Saina Nehwal Biopic - Saina

The recent film ‘Saina’ is a biographical film based on the journey of Saina Nehwal and her hard work to become the world’s 1 badminton player.  Starring Parineeti Chopra as Saina Nehwal, the film unfurl the dream, struggle and her path of becoming the world’s number one female badminton player and the blessing and work of her parents and coach behind her. 

Film 'Saina' Plot

Saina Nehwal who belongs to a middle-class family in the film begins with her dream of becoming number one. In the press conference, the story goes through flashbacks in order of question and answer. Saina's father (Shubhrajyoti Barat) and mother Usha (Meghna Malik), who were transferred to Hyderabad, have been district-level badminton players. 

Saina’s dream is to see her daughter playing for the country. This was the reason when Saina comes in second in the national rankings in the Under-12, her mother slaps her. Shocked by this slap, Saina’s father consoles her and explains why victory is important for her mother. 

Her mother stands as a rock in her success-failure. A period comes when the injured Saina has to stay away from the badminton court for months and is frustrated due to differences with the coach. When the news of her downfall in the game spreads, her mother asks her to not let doubt make a home in the mind. ‘You are a lioness. Saina Nehwal is your name’. Such dialogues written by Amitosh Nagpal made an extraordinary impact on the film.

Usually, the film is made on the lives of the players reflect their struggles and subsequent success. Here too, the ups and downs of Saina's life, differences with the coach and her love story are depicted. Director Amol Gupte has kept the story away from controversies. He did not mention Saina’s rivalry with PV Sindhu and has managed to keep up the excitement and thrill over the rivalry between the two players to win on the badminton court with P. Kashyap's Saina's love story. 

Not only dialogues but the songs too have lightened up the storyline and mood of the film. The sacrifices and troubles faced by parents to become a player are also not exaggerated, but they touch the heart. Saina, who is trying to distance herself from her boyfriend to focus on sports, says that no one asks Sachin why he got married at the age of 22 as he is a male player. The question raised about the marriage of a female sportsman is vexing. It needs to be considered.
