Gold

GOLD :

Exactly after 11 years we are again watching a Movie based on National game Hockey but this times it's about 1st Olympic Gold medal won by free India.

The story starts from 1936 Berlin Olympics in Germany where Indian Hockey team was actually British India Hockey team which wins the Gold by 8-1 against Germany in their home ground where Tapan Das(Akshay) sees a dream of winning gold for free India. But due to war the Olympics gets called off and in 1946 he gets to know about the game to be held in 1948 and also there comes a news of India getting free from British and he goes for his dream again and Samrat(Kunal Kapoor) the then hockey team captain asks Das to make Imtiaz(Vineet Kr. Singh Mukkabaaz fame) to be the Captain and they create a team for 1948 Olympics which includes Himmat Singh(Sunny Kaushal) & Raghubir Pratap Singh (Amit Sadh) as the team members.

Mean while India gets freedom and country is divided into two countries divide the team and dream also. Now Das' dream gets shattered again and later anyhow a new team is formed and what happens next is the rest part.

Coming to the story of movie is good covering up the pain of partition of country and pain of playing under British rule is shown in a powerful manner but what lacks in the movie is the way players play the game is awful and we can clearly see that they are not professional at all .

Akshay Kumar as Tapan Das does not have much to do in the movie just going all over the country to select the player and being alcoholic is part for him. A very good job is dine by Sunny Kaushal as Himmat Singh and by Amit Sadh as R P Singh are appreciable.

At some point we recall Chak de India but this movie is not of that mark but it is watchable once and for the proud of our country #EkBaarGOLDdekhna is ok.
