A theme based on sports, something as indigenous as Kabadi, itself sounds interesting. The basic plot was the familiar ‘rag-tag underdog’ team scripting a fantasy victory lead by a shrewd coach. The narration was like a whiff of fresh air. The actors seemed to have been handpicked from the villages to play characters that reflected real life. Humor was natural, warm and carried the rural charm. The love story was only an undercurrent, never overtaking the real theme.
