The Times of India gave it a 3.5-star rating. Their review said, 'The film mixes sentiment with spunk, avoiding overly preachy tones. ID (intellectual disabilities) is described through relatable lines like, 'Humaari kismat haathon pe nahi, chromosome pe likh ke aati hai (Our destiny isn't written on our palms — it's written in our chromosomes).' While the underdog sports narrative and troubled-coach arc feel familiar, the film's heart and humour keep it engaging. ' But it wasn't all glowing. They also pointed out, 'That said, the story does wander. Subplots involving his mother, Preeto (Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari), and their butler Daulatji (Bijendra Kala) contribute little to the core story. A few other sequences feel stretched, and pacing suffers in parts. The climax gets overly sentimental in parts. Some scenes, like the team managing airfare and accommodation for the final match, come across as convenient and trite. '

Gadkari Orders Spot-Wise Survey of Flood-Hit Areas, Seeks Report In Eight Days
1 2 Nagpur: In the wake of the rain that lashed Nagpur earlier this week, Union minister Nitin Gadkari directed the district administration to conduct a spot-wise assessment of the affected areas and submit a detailed report within eight days. In a high-level meeting at Niyojan Bhavan on Saturday to evaluate the rain-related situation and review various infrastructure projects, Gadkari took the administration to task over waterlogging reported across the city. Gadkari also expressed concern over the chaos caused by the downpour, which led to water entering homes in several low-lying localities, inconveniencing hundreds of residents. Sources said Gadkari again directed the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) to strengthen the city's stormwater drainage system, particularly in low-lying areas that were severely affected by recent rain. A key suggestion that emerged was to develop "stock model drains" in vulnerable low-lying zones to reduce waterlogging. Officials claimed that the flooding in Besa-Beltarodi and Manish Nagar was caused due to illegal constructions. Gadkari instructed officials to demolish unauthorized structures. MLA Khopde raised concerns about the situation in the Pardi area, while MLA Pravin Datke highlighted flooding near Metro stations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse?
