This one is easily the one you guys can watch everything about this movie is perfect to direction to Cinemathography, to Story to screenplay, To Art direction to Music and to Emotion to Ending. This is such a great movie which always will remember as one of the classic in dhallywood. With more great movies coming next few year, I must say we are having a golden age for our Film Industy.

10/10.

Finally we all give one slogan !!!.. JOY BANGLA!!! We Bangladeshis will not let the blood of 3 million martyrs go in vain! We believe in the ideals of the liberation war, we believe in the ideals of Bongobandhu, we will make this country a golden Bangladesh, inshallah !Everyone in the movie has worked with love for Bangladesh, congratulations to everyone! Regardless of religion, caste, we all love our Bangladesh, this movie is proof of that! The movie will encourage every Bangladeshi to call the country "Joy Bangla"!!! We love Bangladesh, we will not let the death of 30 lakh martyrs go in vain, we will not let the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman go in vain who said "we will free the people of this country inshallah". InshaAllah there are many virtues. Bongo Bongodhu said, InshAllah, the country has become independent!! Joi Bangla, Joi Bangabandhu!!

Raihan rafi you beauty. You are a gem in Dhallywood. Your creations are so much more clever and sensational in this industy and this one is your peak creation. The Start from end is brilliantly paced. The Cinemathography, The Soundtrack, The Color granding, Story-telling, writting. Every thing in it is done well. Its a pleasure for Dhallywood to get gems like Raihan Rafi. With gems like them. We will one day in sa allah will witness the best of Bangladesh cinema which will be a unlimited golden age. For Acting expect siam ahmed seem to be really stiif of that time. I think everyone did a good job and the last 30 mins are literally the best of any Bangladeshi movie. Props to the actors/actress, producers and director like Raihan rafi. Who have bulid a beautiful gift like this to be happened in this industy.

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.

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.
