2 1/2 STARS IT IS
can't say that the director has been improved & rather she has got down...
She has done it at her standards
the movie had a bit wavering in the treatment of the subject...from a SPORTS DRAMA to a POLITICAL DRAMA and ends up as a RELIGIOUS HARMONICAL DRAMA
the movie is GOOD, but you all know right that an Average Movie earns a WOM that 'it could have been better'
