Verdict: One of the best sports biopics in a while. Shaad Ali’s has made several movies since his debut with Saathiya in 2002 but none of them managed to get the critical acclaim that the Rani Mukerji and Vivek Oberoi starrer did.

Shaad Ali`s Soorma, which tells the story of ace Indian hockey player Sandeep Singh and his phenomenal return to form after a bullet left him incapacitated, does not make that mistake.
