'Maidaan': Reliving the golden era of Indian football - Victor Amalraj

The film Maidaan is an excellent one. How the three hours passed I don't know. It was so gripping.

I am glad that a film was made on Rahim Sab (Coach) who took Indian football from the barefoot era to the modern era and put India on the global map with victories in the Asian Game 1962 at Jakarta as well as the 4th place at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956.

Watching actors playing the role of Peter Thangaraj, P.K. Banerjee, Chuni Goswami and others took me back to the days when I used to meet them regularly.

Thangaraj anna, Kannan anna and Balaram anna often visited my house. Ajay Devgn has done a good job in portraying Rahim sab and I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

Congratulations to Maidaan Makers.
