Stand By
Critic reviews and ratings
-
This one's an honest attempt to entertain and make a valid point as well.
-
Simplistic but relevant.
-
Surkar chose a fine subject which had tremendous potential to hit the right chord with the audience. But 'team' selection let him down coupled with lack of use of advanced technology.
-
...a fairly good effort that drives home a point.
-
...has its moments but they are very few and now enough to hold your attention. The entire film is fizzles out even before it takes off.
-
The film has a good script, ruined by the effort to make it commercially viable.
-
You try sitting through this movie. Priceless.
-
While making a point about political interference and corruption (the flavour of the season!) in football, Stand By leans heavily towards Bollywood melodrama. This is most unnecessary in what could have been a hard-hitting look at what ails Indian sports.
-
Despite its good intentions, and some nice on-field sequences where winning and losing is on display, 'Stand By' is marred by its clichés and long-windedness.
-
...has good performances but a very weak and predictable story and script.
