In a movie review of Maidaan, DNA India wrote that Ajay Devgn-starrer scores because of the balanced narrative without jingoism. Maidaan isn't just about the stature of Indian football through the 1950s but is also about the journey of coach Syed Abdul Rahim, and his own growth. The film rides on the performances of the leads. Ajay Devgn is the soul of the film.
