Rating: 4 Star 

A Well made Biopic on the revolutionary football coach S.A Rahim, the film is on point and covers each and every happening in and around the Coach and the football teams life , the politics , the struggle , the humiliation , the victory and personal struggle everything is seamlessly presented on screen , the direction is great , actors have put on tremendous effort to bring out raw acting on screen . Ajay Devgn as the Coach Shines throughout an has brought emotions rightly on screen , Gajraj Rao as the ruthless Journalist has also done great job , rest follows the ensemble cast who all together have delivered the best . What somewhere fails for the film is its length, the editing could have been crisp , lot of scenes could have been ommited , at parts the film feels boring specially towards the begining , if the film could have been wrapped within 2:20 mins or 2:30 mins instead of 3 hours it could have been much better experience . Overall this is a niche film , and its very sad to see such films with merit not doing well at the box office recently . All and all it was a lovely movie , showcases the golden era of football in India and the massive win in 1962 Asian Games . Its a recommended watch , a meaningful and inspiring biopic .
