Ajitpal Mangat’s Victory lacks sparks for real victory

Herman BawejaAjitpal Mangat's Victory has no ingredient for getting victory on the box office. Even presence of real stars of cricket like Bret Lee, Mike Hussey, Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Jayasurya, Ajantha Mendis, Harbhajan Singh, Rohit Sharma and RP Singh couldn't help it.

Herman Baweja plays the role 24-year-old from Jaisalmer, who has immense batting potential and finally gets selected into the Indian cricket team. He becomes a cricket star by single handedly defeating Australia, South Africa, England and Pakistan.

Like a typical Bollywood movie, a bad guy (super agent played by Gulshan Grover) distracts our innocent hero from cricket to floodlights, the parties, the sponsorships, the ad campaigns and the big money.

Finally our hero realizes his mistake in the end. He offers us action with six sixers back-to-back, and one final one that smash the floodlights despite a blurry vision and bleeding profusely from the broken head.

Anupam Kher plays the role of a Gandhian daddy and Amrita Rao is our hero's childhood love. Ajitpal Mangat needs to polish his abilities as a director. In all, the movie is very predictable and has some lengthy emotional scenes.
