What an opening scene!!! Waiting for other episodes.

The plot revolves around two brothers and their father's passion towards making them the next superstar of Cricket. The father's obsession borders to mania and gives the vibes that he may do anything to achieve his dreams. To fulfill their ambition they move to Mumbai and covet for a position in the Mumbai under 19 Team. To add spice to the mix, the god gets involved, they meet a rival with some disturbing emotions and one of the brothers does not even want to be a cricketer.

I thought I have figured out the plot but I was way wrong, the ending surprised me in multiple levels. The series got superb casting and performances by both the young and old actors. It is another gem of a Netflix Original.

Selection day may not be a must watch in these fast paced Hollywood series releasing now a days but it has its own essence.. Storyline is simple and it's a good watch.. Each episode is just 20 to 25 mins which won't take much of your time.. Just go for it you won't get disappointed..

Selection day tells the the story of a an aggressive father who brings his two naturally gifted sons to Mumbai for making it big in both cricket & life. The journey undertaken by by these three from a distant small town and how they cope up to the rigours of life in Mumbai forms the core of 12 episodes. The show sways between interesting, good, decent, dull and plain boring moments, back and forth. Teen life, aspirations, desires, income divide, school politics, hate, friendship and cricket selection politics are well highlighted but it is left to the viewers to decide whether all these this are interesting or not. Rajesh Tailing portraying the unrealistic father has done a wonderful job, so does Rathna Pathak shah as the school principal. Cricket scenes were not bad considering how they are usually shot in mainstream cinema. But a lot of moments are a bit exaggerated and predictable. Teenagers would find the series exiting as it relates to their everyday life. The show is must watch for parents on how not to handle grown up kids. If one swaps cricket with academics, 90% of Indian teenagers face the same situation as the two confused kids.

Some unrealistic things occurs just like appearance of God, a toy dog sniffs out like a fully trained military dog. Shows out the painful struggle to represent nation.
