    THANK YOU

    Cricket is a religion in India but to know the birth of this religion we need to watch the movie

    We were not born that time but we lived the after effects.

    Sachins , Dhonis, Sehwags , Dravids all are the byproduct of this great event.

    This movie is not about acting and all this is about the emotional journey, the birth of this GAME.

    The game that unites us. How a dream of a mad captain revolutionised the image of cricket 🏏 in this country.

    I have met met Kapil at an airport and that humble , gentle soul got the game to India

    I thank KAPIL DEV and the whole team of 1983

    Thank you Kabir Khan for making is revisit the historic day.

    Again its no acting, direction , editing nothing Its the GAME. Birth of a new RELIGION A NEW INDIA.

    • Trivia
      Indian skipper Kapil Dev's legendary knock of 175 unbeaten against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells to rescue India from a situation of 17/5 to a final total of 266/8 was not covered by the BBC that day since it was on strike. However, radio commentary was available and became the source material for visualization of the game. The match is also considered as the turning point of the World Cup.
