Review of Stumped

Stumped (2003)
9/10
A film for the true patriot
26 November 2007
Cricket is the backdrop for this film. It shows the obsession of the Indian public to watching India play cricket. However the true fight is going on thousands of miles away in a real war, which most of the characters are oblivious too.

The extent to which cricket fans go is gently ridiculed here where as very little worth is given to soldiers risking their lives for their country by those same people. Watching cricket is also shown as a running away from personal tragedies and not focusing on what is truly important in life.

Gaurav Pandey (the Director) has put together a great drama film here. Raveena (playing Reema Seth) puts on an excellent performance as wife of Major Raghav Seth who is sent away for war.

A moving & thought provoking film that all obsessive cricket fans should watch.
