This is in addition to the age old mindsets that they need to fight within their own minds. What it highlights most is the lack of ‘team work or team spirit’ that is grossly missing in our education system. We are trained to be individual performers, where we have to fight against everyone around us. It never taught us that ‘battles can be won together too’. We are trained to hold on to our positions as we think only in terms of ‘me’ rather than ‘we’; we find it difficult to see the big picture.
Though reviews are reading a lot of messages in the movie, my biggest message is our need to work as teams rather than individuals and our ability to think big and ask ‘If anyone in the world can do it, why not me / us?’
The film is well made, with each character perfectly etched out. Each character highlights an issue that plagues the sports world and defines our attitude towards teamwork in general. All the girls look genuinely from where the character belongs to. It is said that lot of them did not know the acting skills, but I could not see the lack of it. Shahrukh is brilliant and he is just one in the team of 18 people, and never even once there is an attempt to overshadow any of the other characters. Without any popular Hindi film formulas, this film keeps you gripped for the whole three hour duration. A must watch.
