Soorma Movie Review

Soorma Movie Review:

How do you overcome a setback, a dark one which leaves you physically devastated? Either you sit back cry over what happened or comeback like a king to take what is yours like a warrior. Soorma aka warrior is a tale of determination, setback, commitment and triumphant comeback. Soorma is a biopic based on the life of Indian hockey player Sandeep Singh also known as Flicker Singh.

Sandeep played by Diljit Dosanjh is rather timid while his brother Bikramjeet played by Angad Bedi is responsible and hardworking which gets him becomes a good Hockey player. Sandeep keeps on lingering with his friend carefree, until Harpreet (Tapsee Pannu) comes into his life. Mastering a rare hockey technique called “Drag Flick” earns him a position in Indian National team. But in one unfortunate event his life comes tumbling down nearly causing him his life. After several trials and tribulations, Sandeep keeps the warrior spirit alive and fights back snatching his position back in Indian Hockey team.

Soorma is a tale of greatest comeback in sports history, defeating physical disability and prejudice. Diljit Dosanjh and Tapsee are great but the supporting cast of Angad Bedi, Vijay Raaz and Satish Kaushik are amazing. The relationship between two brothers and few moments they share are pleasing. Screenplay is however problematic, the movie does not entirely keeps you glued to the screen. The story focused more on the romantic relationship of Diljit and Tapsee rather than the core story. If you are expecting something like Chak de India then you will be disappointed. Those adrenaline filled games, nail biting climax and the emotional expenditure these factors are missing in Soorma. Movie could have been a great biopic but fails in different parts. Overall Soorma is a good watch, watch it for the inspirational journey of Sandeep Singh.
