Though it has a similar running length as M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, it's not quite as drably predictable or gratuitously blustery. Furthermore, it falls well short of emulating the breadth of pertinent subject issues that characterized Chak De! India.
 
Maidaan, which honors the golden age of indian football by bringing to the screen the story of a legendary man manager and football strategist working in a newly independent nation born amid the pain of the Partition, is a hit-and-run exercise that is undermined by ill-advised overkill. It dribbles rather fast and loose with facts while unwaveringly adhering to recorded dates and scorelines.
 
Directed by Badhaai Ho helmer amit Ravindernath Sharma, Maidaan is a rousing film that alternates between a dashing Rahim and two cunning individuals who will stop at nothing to foil the coach's innovative intentions to inspire one of the most populous - and underperforming - footballing nations in the world.
If the two commentators, Abhilash Thapliyal and Vijay Maurya, hadn't been such smarmy mouthpieces, the athletic action, which was expertly produced and filmed, would have been thrilling. Maidaan should have done better to give more screen time to Rahim's wife Saira (a dazzling Priyamani), his football-playing son Hakim, and the backstories of the gifted group of kids he developed into a formidable football team.
