Charan Follows a familiar trope of a sports redemption movie and hits all the right notes but Chakde India was much better in my opinion. A decent watch!

As a sports enthusiast and an Indian football follower, I went with certain expectations to the cine hall and found it to be jam packed on a weekend evening. The footballing actions were very well shot and the houseful crowd in the hall as well as the stadium on screen appeared to cheer every move, every save and every goal aided with able background music from Mr. Rehman. By the end of it, it was 'paisa wasool and more' for me as three hours whizzed past, I was satisfied and glad that at least the uninitiated got to know the story, our scorelines, and that those comebacks were not actually fictional... But then in the coming weeks I heard it was not doing that well and surviving only due to lack of any alternative blockbuster running in the theatres and therefore tried to dissect the reason. The main reason I felt was that they couldn't really build the emotional connect in a movie as long as three hours. Despite good background scores, the songs could have been better. People though cheered the footballing action, nobody was teary eyed with the sad outcome involving Rahim Sir's health. The question then I asked myself was what would one get, who is not interested in football in particular, out of this movie ?? The creators failed to answer that to adequacy out of whatever they tried to portray, neither with Rahim Sir's family connect nor the player connects, and federation politics was just limited to two antagonists. They worked hard for the film assembling a cast who could look similar to our footballing heroes of that era, spent on locations, cinematography and the aesthetics part of it, but somewhere failed to deliver a wholesome entertainer unlike may be a fictional 'Chak De' or a real life sports drama 'Bhag Milkha Bhag', but was still a good attempt to bring Indian football's golden history to the fore.
