Right place right time around I-day

Once again it is proved that patriotism is the weak point for Indians.
Indians want to see movies with patriotism thrust in it. This actually proves the thing that the movie has left the box office ticking. The Director and the Production house has capitalized on this theory and of course the rivalry between India and Australia. If it would have been a movie released a few years back the final would have been between India and Pakistan.
Okay lets see what we can say about the movie, storyline not a new one (except for the hockey), though some say it is. Screenplay is quite predictable. Now what , let's take the acting, it is not good though we didn't expected much from the new comers but some scenes needed retake.
Let's talk about Preeti Sabarwal (some Ghatge), her expression is not more than a log of wood and in spite of that she is given a role that stands apart from the crowd (bad choice of actress for this role).
Chautala and Naik are good from the point of acting fro their respective parts. Few dialogues are weak and somewhat stretched.
I think I am being a bit harsh on the movie but of course some thums up are there like the cinematography which is I think the primary thing that may attract the crowd to the theatres as it can be best appreciated on a big screen. Of course the sound effect is terrific eg. nice sound with ball striking the stick or the board of the goal and the background score.
One thing is not predictable in the movie is the Mc Donald scene which is good I think.
All in all okie tokie types.
