Satarupa Basu

in The Indian Express

The highlight of the film is actor Dev, who manages to hold the story together and gives a delectable performance. He has matured and his Bengali pronunciation, for which he had faced criticism in the past, is quite improved now. Not to be missed are the special ‘Dev moments’ – the roar, the run, — which are signatures of the actor. An interesting addition to the story is the revolutionary Bhargav, played by Anirban Bhattacharya. Not only Dev and Anirban, the entire lot of actors, especially the football team members, give a great performance. The story-telling is also lucid but is hampered by unnecessary songs. The climax of the story is worth the watch. The music of the film by Bickram Ghosh deserves a special mention. The only drawback seems to be the length of the film as it could have been rounded off in much lesser time.
