Some untold stories are much greater than the stories we know. Some are legends because of cricket. Cricket is a legend because of such characters who have love and passion for the game. Such is a story of Pravin Tambe who get through the odds with his sheer persistence and hardwork achieves the goal at the penultimate phase of the career. Actually it is incorrect to say that, because it is believed that cricketers end their career at the age of 40, whereas this man achieved new heights at the age of 41.

Best sports drama after Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
magadalwarmayur1 April 2022
I'm cricket fan we don't get too many cricket based film and when we do most of them are terrible I was the most disappointed when 83 film was released the film had a lot of potential but can't deliver the product
Every Indian cricket fan knows the story about Praveen tambey this film tries to capture the struggle of the player and it does tremendously well the film is very personal and it doesn't lack in anything it will keep you engaged
When the film is done you would have a sense of awe The film successfully captured the struggle of Pravin tambe,without a shadow of doubt the best film I have seen based on cricket after Iqbal. And one of the best sports drama based on real person I have seen after Bhaag Milkha bhag.

Upcoming Biopic makers must take note of this one
WhyLieReviews1 April 2022
Biopics sure have an advantage with a ready-story. But that comes with its own challenges.
You cannot use much of your imagination (fictional ideas).
Yet, you need to impress the audience. Make the audience watch. Keep it interesting.
To be honest, 'Kaun Pravin Tambe?' movie kept me more engaged than '83'.
'Kaun Pravin Tambe?' seemed quite genuine, no unnecessary masala, sticks to the biopic's cause, shows you the end-to-end story coverage and keeps you rooting for the hero.
Sure, 'Kaun Pravin Tambe?' may not be among the best indian biopics out there. If i recall, i'm sure 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' was a much better story teller.
But, after a long time, 'Kaun Pravin Tambe?' showed why biopics can be interesting.
Shreyas Talpade is a very under-rated actor. Such roles, especially biopic characters, are his specialities. He debuted as a cricketing character in his 1st movie after all.
Must watch - if you can sit through a good drama / biopic.

Why this film didn't release in theaters?
Biswas_1 April 2022
If MSD : THE UNTOLD STORY could release on the big screen , then why didn't this film. I genuinely feel this is another untold story that needed a wider audience to witness.
KPT covers two journeys of Pravin Tambe, one, his journey from the small tournaments to the big stage IPL and Ranji and two, his journey from being a medium pacer to a leg spinner.
The man kept fighting for a place in the ranji for and kept practicing for years despite his age going against his ambition. His job was a headache still he didn't give up. This is the inspiring tale of the man Pravin Tambe, who went on to make a hattrick on debut against KKR .
KPT definitely gives off the MSD biopic vibes but it is of a shorter length . Shreyas Talpade gets to show his superb talent he posseses with this role. The final match between RR and KKR has been choreographed really well despite limited budget.
Also thr film never gets boring. It is always entertaining or emotional or inspiring.
Flaws : Parambrata's part is a waste addition. Also, the final call up for Pravin to RR was really abrupt. No information as to how RR selected him is given which is why it felt so abrupt. The guy who played Rahul Dravid was hilariously bad.
Overall, if you loved the MSD biopic, you will definitely love KPT. It is an inspiration. And it is engaging as well. Also, that one song that plays in this film is superb, reminded me of Besabriyaan of MSD biopic.

It's show a real struggle of a lower middle class person. Acting is also very good as compare to Movie 83. Such movies give a goosebumps to viewer and a Gally Cricketer think this is his own story Must Watch for everyone.

The Shawshank Redemption of Sports Biopics
kuldeepkholia1 April 2022
You don't need to be a legend always to inspire. Sometimes all you need is an honest, sincere & continuous effort. Pravin Tambe is a 40+ struggling cricketer, who didn't get a chance to prove his talent and his career looks to end even before it starts. But, the only ray of hope is his honest dedication towards his life that is Cricket. When all seems over, life gives him a super over. The Wall, Rahul Dravid, spots his talent & he gets into the playing 11 of Rajasthan Royals for the most astonishing franchise league of cricket in the world, IPL. His debut comes at an age when most players get retired. At a crucial juncture, when the opponents are about to chase the score made by Rajasthan, Pravin Tambe gets his debut over & guess what, he takes a hattrick. On top of that, he becomes the highest wicket taker in that IPL Tournament. Above all, this is an absolutely 💯 true story. What an inspirational story that requires your patience, but rewards you handsomly! Must Watch. Simple, yet super special. Boy next door, yet a superhero. Soulful performance of Shreyas Talpade.
Was a good movie.
vinayakvenkat5 April 2022
Movie is good but when flashback comes it makes it slow and little bit boring but the acting and the present story and the last struggle part makes movie worth to watch once and a good time pass movie .
Hats off to shreyash talpade man just lived the role.

