About This Movie

Suresh Raina 01 marks the entry of the cricketer into the film world, which is quite a shift from his usual cricketing fame. The film has a unique tone that blends drama with elements of sport, reflecting Raina’s journey in a surprisingly engaging way. The pacing is a bit uneven, typical for first-time ventures, but it captures the essence of ambition and struggle. What stands out are the practical effects used during the cricket sequences; they have a raw, authentic feel that adds to the atmosphere. The performances, especially Raina's, come off as genuine if not entirely polished, giving it that distinct newcomer charm. It’s interesting to see how his background influences his portrayal.

This film remains relatively obscure, with limited releases making it a rare find among collectors. Formats vary, and it appears there hasn’t been a comprehensive restoration yet, adding to its mystique. Interest in this film has been growing, particularly among fans of sports cinema and collectors of sports figures in unexpected roles. Its unique premise and Raina's fandom contribute to its appeal.
