Iqbal

Cricket is a passion for us, Indians, and Iqbal, the protagonist of this movie is no different, but there are differences, unlike us, he is deaf and dumb and also he wants to represent India internationally.  Coming from a rural background he faces a lot of hindrances and roadblocks, but love and support of his mother and sister and his own persistence eventually helps him to realize his dream.  Along the way, he also converts a drunkard ex-player into his coach, his cricket hating father into a supporter.  This movie has shown the politics that goes down at the grass root level and how some coaches manipulate those in power to get their ward selected.  Watch it if you have not already, it is sure to lift you up....starring Shreyas Talpade as Iqbal, Nassruddin Shah as Mohit jee (his coach), Shweta Prasad as Khadeeja (Iqbal's sister ~ you are going to love her).  Nagesh Kuknoor is the director.


Watch this song for the feel of this movie
