Selection Day (2018)
Manju is destined for cricket greatness. There's only one problem, he hates cricket. Controlled from a young age by his overbearing and cricket-obsessed father, Manju's main role in life is to support his older brother and fellow cricket star, Radha. When the family moves to Mumbai and the brothers start at a new school, Manju discovers his interests outside of cricket and starts slipping away from Radha and his father's grasp. More importantly, Manju becomes friends with Radha's greatest cricket rival, a boy who is the very definition of freedom and confidence - concepts Manju has never experienced himself.

    Movie Turned Original

    Episodes are really short basically 20 Min. Which makes it a 120 Minutes Movie. So coming on the show. It's Plot is About Cricket but I would say the show has been making a base for second season. As most of character were still evolving.if you are interested in Cricket it has a great experience Aspects which I Didn't liked much but we're a kind of mystery explainer. So no problem with GOD appearance. The creater Have done a Great Job.

    Mediocre

    Some unrealistic things occurs just like appearance of God, a toy dog sniffs out like a fully trained military dog. Shows out the painful struggle to represent nation.

    Nice and smooth storyline

    Selection day may not be a must watch in these fast paced Hollywood series releasing now a days but it has its own essence.. Storyline is simple and it's a good watch.. Each episode is just 20 to 25 mins which won't take much of your time.. Just go for it you won't get disappointed..

    Season 1 - Not conclusive - difficult to connect with characters

    I ended up watching this series as soon as it was out. For someone like me who haven't read the novel, the series episodes were the only thing to judge.

    This is a new experiment. Though cricket is popular in India, yet there is not much quality web series. The premise is very obvious where two small town kids enter Mumbai to make their name in Cricket. Given the fact, with IPL success, we have seen many small town boys success stories, so it didn't seem something new. So, the pace and emotions was required to weave the story around these.

    However, episode by episode, the director / writer kept on building the characters which were difficult to emotionally connect with. The depth and pace required was completely missing. The worst part, the season 1 ends abruptly. Not sure, what are they trying to achieve. I think, they haven't been able to think in terms of seasons... where you complete a story and then build the next on top of that .. in the next season.

    Watch it with hope that season 2 will be released soon and that will conclude the story.

    Can't really pin point what was wrong, but didn't feel perfect

    This was meant to be a single season mini-series- what intrigues is why only 6 episodes. At times it seems a bit draggy. Acting was good and with the star caste, it looks like Netflix and Prime bring a chance for the theatre artists.
