'Striker' is directed by Chandan Arora. The director has come up with an interesting subject but he failed to keep it intact due to diverse narration.
Story:
The story is about Surya (siddharth) who grows in the ghetto of Mumbai along with his family and he develops a liking for carom. The area is controlled by a local don Jaleel (aditya) and due to Surya's brother Chandra (anoop), there are few old settlements to be made. Surya's dreams of going to Dubai fail when he is duped and he gets a blow when his affair with neighbour Noorie (Nicolette) also fails. Surya gets into the game, makes some money on carom gambling but soon comes out and gets back to a new life. However, the past comes back in the form of his childhood friend Zaid (ankur) who gets him back to the game and this time, Surya gets into some serious issues with Jaleel. And what happens here after is to be seen on the screen.
Performance:
Siddharth did a very good job in his role and despite his image, he has done justice. Padmapriya looked sexy and even her performance was confident. Anupam Kher was effective but his role could have been developed better, Aditya Pancholi is excellent and he impresses with his act, yet another top notch performance from Ankur Vikal and others like Anoop Soni (apt), Seema Biswas (excellent), Vidya Malvade (convincing) contributed in their own way.
Music:
'Striker' music is composed by Shailendra Barve, Amit Trivedi, Yuvan Shankar Raja, Swanand Kirkire, Vishal Bhardwaj Blaaze. The background score of this movie was too good, and two songs good and remainings songs were not up to the marks.
Verdict: Average |  |
