A tale of a small boy with dreams and his journey to becoming the God of Cricket and the most celebrated sportsperson in his country.
Leave your thoughts about Sachin: A Billion Dreams.
| FilmfareRachit GuptaThis humanization of sorts, of the God of cricket, is a rare event. That's reason enough to watch and relish this remarkable film on a man who's inspired billions in the last 28 years. |
| Scroll.inVinayakk MohanaranganDoes the biographical documentary reveal anything that we didn't already know about him? That's a definite no. |
| The Times of IndiaMeena IyerAcademically, this film is important because for a nation that revers cricket, it serves as a reminder that prodigies may be born, but they become Sachin Tendulkar only through perseverance. |
| Hindustan TimesRohit VatsI wiped my eyes when the same footage played inside the theatre, I won't deny that, but that's mostly because of the nostalgia attached to my teens. It's reliving the Sachin magic, not a perfect docu-drama on him. |
| User ReviewHemanth SSachin: A Billion Dreams Tendulkar's story is told captivatingly This isn't just the story of a sporting icon though. There are several flashback scenes in the film, set in the '90s, that remind you of a time when the country was facing all sorts of issues. One young Mumbaikar became a symbol of hope for millions of Indians. But... can the hope of so many sometimes become a burden? This is the question you'll find yourself pondering as the debacle at Eden gardens, in the 1996 World Cup semi-final, is depicted. India's capitulation after Sachin got out was symptomatic of the over reliance on Tendulkar. Sachin narrates the events of his life with unbelievable frankness. He shares the utter disappointment he felt on being removed as the captain. His conviction comes through when he says that the captaincy can be taken away from him - but not cricket. Next up is a bout of absolute cricket nostalgia as we see India's battle with Australia and a match up with spin wizard Shane Warne: Visuals of an epic battle from that high voltage series in 1997-98 have punches and counter punches that make for a sumptuous treat. The biggest moment of all comes when the Great Don Bradman compares Sachin with himself! The film captures the minutest aspects of Sachin's life in fantastic detail. The difficult periods of his life are portrayed with a lot of sensitivity, and the story-telling is at all times, crisp and articulate. As a viewer, you'll be enchanted at the way this film catches the numerous moments that made Sachin a legend. Couple that with the 'Saaachin Saaachin' chants The movie is not just about Sachin's victories, it is also about his failures. And that's what makes Sachin: A Billion Dreams so engaging. If "God Of Cricket"can fail and return, why can't we?..... |
| User ReviewRabi S#Sachin...Outrageous biographical delivered impeccable..! Sema movie loved it...We Miss U Sachin Feeling very emotional..Sema Feel Sachin.. Sachin..Sachin...Sachin..Theaters Erupted |
| User ReviewShardul SSachiiin...Sachin! There are ladies and gentlemen of a certain vintage who have had the honor and pleasure of witnessing Sachin's career from debut to retirement. I am of course referring to the greatest generation - all of us who were privileged to be born in the 70s! My immediate thought 10 minutes into the documentary was that Sachin has given all of us an incredible time machine to feel like young teenagers again. When he made his debut against Pakistan in 1989, I was studying for my std.12th board exams. I got goosebumps when they showed Sachin hitting the awesome Abdul Qadir for big sixers which landed outside the ground! I had seen that incredible match live when Sachin had scored 53 runs off 18 balls !! We still remember operation Desert Storm, when Sachin single handedly took India to the final and we won the Coca Cola cup handsomely against Australia in 1998. The best part of this documentary is that it shows his human side and the incredible pain and sacrifices he went through to become a world class player. He fully credits his elder brother Ajit for a big part of his success. His family and friends have been his support system and they have stood by him through thick and thin. He continually emphasizes that TEAM INDIA counts. Individual brilliance does not. An excellent lesson for success in every walk of life! We often perceive the external aura of celebrities. But we never know the pressure and overwhelming odds they face on a daily basis. Sachin has shared his life and provided inspiration to all of us. On a personal note, I had a BIG smile on my face when Sachin revealed the one song he listens to when he is stressed and wants to relax. It is by our own Bappi da from Mithun da's Disco Dancer!! "Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar"!!! :) Take a bow little master. Thank you for this heart warming documentary and giving us a chance to relive our teenage years! |
| User ReviewSurajit Kumar MAfter a long time writing a review for a special movie. Sachin is himself enough to create the buzz to watch the movie. You can get a chance to see the stroke play in the big screen that you used to see in the small television screens. His personal interviews and family life, most importantly his dedication towards the game of cricket. That made Sachin great. The documentary-drama genre is not successful in India but still it is no 1 in IMDB in popular category. The emotions, the matches, the straight drives, the softness in his voice all are wonderful to watch. The big thing is he made an honest movie being an honest person himself. His rift with Azhar was shown, so as his frustration of his removal from captaincy. I liked it a lot and could watch it 100 times. The "Sachin Sachin" chant was mesmerizing. |
