10/10
Great Story but....

It's an amazing movie, based upon a true story of struggle simply for life. If we take out the aspect of the sports of boxing from the film, it still is a great story of an orphan, who survived the treacherous and cavernous belly of Karachi, otherwise known as Lyari. The acting was good too and the story line was well executed. Some technical goofs left a bit of bad taste but nothing too important to take away the true enjoyment, which is "Shah". Goofs which particularly happened were three: 1. There was signboard of "Easy Load". That is a place where people top up their mobile phones. Back in Syed Hussain Shah's time of growing up, there were no mobile phones. 2. South Korea was wrongly mentioned as North Korea. 3. Instead of showing Karachi and the area, it was Punjab. People were exhaling condensed breaths in winters, which is extremely rare in Karachi. The construction place, he worked and slept, had red bricks. Karachi uses concrete blocks for construction, not bricks from the kiln. And only a true Karachite like me, would notice number 3. Other than that, kudos to people behind the whole thing.
