Soorma is a 2018 Indian biographical sports movie directed by Shaad Ali and produced by Sony Pictures Networks India, C.S. Films, and Chitrangda Singh. The film is based on the life of former Indian national hockey team player Sandeep Singh, who was left partially paralyzed after being hit by a bullet in a train accident in 2006. The movie stars Diljit Dosanjh as Sandeep Singh, Taapsee Pannu as his love interest, and Angad Bedi as Sandeep's elder brother and fellow hockey player. The film follows Sandeep's journey from a small town boy in Haryana to becoming the captain of the Indian hockey team.

The first half of the movie showcases Sandeep's struggles in his early life, including his strained relationship with his brother, his father's disapproval of his passion for hockey, and the accidental shooting that leaves him paralyzed. Despite all odds, Sandeep's sheer determination and love for the sport drive him towards a full recovery and a comeback to the national team.

The second half of the movie focuses on Sandeep's journey as he overcomes his physical setbacks and becomes 'Flicker Singh', known for his legendary drag flicks. From being a struggling player, Sandeep becomes the captain of the Indian national hockey team and leads them to victory. Along the way, he also rekindles his relationship with his brother and finds love with Harpreet, played by Taapsee Pannu.

Taapsee Pannu shines as Harpreet, bringing both gravitas and humor to her role. Angad Bedi delivers a heartfelt performance as Sandeep's brother, Bikramjeet.

Director Shaad Ali and cinematographer Chirantan Das make excellent use of visuals to bring Sandeep's story alive on the screen. The film's music, composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, is a highlight, particularly the soulful 'Ishq Di Baajiyaan.'

Overall, Soorma is an inspiring portrayal of Sandeep Singh's journey, and how he overcame all obstacles to become a legend in Indian hockey. It is a movie that will leave you feeling uplifted, inspired, and proud to be Indian.
