‘Jaadugar’ review: A heartfelt coming-of-age film that meets the goal
The HinduAn engaging slice-of-life cinema that sincerely tries to steer clear of the cliches, Jaadugar addresses complex issues of love and commitment with unvarnished charm. Director Sameer Saxena adroitly fuses disparate elements of football and magic to conjure up a convincing coming-of-age story that makes you fall in love with the characters of Neemuch, a town on the Madhya Pradesh-Rajasthan border that loves its football. Jaadugar Director: Sameer Saxena Cast: Jitendra Kumar, Arushi Sharma, Jaaved Jaferri Runtime: 166 minutes Storyline: A magician, who has no talent in football, has to win a local tournament for love and family Sameer and screenplay writer Biswapati Sarkar have cut their teeth in The Viral Fever and the dialogues have the flavour of Panchayat and Kota Factory. After his goalkeeper brother dies in an accident on the way to a football match, Coach Pradeep vows to win the local tournament and fulfil the dream of his late brother. Even Meenu, his late brother’s son, is more interested in learning magic than in pursuing football.
