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.

Family Star review
The Hindustan Times’ review of the movie Family Star, starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Parasuram Petla, suggests that the film struggles to make a mark or entertain, with issues reminiscent of Geetha Govindam (2018). The film tests patience and fails to maintain interest as it progresses.
The review criticizes the plot of Family Star, stating that it is thin and defies logic, making it difficult to enjoy. It also suggests that the film’s portrayal of middle-class life is caricaturish, as if it was written by someone unfamiliar with the realities of such a life.
