Patriotism

A very exaggerated movie, full of nationalistic plots. Sometimes it feels like some Chinese martial arts movies in the 1980s.

The plot is very interesting, to the extent that people can't help but laugh. The game was shot very well, and the British were silent at the crucial moment.

The style of the movie is a bit similar to the Indians I have met. It is quite humorous, but it does not master the scale. It is too poor when you are happy, but it has a warm side.

The most interesting thing is that when the final stalemate was at a stalemate, it showed the fair enforcement of the British referees. This treatment is very subtle. Indians are patriotic, but they do not deny the fairness of the British referee. It shows that the Indian brothers still have a little bit of love for the British in their hearts.

It's worth watching, I'm excited after watching it.

    The cricket game is too long, the performances and singing and dancing are good, but if you look at it as a stage play and don't go too deep into the plot, it will be more fun to watch the movie

    Capt. Russell: Is that the way a soldier behaves? You're SUPPOSED TO SALUTE when a superior officer passes!

    British Soldier: I did, Sir.

    Capt. Russell: I didn't see it!
