Bollywood's First of its kind.......Perfection Personified

Aha..Finally Bollywood has a full fledged sports movie.This one is a worth watch for every movie lover.This is a very well made movie with nothing unnecessary being added.

I being a SRK fan love to see him in any role but these are the kinds of role which brings the real actor out of him, Swades being another example.

Role of a coach is perfectly portrayed by SRK.He is the most energetic actor around and he has put it all into it.The story of this movie moves very subtly nd augments the excitement every next second.

For a country like India with its national game as hockey this movie was long awaited for.Finally, when it has arrived,it hasn't disappointed.It has also indirectly displayed the crippled Indian sports system which needs much improvement.Lets hope concerned people learn something from it.This movie can really do wonders for the next generation of aspiring hockey players.

This movie is entertaining,insightful,inspiring and yet very simple which is its greatness.This movie succeeds in bringing out tears,making audience laugh and letting the adrenaline flow at full pace.

The cinematography and editing was too good.They succeeded in capturing each moment with its full emotion.

The director has treated the subject extremely well and has brought 100% from all the new actors.The character selection was spot on too. SRK and all others rocked!!!! All in all 10/10 nothing less for this one!
