Jersey movie review: Shahid Kapoor scores a century in an overlong film

After Kabir Singh, Shahid Kapoor returns to the big screen with Jersey. Playing a talented but failed cricketer, he carries the film on his able shoulders. While he hits it out of the park each time he’s on the field, the film shines in patches.

A Hindi remake of the Telugu film Jersey has been written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, who also helmed the original. The remake is a scene by scene copy of the original, much like most other south Indian films that get remade in Bollywood.

Jersey marks the journey of an exceptionally talented Ranji player Arjun Talwar (Shahid Kapoor) who quits cricket at the age of 26 and after 10 years, decides to revive his career. In the process, Arjun wants to fulfil his son Kitu’s desire for a jersey and dream of seeing his father play cricket.

High on emotion, Jersey lacks on the intrigue value that would keep you hooked. The nearly three-hour runtime of the film makes it only worse. Arjun and Vidya’s romance and their struggle to convince her South Indian father to marry her daughter into a Punjabi household gets a bit too stretched.

Manthan, a 1976 film starring Smita Patel, will be shown at the Cannes Classics section. “My mother is going to be celebrated,” Prateik declares as he boards a plane to France to attend the largest film festival on the planet for his mother’s film. It’s a significant occasion for my family and me. Particularly for me, it has great symbolic meaning. I’m a really happy son.” He continues by saying, “This moment reminds me of how amazing a woman she us and how I am lucky to be her son.”

A few days prior, Prateik learned that Manthan was being screened. Fortunately, his visa came two days ago. So he bought the tickets to France and put all his work on wait. Prateik recalled that Manthan was a crowd-funded movie, with each farmer contributing two rupees to its production. “I always knew about it,” Prateik added. I used to hear my grandmother and aunt recount the film’s creation tale. As my grandpa was a farmer as well, I was always encouraged to take pride in my ancestry.” He said, “Also, I revisit my mom’s films very frequently, it’s like watching FRIENDS for me- you know what’s going to happen next, but you keep watching.”
