Sachin Tendulkar’s biopic- Sachin: A Billion Dreams releases today. Finally, the day is here when everyone will get to know the story of Sachin and his journey to become the ‘God’ of cricket. The legend of cricket has proven his mettle on more than one occasions. So much so, that Indian cricket became synonymous with Sachin. The fans of Indian cricket would automatically feel a sense of relief when they saw Sachin bat on the crease.
The movie focuses on the lesser known facts about Sachin’s life. Almost everyone has seen him bat and make India victorious, but not many know about his journey. It tells how Sachin’s brother Ajit Tendulkar understood his potential and pushed him to become a cricketer. It chronicles how Sachin’s childhood was shaped by his brother and coach.
Not only his glory days, Sachin: A Billion Dreams, also traces the time when he was criticised for his poor performance. The trailer hinted that Sachin’s house was vandalised during his not-so-good days, troubling the star. But Sachin woke from the ashes like a Phoenix and played innings that shut his critics in style. He was also the member of the squad that got India its Second World Cup in 2011.
