World Cup 2011
December 26, 2009

The movie title may lure you to expect something of ‘Chak De’ or ‘Lagaan’ but you may end up feeling cheated once you are through the movie. Though Ravi Kapoor intends to bring out a new dimension to the commonplace theme of sports, yet he misses out the proper execution which leads to the lack of apt representation of the theme.

The movie introduces Ravi Kapoor as Ravi Indulkar, the Indian cricket team captain.  Ravi Kapoor is portrayed in the role of a dynamic batsman who at the later stage gets slipped off the moral track. The glittering world of bribe takes over the best part of Ravi and his four team mates – Rajpal, Irfan, Balwinder and Hiten. Shobhan (Zakhir Hussai) lures these batsmen to lose the forthcoming match which they faithfully do. However, the days of glory do not last for long for the bribed batsmen who are eventually exposed by a journalist. And then what follows is very much predictable!
