Sleep is the act of letting go and letting things be. During the day when we start off, we slowly take off in our graph of consciousness and subsequently our control over things that we want to be right. At the start of the day we tend to walk loose. Slowly with time we start taking control of our walk and walk straight, then take control of our expressions which was loose like our walk at the start of the day. We take control of the words we speak, we take control on the way we move our hands and we become more aware of our surrounding. So with time our control as well as our consciousness increases.  Sleeping is the act of letting it all go. Hence falling asleep is much easier for the ones who don’t take control on a lot of things and are casual about relatively more things than some other guy who falls asleep late. Because taking control is like tightening our fists with as many fingers as the number of things we take control of. So the act of letting go is taking off o...

This film only reminded me of why I should stop watching Bollywood, except for the few that come out once in a while. The film is ridden with gaping loop holes and laughable sequences of action (like when Rohit's character and Hrithik's character have a go at each other, turn by turn). The dialogues are written as if the actors are dialogue writers themselves, or they just watch a lot of Bollywood to be so cheesy to give out such punch liners even when they could shoot directly instead of fighting with dialogues after every hit. The film has very superficially etched characters and a plot line so predictable, even the girl i watched with could predict from half a mile (excuse my sexism). The usual over stylized Sanjay Gupta film. A generous 4/10 from me. Hrithik has improved in his acting, but the benchmark of a good acting is good acting, not the actor himself, after all.

The film is collection of cliches if you ask me. Plenty unnecessary scenes, very sticking out comedies which doesn't mix well in the subtlety of the story and an ending that every sports film has had, the person in the ring remembering the training session which has a lot of emotional nostalgia attached. The only thing good about it, is the wrestling choreography well executed by the actors and the overall acting. A potential good film turned into a mass movie compromising art. I am not saying its wrong, but I will only be a critic here. For me, its not as good as it has been hyped, strictly 6/10. P.S, Chak De! India is still the bloody best sports film, for its restrained acting, cutting through so many issues without steering the whole film towards that direction, editing, hockey cinematography, more authentic sports politics and no unnecessary forced humor.
