This movie has weak storyline that defies logic (not that all movies are logical). Actors have overacted. Perhaps the movie leaned too much on cricket to salvage the second half.. Probably making it in a short movie would have worked. Rani Mukherjee did looked like a delicate version of Harbhajan Singh, an Indian cricket player.. At times there were dying sparks of her acting in the movie but those moments were short lived.. The movie failed to have a grip after first 40 minutes or so.
It is meant to be a light movie. Yashraj banner has produced good movies like Chandani and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. This movie does not reach those standards. A little bit more about the Veer Pratap Singh while playing cricket would have been great. Also, this idea of using cricket or hockey teams in the movie has become slightly stale after the great movies like Chuk de India and Lagaan. Wish this movie lived up to expectations of a movie directed by Aditya CHopra.
