It’s funny how so many Hindi films about cricket have been made and none of them have actually managed to enthrall. Victory is no different from the rest of these Hindi films based on cricket. Like them, it too is boring.

The film traces the rise, fall and rise again of cricketer Vijay Shekawat (Hurman Baweja). It begins with his humble beginnings in Rajasthan and moves onto his selection in the Indian cricket team, following him through his flamboyant lifestyle and the wrong decisions he makes only to realize them and correct them.

The crucial elements in the film include, the showcase of his proud father who is ecstatic about his son’s selection and later cuts off all ties following his wild antics and terming as a traitor. Also in the picture during all this is Nandini (Amrita Rao) who is the backbone of Vijay, like a true friend and lover she stands by him.

What is incomprehensible and hard to fathom is the fact that, how does one become a traitor if an injury is not reported to the Indian cricket coach? Does a cricketer become a traitor if he loses a match because of this unreported injury?

The film’s story is limited; it’s more like a case of making the movie as you go along than actually coming up with the sturdy and strong script. So you see Vijay make it to the top and because you need an action they decide to term him traitor and have him shunned by family and friends. Since you need to add more to the film, they decide to have his father undergo a brain hemorrhage. And because a Hero never does wrong, his downfall has to be marked by new success. That’s precisely what the film does.

`Victory’ has all the right intentions, but its execution is bland.
