In reality, human beings are flawed, but everything in Prajesh Sen’s film is to too perfect to be true. The pre-climax portion is probably the best part of the film, but even that comes after a long wait.Ī biography should have an element of realism which helps viewers connect with the central character. There are some beautiful scenes, no doubt, but they adversely affect the film by showing us how flawed the rest of it is. This feels like a great loss considering Jayasurya’s incredible performance. Where is the progression of a player who was once the crown jewel of football? By choosing to move between the past and present, the director doesn’t show an organic change in the character. The following scene with newspaper clippings announcing Sathyan’s death is an overkill. By showing this to audience in the beginning, the director makes it clear that the film is not a happy one. The life changing moment when Sathyan’s fails to hit the goal in a penalty shot was one of the few scenes that makes you gasp in horror. It is this that keeps audience from investing themselves in the story although Sathyan’s life is a tragic story with enough highs and lows. The scene where Sathyan sees the letters and recalls everything that he had written to his newly married wife makes sense, but lacks substance. The moving back and forth in the narrative doesn’t have proper connect, leaving us confused. The addition of a police officer who tortured Sathyan with demeaning punishments made us wonder if there was a rule book that the director was following for success. With the shot of her pointing at a Boost advertisement of cricket icons Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar, and calling them the Indian team, he shows us the mentality of people in the country about any sport other than cricket. The scene of him icing his injured leg, living with unbearable pain must have tugged at us to feel pity, but it doesn’t go that deep.Īs the story of Sathyan unfolds, it looks like the writer had a checklist and ticked it off every scene he added, beginning with how VP Sathyan’s wife, Anitha (Anu Sithara) liked cricket over football. There are shots that show Jayasurya’s face as the character seethes in pain, but we don’t feel the connect. Everything is orchestrated to look like it has depth. While the expectation of this shot would have been to get the audience to ‘feel’ the moment, it is hardly organic. Of course, the kick and tap are shown in slow motion. His decision is shown in a symbolic manner as he kicks his football to turn the fan on and the camera stays rooted on his face.

In trying to impress on the fact that this is an important scene, the camera is set on a top angle and captures expression through the fan. For instance, there is this epiphanic moment in Sathyan’s life where he needs to decide whether to give up his life for one game or give up the game for a flourishing life. This isn't the first time Tiger has dropped a shirtless beach picture on his feed.As we see Sathyan’s life flip back and forth between 19, we see that the director has tried to wring out every emotional moment that is worth in his life. One can't take their eyes off his perfect jawline. Recently the actor had shared pictures of his close up shots on his social media feed. One of the fans wrote, 'dashing look', Another commented, 'Hottie with fire emojis.' While Disha Patani dropped a fire emojis on his post. Krishna Shroff wrote, "Superhuman genetics + hard work every single dayyy.

Needless to say, the first ones to comment were Tiger's sister Krishna Shroff and Disha Patani. Scores of Tiger’s fans and his friends commented on Tiger’s picture. The ever handsome Tiger also gave his fans a glimpse of the beautiful beach view. Tiger in the snap looked away from the camera that gave a perfect candid shot. Keeping it apt with the beach ensemble, he wore a pair of cool aviators.

The actor opted for causal beachwear, and he wore a printed red and black shorts. In the sunkissed shirtless picture, Tiger was seen flaunting his well-toned body and washboard abs.
