The review
Why it makes the Top 2: That the finest Hindi film of the year is one of the least expensive is enough to fill aspiring directors with great hope.
Sport film clichés abound, but startling performances all around and great discretion from Kukunoor make sure the movie is an inevitably pleasurable watch.
