Ajay Devgn played the role of Indian football coach Syed Abdul Rahim in the film, set between 1952 and 1962. His tenure as a football coach was known as the Golden Era of Indian football.
Ajay Devgn shines in Maidaan, a sports biopic depicting the legendary Syed Abdul Rahim s commitment to football. The film earned plaudits for its director Amit Ravindernath Sharma while lyricist Javed Akhtar lauded Devgn s performance as “mind-blowing”.
Both the Eid releases have disappointed on the opening front with cumulative collections of under Rs 20 crores. It is now all about how well the two films can trend in the days to come.
