One could easily look at it from his point of view, this happens when the author forms a connect with the masses. It lays focus on Suresh Raina's humble beginnings and his rise to fame. Raina hailed as a cricketer who celebrated others success more than his own. Simplicity and gratitude being his motto!

Also, it throws light on Raina's admiration for his seniors, earlier days in cricket, the camaraderie with MS Dhoni and also the part his family has played in making him.

No major twists and controversies, all-together a very enjoyable, light and simple read! From the days in Muradnagar and the rough patches on the way to becoming one of India's most followed cricketer. He has come a long way but, it hasn't come easy. Read on to find how

A decent horror thriller without much to expect - seemed rather incomplete. Not the one which would keep you on the edge till the end. The build-up around the begining is quite intriguing complete with some jump scares, but as the movie progresses it becomes rather predictable and doesn't actually give you the kind of thrill that was built around in the beginning. Even the whole present scenario inclusion some how felt rather forced into the plot, kind of out-of-place. Somehow it looks like the horror-mix formula rarely works out as intended in Malayalam, often it ends up being unlucky and disappointing. If it was the conflict of logic & beliefs that the makers intended to put forth, I don't think that actually worked out that way, rather it ended up creating mere confusions in the process! Also, it did seem that the two narratives (Satyajith's & Medha's) didn't quite merge well together! By the end, I had a tons of unaswered questions - or wait, is a sequel coming out? that would explain the loose ends! All together, its a one-time watch. Prithviraj is in his usual best self. Subtle & not over the top. Yet, the movie fails him! The actor in him gets wasted somehow. Has he gotten younger?!

Pathetic attempt to glorify the hero, takes away the strong message and impact that Pink put forth. Though, both Pink & Nerkonda Paarvai had big names like Amitabh Bachchan & Ajith Kumar, never was the limelight taken from the women from who's perspective the story was being told, that's exactly were Vakeel Saab fails! The focus is hero and his actions. While the hero should have been seen as a supporting character, here the women are subjected to supporting roles and hero takes up the centre-stage. Pink & Nerkonda Parvai, which were both women-centric in the very nature, this one is a complete disappointment. Even while delivering the message it was intended to be doing, this movie fails pathetically! A dancer gets replaced with a software engineer so that it becomes much more acceptable and the instances for the heinous crime is all twisted up & justified in a way it fits the societies so called norms! All together, the movie is a very pathetic attempt in re-creating a revolutionary movie which was an eye-opener in many ways (I mean what's up with the whole Shruti Hassan narrative?!), Just goes on deviating. Fails instantly in all the aspects that those both Pink & N.P laid focus on. While seeing Vakeel Saab, the one thing that occured to me was that the court scene was absolutely unnecessary due to the way the story line was being carried forth, Satyadev could have as well settled it outside the court due to the all mass hero image he was being given in the movie! The one factor as usual that stood out for me was the performance from Prakash Raj, in his usual best self!
