The CinePearl Take
Vineet Kumar Singh carries the film with a raw, physicality that makes every punch feel personal, while Jimmy Shergill adds a nuanced layer of institutional cynicism. Kashyap’s pacing can wobble in the middle act, but the climactic showdown restores momentum and emotional payoff. The movie’s biggest strength is its willingness to expose the brutal intersection of sport and social hierarchy without resorting to melodrama.