There is no apparent 'elevation', the Screenplay mostly falls flat!
SoumikBanerjee199630 July 2022
The film might work as a fruitful catalyst for motivational reasons, precisely catered toward that older section of sportsman who has faced countless rejections and refusals in the past or is currently going through a bad patch in their respective sports careers; but for someone like me who belongs to the normal segment of the audience, this execution failed to exhibit the kind of persuasiveness I was anticipating!
Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way undermining the accomplishments of Pravin Tambe nor the fascination & the unyielding sentiment he had with 'Gentleman's Game'. It's just that I missed the same determination and intensity that is generally expected and is a must-have in my opinion, in such commercially viable sports dramas!
Normally, I do not prefer drawing unwarranted comparisons, but here, in this case, I need to make a rare exception! Just take the likes of 83', Jhund, Jersey (both the Telugu original and the Bollywood remake), or even one of Shreyas Talpade's earliest works i.e. Iqbal; in spite of being different films made in different periods, they all seemed to have something in common, "Vehemence & Enthusiasm". Unlike here, where the script tends to get barraged with incessant inconsistencies and overpowering flaws! The kind of flaws that can not be disregarded!

Superb Inspirational and emotional story of perseverance
sacpatbackup-195271 April 2022
Wow, what a movie. After watching Pravin Tambe during IPL i was already amazed with his skills for his age, but this movie gave completely revealed the hard work put behind it. What great inspirational and emotional biopic and story of great perseverance. Great acting by Shreyas Talpade, superb story and screenplay. In many scenes you can actually picturize Pravin Tambe with his innocent look. Hats off!
After this movie saw.....every one know who pravin tambe😀

The Story Everyone Should Know
iamsankho1 April 2022
"Main Bas Ekbar Ranji Khelna Chahta hoon" - The life story of Pravin Tambe should be known by every single person who is struggling. Believe me, you will never see something more inspiring than this. My respect for Tambe sir have increased much more. I was so moved after watching the movie. Kudos to Shreyas Talpade- no one could've played the character better. JUST WATCH IT. One of the best sports dramas ever made in India.
Must watch this movie.
thetarunguptaraja1 April 2022
Must watch this movie.
The fighting spirit of a man who loves cricket. He is like a Romio whose love is Juliet. He fights to achieve his goal until he has success.
Another thing is the IPL. The IPL is a blessing for domestic players. He got a great change in his life due to IPL 2013.
His dream came true due to the IPL.

Entertaining & Engaging
harsimran-508-4603501 April 2022
Kaun Pravin Tambe deserves a better rating than 83. Have to compare it with 83 as that's the latest Cricket Biopic and around the historic event but Shreyas Talpade's Kaun Pravin Tambe movie is a notch up in both Entertaining and Engaging.
"Life ho ya match, all you need is a good over" 9 stars for good entertainment...
#Disney+ Hotstar #shreyas Talpade.

Tasty but without spice.
reiya-3272014 April 2022
A good movie but lacks punch or moments where emotion takes over , it runs at a steady pace and keeps moving the message is good Talpade has acted well it's an inspiring story but it's like eating a fish without spice.
Advice - Watch if you are an admirer of King Bruce.

A story to never give up!
surajkailase5 April 2022
VERY HEARTENING TO SEE......
sunildaswaney-6364215 April 2022
It was extremely interesting and heartening to Pravin's never say never die attitude to achieve his goal of playing in Ranji cricket in India. His perseverance to achieve same was truly admirable. The last 15 minutes of the movie were extremely touching However the movie at 2hrs 13 minutes was a bit too long,and should have been reduced by about 20 minutes or so.
5/10.
5/10.
Kaun pravin tambe?
puranjanbasak2 April 2022
Kaun pravin tambe? Is a biography drama directed by jayprad desai. This is a film which everyone should watch. Very grounded and never give up attitude is what it teaches us. Not a perfect film by any means but superb film. Shreyas talpade is a star.
