Sons of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers

Awesome and watched it in one sprint! Unlike documentaries it really makes you emotional. You start feeling for AB, coach and players once they start loosing matches. BBC did a great job in the way they interspersed their tournament journey with personal life story of the players! Great experience watching it.

Truly explained the lives of kabaddi players...their problems and experience was perfectly explained...hats off to AB sir..If you like kabaddi you can relate to it a lot .Must watch...It's our sport our pride

Good sports documentaries are rare in India. On top of being good this is a very honest documentary, which doesn't shy away from showing the tension between team members and coach, the very brazen coaching approach of the coach Srinivas Reddy, the vulnerability of a franchise owner, the humble background which most of the players come from, and how hard it is for them to adjust to the limelight that Kabbadi is getting lately. The only complain I have is that this felt a bit rushed for someone making a documentary for first time in this sport they should have taken time to develop all characters in the team, other competing teams in the league and the emergence of sport itself. A miniseries with just about 2.5 hours of content didnt do the justice to the topic. Its also great that they aired the series regardless of Jaipur pink panthers overall performance being so poor in that season and future of most of the protagonists hanging in balance, it just adds to the feeling that this is a real work of documentary and not some Bollywood fairy tale. Overall a greta watch.

It tooks lot of guts to make a documentary of a failure ... Hats off must watch for a kabbadi lover and sports lover.

It was the first series/documentary I watched on kabaddi.. It was definitely worth it. Bbc team did a good job capturing both team & management's pov.. Management & Mr. Abhishek Bachchan did a good job giving them access to behind the scenes. :) I really want a season 2 regardless of the win or loss.. Maybe they can increase the length of the series & add more teams etc. (like in formula1 Netflix documentary) I literally signed in just to give this a thumbs up 👍 This series is definitely gonna increase Jaipur's Pink panther's fan following..
