We saw his game&#8217;s transition from good to great and then beyond, but what many have missed out was an inside view of what it takes to make a true legend.<\/p>\n<p>How does a young man grow up with success kissing his every move, be the cynosure of a billion eyes and yet remain a humble human being, a committed cricketer, a model husband and a doting father?<\/p>\n<p>James Erskine decided to take on the challenge of attempting to take us into the life and journey of the man himself, a gamble that was both challenging and inspiring for all involved. With this movie, he has demonstrated his ability to successfully take serial facts and build a compelling story around it and show it almost the way it actually was.<\/p>\n<p>If you weren\u2019t already a great follower of cricket and Sachin, then this movie is going to make you join the ranks of millions of die-hard fans, for whom Sachin remains a God of inspiration and a master of sport.<\/p>\n<p>James Erskine does a brilliant job of capturing the Master Blaster\u2019s long and eventful cricketing journey into 2 hours of gripping narration that leaves you appreciating the man in question even more and wishing his journey would have been an unending one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sachin\u2019s story <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The movie opens at the time Sachin\u2019s daughter Sara is born and shows the master in a vulnerable moment as any first time father would be.<\/p>\n<p>The movie has several poignant moments like the time Sachin\u2019s brother takes him to meet Ramkant Achrekar and his famous dialogue that came after watching Sachin\u2019s straight <em>drive \u201cNaam kyaa bataya tumhare bhai ka\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>His breaking the world record along with partner Vinod Kambli in that famous match between their school Shardashram Vidya Mandir and St. Xavier\u2019s, playing in the Harris Shield in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p>His meeting Anjali, his future and how he asks her to meet his parents and request their son\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>And that gut wrenching moment during the World Cup in 1999 when he hears of his father\u2019s death and then goes on to crack a century against Kenya the very next day.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, that famous emotional speech during his farewell at the Wankhede Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>All stuff for the next generation to watch and be inspired for what one can achieve, if only one has the passion and commitment to single-mindedly chase that dream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performances<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great time to go see some rare footage from Sachin\u2019s personal collection and watch the transition of the boy into a champion.<\/p>\n<p>Sachin\u2019s narration through the movie remains authentic though a bit odd but that is to be expected of someone who is not a seasoned actor by profession.<\/p>\n<p>All three voices of Harsha Bhogle, Boria Majumdar and Gideon Haigh do full justice to the movie and tell the story with credibility that make the audience want more.<\/p>\n<p>A.R. Rahman once again lives up to his reputation as a master musician as he scores the music in keeping pace with the film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Sachin: A Billion Dreams Music<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The movie has three songs in the Hindi version and have been penned by Irshad Kamil; the Tamil version has two songs written by Madhan Karky.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hindi version<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hind Mere Jind <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singer(s): A.R.
