A1 Express movie review: Early on in
A1 Express, the Sports Minister delivers an emotional speech on a hockey ground. He does it theatrically, as if it were an election speech. Since it is Rao Ramesh who is the Minister, you excuse the dash of unrealism infused into an otherwise ordinary moment. In a way, that scene represents the movie. While the stagecraft seems contrived, the casting is perfect!
A hockey ground, which was made almost holy by its association with a legendary hockey player of the early decades of Independence, is sought to be pawned to a corporate house. Everyone is helpless until a former hockey champion comes to their rescue. No prizes for guessing the name of the saviour!
