You've got Safi, who's grappling with not just his talent but his identity, and then there's Yudhisthir, this coach with a past that mirrors Safi's but has taken a completely different route. The cinematography captures those intense moments on the court, but also the quiet, reflective scenes that really flesh out the characters. The pacing keeps you on your toes; it’s not just about basketball, it’s about choices, expectations, and what it means to rise up.
