Sudeep in Pailwaan (2019)

Review by ConfusedRoulette

Pailwaan

6/10

"An inspiring sports melodrama which apparently packs a lot into a single film!"

Kichcha Sudeepa has worked really hard for this film especially to undergo a physical transformation from a charming hero to a powerful & athletic wrestler! As per the actor, he has played several challenging roles in cinema but none of them demanded this level of transformation!

The film shows the journey of a young boy Krishna, an orphan who is adopted by a gymkhana owner who also becomes his coach. He eventually rises against all odds to become a successful wrestler. Things take a turn and Krishna faces some grave challenges in his life which ultimately leads him to swear not to ever wrestle again! From here the story continues in quite an inspiring way.

The film in its entirety follows a predictable and clichéd approach to story telling. The first half of the film has the majority of melodramatic acting, dull comedy and un-impressive song sequences. The second half is better mainly because of the energetic fight scenes, emotions and some strong, heart touching dialogues.

The film tries to pack a lot of things into a single film. Especially at the beginning, the screenplay is just too fast with several things happening in a short frame of time. The film doesn't give enough time to allow the viewer to indulge himself, connect and blend into the emotions on-screen.

The casting of the film could have been better and the film entirely centres on Kichcha Sudeepa who stands out throughout the film with his brilliant performance. His dedication and perseverance reflects in the film. Suniel Shetty manages to impress in some parts. Aakanksha Singh has acted decently. The cinematography is very good. The music is satisfactory with a couple of melodious song sequences.

All in all this is an inspirational sports movie and although it tries to pack a lot into a single film, it almost proves to be a one time watch with the family!
