Good Things:
-R Madhavan packs a punch with his performance as ‘khadoos’ coach.
Fresh face Ritika Singh too puts her heart into the role. She looks pretty confident.

-Zakir Hussain as the villainous Dev Khatri does a good job.
Nassar does a brilliant job as a junior coach. He is like Chak De’s Vibha Chibber who gives a strong supporting role.

Bad Things:
-Saala Khadoos is a recap of Chak De and very little portion of Marry Kom too. The film’s predictability puts you off from it in the first half itself.

-When it comes to sports dramas clearly Chak De and Bhag Milkha Bhag remain to be the best of Bollywood and Saala Khadoos will particularly be compared to Chak De mainly because of the whole coach angle.

-The love angle seems forced and I would say it is a little unfair to show woman in sports not having their focus right every time.

Which time is the best (before interval or after interval)?
-Second half & songs would be a good time.

Watch or Not? :
Not a must-watch! Saala Khdoos is a typical Bollywood sports drama that is highly formulaic. Also, there is a little sport in this sports-based film.

Saala Khadoos Review: The Final Word:

-Saala Khadoos is extremely formulaic and that’s where it falls flat.
Strong permfomances do not save this predictable film.


-I am going with a 3/5* for the film.
