Here’s our reviewWe rated the film with 3.5 star rating. Our official review reads, “Technically, the film is a treat. The audiography, raw, immersive, and at times overwhelming, places us right in the middle of sweaty gyms and crowded streets. The stunt choreography is electric, making the boxing sequences feel visceral and alive. Songs are rooted, catchy, and carry a local flavour that adds charm without overpowering. The performances are uniformly stellar. Naslen brings a restless energy to Jojo, part clueless, part charming, all heart. Lukman as Antony Joshuva is a quiet storm, carrying his role with understated brilliance. Baby Jean’s David John is endearing, while Anagha Ravi's Natasha has quiet confidence and surprising grit.”
