    There have not been many good films about cricket made in the Hindi film industry. You can count on your fingers the number of good films about cricket in India and the latest Disney+ Hotstar offering, Kaun Pravin Tambe? is a welcome addition to that list. 
    The movie is about Pravin Tambe (Shreyas Talpade) whose dream is to play Ranji cricket and has been after the tournament since his 20s, but, somehow, he fails to make the cut each time. 
    At 40 now, Pravin has lost all hope and has been asked to retire and then comes a twist in his life. 
    Who doesn’t love a true underdog story? Director Jayprad Desai treats it like one and to be honest, half of his job was done when he got his hands on such an inspiring story. 
    However, the screenplay could’ve been better. The non-linear plot didn’t make much sense or added value to the narrative.

    Also, I didn’t really like the way Pramabrata Chatterjee’s character was written. He plays a sports journalist in the film and is sort of an antagonist. But, it mostly seemed forced. 

    Since the film wasn’t a big-budget one, it’s commendable how the makers cut corners by filming mostly indoors to avoid spending money on creating the ‘80s & the ‘90s. 
    The editing was pretty good. The cinematography could’ve been better and the VFX was not up to the mark. 
    Despite its shortcomings, Kaun Pravin Tambe? works thanks to the perfect casting of Shreyas Talpade in the lead role. He carries the film on his shoulder and makes sure it reaches the finish line with flying colours. 
    Shreyas, who made his Bollywood debut with a cricket-based film Iqbal, has come full circle with another film about cricket. 
    While the former started his career, let’s hope this one becomes the starting point of his second innings in Bollywood and a glorious one. 
    Prambrata Chatterjee performs his role well and has a good screen presence but his character didn’t add much value to the plot.
    Ashish Vidyarthi is so good as Pravin’s coach. His scene towards the end in front of a TV screen is what great acting is all about. 
    Anjali Patil is outstanding as Pravin’s supportive wife, however, Arif Zakaria doesn’t get much scope.

    Overall, Kaun Pravin Tambe? is totally worth your time. It is an inspiring & entertaining biopic starring an equally brilliant Shreyas Talpade.
