Golondaaj is the story of Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikari, the daddy of Indian soccer. The movie shines mild on his life and the way he created a group of Indian footballers whom he pitted in opposition to the British. The group refused to bow to the prevalent caste discrimination and its face-off with the colonial masters went manner deeper than the game – it symbolized the colonial India taking over the mighty Empire in all its enormity and power.
The movie begins with the younger Nagendra having a thoughts of his personal and exhibiting a love for soccer from a really early age. Football then was the game of the English and Indians have been strictly prohibited from not solely enjoying the sport but in addition setting foot on the bottom.
How Nagendra grows as much as be a positive younger man along with his coronary heart beating for his nation, and makes a group out of a ragtag bunch that may beat the British varieties the crux of the story. There have been immense hurdles in his manner and even demise threats have been made however he refused to bow down.

The spotlight of the movie is actor Dev, who manages to carry the story collectively and offers a tasty efficiency.

Not to be missed are the particular ‘Dev moments’ – the roar, the run, — that are signatures of the actor. An attention-grabbing addition to the story is the revolutionary Bhargav, performed by Anirban Bhattacharya.
Not solely Dev and Anirban, the whole lot of actors, particularly the soccer group members, give an awesome efficiency. The story-telling can also be lucid however is hampered by pointless songs. The climax of the story is well worth the watch. The music of the movie by Bickram Ghosh deserves a particular point out. The solely disadvantage appears to be the size of the movie because it might have been rounded off in a lot lesser time.

While the movie undoubtedly reminds one in all ‘Lagaan’, it holds its personal due to its personal distinctive narrative. The choreography, artwork path and enhancing are price a point out too.
