Two noticeable films recently were Notebook, which told the story of adolescence in a school setting and Speedtrack told the story of the Self Sacrificing Brother (TM), refreshingly, with the backdrop of sports. Director Kamal, has decided to mash both and come up with a movie set in a school backdrop with sports as the theme.
Goal is basically a love story mixed with the game of football set against the beautiful sylvan surroundings of famous Good Shepherd International school in Ooty, which is the directors favourite location. Says Kamal: “Goal is an entertainer that upholds the spirit of fun, love and sportsman spiritâ€.
Rahman plays an important role in the film as a football coach and the role of his wife is done by Jenny. Dolly Bindra a Mumbai comedy artist who has done over 50 Hindi films plays a strict teacher in the film who has a funny husband, the suited and booted Salim Kumar! [Kamal’s `Goal` gets ready! ]
The movie also introduces a new hero, Ranjith Menon and a heroine, Akshaya. Mukta aka Bhanu gets to act in her second Malayalam movie. Out of the new faces he introduced in Nammal, Bhavana alone went to have a successful career while the rest just vanished, like Muslim League MP’s in Malappuram after the last general elections.
Niram and Nammal are testimony to the fact that Kamal is a master of teenage candy flicks. His campus movies are entertaining, sentimental and totally predictable. The script of the movie was written by Kalavoor Ravikumar(He was the scenarist for Kamal’s Nammal as well). His movies have excellent songs and for this film, Vayalar Sharatchandra Varma and Vidyasagar are joining hands for the first time. On the whole this sounds like a well packaged movie.

Mukesh’s last goal was a wonderful one. we all obliged to you for our thrilling moments.
Well, what to say about this movie.Like all other vishu movies, this one is also storyless.I want to detail but spoiler probs holds me back and it would help VC a lot since he is sitting there with a lawn mover. Kamal it is pity you are growing small. Go for better subjects. Otherwise you will be washed out.30 minutes football, 20 minutes songs 30 minutes lame comedy scenes. And to wind up a mukesh and rotten sentiments which could be smelt miles before. Nothing lingers in mind after leaving the theatre.
