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. Critically, the film received mixed reviews for its slower place, while still being appreciated for its use of realism, cinematography and performances.
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."[1]
