Soorma

You must not miss watching this movie. Absolutely wonderful and inspiring. Diljit as Sandeep is such a heart melting character. So much innocence and goodness and what determination and strength to have made such a come back. To the real life Sandeep paaji -" hats off to you sardarji. We love you "👏👏

**Direction:** After huge disappoint from Kill Dil and Ok Jaanu, Shaad Ali (undefined) tried something new for him as he usually love to remake his Mentor Mani Ratnam (director) (undefined) 's Tamil Super-hits e.g. Sathiyaa, OK Jaanu (2017 movie) (undefined) . This biopic has intense struggle and love but i feel that Hockey was little less intense as we are expecting more intense Climax. **Performance:** Diljit (undefined) Dosanjh was exceptionally brilliant in the role of Sandeep Singh. He looks great as lover or fighter. Taapsee Pannu (undefined) looks pretty and good chemistry between her and Diljit. Angad Bedi showcase great bonding between brother. Vijay Raaz was good in touch in the role of Coach. Kulbhushan Kharbanda has small supporting role but it was worthy one. **Script:** Shaad Ali tried to give honest touch to the script however it lacks inclusion more about preparation and execution in Hockey match. Rehab portion can be little shorter and add more Chak De type thriller so that Indian audience got what they expect from Bollywood cinema. **Music and Lyrics:** Shankar- Ehsaan and Loy delivered another soulful music album after Raazi. Each and every song good for ears especially Diljit's Ishq Di Baajiyaan and Shankar's Soorma Anthem. Gulzar done brilliant job with lyrics once again. **Dialogues:** Dialogues were full of punches. When Vijay Raaz say" Hum Bihari hain, Jor se thook dege to chhed ho jayega" . After this dialogue whistle and claps all over the cinema hall. **Box-office:** As this movie open less than expected opening day collection. It was able to mint 3 crores on Friday. Word of mouth is good, not super so we can expect some jump on Saturday and Sunday. It seems that lifetime collection will be around 30-40 crores. **Last Words:** Nowadays Bollywood directors are serving new new dishes and it is audience's sole responsibility to taste all the dishes in the Cinema halls.

#Soorma : Another biopic of this year is released this Friday. Based on the life of Former Captain of Indian Men's Hockey Team, Sandeep Singh, who is also known as Flicker Singh, this biographical movie is directed by Shaad Ali.

Film covers events of Sandeep's life that made him the star he is Today. After an accidental gunshot injured him in 2006, he was paralyzed. But once a warrior, always a warrior. So, he bounced back with a bang. And that's why this film is called Soorma, meaning warrior.

Diljit Dosanjh plays the titular role of Sandeep Singh Soorma. Taapasee Pannu is there as his love interest whose influence made him to join hockey in early days. The chemistry between these two is superb. I loved the love song featuring these two. It is indeed this year's best love song!

Diljit Paaji is as usual fantastic. Some character needs simplicity as well as complexity, and Diljit has given perfectly as per the requirement. Taapasee looks adorable and acts fine in her role. Satish Kaushik and his on screen brother are good to see. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is good. Special mention for Vijay Raaz. Whenever he comes on screen, public will laugh and enjoy! He is the true entertainer. Good job by him as Sandeep's coach.

Music by Shankar Ehsan Loy trio and lyrics by Gulzar sahab are again on the right track. After the soulful songs in Raazi, here they are giving us some hardcore Punjabi songs. Ishq Di Baajiyaa is one of the most pure and realistic songs one can ever make. Soorma Anthem is good, too. Pardesiya is very soulful. Singers of this song are contestants of Rising Stars where Diljit and Shankar appear as judges.

I was expecting a lot form Shaad Ali. Thus, I am disappointed with him. Ok Jaanu was a superb movie, but it's not up to that mark. Film lacks in some parts. It is slow paced, so the fault is in the screenplay. However, it can not be in the best biopics ever made. Though, it surely is an one time watch film to know the story of Sandeep Singh.

Film will manage to recover its cost of making. It is not a bad movie, just not a solid one. So, whoever will watch it, will give a thumps up for sure. You will surely love the equation between Diljit and Pannu. Get inspire from the legend!

Soorma (Warrior in English) is a biographical sports drama film based on the life of hockey player Sandeep Singh. The film is co-written and directed by Shaad Ali.

The film depicts the extraordinary story of the international hockey player Sandeep Singh (Diljit Dosanjh), through his first step in hockey, his love life, his surprising rise in the world of hockey, and mainly the accidental gunshot injury which paralyzes him and puts him in a wheelchair. This fateful catastrophic event completely breaks him and his dreams, but against all odds, Sandeep gets back on his feet and makes the greatest comeback to international hockey.

Along with Diljit Dosanjh, the film also stars Tapsee Pannu as Harpreet, a really good hockey player, Sandeep's love interest, and the sole reason for Sandeep to learn hockey. Angad Bedi as Bikramjeet Singh, who is playing Sandeep's kind and supportive elder brother. And Vijay Raaz as Harry, Sandeep's stubborn and quirky Coach.

Unlike most other real-life sports films, this one is not just only about a struggle and rise, but it also tells the story of a fateful fall and an epic comeback. The story is good and inspirational but is crunched in the runtime of just two hours. The movie was high on content and drama that it could have been made of at least three hours, which would have let some really crucial moments to breathe and would have been much more impactful to the audience. The first half of the film almost make audiences remember the storyline of Sultan (2016). The film definitely gives Chak de! India (2007) and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) vibe to the audience but does not reach that level of maturity and sincerity. The performances by all the actors are really good, no doubt in that. The film definitely inspires throughout its runtime, and finally treats the audience with the India-Pakistan match.

Verdict : The film is worth to watch, has some little flaws but can be neglected.

Great biopic with superb acting by all the actors. Good to see Satish Kaushik after a long time.
