With this film, our generation was treated to a fictionalised version of the great win. Meanwhile, our parents’ generation were able to relive the memories of the year 1983, when India first won a World Cup. What a roller coaster of emotions that must be.
Interestingly, a Twitter user shared a photo of her father watching the movie and penned his thoughts on reliving the tournament’s most memorable moments through the screen. She highlighted the range of emotions her father felt as he watched the historic 1983 Cricket World Cup.
