Let me try to keep it very objective:
What works:
1. Title song. Nice catchy tune and good lyrics.
2. ManUnited dressing room and views from Old Trafford stadium.
3. N/A
What does not work:
1. Story (or the absence of it).
2. Shoddy camera work (it's slow and dull. Frames do not have continuity. Watch anyone play FIFA 2005, you will get to see better action)
3. Obsessively chauvinistic south Asian references. (Mr Chocolate man - there is more to game than racism.)
4. No characters. A football movie can not be made with just 2 players. I would like to ask the directory if he actually thought even name of the 16 players. They are just no-one.
5. Side stories. Bipasha-john romance, Arshad-wife's fights, Sardar's wife, John's mom - too many untold stories. They pop up from nowhere and just make it worse.
6. Songs - Pathetic pathetic pathetic...
It is more boring that watching a goal less draw in Durand Cup.
I really don't think this movie was made to bask on glory of Chak De India. Aug 10th to Nov 23rd is too less a time to make a movie in bollywood. But may be it is the case, the product has no quality.
Avoid yaar.
ps: My worst disappointment with this movie is the fact that AK has written dialogue for it. It's disappointing stuff AK. You certainly can do much better than this.
