Taapsee Pannu's sports drama 'Shabaash Mithu' has released in theatres on July 15.

Taapsee Pannu is A-Game in the titular role as Mithali Raj and manages to bring an earthiness to her character's portrayal.

'Shabaash Mithu' opens to one fine dawn with Taapsee as Mithali Raj taking a run.

'Shabaash Mithu' through small instances manages to overturn, challenge or expose the everyday norm of women's lives.

Srijit Mukherji also very dramatically coalesces shots like Mithali playing her best to get selected in the national cricket camp.

'Shabaash Mithu' brings home the point that the film or its subject or its maker is not looking down on anyone's struggle.

The second half of 'Shabaash Mithu' just fast forwards Mithali's life to highlight one momentous moment from her life.

'Shabaash Mithu' prolifically uses flashbacks, voiceovers, soliloquies, and an interesting mix of shots.

Its star cast's performance and some excellent sequences rescue the film from becoming a plain old school monotony of a biopic.

We give 'Shabaash Mithu' a 2.5/5 star rating.
