    Upbringing field hockey

    I like the way the movie describes about hockey and politics run behind a sport. Hockey has been a underrated game in India for decades. So, we really should appreciate & encourage such movie makers.

    That song 'Sagame telisina abhimanyudu Ani sambarapadavaddhuraa Padmavyuham chedhin chagalige Arjunudu veeduraa Kyaa re yadhi settingaa leka Bhayapadi meeroka sweatingaa Edu kondalu mokkingaa Aata joosthe meeku seatu siragadha' is just lit & it's why many north Indians support south Indian cinema rather than bollywood.

    The thing I didn't like is there are lots of game mistakes in the movie. Such as rising the ball too high. In hockey, rising ball over player's shoulder is deemed to be dangerous & given free stroke. Ball shouldn't not be raised over 18' inches from field in corner strikes. But, there's a false depreciation of gameplay in the movie shown as heroic. Also, ball cannot be striked in mid-air & ball needs to be positioned to field before forwarding.

    Let's make hockey popular again.

    A true gem of a movie

    This movie is amazing. Acting, story, gripping screenplay, emotion, some comedy, everything is reallyyy well done. DOP and lighting during the hockey matches are top notch as well and looks very rich and vivid. Normally for some sports dramas, it can feel cliche since they're all based around the same story, but this movie felt very new and fresh. Even tho I don't usually like flashback scenes (I find them boring mostly) this wasn't too bad. It wasn't too dragged out. Music was a big highlight as well, the bgm was really well done and added a lot. Really hats off to everyone, hope this movie does well

    ok

    Just an ok ok film....but natpe tunai is far better than this.....music is just ok....makers of this film should copy paste the film that makes a better watch than this....creativity makers added to the film is pretty boring....whole lavanya episode is boring....hit songs of the original film has better re listen value....!!!
