Jersey movie review: Cricket is not just a game, it's an emotion; Shahid Kapoor proves it

Jersey movie review: Remakes are never easy but Shahid Kapoor does it with ease. After Kabir Singh, Shahid returned to the cinemas and this time with a cricket kit in his hand. Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur-starrer 'Jersey' is an emotional drama that proves that cricket is not just a game, it's an emotion.

Shahid Kapoor is portraying a talented but failed cricketer, a doting father, and a husband trying to save his marriage from falling apart. Undoubtedly, Kabir Singh carried the film on his shoulders.

If you have to describe the film in one word then it will be 'emotion' and if you have to describe it in a sentence, then it will be 'Cricket is not just a game, it's an emotion.'
