What I liked about the way the film has been made is its adherence to facts as they are, and it’s attempt to reveal the hero as he is. From a non-cricket person’s standpoint, this is about a character and not the game. What stands out in a word is: Simplicity. Written by James Erskine and Siva Ananth and directed by James Erskine, the narrative flows well, and without playing games, starts at the beginning and moves in a smooth manner chronologically. Made with Sachin Tendulkar himself in the lead, a celebrated cricket God in India and globally, the film traces his life back from his birth in a small unassuming family in Mumbai, to his achievement of superstardom and global acclaim in the game of cricket. It’s about knowing that into every life some rain must fall.īiopic or documentary is probably the best way to describe this film. It’s about falling and getting up, every single time. Most people think that a documentary/film on a world-renowned cricketer will be about cricket! How wrong they are! A film on heroes is about heroism It’s about struggle and victory. That’s a lot of formalities out of the way. Oh wait… one more reason, curiosity! It’s wonderful to peep into an achiever’s life and see what got him there (and figure out whether you can do that too – with or without the help of a willow!) And, because while I don’t watch or like cricket, I do understand a bit, and I do like our national heroes. So WHY THE did I go for the Sachin movie? And the word bat, immediately brings to my mind a creature that flies in the dark! I am not one of the billion fans glued to the television during one of the key matches. DISCLAIMER: I don’t like, watch or play cricket.