| User ReviewMayank ABrilliant movie especially for a guy like me who is a fan of the little master, although got to say it caters to a very selective audience being a self-narrated biography, basically it's a must watch for Sachin fans, a good watch for cricket or sports fan. Sachin goes over the highs and lows of his life, the moments which were precious for him and the points which left him dejected. We get to see glimpse of his family life, scarifies and hardship he and the people around his had to go thru for him to reach the level he did. Reminds us ones again why he was the favorite of the nation, it was not only his batting skill but his integrity and characteristics which made him the icon of a billion people. |
| User ReviewRangan RThe face of three generations of Indian cricket. The Indian film market isn't made for documentary films. If there's an exception, that has to be not just cricket, but Sachin Tendulkar. I know you know that India is a vast cultural diverse country. Hundreds of language, ethnic, religion, caste, in so many ways, so many people split over the things. But one thing that unites north, south, northeast is the cricket. The '83 World Cup might have been the new beginning, but Sachin was the X factor for the Indian cricket to see a revolution. The sports body saw an opportunity and rebranded themselves with his presence. Because of him, the Indians started to watch cricket, learn cricket. Hence the cricket became a religion and Sachin's a god. This is the second biographical-sport film about Indian cricket I'm seeing after 'M.S. Dhoni: An Untold Story'. I liked that it wasn't a feature film. Feature films are commercialised, skips parts, alters storyline and characters. Not to forget that there will be boring music tracks if it is an Indian film. Besides, to see the actors in the shoes of real life achievers, not that good as I always say, why did that guy won the Oscar, who just depicted the one who struggled and achieved in the real cruel world. So hats off to the filmmakers for bringing this up in the best way possible. You could call it a prequel to that Dhoni film. Not just because both the films are about cricket or Indian cricket, but they both ran parallel. In a way they are connected. Except, focused on the different person, and this one had a head start like a decade earlier. Most of the achievers in the sports had began with an unexpected gift at their very young age that steered them to choose an apt career. It could be anything. A badminton racquet or a chessboard or a pair of shoes. For Tendulkar, it was a cricket bat from his big sister. He was a naughty boy till he got that bat. With his brother's support, he took the sport seriously and then everything has changed for him for the next 27 years of his life. At the age eleven, he first took the bat. Five years later, he was the youngest player to represent his nation. That too was against the arch-rival in their home turf. I don't remember all those, because I was just a baby then. But 6 years later, I joined the fan club of one billion. I'm not a Tendulkar fan, though I always respected him alongside a few other gentlemen like him, Dravid and Dhoni. They're not just the players with good conducts, but rewrote the history. Besides, Nobody needs to be a Tendulkar fan to enjoy his batting. There were many legends before him and after him, but he'd found his own unique place that will be remembered for decades, centuries. ?India played themselves into a situation that was not uncommon in those days. If Tendulkar out, India is out.? Being young would have been his advantage, but after getting a captaincy, he had struggled. If you're a 70s, 80s kid grown up in the 90s, then you would know the exact reason. In the late 90s, the match fixing event broke out. I remember my first ever World Cup, the '99 in England. But a sad event surfaced in his life. Even I got emotional while watching that part in this film. Those videos I watched 18 years ago and watching the same clips in this film with a backstory, tell me who won't melt down. A true hero. But the film wasn't just highlighting his achievements, focused on his life journey through the cricket he loved. So you could see everything he'd seen his own eyes, like what his teammates achieved too and he was part of it. The narration was hopping between the World Cups like the checkpoints. How his cricketing life, as well as personal life shaped every four years were interesting to see. Because he'd started his career at a young age, he saw many teammates come and go. The generation after generation for three, the sport too saw the revolution alongside. During his final days, it was the T20 era. The fearless cricket age. Seeing lots of ups and downs, he'd marked his presence to inspire the future Indian cricketers. Even the Dhoni, Kohli and many legends of todays world cricketers have said that they've got inspiration from him. They've recreated the his boyhood life with the actors. Only in the initial stage to have a perfect start. Because I guess they didn't have video clips for those sections. Tendulkar was born in an average Indian middle class family. But once his cricketing life began, and getting a popular, at least in the Mumbai region was the turning point. Especially after that dream run-fest with Vinod Kambli. Where's the Sudhir Chaudhary? Anybody who is familiar with Indian cricket knows that guy. Yeah, he was there for a few seconds, but I anticipated a small brief or mention about him. My experience was good, though listening all the dialogues, even the real clips in Tamil translation looked a bit strange, but nothing wrong. They'd skipped the IPL part, just like Dhoni's film to make it a united national product. But one of the best parts of that league was, his batting was celebrated even from the opposition fans. So the India united for him, because of him when franchise based regional war were going on. Just over the two hour long, it was a well detailed biopic. If you're an Indian cricket fan, you surely would love it. Even if you're a cricket fan from overseas, there's no reason to ignore it. A must see for all who love this sport, as well as who never heard of it to learn something out of it. 10/10 |
