The movie Soorma, which showcases the real life story of ace drag flicker Sandeep Singh, never attempted to over-dramatize things and in doing so somewhat fell flat on the audience. It may have deliberately stuck to being true to the real life incidents of this former penalty corner specialist and captain of Indian national hockey team and his unfortunate twist of fate, but in trying to keep it simple, it failed to arouse the viewers enough to truly appreciate it purely as a 'moving' movie. The script and direction left a void I felt. The scenes with Vijay Raaz as coach packed a punch but acting of Angad Bedi, Bishen Singh Bedi's son, left much to be desired. Overall, I give it a 6/10, a story howsoever told which deserved every bit to reach us...
