Ajay Devgan’s phenomenal performance in ‘Biopic’, see the story by S.A. Rahim and say ‘Eid Mubarak’.

The situation was not good in the country in those days. The guns of the Khadkus were roaring loudly in North India. Their impact was visible even in schools and colleges and then a film ‘Hip Hip Hurray’ was released! Gulzar wrote its screenplay, dialogues and songs. However, there will be no mention of this film released in 1984 in Gulzar’s filmography on Wikipedia. Keep in mind that in the year 1983, India won the Cricket World Cup for the first time and since then, what has happened in this country beyond the game of cricket is not hidden from anyone.


The situation was not good in the country in those days. If you have seen the film ‘Hip Hip Hurray’ directed by Prakash Jha, then you will remember the image of its hero Sandeep Chaudhary in Ajay Devgan’s character Syed Abdul Rahim again and again while watching the film ‘Maidan’. The undercurrent of the story is the same. Time is just a little further back. However, the story of this feat accomplished by Syed Abdul Rahim was never told in history or to the students on the playgrounds. In this respect, both Ajay Devgan and Boney Kapoor have done a great job, The game of football has been like an alien for Hindi cinema.

Barring a few films like ‘De Dana Dan Gol’, stars have not given much attention to this game of strength of courage and quickness of feet. Director Amit Sharma of the film ‘Maidan’ and its producer Boney Kapoor have been together for about 10 years. Both met for the first time for the film ‘Tevar’. Then Amit Sharma made ‘Badhaai Ho’ and after this film released in 2019, his life till now has been for the film ‘Maidan’ only.

So, the story of this heart-warming film is simply that a football fanatic, lost in his passion, one day decides to hoist the tricolor flag on the football field in front of the world. Time is not very good for the film ‘Maidan’ but the film is releasing on Eid and the story is of Syed Abdul Rahim so Eid Milni toh banti hai.

In the film ‘Maidan’, if we keep aside for a while considering the weak aspects of the song and music composed by Manoj Muntashir and A R Rahman but the tuneful sounding songs and the scenes of Rahim repeatedly smoking cigarettes, then the technical It has turned out to be a good film as well.
