The Zoya Factor

"The Zoya Factor" Hindi movie. This is a romance drama picturized in the cricketing background, based on the book by Anuja Chauhan.

Dulquer Salman as the Indian cricket team captain- Nikhil Khoda, struggling against all odds to keep the team united for winning ways and Sonam Kapoor as Zoya Singh, a girl from middle class army family working in an advertising agency, accidentally get entangled with the cricket team. The team suddenly relates their winning streak to the association with Zoya.

Script has handled the superstitious ways of the players, very well. Second half script has an uncanny similarity with Malayalam movie 'Baktha janamgalude Sradhakku', where Zoya has been accepted by the general public as a God person.

This female centric movie unfolds, in a narrative pattern. Over expressions by Zoya is childish and sometimes, irritating. Director lost his theme, half way through, hence presentation made a radar less progression.

5.5 on 10 for this love-drama-sports movie, where neither love is tuned well, nor drama is serious or the sports is played well. Screenplay drags a lot, in most of the areas.

The only reason I strongly recommend, for you to watch this movie is, the scene where hero proposes to the heroine. Great dialogues, great script, during that scene... Rest, all pass time.

Superstitions Vs Hard work, is the debate. Even though, we do all the hard work, we love to give the credit to our LUCKY CHARM.
