Maidaan is, without doubt, one of the finest sports-based films made in India… Captivating second half, brilliant finale and an award-worthy act by AjayDevgn are its biggest strengths… Fitting tribute to TeamIndia and Coach SARahim by Team Maidaan… STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

On the whole, Maidaan has an extraordinary second half but a very ordinary first half. It will do well at the ticket counters on the strength of the fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable post-interval portion but it will miss being the blockbuster it could’ve been, because of the boring first half. Collections are bound to pick up phenomenally due to strong word of mouth.

Overall, ‘Maidaan’ is not without its flaws, but this underdog story makes you want to clap and cheer, and wipe away a proud tear.

Rahim, being the man he is, takes it all on the chin. The lead actor gets into the skin of the character without breaking a sweat. But the film is seldom that firm-footed. Maidaan tells an overlong, peppered-with-fiction narrative that struggles to balance the real and essential with its unabashed goal of working the audience up into a frenzy.

Maidaan is a must-watch on the big screen for the thrilling experience and outstanding storytelling. It truly emulates the dialogue in the movie, ‘Kismat haathon se nahi, paeron se likhi jaati hai,’ as the team puts its best foot forward with the stellar outing!

Bottomline: Maidaan deserves to be watched. The film brings back emotions that we once felt while watching Chak De! India. I assure you, you won’t leave the theatre without at least hooting once.

And then comes Devgn’s (Read Rahim) swag. He’s introduced not once but twice, and both the times, with a cigarette carefully placed in between his fingers. Some of his one-liners are instantly contagious. When the Indian football team suffers an embarrassing loss, he says- ‘Jab Ghar Ki Neev Kamzor Ho To Chath Badalne Ka Kya Fayda.’ The actor has made a career out of delivering delicious dialogues with all his nonchalance. And in the case of this film, Sharma and Shah opt for a restrained approach to tell a story filled with pathos and glory.

Maidaan is its truest when the real faces behind that historical win surface in their old glory. Too bad it’s the end of what could have been a beginning.

Overall, if you get past the slow-paced first half and some unnecessary scenes, Maidaan is an exciting sports drama. It ignites the sporting fervour within you as you cheer for Team India on the big screen. It’s important for the audience to know the story of Syed Ahmed Rahim, because of whom India won at the Asian Games.

Maidaan’ is not only a treat for football enthusiasts but also quite a delight for movie lovers. It immortalises the unsung hero, after whom India never qualified for the Olympics. Rahim, in one scene, says ‘Kismat haathon se nahi, pairon se likhi jaati hai (destiny is written by foot, not hands)’. While it was the truth back then, you realise in reality, luck favours the brave, and SA Rahim was truly Indian football’s Braveheart.
