Shahid Kapoor was spitting fire Let me begin with 2019 Telugu version of this film. I saw that movie 3 years ago which turned out to be fantastic. The movie was like an emotion which stayed with me for all those 3 years until Shahid Kapoor's version came out. I watched it again. Even though, I knew the story, climax everything as I had already watched the Telugu version, still I was excited to relive this beautiful story even though I am not a Shahid Kapoor fan. This Hindi remake turned out to be fantastic for following reasons:
1. Shahid Kapoor's amazing acting.
2. Wonderful chemistry between Shahid and the kid who played Shahid's son which eventually turns out to be beautiful Father-Son relationship.
3. This movie teaches you that its never too late to start anything.
4. This movie teaches you how important your family is.
5. This movie teaches you that never tell anybody he can't do anything in life. Never ever.
Even though its a remake, what is wrong in watching and reliving the beautiful story in the form of different actors?
Pankaj Kapoor was also outstanding as a coach.
Cricket Matches screenplay was better than original version. Music is awesome. Background music is same as the original version.
There are so many fake reviews for this movie here who are blindly spreading hate towards it. Shahid Kapoor gave his heart out and he deserves standing ovation specially for that "Train Scene". It gave me goosebumps.
This movie won't do good at the box office because of following reason:
1. The south movies like KGF, RRR are domination the cinema.
2. Hate spreading against bollywood after SSR and some drug cases against bollywood actors.
3. Its a remake so some "trying to look cool" kind of people unnecessarily spreading hate towards it without even watching it.
If you are not a blind hater and have sense of appreciating good actors, do watch it, your hands will automatically go for a clap for Shahid.
Remember, not doing good at the box office or getting low ratings on imdb doesn't mean movie is bad. These days, most of the people are self claimed intellectuals who believe in hyping garbage.
