I did not even know what the term Bollywood meant. I had to look it up just now. So I am not gonna try to judge it based on where it was made. I will just tell you what I thought of it as a movie.
I have been sick and was ready to head back to bed when my brother said that this movie that just started seems pretty good. I figured I would watch a few minutes and then lay down for my well needed rest. Well, almost 4 hours later, I'm looking up the movie on IMDb.
I don't understand the game of cricket at all and, honestly, could care less. I was captivated by the characters and their plight. I was rooting for the underdog The songs were so touching and spiritual. The dance scenes, especially the love dance one, were beautiful.
I have read many comments on here that the movie was badly lip sang. I disagree. Until I read it here I hadn't noticed it at all.
Overall, I cheered, I laughed at a few of the zanier characters, and I also found myself streaming tears for the young boy. I found myself experiencing the same emotions the English woman was showing during the game.
I think they tied everything together well in the end. I ended the movie feeling like I wanted to recommend it to others.
So see the movie!! OK. I am finally off to bed.
score 10/10
