I am glad that Bollywood is now making up for it with fictional stories, biopics, and even biopics riddled with fiction that revolve around sports. One area where we weren't at par with Hollywood sports movies was the depiction of the sport itself. Dhoni: The Untold Story addresses that part and sets the bar for future productions to emulate.
In Rajput, we have an actor who has the physique, fitness, and grace of an actual cricketer. To a trained eye, it's always easy to differentiate between an actor who is just repeating a batting motion he has just been taught, as was the case with Emraan Hashmi in his portrayal of Azhar, and one who can actually hold a bat, like Sushant can.
The use of guitars is dominant in'Phir Kabhi', sung by Arijit Singh, but the track itself fails to make an impact and also ends quiet abruptly.'Parwah Nahi', rendered by Siddharth Basrur, is a rock number. The combination of drums and electric guitars is catchy and the guitar riffs have an infectious vibe that prompt you to hum along.
The next song,'Jab Tak'(Redux), is peppier as compared to the earlier version but lacks soul. The final number,'Padhoge Likhoge', sung by Ananya Nanda and Adithyan A Prithviraj, is reminiscent of typical South dance tracks, thanks to the liberal use of shehnai and dhol. The lyrics bust the age-old myth of how youngsters who study are'nawabs' and have a secure life while those who don't are considered'kharab'. The catchy beats and rhythm prompt you to get up and dance.
