Maidaan

Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan tells the inspiring story of Syed Abdul Rahim, the coach who shaped Indian football. While the film had a lot of potential to become one of the blockbusters for the year, frequent delays in its release and a clash with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan led to the film’s failure at the box office.
