Bollywood Crazies Opinion: The heart of the story is at the right place and that’s why this film connects with you instantly. In the start of this film, the makers have clearly mentioned that this film is a tribute to all the female athletes in India. Now talking about the performance, Taapsee Pannu did give a strong performance after Thappad movie (2020). The first 30 minutes of the screenplay looks interesting but after that it looses grip to quite a time throughout the film. The ordeal that a female player goes through gender test has been well portrayed by Taapsee. The second half revolves around Rashmi who fights her case against IAA. This film is more than just a sports drama. Taapsee looks good in this film as an athlete but she should have worked on her dialect, which could have given more weight-age to the story. Still, the director will keep you hooked till the last minute in this sports drama. The chemistry of Taapsee and Priyanshu have also maturely shown in this film. The overall making of this film is decent enough for a one time watch.
