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.

    Really liked the series but a very abrupt ending

    Hoping the new season is released soon as the series ends when it actually starts picking up pace and very abruptly ...apart from that it is a decent watch ..really enjoyed it ..

    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.

    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.
