Saala khadoos is a heartfelt attempt at putting the spotlight on India’s women boxers. As it follows the life of siblings Laxmi( mumtaz sorcor) and Madhi( both trained boxers) brought up in poverty but with their sights set on boxing the film sheds loght on many movies.
A line by a power-drunk coach to a promising pupil that goes If you wish to rise in life, you have to go down first is discomforting.
The film had great potential but it plays safe by taking tha familiar routr of tha underdog becoming the champion. Both Adi and Madhi are rebels.
