Victory: From Ashes to Glory
A small town Indian guy pursues his dream of being a world class cricketer in this sports drama.
Cricket is not so much a popular sport in India than a national obsession. School boys dream of being the next Sachin Tandulkar while grown men worship their sporting heroes like Gods.
It's this intense relationship between sportsman and fan that forms the basis of Ajitpal Mangat's Victory: From Ashes To Glory. The plot centres on Vijay Shekhawat (Harman Baweja) a young man from a small village in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan who tries to fulfill his dad's dreams of becoming an acclaimed cricketer.
Having played the father of a football fanatical daughter in Bend It Like Beckham, Anupam Kher takes on the role of the cricket crazy parent who pushes his son into representing his country. But will success come at a price and can Vijay survive his trial by fire?
Combining genuine on-field sporting action with actual cricketers from the Indian, Sri Lankan, Australian, South African and New Zealand international teams, such as Brett Lee, Shoaib Mallik and Harbhajan Singh amongst many others, this is one for sports lovers everywhere.
