Maidaan
U/A: Sports, drama
Dir: Amit Ravindernath Sharma
Cast: Ajay Devgn, Gajraj Rao
Rating: 2/5

I guess we know why people say, “Shot like a dream,” for a film that’s shot well. What’s a movie, if not a dream, no? Maidaan is similarly stunning to look at. Unsure about IMAX, that the film is also available in, the aesthetics certainly match the size of the big screen. 

Especially once you consider that it’s a movie about sports, after all—shooting and cutting/editing of which is a specialised skill in itself. Soccer on TV doesn’t look the same. Because it’s relayed live. This is more patiently, painstakingly picturised.
