The sports drama film is based on the golden era of Indian football. It is directed by Badhaai Ho director Amit Ravindranath Sharma. South actress Keerthy Suresh is seen in the lead role with Ajay Devgn in the film. Apart from them, Priyamani, Gajraj Rao and well-known Bengali actor Rudra Neeta Ghosh can also be seen in the field. This film was produced by Bollywood actor Janhvi Kapoor‘s father Boney Kapoor.
India TV’s Sakshi Verma wrote in her review, “Maidaan featuring Ajay Devgn in mostly every scene has a lot of him. And the actor carries the film on his shoulder with sheer spirit, brilliant performance, and ‘those eyes chico’. In certain scenes, you would want a shed a tear for him and in the next moment you would get goosebumps with his stunning portrayal of Sayed Abdul Rahim. What less do you expect from a three-time National Award-winning actor?
“Our country has been known for cricket and hockey since early times, although there came a time when Indian football was called the ‘Brazil of Asia’. This was possible only because of Syed Abdul Rahim and his team. Maidaan is a film about a man’s undying spirit and his rebellion from death.”
