Language: Telugu
Genre: Action, Sports
It's been long time tollywood has witnessed film based on sports. Last movie I remember was "Aswini", a biopic based on the life story of Aswini nachappa. Any well made biopic of any sportsperson is well received by audience. Dangal, Bhag milka Bhag received tremendous response from audience. "Saala khadoos" is tailor made from stories of many athletes. Guru is remade to Telugu from Hindi movie "Saala khadoos".
This movie is a life story of a coolie from vizag (Rameswari) who wins women boxing world championship. It tells how her coach Aadi (Venkatesh) struggles to overcome politics in sport and overpowers the evil of the sport to make her a world champion forms the Crux of the story. Junior coach's struggle in finding women boxers, ill funded sports acamedies, senior coaches taking advantage of the athletes, what not, everything is well told by Sudha kongara (director). Best part of the movie is the conversations between hero and heroine. Their egoistic attitude and dialogues keeps you engaged throughout. Emotions are well portrayed and audience leaves the theatres with heavy hearts.
Venkatesh is best as national coach. No other actor of the tollywood can fit in this role. His appearance and adamant behaviour on screen shows you a different Venky. Star of the movie is Ritika. She is simply fantastic. No words to express. She is the best. Mumtaz sorcar, Bengali actress acted as Ritikas sister. Nasser as junior coach. Hindi villain Zakir Hussain acted as national selector. "Jingidi jingidi" and "ey sakkanoda" are shot well. Others are just time lapse songs.

Few may not connect to the nativity feel
My rating:3.25/5
Final touch: Sure watch over weekend. Venky and Ritika rocks.
PS: I did watch "Saala khadoos". Still I liked it.
