Why our new-age bollywood directors are wasting the best talent in the market? Bomen Irani – extremely talented actor of “lets talk” and “Munnabhai”, Arshad warsi – young and flexible actor of “Sehar”, “Munnabhai” and “Aisa Bhi hota hai”, John Abraham – hot cake of bollywood, who has credit of “water” and “Taxi no.9211” and Bipasha basu – glam doll once proved that she can act in Madhur bandarkar’s slow and steady movie “Corporate”.
I rather wish they could have act in their hits sequels like “Lets talk2”, “Sehar-2”, “Taxi no.9211-2” and “Corporate2” than Goal.
Goal gives more promises because of its sports theme, bunch of talented actors. After the stupendous success of “Chak De India” bollywood is experimenting with sports theme. Goal is the first release in this category. After watching Goal, I would scream, “Wake up bollywood!! Its time to search for good script.”
Goal is about a football club of Asians, which struggles to win a football championship in England. Arshad plays the captain role, who runs an Indian restaurant with his wife. This team has a football ground on lease. Except ground they doesn’t have any passion towards the game. This team has been playing in England from 25 years without a single win!!! When municipal council put condition that they should pay due of 3 lakh Pounds or to leave ground, the entire team fights to win the prestigious football championship!! What an inspiration? They hire a failure player as a coach (Bomen) unfortunately he is not convincing. John comes into picture when club in need of good striker. He is best player, who wish to join the team only after rejected from other team because of his colour. At last as expected or as per unwritten law of bollywood, the underdogs become superheroes.
The director loses the grip over the script from the beginning. The way he shows the players and game is awkward. At least he could have get help from real football player to choreograph the game scenes. In some important game scene John ask Arshad to pass the ball; it seems a small boy crying for ice cream. John you should watch at least three world cup matches to understand the players body language. Making a sports movie is not a child play guys! Bipasha character doesn’t add any charm to film. She simply smiles & says 2 dialogues, there ends the scene. I think Bipasha is not at all must for that character. Any girl from bollywood can do that role. Music and cinematography is not supportive for this flick. As I read in newspaper that John was happy by the overwhelming response to the film. In premier show no one say bad about film John!!! Goal force us to go back to “Chak De India” and shows how a sports movie should not be.
