Backdrop of the film is sports. The film deals with the
game of Cricket. Antagonism for World Cupp 2011, Indian
team is going on and teams from different countries are
participating. One of the very strong players is Ravi
Indulkar from India.
In the end of the last decade of the 20th century, a
slow but sure dispute between the gangsters created
roughness in the underworld.
.
The coach once again gives chance to Ravi and his four
teammates after proving their patriotism to play for
World Cupp 2011. Once again India faces its arch rival
Pakistan in the final.
Everyone has a doubt in their mind and as we know
history repeats itself. King of bookies Shobhan once
again tries to fix the match with the help of Ravi. This
time Ravi refuses his offer, in retaliation he kidnaps
Ravi's girlfriend Soha who is a Physiotherapist of
Indian cricket team. As soon as Ravi comes to know about
Soha's kidnapping, he informs the home minister who then
puts an encounter specialist on this job. The encounter
specialist rescues Soha at the risk to his life. On the
other hand Ravi is struggling to win the World Cupp
2011.
A nice thing about this film is its decent intention
with which it is made to uncover the invisible racket of
match fixing. Unlike as in the film ‘Jannat’ where the
subject was taken up in a commercial angle, there is a
sincere attempt by Ravi Kapoor who goes deeper into the
core of the issue which degrades the game of cricket in
India.

 Some very high profile
people and businessmen were extorted, but the media
covered these news extensively and the government took a
strict action against the underworld.
And the braking impact was created when home minister
R.R. Patil completely banned the dance bars in Mumbai. In such conditions when circumstances were not so good.
Then underworld centralized attention on sports as a
source of making money, and they aimed the most glamorous
game - Cricket.
Ravi Kapoor is playing the main lead as Captain Ravi
Indulkar of the Indian Cricket Team. His four friends
Rajpal, Hiten, Irfan and Balwinder, they fix a World Cupp
Match held in 2009 against Pakistan with a bookie -
Shobhan.
And then the twist as always, they are exposed by press
reporter Balakrishnan. BICI bans the caoptain Ravi
Indulkar and his four teammates for four years. Ravi's
girlfriend Soha (Manisha Chatterjee) also leaves him
because of his deeds, and in the meanwhile Ravi also loses
his dad.
Something not seen in Hindi
films before, there are number of names taken in the film
which resemble many real life characters that were in the
news when the Indian team was passing through a
disgraceful patch. Also more, we have a Bengali and a Sikh
team member indicating resemblance to our dada and Bhajji.
One thing more, it seems some serious ground work is done
by the script writers on the finer details of the game.
About the performances, the lead actor-writer-director
with a chocolate face - Ravi Kapoor is okay for his first
film. Manisha Chatterjee, as his love interest, is just
good looking and average in performance. Prem Chopra,
Suresh Oberoi and Zakhir Hussain are fine.
