Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan movie review

Jaipur, April 09, 2024.Ajay Devgn plays Syed Abdul Rahim with a patent sincerity and only a hint of the slo-mo swagger. His rag-tag team has the kind of composition so syncretic that it makes you ache with nostalgia.It takes a village to raise a child. And it takes a country to create a cracking team capable of beating the best in the world. The inspiring real-life story of Syed Abdul Rahim, pioneering football coach and manager under whose watch India won two gold medals, one each in the Asian Games of 1951 and 1962, .Just for bringing to life a now sadly-forgotten figure who galvanised a young team to do its best against such formidable Asian foes as Indonesia and S Korea, the ‘Maidaan’ team deserves major props. It is football, in which India hasn’t been able to make an inte...
