Every grey shade in the movie is given conclusion which is hilarious. Screenplay moves without any annoying stoppages which happens in films that are spread over a big span of time. The conversations and the way some characters express themselves is written beautifully and they were captured without loosing the life in it.

He has tried to keep things visually real.

In the making, Abrid Shine has handled the movie superbly. Jacob Gregory delivered yet another memorable performance as Sachin from Mumbai. The friends played by Saiju Kurup, Sanjay Shivram, Dinesh, Neeraj, Nandan and a few more were spot on. Srinda Ashab deserves a pat on the back for her acting. Joy Mathew did well as the orthodox father. The actor cannot be called as a versatile performer but his natural style was really apt for the character of Vijay Menon. The best example of perfect casting in my view was Anoop Menon’s character. Nikki Galrani’s dubbing was slightly disturbing. Acting part was also really good from him. Nivin Pauly starts of Rameshan at 15 and the movie ends where he is 40 and you will never feel that the make up did it ( Gods gift – Something Dhanush did in Ranjhanaa). The tempo of the second half is rightly slow but still there was enough to enlighten and entertain.īefore I appreciate the actors a special round of applauds for the casting team who just picked the best possible actors for the roles. The chemistry between the friends were absolutely delightful and in the second half also we can see the same character with required maturity. The gradual make over of each character ( almost 25 years) was shown quite brilliantly.From the goofy wife to the profession of the Rameshan’s father, the screenplay skillfully stitches every element it created in the story. Such kind of twists in the plot increases the humor and at the same time keeps the movie in a much real terrain. Even the slightly cheesy love failure is given a humor cover by introducing a traditional marriage. Abrid Shine has managed to capture those lighthearted deep rooted friendships very smartly and that really sets the things in motion for the Tendulkar tribute. Personally I found Rameshan and his friends circle very real, mostly because of childhood memories where I have seen such friendships. The film basically narrates these events and also how Rameshan manages to continue that passion even after so many obstacles on his way ahead. He has spoiled his education because of his love for it, he was scolded for that love and he even lost his “love” because of this particular passion. From the young age, cricket is something he is passionate about. Film is actually the journey of Rameshan.
