I had a concern before I went to see this film. Was this film going to go the Bollywood route a la the Emraan Hashmi starrer Azhar or the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer Ms Dhoni? After watching the film my concern was completely different – How do you review someone’s memories and experiences? The answer is simple. You can’t.
And this is what Sachin – A Billion Dreams is. A journey through the trials and tribulations, the happiness and sadness of the man the sports world and cricketing fans know as ‘The Little Master’. It is about the multiple journeys and experiences of the people alongside a single individual. And it is all real.
To call this a film would be wrong, because it isn’t. It is a documentary about cricket, Sachin and Sachin’s life between 22 yards for 24 years. It is about how hard work and talent make greatness putting it quite simply.

After Utv-Disney India, yet another speculation is that Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures is facing trouble to keep up with competition and due to the fate of its past few films the production house may be heading for a shut down. Though there has been no official announcement on the same, we hear that the company hasn't been making any call on future films, besides the ones that are already under production. Sameer Nair, group CEO of Balaji Telefilms though denied plans of a shut down in a recent interview, he did mention that the company is currently not keen on taking up any more film projects. He further maintained that their focus has always been on developing content for the television wing (Balaji is known for several shows that occupy prime time on TV) and the films, which are a high-risk business, will contribute to the company in much lesser frequency.

Says her spokesperson,“Nargis has been extremely overworked working on 3 films simultaneously over the last year. For someone who’s used to doing one film at a time, this was quite a bit for Nargis.

Azhar
Starring Emraan Hashmi, Prachi Desai, Nargis Fakhri, Lara Dutta,Kunal Roy Kapoor
Directed by Tony D’Souza
Rating: *** ½
So did he or did he not? Did cricketing phenomenon Mohammad Azharuddin (who fell short of achieving what Sachin Tendulkar or Sunil Gavaskar did) indulge in….ahem…match-fixing? The film leaves us unsure of Azhar’s moral correctness? In building a case of his heroic stature in and out of the sports field, writer Rajat Arora doesn’t flinch from asking uncomfortable questions about Azharuddin career moves and personal choices.
As directed by Tony d’Souza (whose last film Boss was a big bad-ass sambhar-curry) the bio-pic shifts gears from the personal to the professional without tripping on its nose. And that no mean achievement. In making a smooth transition from Azhar’s misadventures on the field to his complicated relationship-status, the narrative shows a level of sensibleness and straight-talking directness...

With the release of Azhar only a few days away, chatter about the movie has been at an all-time high! Many have speculated on whether the movie will expose a whole new side of cricket and it seems it just might!

Everyone is aware of the fact that it was with the complete permission of former captain of the Indian cricket team, Mohammad Azharuddin, did the biopic on him go on floor. In fact, he is one of those few sports personas (like Milkha Singh) who has not only completely supported the film but has also been involved in every aspect of the process of the film. However, now it seems that certain things have started bothering the former cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin. Firstly, there are speculations that Azharuddin is unhappy with the makers of the film. We hear that the cricketer is upset with the makers after they have apparently included some sensitive information that was shared by him off the record. Apparently, the said details may cause several problems for some people. Not divulging many details, the director of the film, Tony D'Souza has maintained that they are currently in...

Much anticipated film Azhar releases on the coming Friday and so far, the makers have kept things tightly under wraps. Ever since the unveiling of the trailer, several ex-cricketers and Bollywood personalities have gone into a tizzy in anticipation of how (and if) they have been portrayed in the film. A source says, "The makers have ensured absolute authenticity in certain events that were narrated to them. Making a film on such a sensitive subject warrants the right representation and thus the makers are looking at ways to insert the 'real' footage of the sting operation in the film." The sting operation on the match fixing scandal had shocked the nation and the sport of cricket. The lid was blown off several players through the sting expose. With makers trying to get the real footage in the film, there is bound to be some nervousness around in the cricket fraternity.

The Randeep Hooda starrer ‘Sarbjit’, is based on a real life story and also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Richa Chaddha. The film has been directed by Omung Kumar who’s last successful film was ‘Mary Kom’. The music of ‘Sarbjit’, has been composed by a mixture of composers (surprise, surprise!) namely Amaal Malik, Jeet Ganguli and also features a host of new composers such as Shail-Pritesh, Tanishk Bagchi and Shashi-Shivamm.
The film features a very sensitive storyline which also has a lot of pain surrounding it, and this has been well reflected in all of the songs in the album. Despite the album having wide range of composers, all of the songs do carry the same ‘sound’.
Salamat – sung by Arijit Singh & Tulsi Kumar. Music by Amaal Malik. Lyrics by Rashmi Virag

Bollywood has always loved its film stories inspired by true life. When you decide to tell the story of a cricket legend using Bollywood stars you can hardly go wrong. Azhar which is based on the life of an outstanding cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin, shows not just his professional journey but also his personal life. Nargis Fakhri who will essay the role of Sangeeta Bijlani in the film ‘Azhar’ has set the glamour quotient a notch higher with her song Oye Oye. Nargis is setting the stage on fire in the revised version of the iconic 90’s hit. Considering that Sangeeta was one of the most popular starts of her time and Tridev being one of her most popular movies, it is not a surprise that this iconic number was chosen to be recreated. Though the set is quite different from its 90s counterpart, the ‘Gajar’ which means the ‘Clock’ is used in both the songs.

After some media reports that the ex-cricketer is planning to sue the makers, actor Karanvir Sharma - who is allegedly portraying the role of Manoj has gone underground. "Karanvir is very professional so it is very unlike him to be incommunicado. We wanted him for a promotional event that we were planning, but he is suddenly unreachable," says director Tony D'Souza. Manoj Prabhakar's infamous sting operation made him one of the whistle-blowers of the match fixing scandal. Unconfirmed reports indicate that his character is allegedly the main 'villain' in the film.

When there were attempts made to contact Manoj in order to verify the claims, he remained unavailable for comment. Meanwhile, the makers seem to be in no mood to relent as there are some open references to...

The makers of Azhar have revealed Kunaal Roy Kapur’s incredible look from the film where he portrays the dramatized role of Azhar’s real life lawyer friend Reddy.
Sporting a bald patch along with dentures to give his face an aged look, well aided by prosthetics, Kunaal is unrecognizable as Reddy and seems to have gone extra mile for his role.
His character is based on the lawyer and a friend of Azhar who had defended the cricketer in the match-fixing scandal.
Talking about his look in the film, Kunaal said, “It took about two hours to get the look because of the prosthetics. I had a latex bald piece stuck to my forehead and then there was a wig that went on top of it. I was given a denture-like thing to make my face look fuller. By the end of the look test, I couldn’t recognize myself.

Bollywood actor Karanvir Sharma will now be seen essaying the role of the Azhar’s nemesis in the Emraan Hashmi starrer movie. Karanvir plays the inspired character of Manoj, who had an important part to play in the downfall of Azhar.
Karanvir has worked hard to get into the skin of the character. As a part of his preparation for the role, he underwent long hours of committed practice to get the bowling and batting spot on. He specially worked on his bowling style as it had to be tampered from unorthodox to orthodox off-swinger. “All of this had to be done over a course of two months as I was the last actor to come on board. Needless to say the voice modulation, the 80’s hairstyle, the moustache and a lot of tan added to the hard work.”
