Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal

Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal is the first film in India based on football. The movie was directed by Vivek Agnihothri of the Chocolate fame. Actually the director's real goal was not football but it was a part of the screen play. He tried to show the racist attitudes against the South Asians who are living in Europe.

England was the setting for the film. Southall United is a football club. All the players in the team are South Asians. This club has lots of problems as it lacks good players, a coach and sponsors which are a big part of a game. The city council asks them to handover their ground, because the club has failed to clear the taxes and lease.


The only way to solve this problem is to win the counties league. Southall United captain Shaan Ali Khan (Arshad Warsi) takes this as a challenge. Tony Singh (Boman Irani), an ex-player of the club takes the responsibility to coach the team. He invites a South Asian Sunny (John Abraham) to Southall United, who is playing for another club Aston.

Sunny first rejects this offer. When he loses his place in Aston because of racial discrimination, he joins the Southall club. Many of Southall club members reject him. But he concentrates only on the game and takes the team to the semi finals. At that stage he leaves the team as he recieves a better offer.


But he realizes that he made a mistake when he learns that his father was a former captain for Southall who gets beaten up by some Europeans after he plays them. It will be Tony Singh who would have saved him.

The director has concentrated mostly on the football game than his original line. But he has failed to give full justice to the game. John Abraham failed to impress. Arshad Warsi has given his best but did not suit the role. Nothing to say about Bipasha Basu. Bomani Irani performed his role well.

Javed Akthar's lyrics were good but failed because of lack of good music from Pritam. Camera work by Attar Singh Saini was excellent.
