I like the way the movie describes about hockey and politics run behind a sport. Hockey has been a underrated game in India for decades. So, we really should appreciate & encourage such movie makers.
That song 'Sagame telisina abhimanyudu
Ani sambarapadavaddhuraa
Padmavyuham chedhin chagalige
Arjunudu veeduraa
Kyaa re yadhi settingaa leka
Bhayapadi meeroka sweatingaa
Edu kondalu mokkingaa
Aata joosthe meeku seatu siragadha' is just lit & it's why many north Indians support south Indian cinema rather than bollywood.
The thing I didn't like is there are lots of game mistakes in the movie. Such as rising the ball too high. In hockey, rising ball over player's shoulder is deemed to be dangerous & given free stroke. Ball shouldn't not be raised over 18' inches from field in corner strikes. But, there's a false depreciation of gameplay in the movie shown as heroic. Also, ball cannot be striked in mid-air & ball needs to be positioned to field before forwarding.
Let's make hockey popular again.
