Sachin: A Billion Dreams Gets A Thumbs Up From The Audience
Sachin Tendulkar’s biopic, Sachin: A Billion Dreams took moviegoers on a nostalgia trip. While many came out chanting, ‘Sachin! Sachin’, we also saw a few wiping away tears
Sachin Tendulkar is akin to god for many in our cricket
crazy nation. So, no wonder then that the cricket legend’s biopic Sachin: A
Billion Dreams left many moviegoers emotional.
We visited a few suburban multiplexes this morning and as
expected the theatres registered high footfall. The first show for Sachin: A
Billion Dreams started at 9 amand there were shows starting almost every
half hour in many multiplexes.
Many young families had brought their children along but
the most energetic members of the audience were the youngsters who stepped out
of the theatre cheering ‘Sachin! Sachin!’

The highlight of the morning was the presence of a Sachin
Tendulkar body double who had come to watch his idol’s biopic. We also
witnessed a fan getting emotional while talking about the film.
The response is positive, so will Sachin: A Billion
Dreams set the cash registers ringing?
We got in touch with trade analyst Akshaye Rathi who
said: “This film is about a man who has brought millions of people from diverse
religions, castes and regions together to cheer for him. We shouldn’t analyze
this film as a commercial film.”
Rathi added that the docudrama has a got a good opening
and is primed to do well at the box-office.

“Despite being a documentary, the audience flocked
to the theatres. People were pre-booking for the film. Today it has opened with
a decent number, but Sunday it’s going to be better. Overall the film
is performing extremely well.”
What about comparisons with last year’s cricket biopic
M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story?
“M.S.Dhoni was a mainstream commercial film. But Sachin:
A Billion Dreams is a docu-drama. But it has that deep connect with the
people.”
So, will Sachin: A Billion Dreams have the potential to
join the 100 crore club?
“It certainly has the potential as Sachin has that
kind of fanatic fan following. But let’s not analyze it with numbers as it’s a
tribute to a living legend.”
