#Hatim tai all episode movie
The third cricket movie from Bollywood also involved Dev Anand - this time as the director, as well as an actor who played Vikram Singh aka Vicky -– an ex-Test cricketer, the National Chairman of Selectors, and also the Deputy Inspector General of the Police.Īny movie made by Dev Anand in the second half of his career is a must-watch, and this is no exception. It takes Ajay an immense mental effort and persistent support from Birju to get back to the Test side. Vikram has his revenge, though, by getting Ajay drunk and dropped from the Indian Test side. Birju Kumar (Vinod Mehra), through a lot of hardship, brought up his younger brother Ajay (Kumar Gaurav) - who eventually makes it to the Indian team at the expense of star cricketer Vikram (Shakti Kapoor). It took a quarter of a century and (possibly) the 1983 World Cup victory for Bollywood to come up with the next cricket movie. The movie is immortalised by Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar’s duet dheere dheere chal, among other classics. They end up getting married, and the marriage goes downhill as it progresses. Though Sunil plays some rather unconventional, ordinary cricket, the Ray Lindwall-ish action of the bowler is unmistakable.
However, Geeta turns up for a match Sunil plays, and falls in love with Sunil during the match. Sunil Kumar (Dev Anand), an upcoming cricketer, arrives in Bombay and rents a room, but runs into arguments with Geeta (Mala Sinha), the landlord’s daughter pretty soon. The 16 that qualify, though, are as follows: There have been cricket matches in movies like Rajiv Mehra’s Chamatkar or Sohail Khan’s Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya, but they can hardly be classified as cricket-based movies. However, we would not include these movies in our list, since cricket does not play a significant role in any of these movies. On the other hand, when Sameer (Raj Babbar) is chased by goons towards the end of Dayal Nihalani’s Karm Yodha, he runs into a cricket field and asks Kapil Dev for protection!
When Rajkumar Saxena (played by Naseeruddin Shah) had to spend 30 billion rupees in 30 days to inherit 330 billion rupees from his eccentric grandfather Mangat Ram (played by Harindranath Chattopadhyay) in Kawal Sharma’s Maalamaal, one of his schemes was to hijack Sunil Gavaskar to play against his Dharavi XI. There have been other movies where cricketers have played significant roles as well. The Chairman of Selectors did not look too bad singing around trees! Kabhi Ajnabi The, the movie that starred Sandeep Patil (along with Poonam Dhillon and Debashree Roy), also had Syed Kirmani playing a minor role, and Clive Lloyd playing himself. Salim Durani, Sandeep Patil, Ajay Jadeja, Vinod Kambli, Salil Ankola, and Mohsin Khan come to mind immediately. There have been cricketers who have worked - often as lead actors - in Bollywood movies. The following scene from Namak Halaal is an example: Of course, there were a few comic attempts based on cricket and its heroes.
In fact, till 1983 there had been virtually no cricket-based Hindi movie other than the Subodh Mukherji’s Love Marriage, where cricket played a role - but the movie was based on the disintegration of a romantic relationship than the sport. It is possibly the only occasion when two of India’s biggest glamour worlds come together.ĭespite the craze in cricket, the number of cricket-based movies in Bollywood has been quite limited. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is when the big Bollywood stars can be seen crowding to the big grounds in dozens - whether representing the franchises, or sometimes even as supporters. Abhishek Mukherjee looks at 16-Bollywood movies based on cricket. The Indian Premier League is a perfect blend of Bollywood and cricket. Some of the Bollywood movies based on cricket.
