Plot

The film is a look into the life of a boxer - Vijay Kumar who is accused of doping charges. He believes the culprit behind these changes is his coach who he has a frictional relationship with.

Cast

Release and reception

After experiencing numerous delays and financial constraints following the COVID-19 pandemic, 10 had a small theatrical release on 16 Dec 2022 with minimal publicity and promotions. A week later it was released on the streaming platform Amazon Prime. [5]

Sree Vardhan Vellala for Deccan Herald wrote "One also wonders why the movie is named ‘10’. Except for the protagonist’s jersey number, the number 10 has nothing much to do as far the film’s theme or its conflicts are concerned." [6]

The Times of India wrote "Sports dramas are predictable and Ten is no different. Like every film from that genre, Ten also speaks about the formulaic rise, fall, and rise of the hero. However, what is missing is the edge-of-the-seat adrenaline rush that such films provide. However, the parallels between a coach and student’s life and how a coach tries and fails to salvage his student’s career has been showcased well." [7]

A Sharadhaa of Cinema Express rated 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Karm Chawla’s film has above-average writing and direction, and hits the required highs, and delivers killer punches at the right moments." [8]
