The story has no potential, so even if they would have tried hard, it wouldn't have performed well. The last message which appears just before the credits of the movie 'believe in your dreams, because they do come true' is really good. Director tried to give that message but failed significantly, I think that's the reason they typed the message so there is no confusion. The songs are nice but the background music is very poor. They used extremely beautiful 'wolf and the moon' as a BGM in some scenes but the scene has no potential so it doesn't deserve that peach. Sometimes BGM is so poor that you will feel like you are not watching any movie but watching a low-budget Indian TV serial.
Color grading is very poor. They simply shouldn't have graded the scene instead of grading and making it look fake. Editor sometimes got over creative and sometimes did a very poor job. The first half of the movie is 'Lagaan' fast-forwarded and in the second half characters are slightly molded so that they can start the movie 'Dangal'. But they wanted to do something different so added a small plot twist which doesn't make any sense, but it is there for some reason. And then again they continued the movie 'Dangal'.
Characters are not at all developed. They are reacting to the situation in such a way that the music director can play one of his poorly designed over-dramatic music. It feels like the scriptwriters kept in mind that overdramatic music will play in the background so no need to make scenes exciting. Characters have no want. Sometimes they overreact to make it dramatic, sometimes they react completely out of character.
The cameraman too did a bad job. He is using TikTok effects to add swag. Movie and youtube/TikTok videography has different camera movements and putting unnecessary swag in a movie looks bad. Acting performance is not good either. But the story itself was flying from one dead end to another, so it just makes everyone's efforts look bad.
The story is about one guy who wants to be a cricketer and thus begins the movie 'Lagaan', but he was not able to because of some unnatural reason. So now he wants his son to become a cricketer and thus begins the movie 'Dangal'. That's all is the story. They could have shown our heroes struggle to become cricketer, but he already is champion and played the 'Lagaan'. His cricket career didn't destroy because he made any mistake but some evil person did some mischief with him which not at all make sense, as the villain is also not developed, so it is unclear what he exactly wants. The movie's last printed message is beautiful but how it justifies the story is unclear. Father saw a dream, and he was not able to make it, so now he saw another dream and which his daughter will fulfill. So neither title goes with the story, nor the last message.
In conclusion, I don't think this movie is worth watching. But if you are a fan of Swapnil or recap those two movies or want some little bit of over-dram, you can watch it.
