Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal- A Quick Review

Yes I know its too late to review a movie like Goal.My apologies for the same.Nevertheless I still have to do my duty.Goal is Vivek Agnihotri's next attempt after Chocolate & too things are quite obvious to the viewer while watching Goal- one Vivek continues to be fond of foreign subjects & two-the movie does try to cash in on the gains of a sports movie like Chak De India ( no harm in that though).

Goal is a football movie- a tale of a U.K based club ( Southall United Football Club) which comprises of make shift players of Indian,Pakistani & Bangladeshi origin.Arashad Warsi is the captain of the team & when the club faces the threat of having to move out of their bastion, they are left with no option but to win the English Premier League & stay put !!!

So Arshad first manages to get the coach-Boman Irani who once played for the same team & has a troubled past.John Abraham is an Indian who wants to make it big as a British Soccer player.But when he does not get his due outside, Boman convinces him to join their team.Inspite of Arshad's apprehensions & their regular rivalry the team unites,improves & plays well.

Of course there is the usual twist in the plot which leads to the grand finale- the final match being played in a grand fashion.And of course no prizes for guessing the end.Well so you want to know whats Bipasha doing in the movie?Well she's the physio of the team & Arshad's sister who likes John.

Overall a decent movie, lets face it.But its not a Chak De or an Iqbal.John is decent, while Boman & Arshad are just ok.Raj Zutshi does well among the others.Music is average with only 2 songs in the movie.Overall the producers UTV have made a profit on the movie as they sold it at a reasonable price.

Rating-2/5

One month without movies? From you, that's impossible, so I'll settle for less outrageous explanations. Now you have hajaar reviewing to do!!
