For the most part of the film, the reconstruction of Azhar's life from real to reel is authentic. Director Tony D’Souza opts for the latter, which is a clever move because Mohammed Azharuddin was always a people’s hero. There are two ways to make a biopic – you either position it like a docu-drama or take the populist route. The film tracks Azhar’s journey as he combats his inner battles with a clear mission – to have his name cleared. On the career front, he is banned from playing cricket after being accused of match fixing.

On the personal front, he makes headlines when he romances a film heroine Sangeeta (Nargis) who he eventually marries after leaving his first wife Naureen (Prachi). But the journey is speckled with controversies and scandals galore. From a lower middle-class background in Hyderabad, Mohammed Azharuddin (Emraan) rises to become one of India’s most successful captains in the world of cricket.

Starring: Emraan Hashmi, Prachi Desai, Nargis Fakhri, Lara Dutta, Kunal Roy Kapoor, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Shernaz PatelĮveryone loves a sporting hero – the guy who comes from nowhere and wins hearts of the nation.
