    Fantastic movie! Great story plot about the perservance of young women in sports: field hockey. Shahrukh Khan is phenomenal in this movie. Awesome music. Definitely worthy.

Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

David Chute, L.A. Weekly

Maitland McDonagh, Film Journal International

Director Shimit Amin and his cast bring considerable conviction to familiar characters and situations. Full Review
