festival) and thoroughly enjoyed the movie...The realistic portrayal of Indian middle class families and aspirations of youth is indeed praiseworthy…it is natural to empathize with the characters and understand their emotions as many of us go through similar ups and downs in every day life.The four friends have their individual personalities, distinct from each other and yet their bond of friendship is so strong. It's commendable that despite most of them being first timers, the actors have performed so well...photography and direction are truly impressive.We do need more movies like Shuttlecock Boys instead of over hyped superhero sagas
