Generally, I am a person who finds the game of cricket as waste of time, money, energy and resources. However, I recently listened to a song on YouTube and fell in love with it. That song piqued my curiosity to find out more; believe me, it was a great decision . Read on to find out more about the decision I took .

Story-line: Some people just refuse to give up. For them, it doesn’t matter how old they are. As long as they possess a fighting spirit and an ability not to give up, they are willing to give it all. This week’s pick revolves around one such person whose indomitable spirit defied all the physical barriers. Kaun Pravin Tambe? tells us the story of Pravin Tambe, a man who was passionate about making his debut at Ranji that age did not defy him. At a time, when most of the cricketers think of retiring, this man was hellbent on making what was a dream that he had seen since his childhood a reality. Time did test him a lot of times. He suffered a lot of frustrations and setbacks. But eventually, God did give him a platform which was way beyond his imagination – he made his debut as a bowler at the IPL and the rest as they say was history. But was the journey to fulfil his dream an easy one ? Did people back him or write him off?

Scrutiny: This is an inspiring tale about a fighter who simply refused to give up despite whatever curve balls life threw at him. After all, one needs to be passionate about the dreams one needs to fulfill. And maybe that is what drives some people to stretch their limits irrespective of whatever situations life throws at them. This movie teaches a lot of lessons which one can really apply in his or her life.

The very first lesson it teaches is that never ever give up . This is because dreams do come true if you fight for them. One just needs to work relentlessly towards them. The second lesson it teaches us that if you have the right mindset, age is just a number. There is nothing impossible in this world. One just needs to have the required drive, patience and the belief that one will achieve the end goal irrespective of whatever situations life throws. Thirdly, a lot of people are going to write you off either because they do not have that belief in you or because they are intimidated by the potential one has. One just needs to be true to his or her work and not care about what others think. People are going to test your patience, resilience and a lot of times self-respect. But as long as you are true to yourself and your values, be rest assured of the fact that no one in this world can bring you down. A lot of times we grapple with self-doubt, but if we let our self-doubt take over us, it is always game over for us.

Shreyas Talpade shines as the main protagonist. He is an actor whose potential I personally feel is underutilized. He is an actor who when given good roles shines. So, I personally feel that the directors

The Sentiment:Do watch this beautiful biopic as it has a lot of life lessons to offer. This might be very handy especially if you are suffering from lack of motivation or are doubtful about what life has to offer, maybe this will offer you some great insights about how to deal with it.
