Champion Review: Period Drama Lacks Emotional Punch
Champion, set in 1948 post-Independence Secunderabad under Nizam rule, follows aspiring footballer Michael Williams (Roshan Meka) whose England dreams clash with his father's past and a gun delivery task landing him in a Razakar-oppressed village. Roshan impresses with looks and effort, Gira Gira song stands out, production values feel authentic. But emotionless characters, slow uneven screenplay, lengthy runtime, dubbing issues, and weak direction make it flat and boring despite sincere intent.
