Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Power and ambition drive every scene.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 14 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Rameshan, who has great love for cricket, fails to become a cricketer in his life. However, he tries to fulfil his dreams through his son when he realises that the child too has a passion for it.
