Featured reviews
I didn't go in the theatre with a lot of expectation but when I witnessed this movie it just left me awestruck! So beautifully made and especially such an amazing storyline which inspires you to your core. The director has done a good work, second half hooks you down to your chairs. This movie says that there is no actual failure in life, until you keep trying and keep moving forward with determination and sheer commitment. There is nothing impossible and there is always hope and light after a dark day, just keep going and never give up. They have done a good work in delivering this feeling. Rajpal Yadav and other actors have done their role beautifully. 8 out 10🔥

Watching sports drama movie since long time but nothing fresh..the same casual dialogue.. makers would have also been seen such movies in the past..but they learnt nothing... anyone can figure out the repetition of the scenes and dialogue used previously..also unnecessary over emotional scene in the movie makes it weak and unconnected..for example the scene of police personnel crying..do we seriously encountered such things in life.. emotions are the backbone of any movie but over emotions..and why always every sports person in any movie get distracted by women's only..it's better not to add such non scene rather being close to reality.but will appreciate the acting and the efforts of whole team.
