This is a movie about dreams that has a strong message throughout the whole movie. It does not disappoint for a second. Everyone has dreams that they want to fulfill, but there are always obstacles nonetheless. Gattu, too faces these obstacles.
The story: Gattu is an amazing fast bowler who in his days could get the wicket faster than you can say "wicket". He could not fulfill his career opportunities due to his dad. Ek adhoore sapna re gaya. Watch this movie to see how the story unveils.
Casting: Males: Akshay Kumar is the show stealer. He made every scene worth the while. The tears were genuine as if it was his story and that was heart warming. Rishi Kapoor was a delight to see as Akshay's father. He did an outstanding job as the strict "my way or no way" dad. Armaan Kirmani did justice to the role as the brother. In the beginning scenes where his wife tells him not to help Gattu because one servant is enough, the look Akshay and Armaan gave each other was perfect and genuine. The typical reaction to a real life situation.
Females: Dimple Kapadia's role as the mother was heart melting. The scenes with Gattu were simply amazing. Gattu/Mom hospital scene was one of the show stealers. Anushka Sharma was simply great with the enthusiastic friend.
The others: The rest of the family lost all respect for Gattu for not speaking against their father. I found that a bit annoying. Gattu had only one option, they needed to understand that. When they respected them, it was only after he played again. The family came off as selfish. But that is expected from a strict dad run family.
Music: The album is amazing. Laung De Lashkara and Kyun Main Jagoon stand out the most, while the picturing of Rola Pe Gaya was simply brilliant where they go from a modern generation to that of the older generation, showing the major gap and differences. The differences sadly show how things will never be the same, but still a great song.
This movie can be watched over and over. It was simply amazing. This can surely be added to Akshay Kumars amazing movies that will never get old.
Overall: 10/10
