a simple hearth warming slice of life movie.

the movie is about the local football club manager (Soubin Shahir) and his relation with one of his players a Nigerian footballer (Samuel Abiola Robinson) who came to India to play in clubs to make money. upon a incident that causes Samuel to get injured and forced him to bed rest in to the managers house. now the manager has to make ends meet as well as take care of his star player.

the movie showcases the realistic life of such football club managers and its players, many of which come from far away places leaving their family behind so they can earn the money for the better live. this is what forms the emotional line of the story as Samuel love and effort of his family is seen by the manager gets him to open up and accept his step father.

my favourite part of this is the way the community reacts upon seeing a African amongst their mist, a scene where a couple come only to take selfie with injured Samuel was funny at the same time felt like something that would genuinely happen in our country.

a movie i would recommend for its simple and hearth warming premise.
