Saina Review: Parineeti Chopra Gives It Her Best Shot But Amole Gupte's Film Is A Mishit

Saina Review: Parineeti Chopra is not bad at all. She is, however, let down by the tonal patchiness of the film.

Cast: Parineeti Chopra, Manav Kaul, Eshan Naqvi, Meghna Malik Director: Amole Gupte Rating: 2 stars (out of 5) The eventful life and times of Indian badminton ace Saina Nehwal abounds in intrinsic drama no doubt. Amole Gupte's Saina, which brings her exciting story to the big screen, suffers from a lack of consistency. The sports biopic floats like a wobbly shuttlecock between trying to get the big smashes in and opting for a defensive strategy aimed at eking out a hard-fought win. That it falls between two stools isn't the principal problem; the ungainly thud with which it does so is.
