Shah Rukh acting is outstanding. Without a heroine and in a deglamorised character, he has given his best.Vidya Malvade , Anaitha Nair,Sagariga Ghatge and,Chitrashi Rawat were starred in a part of Hockey team.Direction was excellent especially in the hockey matches which were given a live feel. Music by the Merchant duo Saleem Merchant and Suleman Merchant is excellent.
