India, Jan. 26 -- Rated: 8/10

Panga is an ode to comebacks after motherhood and to women who give up blossoming careers, celebrityhood and presence to nurse their children and families. Tat their is a disclaimer that it is a purely fictitious story, takes away the mirth attached to sporting movies. But having said that, Kangana kind of glides into the role of a yesteryear kabbadi captain now engrossed in raising her cute child and cuter husband, at the expense of the international kabaddi mat and a career all her own. She makes the movie and her character entirely believable though you might want to credit director Ashwini Iyer for not even once playing to the gallery.

The movie and its music comes with a Dangal kind of rustic influence...
