Key Points

Sooraj (Ritvik Sahore) and his stoic mother (Rajeshwari Sachdev) arrive in Mumbai in search of a fresh start..

Will Sooraj, who loves football, be able to overcome his difficulties?..

As Sooraj goes about trying to find friendly faces in a rough environment a tough-talking rival school-mate (Jayesh Kardak), a good-hearted goon (Prashant Naryanan), a land-grabbing neta (Govind Namdeo), a football field about to be sacrificed to greedy sharks we see him having nightmares featuring wild beasts..

Theres a pleasing sincerity about Sahore, and Sachdev and Narayanan are both capable of breathing life into a scene..
