Sports drama is a genre that has been tried before in Hindi films. So what makes Sudha Prasad's 'Saala Khadoos' different? Perhaps it's unusual casting of R Madhavan and newcomer Ritika Singh.
Known for playing romantic roles in Bollywood, R Madhavan has physically transformed himself for playing a disgruntled coach who finds a prodigy in Ritika Singh - an aspiring boxer.
Will the film be able to put boxing on the national agenda once again? Will the audience accept Madhavan's new avatar? Will his pairing with Singh be liked by people? Shomini Sen of IBNLive.com is inside the theater to find out.
