Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It touches upon social divide issues in our country. Football is a metaphor for opportunities deprived from underprivileged youth. Scene where the children tell about themselves after winning the friendship match was very heartwarming especially the "Saare Jahan Se accha" song played on banjo.
Unlike some other reviewers, I found the screenplay perfect. Movie takes its own pace and absorbs you into its world. 30 minutes friendship match was also highly entertaining.
All Indians should watch this in theatres!
