Damal

For those of us aware of Bangladesh's birth-history in 1971, it is a movie that can keep everyone in sheer sensation and excitement, all the time! A story of true inspiration and patriotic courage. Historical chronology was also nicely shown, with sufficient details. Wish many more movies like this in the future, not only for spreading historical knowledge, but also create exemplary stories that can inspire new generations. Finally, the make, camera-action, sound effects- every aspect was beyond expectation; and the choice of exquisite locations for shot was really appreciable. Great job, Damal Team!!

Extremely loud and meaningless background music that doesn't sync with the visuals. The movie seems very rushed with out any consistency among the scenes and any meaningful back stories of the lead characters. It heavily relies on gore and violence to trigger emotions which falls due to the absence of any meaningful script and story. The visuals are something I expect out of a mediocre action film but this movie wasn't one of them and I expected better visuals considering it is a sports drama movie.

Disappointing acting, although the actors and actresses aren't to be blamed. As the saying goes, no actor can rise above a bad script.

Its a good movie indeed. Perhaps one of the best Bangladeshi films made this year.

Shariful Raz was phenomenal paired with Bidya Sinha Mim. Siam did well with his part. The direction was good; keeping in mind the weight of the project he had to work with. He didn't disappoint indeed.

This movie relied on heavy music to potray emotions into audiences mind. So dont wait for it to watch at home. Its full potential can be experienced at the hall.

Personally I thought there shouldve been more technical stuffs regarding football as it was mainly a sports genre film. Also, the hype of the bicycle kick created by the trailer shouldve been exploited more.

All in all, certainly a watchable film.

The story line was very much copy of dev Golondas .. The Acting was Weak in some parts..But The Plot was great..The color was A Alot better then some Bd Films..Its surely Isnt a good movie cause its a copy but its not bad either.

Usually there isn't much good Bengali movies nowadays. Damal could be such wonderful experience if the director would do justice with it.

First of all. Siam Ahmed should learn acting. He's an over hyped actor who can't act but thinks himself as Leonardo Di Caprio. His overacting in this film was so irritating to watch. In addition to that, his makeup was not so 70's type. His hairstyle, looks, costumes everything was too much modernistic.

On the other hand, Shariful Raaz was top notch in everything. From his makeup to his acting, everything was on board. But, his screen time was less than Siam, which was so unjustified.

Meem was ok, but sometimes her look was so bright, which was not so mergeable with 1971.

Intekhab Dinar's prosthetic was so bad to look as it seemed his skin burnt down at old age.

Other actors were as far as good in their role. But, the romantic storyline of Siam and Sumi's character was unnecessary in my opinion.

The song 'Mon Posh Manena' was not so necessary in that suspensive situation of war. It decreased the tension of war so badly that the viewers forgot that it's a movie on !971 War of bangladesh.

In the Title track, director merged present football team with Shadhin Bangla football team. It was ok, if there wasn't 2 heroines in that song as they were not football players. It appears that the heroines were used as item girls in that song which was so cheap.

The CGI viewers in football gallery was a item of copy pasting which was clearly visible and similar footage of cheerful viewers in gallery used several times. Where it was easy to use different footages.

Overall, it's an overdone film and the film didn't touch the heart at all. After finishing the film, it's confusing to think what should I feel about the movie. Should I sympathize by thinking about the sacrifice and brutality of 1971 or should I feel so glad and dance with the football players for their great achievement.
