With this figure, Sachin: A Billion Dreams has now entered the Top 10 Hindi film grossers of 2017. The film is at No.8 now in the list of the year’s highest grossing Hindi films. This is especially commendable because Docu-drama as a genre is reasonably new for the Indian audiences and the film’s good run at the box office is a standing proof of Sachin Tendulkar’s incredible fan following in India. The film released across 2800 screens in India and overseas. Sachin also made sure that the film was appropriately promoted before its grand release.
Sachin: A Billion Dreams takes us through the narration of the entire graph of the cricketer’s life starting from his childhood as a determined boy with aspirations to play cricket for the country, the superstitions he developed over the years, his personal life including his love story, the struggles through his exemplary and illustrious career, down up to his farewell from the Indian national cricket team.
The film has been written and directed by James Erskine and produced by Ravi Bhagchandka and Carnival Motion Pictures under 200 NotOut Productions. The film released in cinema screens on May 26th and enjoys tax free status in the states of Maharashtra, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, Delhi and Odisha.
