"Play Cricket or Tennis in this Country, cause boxing has no future," says Dharmendra and echoes well the pathos of this country when it comes to encouraging people who pursue sports. Few of the songs are catchy but on the whole it's a Deol family show and the family bonds show on screen as it does off screen. Always good to have a Victor Banarjee there. Shilpa Shetty as the Bahu plays her part OK, Kiron Kher as the wife is good as always and Katrina is subdued and around. The movie is a break from regular romance and love triangles.
The plot weaves a script around these family relationships which at times are tedious but do have their strong moments. At one end is his strained relationship with the elder son Angad (Sunny Deol) who quits boxing since the sport does not support a family and goes for greener pastures, at the other is his rockstar son Karan (Bobby) who aspires to fulfill his fathers dreams. Its Dharmendra's show all over as he puts up a sensitive portrayal of trying to win back his honour by coaching the first prospective heavy weight boxing champion for the country.
That's Dharmendra for you as ex-boxer Baldev Singh who struggles to meet life after being banned from the sport despite winning a silver medal for India in the Olympics. Once in a while they shine with brilliance, just as a reminder that they are very much around.
