A football biopic of a inspiring football coach who is determined to bring footballing glory for the country. Though movie start is sluggish makes little impatient to watch but builds up slow and steadily to end on a perfect emotional note.

The initial build up helps to understand state of football in country, politics in the sport ( ever present in any sporting association of the country), lack of basic kits ( players representing country barefooted) and internal battles and fighting with the system. What makes movie watchable is the overall winning spirit its packs in latter half of the movie and the match sequence- the emotions, thrills and jitters that it brings quite same as watching the match live on TV. The end is highly sentimental which stays to ignite the sporting fervour and cheer up for the Country.

It is really a must watch movie.... Ek ek scene aap ko bandh k rkhega.. I wonder how some people call these kind of historic movies as boring and deny watching them by compare these movies with romantic films... There's no competition for this man....

Firstly toh get to know about history and it inspires you to do more research on our historic moments

Secondly the way this movie was presented, no one could feel bored, every scene brings in a new hope and happiness by watching our heroes succeeding towards victory...

Ajay Devgan Sir and the whole cast played an excellent role in making this film a blockbuster.

How SA Rahim's family and Anjan Da supported him... The team proved themselves as a true follower of their guru... Every single emotion was clearly reflected by the actors...

Bs emotional kr diya Ajay Devgan ki movie ho aur maza naa aaye aisa kbhi hua h kya... Awaiting for your next film Sir :)

I would personally suggest everyone to go watch this film.

Outstanding stuff... was eagerly waiting for this.. be it direction, acting, music, screenplay, cinematography ... outstanding in all departments. It starts slow but gradually grows on you.. and reaches the pinnacle by the time it ends. Selection of support cast is faultless. Every player character looks real and a professional footballer.. Gajraj Rao has this uncanny habit of surpassing himself with each outing.. Priyamani has brought her character of wife to life.. finally Ajay Devgan... will be surprised if he misses on national award for this. Rehman is at his best. Music takes this fare to different level.. and Amit R Sharma. Take a bow. Each scene is so well crafted, it looks like poetry in motion. Expectations set with Badhai Ho have been surpassed... go watch it.

I watched this movie with no idea of the storyline but I can't even stand from my seat in movie running time. Despite of its 3 hours running time, there is not a single moment where you want to blink your eye specially movie second half.

It's a must watch for every Indian to live our glorifying football history. IMAX experience is above the expectations .

BMG was above average and it's make you feel every moment.

I never experienced football experience like this in IMAX and the director makes us feel proud of our history.

Loved every frame of the movie...!!

It's highly recommended for an IMAX.

Besides 2 unnecessary songs the USP of this excellent movie was its almost flawless editing. Although the movie was 3hrs 1 minute long,i never never felt bored(except for the 2 unwanted songs)as it was always very interesting and captivating throughout. Although his role was not a challenging one at all,Ajay Devgn is always extremely convincing in these types of roles unlike comic roles where he's a total failure. Gajraj Rao's average acting was overshadowed by his ridiculous hairpiece which made him look like an absolute clown. The rest of the junior cast were average while all of the footballers were very convincing in playing their parts This true story was very well scripted and the screenplay and direction were absolutely brilliant 9/10.
