| User ReviewHeshan PBrilliant movie. One of the rare new Sinhala movies that i was really impressed by! Not that i waste my time watching the crappy wanna be sinhala movies that are released. But this is was a good movie. Gives me hope that there are still some movies that are worth watching. Plus the fact it was based on a true story also contributes to it being more realistic without people bloody running around trees. But the acting was good, held up by a funny and practical script. |
| User ReviewPrasad NGreat sinhala movie with a different story... |
| User ReviewPJ PSe veramente ce la fanno tutti quanti, solo per la storia questo film merita 5/5. |

| User ReviewTaoufik SA touching, unique, based on real life story about a motley crew of Sri Lankan men with a dream to emigrate to Europe and their half-baked plan to smuggle themselves into the country as the fictitious national handball team. Hilarious, moving, eye-opening, and uplifting, it drew many comparisons to "Cool Runnings" from my friends. A favorite from FilmFest DC 2009. |
| User ReviewAmelie GNice little underdog story.. Good insight in to Sri Lanka on the wrong side of the tracks .. Extra half star Because it's Sri Lankan |
| User ReviewAasiri Di see some of the suddas who have commented on this movie raving about SL not having grasped the concept of handball.Dude check ur head.this movie is about the ppl in extreme poverty who would do anything to get out into the world and earn money to support their families.Sri Lankan s can play any game/sport if they want really want to.Dumbasses |
| User ReviewUmesh IShameful as fellow country men but proud in a way of a unprecedented plot. Great screen play and direction which were realistic and creative. Ranks high for a Sri Lankan movie. |
