Saina (2021)

Amole Gupte always had a tough task at hand as Saina’s life has been sober, relatively uncontroversial, and transparent. The fact that she is an active sportsperson only adds to the expectations. Her road to world domination wasn’t outrageously wobbly. She has ultra-supportive parents, a loving sister, a great set of friends, and a husband (Parupalli Kashyap) that doubles up as her cheerleader. She was raised and loved like a winner right from her childhood. There isn’t a shattering conflict that tugs at your heartstrings. Amol Gupte still tries to capture Saina’s tiger spirit that lies beneath her modest persona. His film is a feel-good tale about India’s poster girl for Badminton. Saina, the film could have been more memorable, but it doesn’t fall short of inspiring the youth.

Overall, it's an ace for Amole Gupte with this biopic, however, it could have been a clean sweep had he taken care of some flaws by focusing a little better on the character build up and the badminton matches. The team does justice to the achievements and legacy of Saina Nehwal with well-intentioned biopic. Saina is a winner, on and off the court.

Overall, Saina is everything you need to watch this weekend in cinemas. It will inspire you, move you and most importantly entertain you. Go for it!

On the whole, SAINA gives a great overview of one of the finest sports player of our country. The performance of Parineeti Chopra, the dramatic and emotional moments and the appropriate pace of the film contributes highly to the film’s appeal. Go for it
