    Sportive Movie

    Where the cricket is playing like anything, Director chose the Basket ball for that we have to appreciate it.

    "A basketball player strives to win an important tournament".

    Casting and BGM everything is good. When its come to story, its just a one line.

    Hero who dropped his basket ball game because of his friend death, who took the same game for another friend. the only negative things are songs, not even single song is apt for the movie.

    Adul Gulgarni did a good job as a Basket ball team Coach.

    Must watch movie.

    A very nice narrative of Sports in India

    Hardwork and dedication never fails is amply evident. While some critics look at picking holes, finding glitches, the average movie goer expects a clean entertaining movie. This is one such film where no overt embarrassing romantic or college clichés are done. The story which starts on a young man's journey of losing his best friend due to a freak accident during a basket ball game sets the tone. He stays away from the game vowing never to touch a basket ball again. A change of college and city brings him to Chennai. How he gets back to the game and discovers that what he truly loves will always come back to him forms the rest of the story. Director Arivazhagan has done a very well researched and authentic job. Its not a story about cricket vs basket but a sincere plea that all sports should be encouraged and fear of playing the game because of the money involved spoils sportsmanship. Nakul has essayed the role very well and lives the part playing basketball very well. The effort shows. Clearly the boy can act and it's up to the director to bring out the talent. A good comeback. Cinematography is beautiful, capturing all the nuances well including the fast paced basketball which makes one feel as if we are watching a game live. The support cast like Amzath, Chandru support well. Jagan needs special mention for his role as the comic relief. Neat job done. Mrudula the débutant needs to hone her skills a little more as her expressions during emotional scenes and in the romantic song are wooden. Editing again is slick. The only unacceptable and childish part is that of the antagonist playing a video game when the final match is on. Music especially the BGM is very good. Songs though good could have been picturised better. Overall a very watchable movie and a treat to basketball lovers. The message linked with the Bhagavath Geetha is the icing on the cake
