The trailer of A Game of Two Halves sees Sanjay transform from a disgruntled, heartbroken man, who had dreamt of going to the United States and marrying the white girl of his dreams, to a responsible coach, who both uplifts and scolds and protects his team, while finding joy in his team’s victory. A tale of self-exploration, both on and off field, the game of life for Sanjay can only be won if he is victorious in both the halves.
