Abstract
Background: In recent years, the Indian Hindi film industry has produced a number of films like Mary Kom (Kumar, Citation2014) on boxing, Dangal (Tiwari, Citation2016) on wrestling, Panga (Tiwari, Citation2020) on kabaddi, Rashmi Rocket (Khurana, Citation2021) on track and field, and Shabaash Mithu (Mukherji, Citation2022) on cricket. These show the empowering journey of athletes in India. Saina (Gupte, Citation2021), directed by Amole Gupte, is one such Indian Hindi-language biographical sports film that chronicles the career trajectories of Indian badminton player Saina Nehwal (Parineeti Chopra). In doing so, the film pays homage to the individuals who have significantly contributed to her perseverance and indomitable spirit.
