It was made with a budget of INR 70 lakhs, and the production budget amounted to just under INR 50 lakhs, thus setting the stone for a new generation of high quality low-budget Kannada flicks. Before the commencement of principal photography, actor Vinay Rajkumar trained intensely for his role as a Featherweight Boxer with regular workouts and strict diet regimen for six months.[3]

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. Ultimately his struggle and journey along with his love Shruti, his coach and his manager is what the film portrays.[4]

Cast

  • Vinay Rajkumar as Vijay Kumar
  • Anusha Ranganath as Shruthi
  • Gopal Krishna Deshpande as Pradeep Gowda
  • Suvin Hegde as Shetty

Release and Reception

After experiencing numerous delays and financial constraints following the COVID-19 pandemic, 10 had a small theatrical release on the 16th of Dec, 2022 with minimal publicity and promotions. A week later it was released on the streaming platform Amazon Prime.[5] Critically, the film received mixed reviews for its slower place, while still being appreciated for its use of realism, cinematography and performances.[6]

Times of India reported that "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]
