Cricket Yudh

By Satyam Bharti with 6.5

comedy · Short Films · hindi

The film is a smooth tying together of remarkable writing and humour to present to the viewer a comedic account of a cricket match played by the most unlikely players. The entirety of this story is marked by a hilarious narration that keeps the viewer in splits throughout the length of the film. It further captures an authentic experience of a small town, and the several eccentric, unexpected, strange and perhaps even endearing characters it has to offer to the viewer.

Despite its many strengths, sound remains a weak aspect of the film which holds it back from being all that it could have been. The near-absolute absence of background music comes across as jarring, initially. However, soon the viewer gets used to it, and maybe even forgets about it during the many humorous and bizarre moments marked by untimely phone calls by lovers, family members, or crucial moments during which the concerned player is off the field, and all the developments that come to constitute Cricket Yudh. Overall, the film remains a zealous product, leaving the door open for more such work by the filmmaker.
