Those who have even least bit of knowledge about cricket, must be aware of the innumerable records the ‘Cricket God’ Sachin Tendulkar had created on field. Now, a documentary film made on him is performing just like him at box office.
“Sachin: A Billion Dreams”, a first of its docudrama to have been made on a cricketer in the country, has performed excellently over the first weekend. After taking a great opening of Rs 8.4 crore last Friday, the film held well and collected 9.2 and 10 crore respectively on Saturday and Sunday to take the total opening weekend collections to Rs 27.60 crore. Given that we are talking about not exactly a feature film but a docudrama, the numbers are phenomenal.
The film earned the adulation of fans of Sachin and cricket sport in general despite receiving mixed reviews. Sachin’s extensive promotions have also helped the film grab eyeballs. With Baahubali 2 slowing down and new releases lacking spine enough to challenge Sachin’s incomparable charisma, the film is expected to earn decent moolah in the coming days.

“I was 10 when India won the world cup in 1983. Since then I only had one dream and that was to win the world cup. On April 2, 2011 that dream came true. So without any doubt it is my most memorable moment.”
James Erskine, director of the film, said: “I wanted to make Sachin’s story since a long time and I didn’t know how to collaborate but then Ravi (producer) came to me and talked about this project, it was like telling India’s story through one man.”

Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar lent his support to the road safety campaign, although impromptuly, by advising two-wheeler riders to wear helmet.
Two youngsters on a bike spotted Sachin sitting in his car which had stopped at a traffic signal in Hyderabad. When they came close to take selfie with him, he advised them to wear helmet.
“Make a promise. You will wear helmet next time. It’s dangerous to you, Life is very precious. Is that a promise..100 percent?” This is how Sachin, who is also a Rajya Sabha member, extracted the promise from the youths.
As the car started to move, a man riding the two-wheeler with a woman on pillion waved at Sachin.
Sachin waved back at him and also advised, “Helmet dalo bhai.”
The batting legend on Sunday posted the video on his twitter page. “Helmet Dalo!! Road safety should be highest priority for everyone. Please don’t ride without a helmet,” he tweeted.
The video was apparently taken when Sachin was here on April 5 to attend the opening ceremony of Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
