"Budhia still wishes to run. All he needs is a Biranchi."

A true masterpiece.

Brilliant music, fabulous direction, and top class acting by Manoj Bajpai add seven stars to the movie.

A very exquisite piece of acting by Manoj Bajpai and Mayur Patole playing their respective roles.Beautifully directed by Soumendra Padhi.

Probably India's best sports movie ever made.
