Paan Singh Tomar is soldier in Indian army, where he is recognized as potential athlete and runner. Paan Singh rise as champion in 7 consecutives national award in steeplechase running. He represents India in 1958 Asian Games in Tokyo, Japan. After taking premature retirement from army, Paan Singh moved to his native village in Chambal Valley. He tries to raise his voice against the land feud happen against his family, but administration is not interested into what he has to say.
Then what happens tell the story…
Why a first class athlete forces to live the life of poverty… Why taken guns in his hand…
From gloriously life of winning athlete to a notorious dacoit with same poor life back at village home, director shows different world in same movie with genuinely. Irrfan Khan as Paan Singh Tomar given the very good performance which give genuine in story. It shows how winning athlete unable to change his fate, financial condition, and social status, and eventually forced to take gun in his hands. Cinematography is very good showing beauty of different locations in film. It shows sadness and thrills in the life of Paan Singh.
Good points of film are its good performances, direction, story, while bad points of film can be story does not show protagonist to genuinely enjoying any moment within the story.
It will be liked by fan of sports and raw crime movies.
Reviewer Verdict: It is a good to watch film.
