Love All movie review
The over protective father desires to safeguard his son from any psychological or physican harm in the future, unlike the trouble he went through in his school and college days. Love All movie review... "The young ones have infinite dreams and they eat sleep and think of only one thing - Their game. Only to experience shattered dreams as one in a million reach the Olympics or the altair of their game receiving medals and big fat cheques. Rest of them just fade over in time and don't they deserve a life of dignity?" says the father who has seen it in the eyes of those children in sport sweating it out under the scorching sun." His child's teacher beautifully summed it, "What a child can learn in the field of sport cannot be learnt in any academics. It is only this interest in sport that makes the child different from the average ones. At least the sport teaches him to be a better in ....

Saina movie review
For many years after the era of family dramas and emotional stuff and then during the Khanna-Bachchan era there were hardly any movies made on the lives of real life heroes. As our young nation at that time clamoured for either a romantic lover or later for the angry young man tales and action as if they were searching for a quick fix hero who could do anything and everything. Saina movie review... The audiences went to cinema for entertainment where logic hardly played any role, however in the last few years things have changed as the nation has matured, we needed real heroes whose life would inspire the desires of a billion people.

Movies like Dangal, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Sardar, MS Dhoni An unto ....

Chhalaang movie review
Chhalaang is another OTT original feature film release during the present Covid times and this time it's streaming on Amazon Prime. Lately we have been hearing such names like Chak-de, Dangal, Panga, which point to a desi flavour in tales of inspiration in sports. They are comparable to similar offerings in Hollywood of fight and motivation. Generally such stories are drawn form real life. As the name Chhalaang suggests this movie too deals with the same genre I.e. sports but the inspiration is from a hurt to the ego of one man as, the movie set out to be Montu's story of goof and love but there is a jump literally midway. It changes to a story of the underdog. Though everyone has their respective favourites in sports but one's heart surely goes out for the underdog. The movie is set in a quintessential town of Haryana in North India. Indians love their heroes in the field of sport ....

Speedy Singhs - movie review

The movie is a full action, colourful, humourous and a heart-felt musical. The setting is an obstacle-strewn love story with a dramatic quest for the hero. Speedy Singhs movie review... It is also a keenly observed cross-cultural drama in the same classification as Bend It Like Beckham and Slumdog Millionaire with the hero caught between a family's traditional expectations and a dream to make it big in the national sport of an adopted country.

Stand By - movie review
Stand By is about football and the central plot is that we have an Indian coach who aspires to make his team an international standards. Even this film has differences with the Indian sporting body and an effort to keep it purely on merits of the footballers and get politics out of the game. National award winning director Sanjay Surkar shows how the influence of powerful politicians plays a key role in a team selection and how the rich-kids or the influential ones get a chance to play, whereas the really talented guys slog it out to make a mark. Stand by is a story of two friends Rahul (Adhinath Kothare) and Shekar (Siddharth Kher), who play football for the state of Maharashtra. Their lives change as this beautiful game turns ugly and the fate of the footballers is no longer decided on merits. The thick friends share a common passion - football.
