5 moments from Sachin: A Billion Dreams which reduced you to tears

#1 The father-son relationship

The father-son duo

The movie is not just about a story of a sporting icon, but it also chronicles the various relationships he shared with people.

The most moving among them was his relationship with his father, Ramesh Tendulkar, and director James Erskine has done a superb job by combining some rare home-made footage with the news videos in the current context.

He is very candid to acknowledge the fact that his father, Ramesh Tendulkar made sure that he understands how important it was to be a good human being which will always define him irrespective of his cricketing career.

And then came the 1999 World Cup, when his father passed away and a young man came back after the funeral to play for his country. He smashed a century against Kenya and when he looked skywards, he was not the only one crying.

Fittingly enough, the movie ends with the old man and few of his life lessons and how his son has become the darling of the country.

“After every milestone, I look up to thank the almighty, but after 1999 it was also my father, a person who has defined me and my life,” Sachin says.

If you have emotions, you are bound to be choked at this father-son relationship.
