If you're expecting a movie where cricket is looked upon like a God's game and cricketers worshipped more than God himself then Jersey isn't a movie for you. The director Gowtham has successfully produced a great movie neatly portraying the emotions and hardships a cricketer goes through, the insecurities he experiences and the toll cricketing careers have on families. Nani had once again proven himself to be the versatile natural actor he was. Though the direction looked a little weak at times it still wasn't short of any exceptional performances. The script feels confusing for most of the first part but as the movie proceeds things begin to add up. The character sometimes feels a bit unrealistic on field and the character of his wife was a bit played down in places where it was essential for it to be intense, yet, the movie focuses on unusual aspects of a cricketer's journey.
Overall, Jersey is an emotional rollercoaster. The ending depicts that of a typical movie but still it feels like the obviousness gives the movie a much needed sympathetic outlook forcing you to pity as well as pride the journey of this cricketer.
