Before I saw the movie, I had read somewhere that this movie is somewhat like Chak De. My God!!! Who the hell did even think of making this comparison. Its like comparing
When I went in to see Chak De, I thought that I would not like the movie as it was about hockey and I am no big fan of hockey. In fact, I have not seen even one hockey match completely. But the movie script, direction, and SRK made the movie such a fun that I never felt that I was watching a movie based on hockey. So when I went on to watch Goal, I unfortunately had a similar pre-notion in my mind. And as compared to hockey, I love football much more. But this movie was so badly directed that I felt that I would have rather watched some pakaau football clubs playing rather than watching this piece of shit. Yeah, in this movie, except for Boman Irani, nothing else was up to the mark. Arshad Warsi, John Abraham, Bipasha, everyone could have done a better acting (I agree that the director did not give them a platform for giving a memorable performance… but still!!!)
Even the final match that they showed was also so predictable. All the matches were more of a filler than being the actual part of the movie. And even if the team won the last match, the feel that the team has been transformed from an ever-losing team to becoming the champions was never felt. And that was where the movie lacked punch. Even a person who knows nothing about football can make that out.
Well I would suggest that if you don’t have anything else to do and don’t have literally anything to do and have a lot of money to waste, then go watch the movie. Otherwise its not worth a ticket of multiplexes.
