Anwar Says: Through out the movie, I was comparing every sequence with Chak De, India and I may conclude that Chak De was epitome of Period Sports Drama . However, Maidan would be remembered for its cinematography particularly the match scenes, background score of A R Rahman, it's VFX and of course Ajay Devgun embodying the S A Rahim's character, the coach who had given the only glory to Indian Football.
The other aspect of the movie I liked the way the badmen duo , the sports journalist and IFF President, played superbly by Gajanan Rao and Rudranil Ghosh , putting all sorts of hindrances and advocating regionalism in sports and succeeded in eliminating Rahim for certain period. Great to see young PK Banerjee, Chunni Goswami, Jarnail Singh and Peter Thangraj, about him we read in Black & White only. Priyamani , as Rahim's wife, is a terrific actor but very less exploited by the director Amit Ravindernath Sharma( Badhai Ho fame).
But I predict that the movie won't be a hit like Chak De, Dangal or MSD as Sharma ji has dragged it to 3 hours and 3 minutes and the first half is boring on certain moments. Two commentators on AIR are irritating. Still thanks to Boney Kapoor, who must have put huge money on an unsung hero of Indian Sports, hope he recovers his money.
