Show more >> Sesham Mike-il Fathima has its heart in the right place but struggles to fully captivate. The story of Fathima’s ambition to become a football commentator is inspiring, but I found the pacing a bit uneven. While the lead delivers a commendable performance, some supporting characters felt underdeveloped, leaving me wanting more depth in their arcs. The film does a good job of addressing gender stereotypes in sports, but at times it felt like it was playing it safe rather than pushing boundaries. The cinematography is vibrant, and the football scenes are engaging, but I wished for a bit more emotional punch. It’s a decent watch, especially for sports fans, but it may not leave a lasting impression. Show less
