Top 10 Cricket movies in Bollywood

7. Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii (2007)

Widely known as the cricketing version of ‘Like Mike’, the movie is based on how a teenager finds inspiration off a Kapil Dev 1983 World Cup winning bat. Its a typical rags to riches story that had the perfect ingredients of becoming a perfect Bollywood entertainer.

6. Victory (2009)

Victory was that one movie that proved no matter how advanced the film industry may have become, sketching a perfect cricket movie still remains a daunting challenge. I mean, you know there is something wrong with the movie when even special appearances from the likes of Muttiah Muralitharan, Mike Hussey, Brett Lee and Yusuf Pathan couldn’t save the film from being an utter disappointment.

5. Patiala House (2011)

Starring Akshay Kumar, Patiala House presented a complete different side of Indian-origin cricketers in England. Rumoured to have loosely based upon the struggles of England spinner Monty Panesar, this Nikhil Advani film was one of the few sports based movies that garnered success on the commercial platform.

4. Ferrari Ki Sawaari (2012)

After ruling the roost with family entertainers like Munnabhai MBBS and 3 Idiots, Vidhu Vinod Chopra tried his hand on a cricket-comedy starring Sharman Joshi and Boman Irani. Its about a father that would do anything to fulfill his son’s dream to play at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. The movie had its moments filled with warmth and soothing humour as it did enough to make a mark on a niche Indian multiplex audience.
