Plot : It is 1983, The Indian Cricket team is to take part in the Cricket World Cup. People are taunting the Team thinking that they will not be able to Win the Cup. They all say snide remarks about Kapil Dev, the Team’s captain, as he doesn't know any English. The team themselves are discouraged as even the Indians are doubting they will win. But after they win a match against the West Indies, their mood lightens and they go on to win another match. But they lose the third and the fourth match and the others lose hope, all except Kapil. They win the fifth match thanks to Kapil. And without his knowledge he has broken the world record. The team plays hard in the Finals and Semi - finals, wins the Cricket World Cup! For the first time, India brought home the World Cup all thanks to one man Kapil Dev.
Review : This is a truly wonderful movie about how Cricket has become a Religion in India. It's incredible how Kapil never gave up and although his teammates did, he kept trying to cheer and motivate them up. It's a beautiful representation of how the Indian team pulled through all the taunts and defeats and won in the end. It is great how they used real images and videos in the movie. It has great songs teeming with motivation and melody. Although the movie could be shorter, It used a great amount of comedy. It also shows how India had to earn its respect, and went from an underdog to the great Winner. It is a perfect movie for any cricket fan with many of the real happenings.
This is a great movie which will surely give a sense of pride and patriotism for our country. And as the movie makes everyone remember: Taste Success once… Tongue wants more!
