'Torbaaz' review

Torbaaz plot showcases the story of a man who takes to the path of becoming training cricket to young children after he suffers a personal loss himself. For people who liked the Neeraj Pandey movie A Wednesday, would love this film, as Torbaaz showcases how a person tries to take action after suffering through a corrupt environment around him.

In Torbaaz, we see Sanjay Dutt as a cricket coach, who is determined to put the young kids through cricket training, so that they could acquire skills of sportsmanship and do something better in their future, apart from being refugee camp kids, who are usually subjected to terrorism at a younger age and end up being a part of it later. 

The movie touches the brittle concept of a suicide bombing using young kids in the terrorism affected areas in Afghanistan. Sanjay Dutt's character tries to teach the sport of cricket to these young kids from refugee camps in Afghanistan while he himself is subjected under the radar of terrorist clans who try and stop him as his intentions to train kids to hinder his plans to use the kids as suicide bombers. The director has attempted a brave concept on the screen which has never been tried in Bollywood.
