Maidaan is not just a movie but a tribute to Syed Abdul Rahim who was an Indian football coach and manager of the India national team from 1950 until his death in 1963, and a former player. He is regarded as the architect of modern Indian football and his era is known as the golden era of Indian football history.

The makers released its first trailer which was appreciated but not so highly. However, the second trailer of the movie was very much appreciated by the audience and it built quite a hype amongst Ajay Devgn fans. The movie features Ajay Devgn as Syed Abdul Rahim while we also get to see some good performances from Priyamani and Gajraj Rao.

The movie has finally hit the big screens and the audience were looking forward to watching the movie on the big screen. While the movie is getting good reviews from the audience, let’s look at the business aspect of the movie. The movie was supposed to be released on 10 April but the date was pushed one day ahead and instead there were paid previews of the movie.
