As the guilt-ridden couple struggling to keep their marriage afloat, it’s through her unspeakable words Sarah places her faith in Arjun and the scenes between them are so refreshing. As Arjun, it’s extremely difficult to see Nani in the role and that’s probably the biggest achievement of Jersey, which also features Shraddha Srinath in a pivotal role. Nani is terrific as Arjun and he hasn’t looked so comfortable in role in a while. Nani hits all the right notes in his portrayal of a former cricketer and a father in Jersey. Instead of making this a story of glory and success, Gowtam makes this a tale of redemption and self-discovery. Jersey humanizes a sports star and shows us how his failures can affect the people close to him. In recent years, no other filmmaker has made a sports film with such ease and conviction, and Gowtam makes a strong mark with this story of a late bloomer.
This is the success story of a man who has seen more failures and constantly been beaten by life but refuses to give up. This is not the story of a hero this is one of a father who doesn’t want to disappoint his son, of a husband who wants to finally bring a ray of hope into his wife’s life and of a cricketer who wants to fulfill his coach’s long-time wish. Jersey is both a competent sports drama and a moving tale of a father and son. 10 years after he’s bid adieu to cricket, he starts playing once again to prove himself at 36 for the sake of his son. Reality hits him hard and he’s no longer the arrogant Arjun he used to be as he reminds himself he has a wife and son to look after.
At the peak of his career when he’s due to be selected for the Indian team, Arjun decides to quit cricket after being let down by politics in the selection committee. Sarah (Shraddha) is madly in love with Arjun and she marries him against her father’s wishes. Jersey, which predominantly unfolds between 19, revolves around a cocky ex-Ranji cricketer Arjun ( Nani), who is undoubtedly the best player of his time.
